Whenever I think there is hope for America, I then see headlines like "D.C. Councilman Apologizes For Claiming Jews Control Weather" -- (link) - crash davis Mar 19, 14:23 8

Twitch: streamer makes $500K...a month. -- (link) - Remlik Mar 19, 13:58 11
- Would you suppose that the money comes from micropayments from fans, ad revenue (are there ads in Twitch?) or outside revenue streams? -- nm - Mop Mar 19, 14:49 7
  - He makes $560,000 from subscriptions alone. That doesn't include donations (which are frequent) and YouTube ad revenue. - Dignan Mar 19, 15:09 1
    - Also, you should watch his stuff if you want to learn Fortnite strategy. nm - Dignan Mar 19, 15:10
  - I saw a version earlier that said the 500K is from a portion of paid channel subscriptions paid to him. - b. Mar 19, 14:57

    - Are some channels pay-only? -- nm - Mop Mar 19, 14:57 1

  - Is that all you are getting? -- nm - ty97 Mar 19, 14:25 3
    - hm, that's all downtown DC is supposed to get. Dulles is 5-8 Tuesday night and 3-5 Wednesday. I fly 8am Wed. -- nm - Max Mar 19, 14:26 2
      - If you are flying from Dulles that could be a problem. 5-8 overnight means they likely won't leave planes at Dulles overnight which means morning - ty97 Mar 19, 14:29 1
        
        What will NYC do for Wed. if Tuesday night is clear and Wed. snow doesn't start until late morning? -- nm - Max Mar 19, 14:39

- Go to Vegas. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 19, 15:39
- I'd also get a photo of Katie Cassidy and say "I'm here because your biggest fan David couldn't make it." -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 14:12 2
  - just like tattoos, I find getting these photo ops to be very addictive. -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 14:15 1
    - I see how they could be fun "Here is me with Nyssa al Ghul" -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 14:19
- This year's Heroes & Villains is supposed to be a Walker Stalker joint con. It will be interesting to see how many Walking Dead cast members come out - IrishStephen Mar 19, 13:55 1

      - also of note, she is one of the sweetest people both times we saw her there. - groiny Mar 19, 14:07 1
        
        Spawn and I saw her 1st or 2nd year of the show at C2E2 and she was great. and free autographs -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 14:08
      - I have gotten her twice at shows, so she does not cancel much.... - groiny Mar 19, 13:56 6
        
        she just canceled the England or Europe show. -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 13:58 2
        
        yeah, but she is only here for one of the 2 days already. -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 13:59 1
        
        right on -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 14:07
        
        Are sure this show is real and you're not just making it up. I just noticed The Boondock Saints guys in the middle of everything. -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 13:57 2
        
        Reedus and he do Boondock Saints photo ops and sell out like crazy -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 14:01

      - She is the #1 attraction there. That would suck -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 13:54 1
        
        not really, Reedus and Morgan are all sold out -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 13:57
      - same weekend as C2E2... -- nm - Remlik Mar 19, 13:54
    - seriously, are all of these people going to be there? -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 13:48 12
      - luckily, I have some of them photo-opped already, I just need a few more. -- nm - groiny Mar 19, 13:51 6

FF 2018 Predictions! Rank these QB's in order of fantasy point production - Strongbad Mar 19, 12:52 14
- Smith, Cousins and Garapalo will finish nearly identical with Keenum way behind. -- nm - Spawn Mar 19, 13:09
- Garappolo, Cousins, Smith, Keenum. -- nm - David Mar 19, 13:08
- Cousins, Smith, Garappolo ... and way behind the others ... Keenum. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 19, 13:07 8
  - I agree with this ranking -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 13:20 7
    - I'm genuinely curious why people think that Shanny + Jimmy G isn't fantasy gold. -- nm - David Mar 19, 13:24 6
      - I'm buying on this. But it's not zero-risk, hence coin-flip with Cousins. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 19, 13:51
      - I would like to see a full season from Grappa before I sing his praises. -- nm - crash davis Mar 19, 13:29 2
        
        You're just mad that SF now has the best QB in the division. -- nm - David Mar 19, 13:34 1
        
        In the NFCW, the QB's skillset must align with the coach. For example, Arizona's plan calls for a QB with Brittle Bone Disease and they got the - crash davis Mar 19, 13:42
      - I think they are -- just Cousins is better gold -- he's got better weapons than San Fran. - Will Hunting Mar 19, 13:25 1
        
        This is where I'm at, too. Cousins and Smith have more knowns than unknowns on their teams. Garoppolo faces more unknowns than knowns on the 49ers. - ReluctantCynic Mar 19, 13:52
