![]() ![]() I spent 20 minutes stressing out because I had other assignments I had to work on. I also couldn’t use the home button or the power button either, so I was stuck on the sign in screen. It at first didn’t bother me since I usually get kicked out of practice test on the college board site, however, because I had the LockDown browser open, I was not able to login again. While I was taking a practice exam(I was on question 43 out of 60), I was randomly kicked out of it and brought back to the sign in screen. Screw this app and its Neanderthal developers.īecause of distance learning, college Board requires AP students to download this app for the exams. The quiz was an easy 10 questions long and would have taken me no more than 10 minutes to complete. And here I am, a straight A student getting the first B in my college career all because of an embarrassing excuse of a mobile test proctoring application. The former would even be preferred at this point. I might as well have just gone to a public bathroom and flipped through pages of an STD textbook for 2 hours instead of going through the immeasurable suffering that was trying to make this app work. Considering most professors in this online day and age don’t trust students when test taking at home, they didn’t buy that this garbage app was the culprit and not my iPad or WiFi which has never had any problems to date. I started logging into canvas to take a 30 minute quiz just so the app would freeze and crash over a dozen times, effectively taking more time than the quiz allowed for, granting me a 0 on it. ![]() This is the first app review I’ve ever made and I’ll just start off by saying that using lockdown browser was the absolute worst test taking experience I have ever had. ![]()

![]() ![]() Weight is an incredibly light (unloaded) 21.9 oz/621 grams.It’s closer to a full-size concealable carry weapon. Still, the FNX-9 is somewhat larger than what I would classify as a compact firearm. I’ve not yet carried the FNX-9, but I have obtained a Don Hume H721 Double Nine holster (my favorite for both the Walther P99c AS and the PPK/S).ĭon Hume H721 Holsters for Walther PPK or PPK/S and Walther P99c AS While the FNX-45 is too bulky and hefty for concealed carry, not so much with the FNX-9. The trigger reset point equals the FNX-45 at around ½”/13mm with a positive tactile indication and barely audible click, but then you’re back to the previously mentioned slightly mushy trigger creep before reaching the trip point. These numbers are again nearly identical but ever-so-slightly better than what I measured on the FNX-45. After that point the trigger mushes along for around ⅛”/3mm before tripping. Trigger take-up is about ⅜”/10mm before your finger encounters any resistance. Still, the FNX single-action trigger is far better than partially cocked striker-fired pistols such as the Glock. Don’t even think of comparing the FNX single-action trigger to the Colt M1991A1 they’re not even close. You’ll get a better single-action trigger out of a SIG P22(x), and certainly much better out of the Walther PP-series or a P99 AS. Single-action is okay, but it’s not match grade by any stretch. For instance I have no problem keeping on target out to a range of 15 yards with the FNX-45 in double-action, and the triggers between these two pistols are pretty much identical in most respects. At defensive ranges that’s not really what I would consider a factor, and the trigger is not overly heavy to the point where you wouldn’t be able to keep aim on target at any reasonable range. The FNX trigger also lacks any real tactile feedback before the hammer trips. Double-action is long and moderately heavy, but probably less so than the SIG P22(x) series of double-action/single-action pistols. The FNX-9 is a combat weapon, and the trigger reflects that. Groupings were good for a handgun (and my rather pathetic level of talent) for the distance, but I definitely want to give the FNX-9 a more controlled look at the standard 21-foot/6.4-meter defensive shooting range before delving any further into this pistol’s accuracy. But with that in mind, not only was I on the paper, I was also only somewhat high and just slightly left of my point of aim. That target sat about 60 feet/18 meters downrange. I wasn’t really trying to evaluate aim on this outing, as I was firing this day at a target previously set up for the new Ruger Mini-14 Tactical 300 AAC Blackout. Aim is intuitive, but point of impact seems just a tad high. This in conjunction with the low bore access seems to result in an extremely light and controllable recoil that allows for very quick target reacquisition and fast follow-up shots. So, how does the FNH FHX-9 shoot? Once again, as with the FNX-45, the barrel and slide remain locked for far longer travel distance than with any other semi-automatic handguns I’ve handled. That’s too bad for the EPPD, because in my view the FNX is far superior to the Glock in every respect. Subsequently, the previous owner traded it in on a Glock. Apparently the previous owner only ran a couple of magazines’ worth of 9mm ammunition through it before he discovered that the FNX wasn’t on the El Paso Police Department’s list of approved duty weapons. So, imagine my delight when my local favorite gun store - Collector’s Gun Exchange owned by my good friend Paul Lee - had a slightly used FNH FNX-9 on sale for about $150 below typical new prices. If you’re a rancher located two hours or more from the nearest sheriff substation, these are the two weapons you want guarding the ol’ homestead against any potential two-legged predators. The FNX-45 is, quite simply, a near-perfect home defense weapon especially when combined with a Beretta CX4 9mm Carbine. In the past year alone that review has garnered nearly 5,600 hits, second only to my review of the classic Walther PP chambered in. And I suspect I’m not the only one, as my review of the FNX-45 is one of my most frequently searched for and read blog posts. One of my favorite modern weapons is the FNH FNX-45. ![]() ![]() ![]() iPad Pro 12.iPad (6th, 7th, 8th, 9th generations released in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 - you'll need a separate charging adapter with the 10th generation released in 2022, since it now has a USB-C port).The original Apple Pencil, which charges using a Lightning connector, works with these iPads: You'll need a specific Apple Pencil for your iPad.

The enemies, here, are those who hate those who love Christ. He will judge those who are praised by the world because they say what the world wants to hear (Luke 6:22, 26). This passage comes after an explanation that God will bless those who suffer because they follow Christ. ![]() Because of Jesus' sacrifice, God promises if we do love our enemies He will give us great reward, not least of which is being called His children (Luke 6:35).Ĭontext is important, however. It is Jesus who died for the world while we were His enemies (Romans 5:10). This is only possible, in an emotionally healthy way, if our focus is not on our enemy but on our God and His promises. It makes no human sense to work toward the best for someone who actively wants to cause hardship. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. Jesus-followers will act for the benefit of others, even those who mean harm (Luke 6:22). But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Sinful people will speak for the benefit of other sinful people who provide them with worldly advantage. "Good" is from the same root word as "well" in Luke 6:26. Likewise, "good" means to act for the advantage of another. "Love" is from agape and means to seek someone else's welfare, even if to do so requires a sacrifice. An "enemy" is someone who does not like you and wants to harm you. Understanding the various terms in context is helpful. Jesus will escalate the difficulty of His command in the following verses.This is one of the most difficult and counter-cultural commands in the Bible. Offering prayers to God for people who are actively hurting you, especially for being associated with Christ, requires looking at the world in a completely different way. This kind of love is meant to be expressed in action. This is not described as emotional love, or affection. This is hard enough to grasp today, but at the time the words were first spoken they would have been shocking.Ĭhrist does nothing to take the edge off this command, either. Worse, He equated this with the righteous living needed to enter the kingdom of heaven. The Jewish people understandably viewed Rome as their enemy.Īnd yet, a man thought by many to be the Messiah, the Savior who was supposed to free Israel from her enemies, has just commanded His disciples to love and pray for their enemies. The Roman tax burden left many people in near poverty. ![]() Roman soldiers enjoyed privileges and took liberties with Jewish citizens under their thumb. Dissent beyond the established limits was savagely punished. That said, Rome ruled over conquered nations absolutely and severely. Israel continued to function as Israel in many ways, and they experienced a form of peace under Roman rule. Rome typically did not destroy those they conquered-rather, they allowed relative freedom with a set of conditions. On one hand, becoming part of the Roman empire brought benefits. That makes it easy to forget how radical the claim was, especially for those who live with daily threats from dire enemies, as did the first-century Israelites. Many modern people have heard this teaching, or variations on it, all our lives. Though few people live this out, in a meaningful way, the idea is deeply ingrained in western culture. Pride and selfishness are the opposite of Christian love, so its obvious they. Instead of only acting in love towards neighbors, Jesus tells His disciples to love their enemies and even to pray for those who persecute them.

Jesus again declares that God's intent for the righteousness of His people goes beyond selfishness and legalism. However, it seems that the religious leaders were also teaching that it was permissible-possibly even mandatory-to hate one's enemies (Matthew 5:43). God's Word does, indeed, command us to love our neighbor as our self (Leviticus 19:18). His listeners had grown up under a partly correct teaching. Jesus' long list of reversals in chapter 5 concludes with this one. Matt.5 Verses 43 to 47 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. ![]() ![]() ![]() In a one-QB league, there is no need to draft a rookie QB who looks to be a bench warmer for at least a few games while the veteran shows them the way. Also, do not ignore rookie QBs in Superflex leagues. Hopefully, you will never have to start the likes of Mac Jones or Baker Mayfield, but you feel a lot more comfortable in your team with them sitting on your bench. This pick will feel gross, and that’s ok. If you do, in fact, choose to wait to draft that second QB, you would have had the ability to grab the likes of Saquon Barkley, Ja’Marr Chase, or CeeDee Lamb, depending on your draft position.Īfter you have your two starting QBs in your Superflex league, do not forget to go after a backup – someone there to start during a bye week or if one of your starting QBs goes down. Want to know what your options might be if you wait on that second QB? The chart below shows the ADP for RBs and WRs in two-QB leagues in 2022. Identifying possible upside in later-round QBs during your draft prep allows you to somewhat confidently wait to draft your second QB while earning dividends in the way of a more elite pass catcher or RB. This is where your research will set you apart from your league mates. You can capitalize on other positions if you wait on QB for a few rounds. My friends, this is a dangerous dance – your second QB might be outside the top 15, but it can prove fruitful if you have a little luck. You then circle back to grab a second QB. Option 2ĭraft your main QB in the first round, then take advantage of other managers picking up QBs to load up on other position players. In a Superflex league, he was gone at the beginning of the fourth. The data below is from 2022, and it shows just how much more valuable QBs become in Superflex.īack to the Captain Kirk reference – in a one-QB league, you were able to draft him at the end of the ninth round in 2022. Remember, two-QB leagues require you two start two QBs, whereas a Superflex league gives you the option to do so. To illustrate just how early this personal tier break might fall, let’s look at QB ADP data between one-QB leagues and two-QB leagues, taken from Fantasy Football Calculator. The bottom drops out pretty quickly at this position. I don’t know about you, but if I miss out on the top 24 QBs, I do NOT want to start the QBs that are left. If every manager wants to start two QBs, that’s 24 off the board immediately. With the most common 12-team league being what fantasy managers play in, it isn’t challenging to do the math. As a manager, you will have to decide where your QB line falls and where your tier break is.Īt last count, there were 32 NFL teams, and therefore any given week, 32 starting QBs at the most. Whether or not you draft these two QBs in the first two rounds will be dictated by your league mates and your draft position. Your goal here is to get two QBs in the top 14. Leave your draft with two QBs drafted within the first three rounds. There simply are not enough players at the position. Look, no one is going to tell you to wait completely on a QB in Superflex, and this isn’t your momma’s redraft league where you can grab a Kirk Cousins in the later rounds and stream the rest of the season. Since QBs are valued so highly, the two main draft strategies center around them. Let’s break some of these approaches down. Managing a team with the possibility of starting two QBs in any given week introduces a new level of strategy for managers, and the greater value of QBs leads to more diverse draft approaches than those used in one-QB leagues. Other differences might exist – I have seen Superflex leagues with TE premium (TE scoring is worth more) and different numbers of designated WR and RB spots, so before your draft, always familiarize yourself with the league rules and scoring. It is not required to start a second QB – you can still start a WR, RB, or TE in that spot just as you would do in a traditional redraft league, but traditionally QBs are the highest-scoring position, so it makes sense to start one in the Superflex spot. In a Superflex league, the most significant difference is adding a “SFLEX” spot and thus allowing managers to start a second QB alongside the regular positions in their lineup. In a traditional redraft league, the roster typically consists of a set number of starting positions for each position group, such as QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs, a flex spot that can house an RB, WR, or TE, a kicker, and a DEF. ![]() If you are just starting to spread your wings in the Superflex space or are experienced in the area, draft strategies differ for this type of league from your traditional redraft.īefore discussing Superflex draft strategies, we must differentiate between traditional redraft fantasy and Superflex leagues. The rejoicing was palpable across the fantasy community. ![]() This season Andy, Mike, and Jason finally gave in to all the pressure and added Superflex rankings to The Fantasy Footballers website. ![]() ![]() ![]() When on, it will automatically target tiles depending on the tool selected, to semi-automate tasks such as tunneling and building.
