    I have a feeling from y'alls reactions that I'm even worse at FF than I thought I was, and Hubby and all his friends are just nice to me and tell me I just have bad luck. Very suspicious of the hubby and his FF friends.

    there is exactly one qb in the nfl with a positive spread value (i.e. vegas thinks it's more likely that his team will lose if he plays instead of the backup qb)

    Forgive me if you already know this, but you can put in the bonus amount you received to have the export/review calculate your effective hourly rate with that included. It makes the pay a bit more transparent. There's a field to the left (I think) of the time in the review window to add that info.

    This blows my mind considering his backup is some random college kid who was drafted because his daddy knew someone else's daddy? Like what, how do they math that out lol

    Also this may be why all his FF friends WANT me to play with them now that I have been enlightened to my super shit FF game. They know they can't lose.

    Asked Hubby about it and he looked like a deer in headlights. Busted. :emoji_joy::emoji_joy::emoji_joy: Oh well. He always wins them so I'm really just a placeholder.

    > "not even a disambiguation link to Wikipedia." ...?

    YMMV; FWIW, googling on my laptop, I get a Wikipedia disambiguation link after the first few results.

    Another example, if I search for "Rosetta Stone", the first few results are mainly about
    the company, but among them is also a Wikipedia link about the Rosetta Stone.

    Sure, search terms that are company names will get top results that are mostly about the companies.

    "Biased results"? Biased for business. C'est la vie dans notre monde du commerce.

    Biased for relevancy, not for business. More people searching those terms = higher ranking results. I know it's easy to just assume everything is malicious for hail corporate reasons, but I don't think it really is that bad.

    Also, DuckDuckGo isn't powered just by Bing. That's a disservice to a decent quality search provider.
