As someone who could have had ~1000000 Rhystic Studies back in the day, I just hate the play pattern so want it gone. Don't think Jeweled Lotus should be ubiquitous but some decks having TWO whole artifact fast mana probably isn't the end of the world.

I feel for the people where the price matters ...

Massive drama in Magic: The Gathering world today:

Not exactly a board game, but Balatro comes to iOS 9/26. It's like magical poker, but really sweet.

Games I've liked recently: Distilled - Make alcohol, not a ton of player interaction, but combines sweet mechanics and good themes.

I really want to like that site, and have supported it before. The writers are good, but it doesn't feel like any of them break down X's/O's matchups like Zach Lowe or Nekias Duncan (The Dunkerspot podcast, it's great, he also writes freelance). Yes specifically about basketball, but I didn't really ...

I've used Keep for a very long time and it does the exactly what I need it to, OS agnostic notes available anywhere with reminders.

I flew down to San Diego to buy a 911 because at the time they were ~5-10k cheaper in Southern CA than in WA. I wouldn't go that far for a normal car.

Did you purchase it beforehand or just show up for a test drive pretending to be nonchalant like you hadn’t just flown 1k miles?

There are other more deserving players than CC to make the olympic team. As a guard at a minimum Arike Ogunbowale over Ariel Atkins.

The women's basketball team is 70-3 since 1984. They need additional time to practice together, not to add a rookie (who with rest and some better non-Aliyah Boston ...

Car brokers make a lot of sense when you want to buy old, very fancy cars, that generally speaking only rich white people know who actually has them. Vetting the history of those cars is orders of magnitude more important.

For regular cars...I don't get it. I HATE haggling but now that car prices ...

Also full self driving will absolutely kill you/your family, and your neighbors, so if you are stupid enough to use that shit you deserve what's coming to you.

To be fair, so will human drivers.

To equivocate the two would be to say it's acceptable for 16 year olds blitzed out of their ...

A hybrid car will still likely run into issues…

What’s your evidence on this?

My wife drives a 2010 Hybrid Ford Escape that we bought new. I drive a 2015 Hybrid Ford Fusion that I got new. No significant issues with either vehicle.

I was referring to plugin hybrids, which, while the title ...

So my daughter who is working her first "real" job at Wayfair has been saddled with a shitty manager. She's super micro-managing, doesn't communicate clearly, and not big on positive feedback. She's also remote, and this is the first time she's managed people. Daughter has been thrown into the ...

If you replace cars reasonably often, have a place to charge, and won't ever really stress the range then an electric car is fine. My sister has a Tesla in Hawaii with a house to charge it at and garage to keep it in, that seems perfectly fine.

My issue is that most people usually keep their cars ...

Shogun, Fallout, X-Men 97 are all excellent.

Agree, Agree, and what is X-Men 97?

X-Men 97 is a continuation of the old X-Men cartoon from the 90's. You absolutely do not need to see the previous cartoon to enjoy it. Though huge lore dorks probably should. The whole season is out now but it ...

Shogun is starting strong. I have reservations about the lead, but everyone else is good.

I liked the first few episodes of The Gentlemen, though it is definitely a tier below Shogun.

Another one for horseradish, I gotta be in the mood for it, and it almost always should go with corned or roast beef.

Beaver brand mustard does a horseradish cream that is definitely milder, absolutely recommend for anyone wants something mayo like and you know, not mayo. (more calories than ...

I cannot stand stugotz or most of the main show regulars. Lebatard himself is fine now that he's getting past his mental stuff a little bit. Will watch PTFO if certain people are on. Sarah Spain not on the ESPN leash is pretty funny. Katie Nolan and Mina Kimes obviously kill.

Lost almost 20 lbs. so far. Fell off the wagon for lunch today, but as it turns out (heavy /s here) 1) eating like a complete asshole is bad for you. 2) Sugar is in...a lot of things (lets not talk about salt either but that's a separate problem) 3) vegetables have fewer calories than say...french ...

Mosaic is a pretty fun Civ style game that plays pretty quickly after you set it up. Definitely recommend.

My freshman dorm floor always hung out together. 20 of us would go down to the common room in the basement of our tower and play ping pong or watch something on TV. We must have watched the Dana Carvey stand up on Comedy Central 50 times. Anyone remember his bit about his little kid's action ...

TLDR: Index funds good, high expense ratios bad. All of this can be learned from a variety of books such as coffeehouse investor or Boggleheads, google either, coffeehouse might be free at this point it's been around so long.

Down 10 lbs or as I like to call it, the "stop eating like an asshole" bump. I have to give up my precious diet monsters.

If people cooked steak and chicken as badly as they cook broccoli and brusselsprouts, we'd be vegetarian. Had this thought this morning, felt like the only right place to put it.

I wouldn't feel too bad. I don't follow Woj or Shams because I follow enough people who will rt them when something major happens. I realize it's not quite the same, but might find a similar/smaller account that retweets similar things without the follow.

I really need to try a Seattle dog to see if it's all that, but I do like grilled onions/peppers.

There is a large thick line to me between "we should argue over some policy about how best to manage things X, Y, and Z" and "I don't believe a % of the population are actually human, and I'd prefer ...

Not to get back on track, but fuck America. A mile of guillotines with a mile long lines wouldn't be enough.

Also mustard, relish and onions do a lot of heavy lifting.

Not a huge surprise, Green back to GSW for 100mil w/player option last year. given the CP trade, seemed pretty likely.
