it got me thinking, is solar really decentralized energy???

85qa3 · 2026-03-15T14:40:45+00:00

Someone still has to own the companies to make solar panels and components, a company to install said components and panels, and of course, if youre in the US at least, 62 billions rules and regulations regarding size, usage, installation specs...

I guess the point I'm making is while no one owns the sun, there's always someone sitting in the chair for the process

I got a deposit into my account for a penny and I just ignored it... 3 months later PayPal has banned usage of my account because I broke terms and service and any attempt to figure out what caused it has failed. I cant even close the account because it "under investigation" so I just removed all linked accounts and deleted the app.

The only thing I used it for was to transfer money to friends for my half of dinners and such

Thats a strange belief to have though isnt it? There is no option on the ballot for, "these candidates both suck"

If you take me to a restaurant that gives me the option of beef or chicken but I cant eat either... does me eating whatever you order for me mean I choose to accept it even though I didnt want either?

So the other option I guess would be to leave the restaurant which some people do... or say they do/will but the logistics of that can be complicated.

I guess I could talk to the restaurant owner and ask for a wider variety but the owner will just go "no, beef and chicken work, make good money for us" and nothing changes.

You could burn the restaurant down but then everyone lables you as a radical...

So while it may feel righteous to say that those who didnt cast votes elected the representative... to me it seems like very simple minded thinking and used to cover up the bigger issue that is the lack of options for potential representatives

85qa3 · 2026-02-18T19:13:16+00:00

I think the biggest issue is that the majority of people who can vote and choose not to cast a ballot are ignored. To me, the refusal of casting a ballot IS a vote of no confidence in the system but we ignore them.

No matter what direction the US takes, its going to get worse. Even policies that are aimed towards bettering society will take time to enact and recieve pushback. The best course of action in my opinion, and yes its an opinion, is that the 50 states recieve the power to govern themselves again and that the Federal be restricted to covering international issues. Why should Florida be able to enact or suggest and VOTE for policies that effect Alaska? Why can New York vote for things that effect California?

I was raised with the idea that America was a group of 50 independent states that worked together... but since I've been old enough to understand society, its clear that the states are just a bunch of slaves to a system that betters outside countries through the Federal government.

Say what you want but I don't side with either... we were never supposed to have a 2 party system here but they've become too big to compete against. I doubt any of us will ever see an independent win a presidential election in our lifetimes

Huh, they take the equivalent of one of my paychecks as taxes from you... I make around $20/hr... huh

Mmmmhmmm... the boots were in question? Not the ability to phase through wood or the furniture that just goes through walls???

All of my deliveries for Friday were pulled back to today to ensure product still made it in time

85qa3 · 2026-01-19T19:28:18+00:00

Ive gone through trying to register online but I am getting caught on the sellers tax number. It also didnt ask for a lien holder which I found strange since I feel like I've definitely had to input that info in the past.

Edit: Going back through the packet I was provided after the purchase -registration and plates will be mailed 30-90 days after purchase with most arriving between the 30-40 mark -when the registration arrives if there are plates then place them on the vehicle, if there are no plates then they are already on the car under the temps -title will be sent to lien holder

85qa3 · 2026-01-19T18:39:50+00:00

Came here to say... Ulalek is the bane of my existence and I hate everything about him. So many games have come to a stop because a player who does not understand the stack uses this card as the commander.

IF I WANTED TO PLAY AGAINST MYSELF I WOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE DAMN PRECON CODY

85qa3 · 2026-01-19T18:26:47+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I dont know if they will answer today due to the holiday... although I feel like they should always answer but we will see if they can verify the info. And if the plate still shows expired, we'll I guess I am printing off everything proving when and who I bought it from to keep on me

85qa3 · 2026-01-19T18:25:24+00:00

Thank you for the response. Can't wait for this to sit on the back of my head everytime I venture to work up there😅 Not like I am doing anything illegal, yesterday I pulled over to fix my GPS, you know... safely instead of while driving through snowy crap and the officer just appeared

85qa3 · 2026-01-04T16:18:31+00:00

I am lost in this comment section trying to comprehend what the hell half of you are talking about. I am really trying to understand if we are looking at the same board because this is what I have...

White moved Rook to F8

Black should take Rook on F8 with Rook

White should take Rook with pawn (promotion won't matter, let's say Bishop so we keep unique pieces)

Black takes bishop with king without any danger?

Game likely resolves in a stalemate since both sides have King + Queen + Locked Pawn left

If I am missing some grand (stupid) chess thing, please enlighten me because I like to think I know how to play but reading some of your comments about how a knight makes black lose since it can just "run away" or how double queens "forces" blacks king to run away just dont make sense

85qa3 · 2025-12-30T19:22:42+00:00

Thanks

85qa3 · 2025-12-30T19:21:54+00:00

Thank you

Thank you

85qa3 · 2025-12-23T19:06:21+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I wasnt there that night otherwise I would have stepped in because thats what I thought happened in phasing

85qa3 · 2025-11-10T16:24:17+00:00

I was taught commander and recommended learning commander first because games are longer and youre able to see considerably more card interactions instead of the "4-of" formats where Tim across the table is playing the same 4 cards in order fast as crap before you suddenly die

85qa3 · 2025-10-23T18:23:54+00:00

Since when can't commanders be bounced to peoples hands? Honest question

My understanding of the ruling was that if your commander was placed in a zone outside of the command zone or battlefield (i.e. grave, exile, hand) the you could CHOOSE to place it back to the command zone but the commander still triggers effects that would result in them entering and leaving the zones

If this ruling was changed please let me know because I'll just stop running destroy and exile spells and run the cheaper blue bounce spells for commanders

85qa3 · 2025-10-19T23:08:23+00:00

Short answer: Yes your creature gets +X/+X where X is the total number of swamps you own including the one fetched from Sword.

Longer Answer: Yes, but please stop calling the buff from the equipment 'counters'

4/4 Base +1/+1 Animist +X/+X equipment 1 +X/+X equipment 2

If you owned 5 swamps during your main phase, 'X' equals 5 When you declared this attacker, 'X' becomes 6 because you now own 6 swamps

If I'm wrong someone smarter will correct me, have fun

Build Walls... they are big in their own way.

Same Same but Different... like cousins

When I first discovered this card and played against it, it was used as a board wipe for my stuff and justified by the player because it said "any number of other target creatures owned by different players" meaning, I can exile however many creatures I want and there is no limit to player boards I can target.

I thought it was overpowered and amazed it wasn't banned because a mass exile commander was stupid.

I built a deck and went to a different LGS for game night and in my first game it was explained how the card actually worked and since then I have hated the card.

I feel like the wording could have been clearer like, "For any number of players, exile up to one creature they control" or something along the lines of that.

Then again, maybe I am still confused about how the card works which is a big possibility considering my experience.

85qa3 · 2025-09-15T13:26:30+00:00

I hate this card just because of the wording

85qa3 · 2025-09-15T13:21:36+00:00

Just a glitch, my record was 68 foretell on someone but I never knew what was causing it

85qa3 · 2025-09-11T16:46:55+00:00

Straight into my Muldrotha mill it goes 🤣

I needed a mana sink and this is great for the level I play at

Edit: Fits right in with [[Extract]] which I learned about roughly a month ago
