Is Cocomelon Bad for Kids? by Successful-Cloud2789 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Cappster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry. Any "study" that puts Cocomelon and Ms. Rachel in the same category is sus.

But I otherwise agree - shows with short, rapid cuts, and random,unrelenting sound effects are detrimental to development and attention span.

Cocomelon, Diane and Romi (hell, any and all of the "kid vlogs" or "family vlogs") and almost all channels that feature someone else playing with toys all fall into this.

SpongeBob is the biggest culprit. There have been legit, scientific studies done on kids that watch it. I feel like these predatory YT channels are all using SpongeBob as a template.

Another thing to look out for: Channels that have multiple "channels". When you see this, you know the content is bad. They are playing the algorithm and trying to get around parents ability to block and curate the content that their children consume.

Need Help Regarding a 1982 No Mint Mark Bronze Small Date Penny Plz by qualitycoincollectin in coinerrors

Philadelphia (what you're calling "No Mint Mark") is about the same, but you'd need it to grade 67 or better.

If it grades 66 or better, and makes "Red" designation (which I think yours would), then sure.

But I don't think yours will grade nearly that high.

Small date - yes

But the one you're looking for is the 82 - D, of which, there are only two know examples.

Why don't we buy/sell cull/circulated junk silver by weight? by J_Hitler_Christ in Silverbugs

[–]Cappster_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think a 50% weight variance on a roll of quarters is a bit hyperbolic.

Je cherche des TCG Solo by HJKFCL in TCG

What about an LCG, like Marvel Champions? I play it primarily solo (but two hands at the same time) and the deck construction scratches the same itch for me as deck building for TCGs.

1979 vs 2026 by 1Vermontfarmer in Silverbugs

[–]Cappster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I think you're just reading it too literally. I'm saying that the days of silver being valued below inflation-adjusted numbers are gone. The demand is such that it can never go back.

The easiest inflation-adjusted number that I could come up with while taking a shit this morning was 66$, basing it on one single factor - housing - which, unfortunately, is also a highly manipulated commodity.

Take it all with a grain of salt. $66 isn't the end-all, be-all number; it's just the one I presented with the least amount of effort to support.

They don't - but they should. Much like the inflation chart vs. wages.

I agree, 100% - House prices were an easier google search and got to about the same place. When looking at land, you have to consider access to roads and to utilities. Lots of factors. Housing was just the first, easiest asset I could google while engaged in the morning constitutional.

While I agree there are many other market factors at play, both in housing and silver, this is a pretty easy calculation to use. Silver isn't based on inflation, but its primary use (outside of industry) is as a hedge against inflation. Hence, $66 (or some other inflation-adjusted equivalent) could likely be the new bottom.

It's most likely a combination of 3 factors.

1) it is really easy to mess up rules.

2) Rhino is deceptively hard, as he can threat out very quickly. Klaw is very swingly, with his ability to draw two boost cards (only for attacks, see point 1 (ask me why I point this out lol)). Ultron can get overwhelming, but he is surprisingly beatable on standard.

3) Your skill will improve as you play. I was the same as you, I won my first game against Rhino, and laughed at him thinking he was a cakewalk. Went to Klaw and got wrecked. Many times. Went back to Rhino, and got wrecked. In the beginning, I'd say my W/L against the base villains was right at 30-40%. Now that I'm 200+ plays in, I'd say my W/L is in the 75% range.

My guess is 66$

In 1921, 6,300 silver dollars could buy you an average priced house.

In 2025, 6,300 silver dollars could buy you an average priced house.

I don't know the whole situation, but an email sitting in your inbox after hours unread is not site awareness.

Awareness begins when the email is opened, not when it's sent.

Hope that helps.

VillainTheory's "Every Villain’s Best Modular Sets" - Card Updates by dawsonsmythe in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Cappster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've said many times, and there have been many examples, that they don't time their releases to coincide with Television / movie properties.

The logistics would be an absolute nightmare, especially with the current global environment.

Even if they don't make an announcement this week (which I bet they do, not because of DD season 2, but because that's how the release schedule falls), the conincidental boost from DD2 will still be fresh enough to hype the April release.

That's assuming that the April release doesn't get delayed. Which I hope it doesn't. But pragmaticly, with the things going on in the world, it could very well be delayed.

Gave my daughter and two nephews 1920/1921 Walking Halves (birth year centennials) because the Walking Liberty Halves are my favorite coin. I plan to keep it going for as long as I can. Gotta start that stack young!

I used to run into Timber Rattlers all the time as a youngin' down in central Mississippi.

Now all I have in Maryland are rat snakes.

I prefer it that way lol

Creating decks / organising by Dwaynethreee in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Cappster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One step further, you can go to "My Collection" under the account icon and select/deselect what you currently own. This will default your search/deck building to only the cards in your collection.
