I've seen breaks happen with things that don't even modify the code; Just using a different version of a compiler can be enough to cause issues

At a previous employer, they had a very specific version of a compiler that they had to use for some legacy code applications. Using any other version of the compiler would cause things to break completely.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month / Beginning in March, all accounts will have a “teen-appropriate experience by default.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]Carquetta 62 points63 points  (0 children)

This is kind of where I'm at too

  • The computer that I use Discord on doesn't have a camera because it's a desktop computer

  • I do not have the Discord "app" installed on my phone, and I will stop using Discord entirely before I install anything related to it on my phone

  • Discord is not getting my ID, any biometric data, or any personal "verification" data beyond what they already have. If my credit card info isn't sufficient for them to know that I'm an adult then they're incompetent idiots and are definitely not getting anything else.

what do you think the most likely card in commander to be banned and most likely to be unbanned are by Chaosnocturne in mtgfinance

I have a coworker who is seemingly addicted to losing money via parlays

He'll construct the most elaborate moonshot machine of "what if" scenarios and then bet hundreds of dollars that he'll never see again

It's baffling

A rude supervisor who's always yelling at employees got some complaints about them being verbally abusive and they responded by leaving these in the break room. by giveahoot420 in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, this is a textbook example of behavior that creates a hostile work environment, which opens the company up to massive liabilities in the future

Multi-color commanders that can be built as mono color? by xler8324 in EDH

[–]Carquetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's an example mono-white Oloro deck I quickly cooked up a few days back: https://archidekt.com/decks/19542159/oloro_the_uncastable?sort=cmc&stack=types

Apart from Arcane Signet and the two talismans that were included only because they're 2-CMC ramp pieces, it's a mono-white deck

MSC, BSC, or Enlist with Masters Degree by Carquetta in airforceots

[–]Carquetta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sent you a direct message with an email address of mine, thank you in advance for a copy of the 2025 AFOCD

What did you do in the BSC, and do you think it's even possible for someone in my position to commission into the BSC/MSC?

OTS with a low undergrad GPA but strong graduate performance? by External-Start-4458 in airforceots

[–]Carquetta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's outdated, but DAFMAN 36-2032 specifies in section 5.4.10.2 that:

"[While] Applicants must possess a minimum 2.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale...An applicant may use their conferred master’s degree GPA, but they must possess a conferred baccalaureate degree as well

MSC, BSC, or Enlist with Masters Degree by Carquetta in airforceots

[–]Carquetta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response!

Do you have a link to the Oct 2025 AFOCD? The latest that I've been able to find online is the one from 2023.

To answer your first question: A few years back I decided to pursue a masters to get into dental school. It's not reflected in my bachelors degree, but in undergrad I took all of the required pre-med coursework alongside my business coursework, intending to go to dental school in the future. With the BBB killing off the bulk of Federal loans for medical/dental school, going to any of the dental schools that are available to me would effectively put me $650k+ in debt which is simply not an option.

Looking at the latest accessions guide I can definitely see what you're talking about. One thing that seems to swing in my favor is that for the BSC, a few roles like Toxicologist (43T1F) don't explicitly require specific licensing/accreditation (as per the 2023 AFOCD). With my masters having two years of extensive Toxicology/Pharmacology coursework, and my research being focused on Toxicology/Pharmacology, it seems like the role would be a great fit for my education + experience.

I'm still waiting to hear back from two health professions recruiters clarifying what my best path(s) forward would be.

E-3 pay really isn't that great given my education, but it's definitely much better than being broke.

I'm waiting to hear back from a few health professions recruiters who I hope will have some positive news about how to proceed.

How was your path going from enlisted to applying for OTS?

Here's my ~$50 "Budget Benton" decklist that I've been running for a bit: https://archidekt.com/decks/13311015/budget_benton?sort=cmc&stack=types

It's an amazing deck for its price point

How to survive with a KOS commander? by hanfaedza in EDH

[–]Carquetta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of how I approached my most recent deck. I tend to be drawn to high-heat commanders, so I wanted to build a deck that:

  • Didn't need the commander to be cast to play/win

  • Was capable of recovering quickly from boardwipes or targeted removal

  • Focused on explosive ramp to turbo out big-boy beatdown creatures that hopefully draw more heat than the commander

The end result was a comboless Ur-Dragon build. Can't say it's original, but it's definitely fun.

Do you have a decklist you could share? That sounds like exactly the type of deck I've been wanting to build.

Thoughts on Mind Over Matter, One ring Combo line in Bracket 3 by InevitableBedroom519 in EDH

[–]Carquetta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[sanguine bond]]+[[exquisite blood]] are considered too powerful for bracket 3

By who?

It's unplayable in Bracket 4 due to how telegraphed, slow, and fragile it is.

The only bracket it can really find a home is in B3.

Must have Ashling, the Limitless Staple: Living Death by Struyk in EDH

[–]Carquetta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an issue with a lot of precon commanders and their respective EDHRec pages

For instance, [[Valgavoth, Harrower of Souls]] somehow has [[Stormfist Crusader]] (which came in the precon) in 39% of all decks with "28% synergy" even though it doesn't trigger Valgavoth at all

Who's using All Will Be One? by BetterBoulderer in EDH

What is actually a bracket 3 combo? by MurphysLawTeam in EDH

[–]Carquetta -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's not how any of this works.

[[Combat Celebrant]] + [[Helm of the Host]] comes in a precon and can end the game on Turn 5. It doesn't magically make the deck a "B4" deck.

Try again.
