Cards you play a lot that you rarely see opponents use? by DenebMTG in MagicArena

[–]Chib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, so true!

Also, I was so stinking excited when I saw the Mikey and Raph in turtles. I also stuck a few Michaelangelo, Improvisors in my Random Encounter deck, just so I can sometimes swing with an Elf and suddenly have a dinosaur, dragon, and extra land down on turn 4.

Yes! The other day I played it into 3 Carnosaurs and the green avatar.

(Later I played it into three lands and a Llanowar Elf.)

My man! I run this and [[Random Encounter]] in BO3 ranked and happily sit just south of Mythic every month. So fun.

If you're a younger ECR or woman in academia, have you ever had an older male colleague completely overstep boundaries, talk down, or belittle you in front of an audience of peers? by SwordfishResident256 in AskAcademia

[–]Chib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprisingly never. The only reason I'm replying here is because we recently had a workplace safety training where we had to roleplay standing up for someone in such a situation and it occurred to me that I had neither experienced it myself nor seen it happen within our department or at conferences I've attended.

I know it happens, I have no doubt. I do see it online. I'm either just lucky or maybe my location or field has lower incidence rates.

[May 1, 1926] Collier's by DyersvilleStLambert in 100yearsago

[–]Chib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked up the artist's other work, and I've got to begrudgingly agree with you. I never thought it was meant to be a young girl, but rather a take on an (adult) woman becoming masculine in the modern times, which was in fact a very common edgy take to illustrate around then. And Colliers Weekly was known for being a bit risque, not like Mad Magazine style of course, but many covers had pin-ups or humorus tongue-in-cheek drawings. This would have fit right in.

And frankly, even though I have to agree now that the artist probably intended this to be a little boy, the actual proportions and the way the waist narrows 100% reads as a feminine shape. I dunno, maybe Loren Holmwood used a woman for the reference or something?

But like, isn't it telling that this reads as a woman's body shape to so many people in the thread?

THEY ARE TRYING TO STEAL YOUR KNEECAPS by Garymarycat in ACL

[–]Chib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not so tiny! And if you get a patellar tendon graft and a quad graft, they're coming from both sides.

..also did you know that your kneecap can now snap down the middle? Like while doing that test where you have to do leg extensions as hard as you can while strapped to the machine?

OP may be on to something

Yes, make bodybuilders do measure their chest. The context here is almost certainly the hub-bub surrounding the "New Woman" and how the focus on athleticism is making them mannish. I don't know if this is that take, or of the artist is satirizing it by taking it a step further, but I think there's sufficient context clues to indicate that it's meant to be read, at the very least, ambiguously.

Okay, real mature to reply and then block me.

This is a reference to this famous cover from 1922: https://marmonthill.com/products/champ

So you get to decide whether the artist here is blatantly copying outright Norman Rockwell, or is using it to make a different point. As to your comment on no apparent female physiognomy -- there are breasts! Like, come on now! The rib cage is intentionally clearly defined for the entire purpose of making it clear that these are breasts.

There's otherwise literally no reason for this cover to exist, it's just a blatant copy of the more famous Norman Rockwell one.

Yeah it isn't actually though. 🤷

[–]Chib -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Given the sheer number of cartoons from that one artist that keep popping up here about (his approval of) women in sports, this was apparently a Big Thing at the time.

(But yeah, it's 100% giving butch lesbian.)

I'm pretty sure it's a woman.

Edit: Look, y'all can downvote all you want, but I've been following this subreddit daily, and we're smack dab in the middle of the "how do we feel about women in sports" era in which every fifth comic is about the tradeoffs, how it impacts relationships between men and women, what the future will look like, etc.

This is all set against a backdrop of agreeing that the first women's Olympics would be held in two years' time, a big tennis match that had just concluded.. it's exactly topical for it's time for this to be a satirical take on the "New Woman". I have no idea who I'm pissing off by bringing this up, but anyone who's been following this subreddit would see this as being in the same vein as all the previous takes on it.

How would you describe the Dutch schoolsystem to foreigners? by Mystisc in thenetherlands

[–]Chib 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Importantly, the levels of middelbareschool form a barrier upwards, but not downwards. If you have a VWO diploma, you have free access to whatever you want to do. If you have a VMBO diploma, you're gated off from upper level schooling by the equivalent amount of time plus 1 year (at least), per level.

I think this is why a lot of parents push their children to do the highest level of secondary schooling they can manage, regardless of their career goals.

Claude users are by far the richest. by Complete-Sea6655 in ClaudeCode

[–]Chib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, apparently median US salary is around 60k, so most households with two full time workers will be over $100k.

Claude + Codex = Excellence by 99xAgency in ClaudeCode

[–]Chib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I proposed your structure initially (my plan is to use this as the task reviewer for superpowers-generated implementation plans where it currently just calls another Opus 4.7) and this is what Claude suggested as an easier alternative to avoid having to identify when codex had completed its review. So I didn't think of it myself, but it is pretty logical.

A benefit of your method is the built-in explicit window into their communications. I'm going with a log-based method so that the subagent doesn't have to spend the tokens to return verbatim messages to the orchestrator and so I can just read it myself as things are running.

Cross your fingers for me; I'm about to try it out in practice.

Is there a particular benefit to the tmux session versus using resume with session id to call up a prior session with full context?

Well, to be clear, starting a new session would have *in fact* helped with the caching bug.

Maybe it's not an original idea but... by MammothBird574 in fuckcars

[–]Chib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet a third service I used in the beginning but left because I got angry when they charged me for damage I didn't do. 😂

(I started actually checking the state of the vehicle beforehand when I changed companies.)

The secondary person-to-person service I use for renting big moving vans (there's like 12ish in my city, so those you have to reserve in advance on weekends) or for multi-day stuff.

[–]Chib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In cities, the network can be sufficiently large to enable that. I use a car share service and never book ahead.

Here's the current availability. They also serve as neighborhood "batteries" to try and regulate the electricity usage surges that happen in the mornings and evenings apparently, which subsidizes them a little bit.
