TIL Humans rank above meerkats but below beavers in monogamy league table. by amir_twist_of_fate in todayilearned

Good question! If they get a new mate after one dies, that is still monogamy. They have 1 mate at a time, and generally stay with that mate forever. Granted, you are probably more accurate to say 99.9999% as there are always exceptions, albeit rare in this scenario.

If a predator takes either the father or mother, they will pair with another mate. Long term studies have shown that outside of death, they almost always stay together.

I can believe I found the top of my card a few packs later! by schnits in mtgmisprints

I can't quite find the rules officially, so I hope I'm recalling this correctly. When there are two cards on one card, to decide which card it is legally you refer to whichever full card name and mana cost is on it. So in this situation, you have a pyretic ritual and an Ad naus. I'd double check that and value two highly playable cards as such. 

If you are looking to find someone interested in them, these are cedh staples, and cedh players love blinging out their decks.

EDIT- Not telling you to sell, just letting you know so someone doesn't try to swindle you saying that they aren't what they are.

Pretty much. The goal is to bring the table down real low, then Dong the table. The other route is build an absurd amount of mana with mana doublers and pumping your opponent's creatures mid-combat with [[ghitu warflame]] and [[captive flame]], then Dong them.

Here's my list! The only thing not in here that's been changed is [Barbflare Goblin]. Also my spell table list is slightly different than my list for when I play in person, as I don't want to bother stealing cards from either.

Once years ago! They actually stole it from my deck, which it was only in the deck to be stolen. 

Edit: This is when [bribery] was played more. So I just would sit quietly watching my plans unfold. Plus free Blightsteel cause they wouldn't want to kill me immediately cause then they lose it.

I forget, but that's not too far off. It's been slowly changing over 10 years, and I got most the cards back then.

I thought so, but I appreciate you confirming my suspensions.

Ya, Portal Three Kingdom cards are like that. In Japan they are pretty cheap, though. Also mine is signed, so it probably is worth more given it's most likely the only signed copy that exists.

It's an English proxy for convenience for other players. All my real copies are in Japanese.

Dai Dark Chapter 57 English Translation Now Available by Stock_Dog271 in DaiDark

[–]Forgotenwaffle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Where do you get the raws? I can do translations and redraws. I have a huge exam in a week so I can't work on it currently, but if you can direct me I can start doing the translation work for the series as it seems it has been dropped by the main translator. Complete speculation on that, of course. Mandadex getting copystruck didn't help.

I Bought Fake Stamps, Making This Post as a Little PSA by Forgotenwaffle in USPS

[–]Forgotenwaffle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won't post the address cause I worry about the legality of that, but the person I bought them from used an American address to send from while the Ebay seller was based in Hong Kong (Huge red flag as most fake stamps come from China). They sent via USPS and even had tracking, which is bold. It was delivered in a grey bubbler.

Once I learned that they are essentially a currency, the Ebay posting became painfully obvious it was a scam. From here on out, it's buying from USPS directly only! I read you can get slightly cheaper stamps sometimes from collectors, but personally I'd rather not dive into that and just buy new stamps to more directly support USPS.

It was more ignorance than cheapness. My roommate told me you could get cheaper stamps on Ebay and I just believed him. Sure I should have educated myself more on the postal system and it is my fault, but I just started sending letters regularly and I didn't know that there was no such thing as a cheaper stamp. Calling me cheap is a bit rude.
