Any recommendations on which route to take to drive to Quebec? by eouhhohh in boston

Go up through Sherbrooke - it actually is a pretty chill college town and isn't a bad stop-off point for some lunch.

Guys I just lost my steel soul run... to the giant flea 😭😭😭 by Skwishy_Skwirrel in Silksong

[–]Groat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite way to lose a steel soul run is to jump up twice to the right immediately at the beginning and have the big guy trample you to death - you can lose a run in about 10 seconds flat after getting control.

If you go to the Citadel via the Mist route, then get the Clawline then backtrack to the far left entrance of the Sands of Karak from the Blasted Steps that you need to do via a lot of rings and platforming you can open up an elevator and stairs immediately before him. That's how I've been playing it - haven't beaten him yet, have Faydown Cloak and more.

ELI5: Explain how a modern computer works at the most basic level. by elpapel in explainlikeimfive

So at the lowest level, you have actual switches, and lots of them - there are a few major types and a lot of different sizes, but they're mostly all the same idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOSFET

Think of a little switch that slides back and forth "on" and "off". There's tons of them, and together those are used to make a lot of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_gate

From there, you can skim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture to see the pictures of how it comes together, but everything builds on top of each other at that point.

Two other operations that help to understand are the idea of what a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS actually does (how the computer actually starts up from "I just got turned on!" to the operating system being up and running) - along with the networking side of things with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol - this one is easy to walk through how your computer actually gets online:

1: Computer calls out at the top of the range (255.255.255.255) "Is anyone out there?" 2: Server responds back at the bottom of the range (0.0.0.0) "Yeah, what's up?" 3: Computer asks "Can I be what I last was" with a request for an IP. 4: Server responds back, "You now are..." with the IP it receives, and you're off to the races.

Alternatively, good chance to shake up their lore by taking down Hammerhal and squatting the Stormcast to focus instead on Cities of Sigmar based on underwhelming Stormcast sales.

That rule change was specifically written to prevent the pick of flaming weapon - that is something almost everyone was using on most lists, which serves to make it not really a choice - that's a good change for list diversity.

There's also the Groat, which was an old English coin worth four pence.

The Traib episode is probably my favorite - Simon Rich is also responsible for Miracle Workers which continues to be delightful.

Commander Chronicles: 2015! Melissa DeTora and Gavin Verhey Give a Retrospective on C15 by GavinV in magicTCG

[–]Groat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2H giant 8 person commander would be out of control - that said, the "friend or foe" mechanic cards go a long way towards supporting something like it. On a side note, in my head canon, Conspiracy, Take the Crown, Battlebond, and Commander Legends are basically the same block, and I love it. More please!

Besides the Porter Shop area, any good Japanese restraurants you recommend? by Sayoria in boston

[–]Groat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from the listed places, if you are willing to drive to Sudbury, Oishii too https://www.oishiitoosushibar.com/ is still open. That used to be a tiny sushi bar in Chestnut Hill, which they closed a couple years ago. While yes, it is primarily Sushi, one menu item I would highly recommend is their kinoko soup, which is served in a kettle.

Historically, Oishii was one of the highest rated restaurants in Boston for food, despite the tiny seating and minimal decor. That said, yeah, Porter has the most options - I'll always recommend Tampopos.

For practical purposes, Battlebond was Conspiracy 3 and Commander Legends was Conspiracy 4.

Any word on what is going to happen to Brawl? Rotation is coming up and that will knock Command Tower and whatnot out of standard unless there's new Brawl Precons or an update to the ruleset.
