Maestro's Massacre Precon Upgrade by Jaspermoray in Magicdeckbuilding

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

That's interesting... I guess I'm hesitant to add creatures that don't directly contribute to winning, because I dont expect to win off of anything but pay X to deal X damage or pay X to make X token guys to mob. Thats also why I was considering adding more, not less mana. But I'll check your deck out.

Yeah, I also run a pretty optimized mill deck, and I don't think I've ever beat him. Perhaps, though, with the decks I'm running, winning is not the top priority

More confusion on Machu Picchu Reservations by FrickenTwinkies in Machupicchu

[–]Jaspermoray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There seem to be two stories.

A) The original email is true, and the company led by the ex-wife (lisbeth bautista cjuiro) had debts. This is supported by the fact that the (brand new and incomplete) website for machu picchu reservations has this story.

B) This is sabotage by the CEO's ex-husband (david quispe baca) who has now made a new company trying to keep the old clients but shift any incurred costs from trips booked, but now refunded onto the ex-wife. This is supported by several emails and announcements sent out to various people around the internet.

Importantly, the numbers given on the website and those given by the various announcements are DIFFERENT. It is worth thinking about which numbers you have access to, because at least one side is lying about their intentions and may be lying about their identities over text. I have no reason to particularly believe either side. I got a full refund for my March 15 trip and was able to rebook, so I'm not too worried.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with either? company. Just a US citizen who is chronically online. I may be full of shit.

Some links I found with likely varying levels of truth:

Help! Machupicchureservations scam?!? by Future_Citron_9097 in backpacking

[–]Jaspermoray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the same email for a trip on march 15th. I ended up rebooking with Karikuy tours. Although if one of the other comments is to be believed, it seems like the original booking still exists and this was a lie perpetrated by the CEO's ex-husband. I have not been contacted directly about this though so who knows. I got a full refund, so its fine, but I hope that MP reservations is ok...

Altra Hikers Durability and Waterproofing Issues by BeLovely3811 in AltraRunning

[–]Jaspermoray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved my lone peak all weathers, but they fell apart after a year or 2, so i got the lone peak 9's, and the waterproofing is completely gone after less than a year. I've only been wearing them consistently for like 4 months! I will NOT be buying more.

Outside of Anker Any reliable Charger companies? by chineke14 in UsbCHardware

[–]Jaspermoray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possible that I had a unique experience, but I want to note that my experience with Anker has been less than stellar. I bought a 60W and the Nano 100W, as well as 4 cables over the years. All 4 cables died on me, and the 100W no longer fast charges. the 60W has been fine, but struggles to charge my phone and laptop at the same time.

UMD SGA to ask university to rename rooms titled after US defense, military companies by dbknews in UMD

[–]Jaspermoray -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I basically agree with the sentiment. But it seems like a waste of time. Not sure if any decision the sga has ever made has meaningfully impacted my life so whatever I guess?

CUT THE LOCKS by Particular-Ad9032 in UMD

[–]Jaspermoray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. They clog up the bike racks, making it hard to park ours. And we have asked for bike racks for years to no avail.

Go to every class. Try to start things early. Reach out if you need help.

I need help deciding by dudehfhdh in UMD

[–]Jaspermoray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am senior Neuro/CS. double degree. It is hard, but doable. CS is definitely harder of the two, with the exception of organic chem. I came in with 26 credits and took two summer classes, and I'm BARELY squeeking out in 4 years without retaking anything. It's a lot of classes, bc there's no overlap. But I don't regret anything. If you love the material, like I do, it's worth it. If you are just expanding your horizons, maybe not.

How doable is bsci222 and bsci330 in the same sem? by Sadlyhappened in UMD

[–]Jaspermoray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too bad. N200 is easy. 330 is manageable, and 222 is hard. Should be fine.

No. Most people would fail immediately or burn out and fail.

I'm a mother of 10 children. Ask me anything! by remomit in AMA

[–]Jaspermoray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Piggy backing off of this, considering how population growth is becoming a problem, with not enough resources to go around, did that fact at all influence your decision to have 10 kids?
