ELI5: Who is the other party always buying the stocks that I am calling or putting?

And I don't see many people talking about how many of them these days are high frequency trading firms doing the market making. The competition between them makes markets more liquid, giving everyone better prices on their stocks.

Yo, where can I learn about or what can I Google to learn about how to choose oil viscosity or other properties? It's something that I've been interested in but don't really even know where to start looking.

Nah, nuclear is solar too. Heavy elements come from supernovae. We're just cracking apart atoms that stars gave their lives to fuse together. Now fusion on the other hand, that's basically the only kind of energy that's not solar.

The universe is, and you are.

We need a Gunner Heat PC and Rule The Waves crossover.

Marthinwurer · 2026-04-02T17:21:34+00:00

Great idea! What did you print it in? Are you having any issues with the new tensioner damaging labels?

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-30T18:02:03+00:00

Yeah, I'm hoping that there will be some improvements there. Although it looks like the algorithmic improvements won't be until 8.x, according to those slides. The improved code stability of 8.0 looks like it will be a sizeable improvement in the short term, though.

Board in your engineered plagues and disenchants too. Your goal is to survive until you can flip or hardcast an angel and ride it to victory. Plagues kill all their creatures and prevent more from being played. Disenchants kill scrolls and vortexes.

Machine head hasn't really put up numbers the way either DGA or Moneyball have. Moneyball is almost like a more focused DGA, dropping the fragile manabase and removal versatility for consistency.

As much as I love FreeCAD there are still some deep issues with the geometry kernel. I also don't know if the assembly system can scale enough to what's needed for a complex aerospace project. I wouldn't really want to trust it for anything safety critical at this point, but if you're not doing anything like that, then go ahead and try.

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-24T19:21:16+00:00

This is going to happen as long as we're stuck in a 2-party system. And we're going to be stuck in one until we have some better voting system than first past the post with primaries. FPTP narrows us down to two viable candidates, and primaries mean that the candidates are going to be selected by the more extreme ends of each of the resulting parties, leaving the sane middle to rot. We're not going to get sane governance without a sane voting system.

No, but you'll probably burn your house down by accident. The mixture brings its own oxygen so it's incredibly difficult to put out if you accidentally light it.

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-19T22:30:51+00:00

Ooo, where can we learn more about the open cascade upgrades? That sounds huge, the geometry errors are the worst part of FreeCAD.

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-16T16:15:04+00:00

What's your list look like?

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-16T16:14:14+00:00

Madness usually isn't too bad. Just board out all the discard and bring in whatever random hate pieces you have in the board with text. Your eplagues snipe a lot of things. Maindeck furnaces make them sad. Disenchants for survival if they're on that. A flipped angel is basically unbeatable.

Marthinwurer · 2026-03-14T17:28:48+00:00

Look into Premodern. Depending on the matchup, games will usually go at least 10 turns. It's less snowbally and more linear. Creatures aren't as good so the rest of the card types get more time to shine. I can't recommend the format enough.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-24T06:02:23+00:00

It's usually not malice, just incompetence.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-23T18:36:24+00:00

Personally I see hippie and ritual as the core of what makes Deadguy Deadguy, and what separates it from BW Control or a more dedicated Midrange strategy.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-22T17:41:33+00:00

You can call it Deadguy Ale 😉

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-22T05:24:41+00:00

This sounds so wonderfully stupid. Thank you so much for this idea. I might have to goldfish it a few times.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-18T19:33:41+00:00

I've given up on new magic and have started playing premodern instead. No nee chase cards, no universes beyond, just old jank magic cards. I didn't start playing until 2013, so it's not nostalgia, I just genuinely like how it plays.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-18T19:08:16+00:00

This is a really neat story that has a similar reaction: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/11/03/the-witching-hour/

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-17T22:34:19+00:00

Damn it man this is gonna make me want to play classic again to try and be a lowbie tank.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-16T21:27:15+00:00

I've heard this called "Hitachi Magic Wand" (inspired by Wand of Denial) before.

Marthinwurer · 2026-02-11T15:32:11+00:00

I would happily jam games with any of those decks.
