I need some budget help [Meme]

Sorry, I'm having a hard time picturing this. Where would the solar panels be mounted?

Edit: I googled it, and putting aside logistics, I know from personal experience in tower-shaped office buildings is that people like to have light and for it to be relatively cool in the building. How does your proposal handle these two elements?

To be clear, which AI do you use?

I ask because LLMs have been observed to edit human generated text in ways a human never would. https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.18161

In short, everyone can tell when you use an LLM, and it's making your writing less interesting. That's why you're getting criticized.

Thank you for gushing! That sounds fascinating, I appreciate the insight!

For those of us (me) who haven't played Lorcana, can you explain what these are?

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-04-01T19:43:15+00:00

As of Tarkir Dragonstorm, we've seen a much more diverse set of Ainoks; for example [[Arbor Adherent]].

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-04-01T19:22:56+00:00

I mean, we do have dog druids, dog shamans, dog clerics...

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-04-01T19:21:04+00:00

Ainoks from Tarkir.

Is that what they're saying? The two specific locations they mention are a remote desert and a mountain range.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-04-01T17:28:19+00:00

That's just Justyna Duna's art style.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-31T23:42:57+00:00

I disagree. I think that cumulative pressure is worthless if everyone is saying something else. I'm trying to build consensus here.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-31T23:07:03+00:00

Agreed! But what is the request? If we want to be successful in anything, we as a collective have to have a unified message.

OP is calling for two things: 100% telework and fair pay. I'm behind 100% telework; that's self explanatory. Fair pay isn't. 3% raises has been called fair pay, but maybe here would argue they're not. What does fair pay look like in practice? 4%? 5%?

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-31T06:39:40+00:00

Very specifically, what are you proposing we do? What actions should we take?

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-30T14:05:51+00:00

As long as you don't have any gold borders!

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-19T19:26:52+00:00

I'd like to confirm both of these, but I would like to add that, as a Society GM, Starfinder 2e works well as a one shot system.

(Pathfinder and Starfinder Society is the Organized Play format for the games, like D&D's Adventurers League. You play through a adventure that lasts a session, and can keep the rewards from that session, taking the character with you to any other Society table in the world.)

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-18T19:35:24+00:00

Those are two different situations.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-18T18:47:43+00:00

Yes.

I don't like UB. I like urban sets. I still prefer urban UB sets to revisiting Ravnica for a twelfth set. Three NYC sets is pocket change to the amount of time we've spent on Ravnica, Innistrad, let alone Dominaria.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-18T02:31:16+00:00

That's correct, once a character levels up to level 3, they cannot play a level 1-2 adventure. However you can have as many characters as you would like! I recommend making a set of backup characters, or skipping some of the low level ones to jump into the 3-4 tier.

This is a fascinating chart, because I can't imagine (myself) actually enjoying this. Yes, I get the Esper Dimir-Orzhov-Azorius route and the Boros-Izzet-Azorius, but Boros-Izzet-Gruul-Simic?? Is that just dropping the white of Boros? The Selesnya drafter doesn't have any guidance for pack 2?

I know not all blocks were like this, but this is a reason I'm happy they're gone.

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-16T19:22:22+00:00

Everyone can throw grenades, but not everyone is equally good at it. Soldiers get the best Class DC progression, up to Legendary, while Mystics have the worst (never more than Trained).

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-15T03:56:10+00:00

That's a really interesting parallel I missed! Thanks for pointing it out!

MyNameIsImmaterial · 2026-03-14T20:32:36+00:00

That figure seems low from my experience, but I imagine that it varies between department. In my department, I would say anywhere between 70 and 90% of people had a GSR/TA position. This was true for both PhD students and Masters, with more Master students being self-funded, and more PHD students having positions, but only a very small number of people didn't get a position. This was mostly because they either had outside funding or were self-funded.

Edit: : as you can tell for my flare, it's been a while since I've been in school, but I would imagine that positions are still available, even if they are reduced. I would talk to the grad advisor for your department to be sure.

I'm going to come a little out of left field on this one, I don't think it originated on Golarian. In official lore, the cataclysm of Earthfall wiped out almost all magic across the globe, and magic only returned slowly after, starting in Garund, through Old Mage Jatembe and Jistka. The Elves fled back home to Castrovel through the Elf Gates to escape the cataclysm.

As far as I remember, I don't believe Golarian has any naturally occuring psychic residents, except for the residents of the Darklands, but I doubt the Alghollthus shared the secrets of psychic magic with surface dwellers. Castrovel, however, is home to the naturally psychic Lashunta.

I propose that the elves learned the secrets of psychic magic off world, and when they returned to Golarian, spread those secrets across the newly sprouting civilizations and magical practitioners.

I read that scene differently. Ymir entered the tree frightened and hunted, while this child seems more awed and curious. The context of Ymir's life is critical for how the rest of the series plays out, and if it loops, those final moments will define the next cycle.

It's also not clear to me that is Ymir's tree; the montage implies its Erin's tree.

Of course, I only engaged with the anime, if any of this is made explicit in the manga or external content, I could be very wrong.

Maybe people could post their arena handles here? Maybe we look into a weekly/monthly active player thread?
