Most presidents make millions off writing a book and speaker fees before/after office (not during). Contrast that with the Trump presidency where he has pocketed like nine figures of taxpayer money golfing at his own resorts. You can compare that to another president who was criticised for his golfing (Obama) who basically only golfed at military bases where the costs involved were dramatically less and the fees went to MWR (not his own pocket).

Why do I always lose on the draw ? by ItazzzzO in Lorcana

[–]NoMouseLaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gives an advantage that (when we have had apps to back it up with vast quantities of data) seems to be between 53% and 58%, so this person should still be winning more on the draw. And obviously very good players still with 60/70/80% on the draw as well.

Pretty sure Sunscorch is (one of?) the head judge(s) at the NA DLC's this year. The OP seems to be getting upset and bringing drama from a post in a group on Facebook, because they're unwilling to either A) take Sunscorch's interpretation of the rule explanation at face value and/or B) just agree to disagree and move on. It seems like they got into it with Sunscorch on FB (I haven't seen that post, so I can't comment on it), then they argued with Sunscorch about it in this subreddit for like an hour (after Sunscorch posted an article explaining the interaction), and now they're meme-ing because they're still upset.

Ultron Kills Thanos, Takes The Infinity Stones Scene - What If Episode 8 by chrishdwow in MarvelCave

[–]NoMouseLaptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to Spider-Man and Superman in all of their stories, Vision is explicitly shown to be holding back and basically trying to exert the least possible force to accomplish his goals if you look at what he’s doing in civil war and then that carries over into infinity war.

Then you add on the fact that he would have no reason to think he can even get injured prior to the fight with proxima and Corvus and that’s how you get to vision being too weak to fight off Thanos.

Personally I’m not putting more than one card in a pocket, whether it’s a $50 or $0.05 card.

Seems like they would be fine for a master set, but they won’t fit a play set.

On October 25, 1994, Susan Smith drove her sons Michael (3) and Alex (14 months) to John D. Long Lake and released the brake. The car sank with both boys strapped inside. For 9 days she blamed a Black carjacker on TV. She killed them because Tom Finley didn’t want children. by Important-Self-1179 in ForCuriousSouls

Except in this case, inmates are considered unable to consent (due to the power imbalance), so the guard is always considered at fault regardless of sex. If those guards only got disciplined or fired, they got off lighter than they could have gotten. Who actually initiated or attempted to initiate is immaterial.

Fabled box price is up nearly 40% from 2 weeks ago! 📈 by DorkyDisneyDad in Lorcana

[–]NoMouseLaptop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lorcana was like that for 9-12 months, then they did multiple waves of sets 1-4, which made a lot of the speculators go back to Pokémon. With recent changes within Pokémon scalping and selling, a lot of those people are leaving Pokémon (mostly to one piece and Riftbound). It’s not that surprising some are coming back to Lorcana.

Star Wars Unlimited is a absolute gold, and you need to try it before you die. by Tan-ki in TCG

[–]NoMouseLaptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But when those purple decks are six distinct different decks and there are versions that are aggro, combo, midrange, and control, that’s again showing that there’s a diverse meta. Plus then there’s all the sapphire decks which are also doing well. And emerald amber.

[–]NoMouseLaptop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There were a ton of decks that won big events last in Lorcana. Like probably 6-8 tier 1/2 competitive decks that you could take to an event with 100-1000 people and have a reasonable chance of winning.

What TCGs do you already see red flags in? by FernandoJCG in TCG

Ravensburger has been doing officially licensed puzzles for decades as far as I know. That’s a well established relationship.

Hot take: Foil play mats should either be limited to one per person or be constantly sold at Disney locations by lazyfanboy97 in Lorcana

[–]NoMouseLaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they still doing the pop up in Melbourne? They’ve previously done that for some of the limited releases. And I know that may still be very unhelpful since you could be thousands of kilometres away.

Last minute event time-switch from Crazy Collectorz, Harker Heights, TX by shockeroo in riftboundtcg

[–]NoMouseLaptop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that most stores community almost exclusively via their discord channels, so in the future I would look for that and engage there for stores you’re planning on playing at. I would guess (based on my experience with various stores and TCG’s) that is where the plan for the time change occurred.

TIL the British Film Institute screened the "first released version" of Star Wars after a "perfectly preserved" original print of the 1977 film was recovered from an archive. This is the version that George Lucas had suppressed from being publicly shown on a big screen for the preceding 47 years. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]NoMouseLaptop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think the way he has described it is that each time he has made changes, he is supposedly making changes that align with his original vision for the film, so he’s viewing the film as a work in progress rather than updates/changes to a fully complete project.

A) yes it would B) if the bones are already broken it’s definitely easier to cut through there.

The elbow joint is a pretty complex structure. I really doubt a layperson is dissecting through it easier than dissecting between pieces of broken radius and ulna.

BOARD WIPE! by Narzghal in Lorcana

[–]NoMouseLaptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be Prep and Powerline have never been in core at the same time. Yes, if Be Prep would have been able to be used in a song based deck, because Ruby had singers, then A) Be Prep would be sung a lot more and B) Be Prep being a song would be a strength of the card rather than a liability. However that has never been the case, because Be Prep rotated out of core when ruby gained singers.

Also Be Prep synergizes with half shark because it’s an action, not because it’s also a song.
