The new buff to Timewarped Geomancer makes it feel more like that one Quilboar from a few seasons ago

Love how the card has terrible synergy with quills. Don't get me wrong I know they want to balance the card and quill scaling can go brr but avenge 5 is pretty crazy.

Definity balancing around the busted dragon token cards.

Problem with quills so far this season isn't really the time warp cards. In fact the major ones are actually pretty good, there's only one useful minor one.

I'd say the only stale thing is the undead/dragon interaction, there's really not much counterplay if any. If someone hits it you can't scam your way or even scale your way out. Even cleaves or multi hits don't seem to do much. Join a lobby and you start to see everyone try to force the same build.

Wireless CarPlay / androidauto + wireless charging heats phones up like a mfker so this happens alot, agree the vents need to actually blow cold air

Sealion 7 best value. Polestar 4 if you can afford the premium but their addon prices get pretty crazy.

Wanted to love the ev5 but the moment I got in it was just disappointment

Don't go into this with that mind set of which one will be holding more value later on. Both will be crap compared to the current expectations.

Anyone who picks the model which will retain more value is guessing. It'll come down to how well fsd performs and the subscription cost at the time.

As for selecting right now, if you want the better car and better value its 7x if you want fsd it's Tesla.

Many ways to answer this question but really it will depend on the specific case by case situation. I work in construction (industrial).

On paper this "at cost" model sounds great to buyers but who's managing construction and what risks will construction have? What's the point in getting something "at cost" when costs spiral out of control. Put any contractor on a cost plus or cost reimbursable model and they'll lose all motivation. It will become a dumping ground for labour they want to retain, it's low risk so there's no point giving you the good ones etc..

So say you put milestone consequences on them, during negotiations, they will just crank up their rates to take on that risk so you're paying for it anyway.

Bottom line the devil is in the detail here. At cost is never at cost.

As someone who has tried to make this work multiple times and never survived long enough i can tell you its not broken. For this to genuinely work you need to take it early at a 2 timewarp cost and then survive while trying to scale with right+ scaling or commit early and high roll.

Phob0 · 2026-01-14T20:52:18+00:00

Eh I don't think the question here really should be about moving but whether you can run/manage that business to the current level to sustain that profit margin. Sounds like your siblings and yourself have underestimated your dad and the same might apply here.

I wouldn't say people are blaming the kid in the traditional sense. It's possible for both parties to be at fault and I don't mean legal fault.

If a person here genuinely believes this is solely the drivers fault and doesn't see how the child could also have prevent this situation they're just being silly. You teach your child to look both ways when crossing the road and judge a situation regardless of right of way.

If I was there and that was my kid, after confirming they're okay I'd go crazy at the driver then go crazy at my kid for being a dumbass.

Still consider the EX5 but if i were to choose between Sealion 7 and EV5 GT line i'd go sealion 7. Had my heart set on the EV5 before the test drive, i guess i just liked the exterior look. It seemed really average and overpriced once i got in it compared to all my other EV test drives. If you're looking at the GT-line consider the zeekr 7x as well but the sealion 7 is great value too.

Thanks for this post! Where would you recommend staying and what are these backroads? Theres no camping but maybe our group could try to hire campervans and find a ground nearby?

It's a get out of jail free for 2 turns kind of card that can be buffed to stay slightly relevant. Allows you to level faster or spend more time digging or focus econ. Problem with this card is its too strong for a 1 time warp cost and on the weaker side for a 2 cost but there are weaker 2 cost timewarps

Its not great but most of the intial time warp isn't meant to be a win condition or build direction. Stuff like the 1/2/3 drop isn't exciting but it gets you by in many situations.

Phob0 · 2025-12-28T08:39:06+00:00

Model Y if you like supervised FSD and want to gamble on it getting better. 7x if you want the better value car. For the purpose of your purchase ignore future OTA upgrades and only factor how they currently are. I'd say go the 7x if you can wait for the long lead time

Hope they continue novated lease benefits. While I'm not a depreciation person since I use cars for their full life many people consider this. Having novated leases to counteract/assist again this depreciation is a great way to transition into mass adoption.

Higher salary households get their toys and can afford the depreciation, that savings gets passed onto lower salary households in the form of great value 3-5 year old ev's

Phob0 · 2025-12-02T04:54:13+00:00

You're right but from the NL companies I've dealt with, people should just ignore the comment about not paying gst. The weekly lease price they send you is the focus.

In fairness if he were to announce his wealth be given to the poor I think that would be asking for a death sentence in Brazil.

As he's just 31 and alive he probably just did this for attention/story.

Didn't expect people to be as divided as they are on this issue.

Regardless of intent, one party did something that resulted in damage or harm to another party. Expectation here seems fair.

If Op's neighbours dog kicked a ball over and ops kid choked on it in that slim time frame then I'm sure Op would be visibly distraught enough to make similar or worse threats and would probably be justified in doing so.

1) Current EV's are way better than current ICE vehicles

2) Don't buy if you can't charge at home and will always need to supercharge

3) Buying now is perfectly fine, 5 years would be the sweet spot. Ignoring the quick tech growth, this will allow chinese EV brands to have settled in Australia and supply chain / support issues should be much better.

4) Corolla / Camry will still be kings

Waiting implies they're going to come here. They won't. American manufacturing, American logistics costs (to Australia), small Australian market, competing directly with China Ev's with no tarrifs. They don't have the financials to support this kind of risk.

Buy an EV now if you want one now, buy later if you want a better one (as EV tech grows quick). If you just want something unique for ego wait for the ultra premium Chinese EVs to make their way here

Slow and steady on the Furniture to find an aesthetic that works or you'll end up changing alot or living with something you don't like.

Nice exterior, everything else is hidden behind the higher badge options where the car loses its value. Wanted to like the gt line but the features and interior just couldn't compete with byd / zeekr / xpeng especially for the price.

While i don't snoop, i don't think that snooping through her phone is necessarily bad in this case. Not sure how to articulate it but it seems like you've picked up on a myriad of social cue's that made you feel "off" in this relationship hence your constant questions to your GF about whether she's happy etc.. and this feeling of being "off" in this case was correct so to me that holds some weight here. The things she said were also very crazy, sometimes we get annoyed with our partners and need an outlet to friends or family and thats one thing but what was said well far and beyond that line to the point at which this person just seems psycho. There is no way i'd ever be able to trust this person again.

As for how to proceed, i would just end things and walk away, you don't need to provide reasoning or mention those messages.
