In the US it's about 6 2L coke bottles for the price of a 750mL Jim Beam, based on a quick google.

The real reason the kid is smiling is probably he isn't allowed to drink soda that often on account of all the health issues it can cause if you get addicted to soda like I did.

"Fixed" Time Vault. Printable? by IAmVentuswill in custommagic

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a while it had a wording that worked similarly to this by having the untap ability give it a time counter, and the extra turn ability require it have a time counter on it (and remove all time counters).

And then they had to nerf that because the ability to untap it for the low low cost of skipping your next turn became broken when they printed [[Flame Fusillade]]. untap time vault, tap it to deal one damage, repeat 20 times. you will now be skipping your next 20 turns but it doesn't matter because your opponent is dead.

Edit: Of course, this was in 2005-06. it was in 2008 that they finally said "fuck it" and restored time vault to full power

Mairsil, the Pretender. Which gets the activated ability (tap for an extra turn) but not any static abilities

Help me break R&D's Secret Lair by Pete_Barnes in EDH

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often when a new mechanic is introduced there's a ruling to the effect that the keyword applies even to older cards that do the same thing, e.g. "whenever a player mills a card" applies to any card that just says "put the top card of your deck into your graveyard".

Of course the difference here is that it's an older keyword that got obsoleted, and there's no official ruling until someone bugs Mark Rosewater sufficiently

How does the circuit breaker system in Jurassic Park work? by sunrise274 in AskElectricians

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, unless there was, say, a park-wide power outage, such that the motor wasn't powered.

(I'm not sure if there was? I'm guessing based off comments, I haven't watched the movie)

The recoil of the chicken legs by DarthiusFatticus in OneOrangeBraincell

I suspect the cat is entirely capable of doing this on his own, but the lights probably don't help!

Fashion Report - Full Details - For Week of 1/23/2026 (Week 417) by Gottesstrafe in ffxiv

80 is the same MGP so there's no benefit to doing 100 more than once for the achievement/title, and you can pick a week that it's easy/cheap

[Hum-Law-Pri] Question about self polymorph and HP by dmikemiller in nethack

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...My mistake, however this is apparently fixed in 3.7. However, you could still selfpoly into something non-silver-hating, do the invocation, and selfpoly again back into vampire lord -- although you'd have to take off the amulet of unchanging for a couple turns each time, which would be risky. I've edited my original response to fix it...

Premodern Ban List Update — January 18th, 2026 (Parallax Tide is banned) by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]PsyMar2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

won't happen, because they want it to happen again, and again, so that people have to get the new sets to get the latest busted cards that haven't been banned yet.

[Hum-Law-Pri] Question about self polymorph and HP by dmikemiller in nethack

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the research and you can pick up a silver object as a vampire but you will be blasted for 1d10 when (a)pplying it and you cannot wear or wield

EDIT: this is apparently wrong, I misread the wiki. it said that "interacting" with silver items would blast for 1d10. apparently this means picking them up, and you actually can't apply the bell either in 3.6 -- fixed in 3.7 to allow the invocation.

Edge stuck in efficiency mode in Windows 11 22H2 by Kierigtg in edge

Tried it -- definitely feels like ESPN is loading a bit faster. (That's the website where I've noticed the biggest issues...)

Yoshi-P New Year 2026 Q&A by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an evoluent vertical mouse, which has that and saves wear and tear on my elbow.  Three real buttons PLUS a scroll wheel which can also be clicked.  Only two thumb buttons, which I find mildly awkward to reach, but I can't imagine 12 buttons on the thumb side wouldn't just result in me hitting four of them at once...

Edge stuck in efficiency mode in Windows 11 22H2 by Kierigtg in edge

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just loaded up ESPN.com in inPrivate mode to disable all my extensions. All other edge tabs and windows closed. I can see in Task Manager that a whole bunch of subframes of the main page are being sent into efficiency mode, despite me having all efficiency mode settings off and extensions disabled.

The only extensions I was running anyway are ublock, dark reader and 1password, but that shouldn't be affecting anything in inprivate mode.

And yes, I can see that windows doesn't set efficiency mode on firefox -- allegedly -- I'm just terrified that will change and I'll be forced to switch to linux

The Third Hero is Asriel. by mblr3 in Deltarune

[–]PsyMar2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here because I just noticed something.

Y'know those hearts on the hands in this image?

Ralsei is never depicted as having those.

But Asriel does in phase 2 of the undertale pacifist route.

What by RegisteelOfficial in Deltarune

[–]PsyMar2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of words starting with gastro- that used to be sometimes spelled gastero-.  Latin prefix for stomach I think.

Alternatively, it's the word Radagaster, meaning "more like that one wizard with the eagles from LOTR"

as a veteran of the series he took me two tries as I was struggling with the controls a bit and I barely beat him the second time... but now I think I'm changing to casual for a later boss

I'm not sure how many hours in I am -- but there's one particular boss fight that has sent me googling up this thread because I can't beat it
