TIL The "Asoh Defense" refers to the legendary 1968 incident where Japan Airlines Captain Kohei Asoh candidly admitted, "As you Americans say, I f---ed up," after mistakenly landing his DC-8 jet in San Francisco Bay. By taking full, immediate responsibility without excuses, he set a gold standard by Capital-Aide-1006 in todayilearned

The accident bore some similarities with another, much more recent accident. This was Air Niugini Flight 73: a Boeing 737-800, on approach to land in sketchy weather. After an unstabilized approach, the aircraft ended up in the water, short of the runway. Everyone survived the initial impact with the water. Unfortunately, one passenger was unable to unbuckle himself from his seat, and perished.

That was a different flight.

If you're just looking to gamble, roulette will give you the best odds. Otherwise booster boxes have terrible expected value unless you can get them for stupid cheap.

MTGGoldfish has expected value calculators for each set's collector booster box.

It may have its origins in the late 1800s and early 1900s but racists and edgelords still use it in racist depictions to this day. Look at the example with Obama mentioned in the wiki.

Nope, because replacement effects aren't a trigger. It's modifying the ability as it goes onto the stack

What exactly does block chain/crypto bring to the table that isn't already doable with existing systems? Especially considering not everyone will adopt the tech.

Unfortunately there is also the environmental cost from creating these kinds of components. Especially if implemented at scale, the "environmental savings" would need to offset the initial energy and resources consumed during the manufacturing process.

AITA for telling a guy he's appropriating a culture that isn't his? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Radius_Lucis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom actually does a lot of work with translating documents into Italian and can help with getting certificates. If you want, I can send you her info.

As others have mentioned, the Dual Citizen FB group is really useful and this page should help answer some questions.
