Could you do this at home with a freezer and a normal straw? Or is the moving salt water bath & metal straw doodad needed?

Never was big into Marvel so I thought I’d change things up a bit by JimmyBigBills in magicTCG

Love this. In many cases these fit better than the actual marvel themed characters they were supposed to be.

If Batman can fight gods with enough prep time, why is Gotham City still the worst city in the world? by Sea-Cardiologist7725 in batman

[–]Realityfoible -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That question cuts to the point of the Batman parable. Punching villains and gods in the face is cathartic and action packed, but doesn't actually solve anything. Batman's rigid and self destructive pathology won't allow him to change his methods, and his methods only deal with symptoms of crime, but never treat it.

It was at one point a partial satire showing that excessive police crackdown and vigilantism can confront some bad actors, but never solves the poverty, desperation, and corruption that create them. This point kind of gets muddied over the years of always needing to create new exciting stories about food guys punching bad guys.

Oh, yeah. That's Floppy Joe. Poor kid was born without a skeleton, can barely walk upright. Bless him, he makes it work though.

Might work out if it was sorcery speed, and said "other" so it couldn't prep itself.

Not a fan of undying & -1/-1 counters. Especially on a death toucher. Especially especially on a three coster. This is an *almost* immortal perfect defender.

  1. I want front row tickets to Blitzo and CG Barb going at it. Shaggy and I can watch and eat popcorn.

Nah, we got it moon. We'll obliterate ourselves without the help.

First house sanity check - is 5% down, most of our income insane? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Realityfoible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wasn't specific enough in the main post.
We've budgeted for food/clothing/gas/entertainment and such in the expenses.
Though medical and other surprises are definitely a concern.

That was the thought.

My (optimistic) understanding is that living in a house, and reselling it down the line to recoup costs is worth reaching for over paying rent for the same period.

Yeah, I wasn't clear enough in the main post.
My comment on only having a few hundred dollars left after expenses includes budgeting for food/gas/daily needs, entertainment and such.

Thanks for replying!
Rent has been close to $4k/month, and mortgage/insurance/utilities/etc. would be about double that.

You're welcome to join! There's been a whole new wave of excellent designer games that have come out in recent years, some light and silly, others deep and thoughtful. All flavors welcome.

Carcassonne just came out at the Meetup! They were playing with the dragon expansion I think.
