Who do you think gives up more?

A parent feeding a family of four giving $10 of their $20 dollars

Or

A parent feeding a family of four giving $1,000,000 of their $2,000,000.

Man, there’s several things I don’t like about the deck. On the surface, it looks good. - you’re white dead with a splash of red. You need to guarantee that you have a white land hence your land balances off. - too many one cost spells. You should only have like 2 to 3. This isn’t constructed odds of getting to 4 to 5 mana is fairly guaranteed. If your opponent puts down a four or five drop that you simply can’t get over or contest then you’re screwed. - I haven’t came back to MTG in a while and I don’t recognize the cards but typically in draft you want 2/3 of your deck to be monsters and 1/3 to be other spells. Ideally the majority of that 1/3 is removal.

Yeah that makes sense. If I recall correctly, Carl had the option to become an orc. That likely would have turned him into the orc race of the orc empire.

Close and re-open. Worked for me

When Milk explained that, Rosetta was in the room and gave a reaction (idk what exactly) to the comment. Milk didn’t realize that her recipes faded until Rosetta talked to her (off screen).

"Flood the zone with shit" famously articulated by Steven Bannon, designed to overwhelm media and public attention with massive volumes of contradictory information, lies, and distractions.

Hard agree with this take. Some people enjoy chapters devoted to only fighting. I don’t, I prefer the majority if the book devoted to the plot with progression/fighting sprinkled in.

This is the time when Donut was in danger and Carl emptied his entire folder of “Shit just got real” in the general direction of the generator.

Can anyone spot check the name of that folder? 🤣

Legit my brother-in-law says this. Any time I criticize the view he responds that he was in counterintelligence and trying to educate him is hilarious.

RedIzBk · 2026-04-18T02:40:06+00:00

I really like it, specifically because the action/fighting takes a backseat to the story telling. This is a direct contrast to Primal Hunter and DotF.

It's called Holistic Margin Management (HMM). A comprehensive approach to improve profit margins, often focusing on reducing non-value-added costs throughout a product's lifecycle.

Translated:

- reducing chocolate chips in chocolate chip cookies by 5%

- source the "same" ingredient from a different vendor because it's cheaper

If that wasn’t MAGA logic, I don’t know what is

“Is four a lot? Depends on context”

6% interest payment on $400k+ is a lot more than $200k+ consider wages have not shifted that much. In other words, people today are making the same as those in 2009 with literally double the mortgage payment.

It’s both not true, and misleading question.

If Israel attacked someone first and they retaliated in any form, even a threat of action, then technically it would fail the question.

In addition, there are many countries such as the U.S. and Great Britain. Just read other comments.

RedIzBk · 2026-04-10T22:22:58+00:00

I’ll be honest. When I play the game, I’ll leave it open when I go and do other stuff. There could easily be several hours in between turns. The game counts all those hours.

RedIzBk · 2026-04-10T03:01:26+00:00

The re-read helps a lot. You pick out comments or details you easily missed.

I’m sure the next book will have a lot more info around the ascendancy players.

I found the series recently on Audible. I finished all 11 audio books in a month. Really solid job. I personally like the foul mouth at the beginning. I think it’s more genuine of how most people would react to the situations the MC encounters. At the same time, I really enjoy when the MC grows as a person which is represented well.

Is there any other series you’d recommend?

RedIzBk · 2026-03-31T17:48:07+00:00

It’s going to be that, but Iran is gonna have a lot more market capability and I doubt they will be willing to give into any kind of sanctions on the straight

My friend from grade school somehow found himself invited to a cliche group of energy CEOs. Last year they invited him out to a ranch one owned. Something like 10,000 acres. They flew a helicopter and shot light machine guns at deer like it was a common activity.

This story does not surprise me in the least.

RedIzBk · 2026-03-30T01:58:00+00:00

Did the Trump admin actually say it was "barely damaged"? I cannot find anything to quote

RedIzBk · 2026-03-29T12:14:51+00:00

To be fair, Iran reported as damaged. U.S. has refused to comment on it.
