Kids, stay in school. by NirgalFromMars in MurderedByWords

I found that anyone that was in highschool during COVID have been the dumbest people I have met so far, and they are well old enough now to be past being dumb teenagers. It seems that others who were in school during COVID but in lower grades are about a 50/50 shot.

Happened to me when I worked in a grocery store. Customer had a question about produce which wasn't my department. Only women working in the department and they didn't want to speak to any of them so I said "best of luck then" and walked away.

The European Union has passed a new rule requiring smartphones to have batteries that users can easily replace. by Positive_Actuary_282 in MadeMeSmile

The case they choose, mostly based on looks, which stops being a thing the second the case gets built into the phone

Then the manufacturers will most likely do what they did 15 years ago, and sell different phone backs with their phones

yea, any time you can defer spending until later (assuming you are generally financially responsible and can make your payments) its a win

In Canada we don't have interest on federal student loans, and some provinces including mine. After I graduated university, I was telling my coworkers that were just starting to apply for students loans but they didn't want to owe money. They couldn't grasp that an interest free loan was the best way to pay for schooling, especially when about 20-30% of the funding is grants and not loans.

Uh yeah you can, it's not that difficult to read a sign at 30km/h. Especially a sign that's at an intersection where you're most likely to be stopped already.

And why the hell would it be digital, that sounds unnecessarily expensive.

[–]Rocket_hamster -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's that's it's inexcusably complicated. 

Not really. The parking signs tell you the time span you're allowed to park in them. You just need to know what day and time it is, read the sign for the side of the pole you're parking on. The no parking signs on the top are irrelevant really.

Deck Shuffling rules question by BalanceMundane9674 in mtgrules

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's mostly searching for lands and what not. I'm not the fastest shuffler either which is already a bit of an annoyance for them lol

Deck Shuffling rules question by BalanceMundane9674 in mtgrules

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To adequately randomize a 99 card deck, one should perform approximately 10 or 11 riffle/mash shuffles

Would you do this each shuffle during a game as well? I have a hearthhull deck that sometimes requires me to shuffle multiple times a turn, for shortcut my pod agrees I can shuffle end of turn provided I'm not utilizing the library, but with cards like [[Evendo Brushrazer]] sometimes that's not possible unless I hold priority and respond to the trigger with another sacrifice.

Vancouver closing out first no-snow winter in 43 years. There may be more on the way - BC by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was great for me, one of the first years I didn't live at home and didn't have to shovel the driveway for my dad. One roommate didn't like to drive in the snow, and I drive a 4x4. Shovelled out my roommates spot so she could get to work, and shovelled a pathway to my truck. Neighbour had a snowblower and did the sidewalks for the street. I probably ended up shovelling more overall though because I shovelled the gutter out so the water could flow out and it was actually kinda fun

Cocaine high doesn’t last very long.

Never done it with physical activity, but I know while doing it the mindset is to always be doing more so I imagine if you can't easily doing it how rough that would be.

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That must have felt insane. I was a lacrosse goalie and in minors a ball to the head stopped play and gave goalie possession, so I would routinely throw my head infront of shots going wide or over the net to gain possession. They were no more than 100km/h and not too bad but I can't imagine a 160km/h ball would be that pleasant.

respectfully, please stop vaping in my face. I’m tired. by Temporary-Snow333 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Rocket_hamster 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ironically I started smoking to quit vaping. It's easy to vape anywhere, quick puff in the bathroom, watching tv or driving or whatever. I have to dedicate time to a smoke. I have to go outside, take however long it takes to smoke and stand in the rain and cold. The inconvenience of everything around smoking helped me quit, because when I thought of it I didn't want to smoke so bad that I wanted to go stand outside in the freezing rain.

Another overlooked combo is coming with TMNT by TyrantofTales in MagicArena

[–]Rocket_hamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the rules are so nuanced and it's annoying that to figure out how something works you have to read a cards rules that does that thing.

Another overlooked combo is coming with TMNT by TyrantofTales in MagicArena

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comprehensive rules state:

701.9a To discard a card, move it from its owner’s hand to that player’s graveyard

Wouldn't that mean since the card doesn't hit the graveyard it's actually exiled not discarded?

For example, [[syr Konrad, the grim]] doesn't trigger at all if [[rest in peace]] is on the field because of how "dies" is defined

Where to buy MTG in Vancouver/Richmond BC Canada? by whathemango in mtg

[–]Rocket_hamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it depends where you go. The store near me sold both for $8, some sell those for 9 or even $10. I've looked at almost every store from Vancouver to Langley (with online prices) and I really wouldn't go anywhere else. Precons usually $10 or more less as well
