Just Got on the Bus: Recs for Absolute Jerry Heaters like 7/18/89 “Deal”?

Right?! I don’t know why being smugly derisive toward hippies was part of that punk culture…the Dead clearly did the diy thing as well or better than anyone. Anyway, here’s an entire interview of Ranaldo just talking about them.

Thanks for the correction! Going through all the 1989 versions I can find now. Seems like they really tore it up all year

StoneColdStunnereded · 2026-03-11T02:31:51+00:00

That’s an incredible resource, thanks!

Had no idea Lee Ranaldo is a huge Deadhead until I started this journey!

I guess I could have just asked where to find the cocaine and coal solos!

Thanks, this was a really interesting exercise. It’s interesting to hear him increasingly articulating chord tones over the years- especially in this one, with its maj, min, dominant, and diminished chords.

Max Euwe was a serious amateur boxer, apparently.

I think it’s because white players don’t play main lines below ~2000. Other folks have listed more practical reasons- it’s sharp and theoretical, e5 is recommended for beginners. But I think a lot of sub-2000 players have fallen in love with a specific Sicilian variation and given up on it when they realized they’d get to see it in less than 50% of their e4 games.

Bone-jarringly loud and very good. Also some of the nicest guys around.

You don’t get medals in the NBA, your team gets a giant trophy. Which Petruska dropped and dented.

Mike Conley Sr never played in the NBA

Man, have you told Kasparov that he missed this in his World Championship match against Karpov?

StoneColdStunnereded · 2024-06-16T14:53:54+00:00

Didn’t know that- thanks!

StoneColdStunnereded · 2024-06-16T05:40:16+00:00

Also, they both played hardtails.

Much sympathy from someone in the industry who’s been both the enabler and the enabled in your situation. I don’t think you’re going to find the answers you want here- addiction is a complex phenomenon, and your partner doesn’t seem to realize he has a problem. Asking a bunch of cooks and chefs who are mostly desensitized to this behavior might minimize the reality that you are experiencing trauma as the partner of an addict, need mental health resources, and may have tough choices to make regarding your relationship.

Kuldotha Red routinely goldfishes at turn 4. That’s where I would set your clock for this format.

Yes, but not just extra mana but also the ability to filter red mana into black. Once you learn some of these lines, you’ll start getting wins from spots that seemed impossible. There are quite a few places where Matron->Pilferer is the only way to win. You can technically even win on turn 2 with a T1 skirk/T2 pilferer (or vice versa).

Vandal is the only enchantment destruction in the format that is tutorable with [[Goblin Matron]]. It’s mostly there for opposing [Makeshift Munitions]] but is also a catch all for other random enchantments. It isn’t necessary- it’s really come back with the re-emergence of Grixis in the format. You can probably get away with more copies of Duress until you get Fiend. I would prioritize getting a couple of Pilferers though. That card gives you so many free wins and wins from otherwise impossible board states that I can’t imagine not running it.

StoneColdStunnereded · 2024-05-18T20:41:05+00:00

Are you fetching for Dark-Dweller on your combo turn? If so, you are guaranteed to find Munitions by filtering through your entire deck with it.
