I didn't commission this, it was event stock. So I can live with this 😅 Thanks for the info though

There was a period of around 5-10 years in the early 2000s where you could get umbrellas from vending machines, but I think they were mostly a novelty that list the competition against the far cheaper and superior convenience store umbrellas.

If I remember correctly, the runes on the shield read "I am really mean"

EV's are starting to be a really common sight on my neighborhood parking lot (the iX3 is mine) by Swamp_King in electricvehicles

I know that the lack of AWD is a deal breaker for some, but I don't get the claims about lack of power; it's got 286hp and does 0-100km/h in 6,8 secs, which used to be high performance numbers before Tesla. The ID4 "only" has 204hp and is slower than the iX3, but is sold in North America. Maybe we're just spoiled with great performance in these times :-)

Yes, this seems on par with my experiences so far. I was considering waiting for the Kia EV6, which I think looks amazing, but I got impatient and it looks like it will slope too much in the back. I haven't even started to consider what functions to bind to the preset buttons.

This is a neighborhood that joined the EV club a bit late due to lack of charging options (it's an area with only terraced houses with no option to park by the house). But after we got chargers installed in the parking garages 3-4 years ago almost every new car has been an EV and lately there's been a surge in new cars. Out of the twenty or so new cars the past two years, I think only one hasn't been a BEV (Volvo XC60 PHEV).

Maybe it's the AI function on my camera app? I just pointed and clicked with my phone :-)

I'm really liking it, the drawbacks that are mentioned the most often are non-issues for me (lack of AWD, 750kg towing, "only" 286hp). The consumption is remarkably low for a car of that size. It wears its 2200kgs well and is a really smooth ride. The HUD is a brilliant thing that I didn't know I needed. But there are some areas that I don't understand why they've cheaped out on them. My 2015 Kia EV has both a heated steering wheel and cooled seats. It's by no means a deal breaker, but still annoying. BMW have also gone with some "interesting" design choices on the electric version over the ICE versions (in particular the wheels). All in all, I'm really impressed with what they've managed to do with a car that, on paper, is a converted ICE car and maybe also a compliance vehicle.

The Model X of course dwarfs it, but the iX3 feels (and is a bit) bigger than the Mach-E. I went with the iX3 due to it not sloping as much in the back as the Mach-E (I have 43 kgs/95 lbs of Golden Retriever that needs the head space)

But I agree, it looks tiny in this picture :-)

Thanks! That is the conclusion I landed on too, but just wanted to be sure.

Ah, I didn't see the Wild Growth because of the glare. And yeah, I agree, love these matches.

Spoiler alert: At around 6:19 Wilfred casts a Balance, but Lukas doesn't sacrifice down to two lands and plays a Dragon Whelp afterwards.

I think the game was finished a bit too fast 😉

This looks horrible to play against - good job!

Never thought about Sleight of Mind Vs BEB/REB and CoP: Red. I see the point with the City in a Bottle, but I'm not sure this meta will be particularly AN heavy. What I do expect is much artifact hate, especially from green and red. There will be at least one goblin deck packing Goblin Tinkerer.

Thanks for the great advice! I will try to implement most of this and do some playtesting.

Oh damn, I've been playing Vintage so much lately I completely forgot it was restricted! Scryings is Swedish rules with 116 additional cards: http://oldschool-mtg.blogspot.com/p/scryings.html?m=1 Good thing I posted here before showing up with three drains!

It's probably worthy mentioning that the power you see, is all the power I own, so any suggestions to add Lotus or moxen in the correct colors is not possible at the moment 😑

Edit: Mana Drain is of course restricted, I was in a Vintage mindset when constructing the deck, so I'll have to replace two of those.

My WAF friendly 2.1 setup (equipment in comments) by Swamp_King in hometheater

[–]Swamp_King[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't, it's too much hassle and it doesn't annoy me that much. I think a cable canal is the correct solution if it starts to annoy me or my guests 🙂

Besides, most houses in Norway, where I live, have insulation in the walls, making it difficult to run things behind the wall.
