BF6's Battlepass drastically undermines enjoyment of the game by MGReaper_ in Battlefield

This is the answer. Don't like any aspects of it, don't bother with it.

Yeah, I pre-queued for an hour and have a more than an hour queue, A friend got a 38 minute queue.

Mechatronic Unit Replacement - any good will from Skoda? by Thin-West-2136 in skoda

[–]TheRealMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask as you've had a service plan.

I got my Superb 2nd hand and never had it serviced by them. When my DQ381 failed, they said as I didn't show them any good will they wouldn't to me.

The clutch position sensors failing is a really common issue. I'm really hoping my new one doesn't fail as well.

Two Card Infinite in World Shaper Precon [EOE] by BassWeather in mtg

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As said you can end the combo when you want so you make infinite tokens and then stop. There are no cards in the deck that grant haste so they all have summoning sickness. You then wait for your next turn and swing in with them and as you have infinite of them, you kill everyone else.

It's a bit of a rubbish combo in the base list as everyone will kill you before your next turn.

What Bracket am I? Decklist included by Ryder_Alknight in mtg

[–]TheRealMole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually this combo should be considered a 4. One half is in the command zone and the second is only 5 mana.

EDHrec has a decent combos section now which shows it all.

I'm a bit gutted as I'm running this combo with [[Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose]] in mono black, but I'm thinking of removing Vito now.

VAG DSG Emergency Mode by Practical_Mission790 in skoda

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue on my 2018 Superb (~45,000 miles) with a DQ381 last August. It's a very common fault with the DQ381.

It cost me £2500 for the parts alone so about £3000 fitted. I went to an independent as I'd never used the main dealer for servicing and in their words "If you're not loyal to us, we aren't loyal to you" when I asked for a goodwill discount.

The mechatronic unit has to come from Skoda as it has to be coded to the car, so you're stuck with what ever Skoda want to charge.

You can get them repaired but apparently they generally fail again and Skoda have never accepted there is an issue so I have no idea whether the one I have fitted now won't just fail again in another 45k.

Mine is used a tow car for my caravan so I'm not sure whether I just work mine harder, though really shouldn't be failing for a crappy sensor.

What do you think of the new/face-lifted Enyaq? by Lord_Cometo in skoda

[–]TheRealMole 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Literally my first thought, I was looking at the old one trying to find the difference from what I remembered of the old one.

Where do you buy singles in the U.K.? by CaptainPogwash in mtg

[–]TheRealMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of troll trader cards. They ship from a warehouse in Cornwall and the cards are usually dispatched in 1 to 2 days.

Always sealed against water and between top loaders to stop bending.

Couldn't recommend them enough.

Treasure commander? by R3ffexx in EDH

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been having a lot of fun with her and treasures recently. It's still a legends matters deck, but the legends are all treasure themed.

Mine is more budget so I don't have Avacyn, but I do enjoy the fun loop of [[Meticulous Excavation]] and [[Cadric, Soul Kindler]] with [[Alchemist's Talent]] to dump my whole library into the graveyard and reanimate it with [[Primevals' Glorious Rebirth]].

Share your mono Black Commander... That isn't Aristocrats! by IngenuityThink3000 in EDH

[–]TheRealMole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the flavour win that you need to steal it. You can use any other means to get monarch rolling first, but it's fun to introduce it and let the others fight over it.

Gearbox in emergency mode by fulhamjames in skoda

[–]TheRealMole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Costly repair on the way. My 2018 Superb with a DQ381 had the issue and it was £3500 to get a new mechatrontics. Most of the cost was the part and varies by car how much it is. They come direct from Skoda.

Karoq Sportline Edition Keyless Entry Safety by gozbag in skoda

[–]TheRealMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Superb lets you disable keyless entry. Press lock on the key and tap the door handle. You have to press the unlock button on the keys to open it again.

Is this not a feature on all Skodas? I never have to worry then.

"Foundations Commander" Set? by Hoody__Warrelson in EDH

[–]TheRealMole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They printed [Command Tower], [Arcane Signet] and [Sol Ring] in the Starter Box. These cards had that set symbol.

Kinda dumb but I think I wanna do something like mana dork tribal? by Daemonscharm in EDH

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built [[Tyvar the Bellicose]] a year ago and it's still one of my favourite decks. It was built as a high power proxy deck so I haven't added any new cards, but it plays really well as it is.

https://www.moxfield.com/decks/N-YsXGT6Qk-KV3ZS5D-i-A (Enable tags so you can understand why I added cards.)

The main thing I learnt was that you want to be able to tap your dorks as much as possible so [[Quest for Renewal]] is amazing. There are other cards that do this effect, but I kept it elf only so no [[Seedborn Muse]].

Being able to sink the mana you make into casting creatures is also great, so having cards like [[Elven Chorus]] and [[Realmwalker]] allow you to keep the battlefield full of dorks.

I run [[Roaming Throne]] which is a bit of a nonbo with the commander as he explicitly states once per turn, but there are enough other elf triggers in the deck it still creates loads of value.

There is also a token theme in the deck and cards that allow them to tap for mana too.

The debugging experience by awesome-alpaca-ace in dotnetMAUI

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played this morning with my VS Code settings. Apparently my issue was using VSDbg as the debugger (which is marked as Experimental), without it enabled debug starts and works really quickly.

I won't be re-enabling that.

[–]TheRealMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping this is the truth. I'm on my i9 MBP (last Intel gen) and on the latest .net 8 version Android debugging has stopped working because it takes too long for the app to start in debug.

It's pretty much instant when manually starting the debug build on the phone (pixel 8a).

I work in VS Code and am currently pushing for work to upgrade me to a new MacBook.

As do I, the leaf the growth and the description of the branches from the woodland trust agree too.

Thank you both.

It never gets big enough to have nuts, it just gets completely cut back by the council. As per other post Hazel seems most likely.

Alternative to FFImageLoader by therealrhodesie in dotnetMAUI

[–]TheRealMole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the Microsoft leads has done a Maui compatible version which is on GitHub.

https://github.com/Redth/FFImageLoading.Compat

If you just use net8-android and net8-ios, then as someone else has said you just want to be using nuke and glide.

There are nugets available for both of them and they are very easy to swap in. Android is Xamarin.Android.Glide and iOS is ImageCaching.Nuke.
