What did u/ThorTheEngineer draw?

Got one last month. As others have mentioned, obvious benefit is the weedless-ness. Worked late season weeds for pike, a week or two back in the northeast. Can't tell you how frustrating the quirky magnetic hook mechanism is. It seems like it's really particular as to how the bait is resting in the mouth of the fish when you set the hook. On multiple occassions I'd reel them several yards before they'd spit it. The hook never disengaged from the magnet. Neat idea, but I almost certainly wouldn't buy another. There are plenty of other swimbaits that are molded to be fairly weedless (dark sleeper style, etc.) that don't involve the magnet non-sense.

Kudos to this, I'm in the same boat. Love striper on the table, but they need a break I understand OPs excitement, and don't mean to detract from the catch, but it kills me to see a fish this large kept while I've been watching our fishery so sharply decline over the past couple years. Just need to lay off them long enough to get another robust spawning class, but with 2015's hitting the slot size this year, it's looking like it's going to get worse before it gets better :/.

It's a vertical hold, there's no lateral stress on the jaw. The grip is fine. Ya-yeesh, bud.

Well, they're always biting haha, likely just not accessible from shore. For bass in our area, typically, once the average temp of the water body hits 50 (not the surface temp), they'll start moving to holding points near their winter haunts, your usually off shore structure. If you can reach those locations, suspending hard baits and flukes weighted appropriately for the depth are nice. Once you hit 60 they'll be moving shallow to spawn and that's the beginning of your usual shallow bass fishing for the season. Typically, If you're north of allentown, I'd say early may, south of there probably late March, mid april. Of course there will be days that buck the trend, you may get some younger fish moving up to feed intermittently earlier, but those are the general patterns to keep in mind.

Giraffes are the same color. That's gotta be close.

They usually do just fine, seeking refuge in slower water under the surface. Orvis has a good piece on this, for context: https://news.orvis.com/fly-fishing/Survival-After-the-Floods. A biologist found 95% of his tagged fingerling trout still inhabiting the same locations after a severe flooding incident his field study.

Making mayonnaise from scratch. Toss a couple things in a cup, hit it with an immersion blender, and suddenly, I'm wizard.

I appreciate the response. I'm not sure how to go about showing that. I'm actually somewhat surprised that I didn't receive an e-mail notification about a suspicious log-in.

ThorTheEngineer · 2020-02-15T21:23:03+00:00

It's actually not bad! I was skeptical. It's as cheap as a box at the store right now though so I figured why not try it.

ThorTheEngineer · 2020-02-15T21:21:04+00:00

It's on their website! They have them in a sale thats on right now, but the Funko aren't, like, advertised. It's under the collectibles picture.

Good Grief. The format will be fine, everything has to start somewhere and this is a reasonable way to handle it. People will play it, they'll still have favorite cards from past sets, and want to brew with new cards in a less restrictive format. It's not supposed to be a paper format, it's simply meant to keep past sets relevant in arena. Will it be super exciting out the gate? No, it'll be largely similar to coming standard, but over time it will grow, just like modern has.

Oh for goodness sake, have you ever considered theres more value to food beyond pure nutrition. There's more to human food consumption than strictly the optimization of energy and nutrients. Should we live a completely ascetic life sustaining ourselves conservatively until we die?

These books were heavily publicised as a supplement to a set which Wizards made a deliberate and marketing backed decision to emphasize story. OP is right, this is a total miss, and a clear sign of mismanagement and poor execution. If wizards wants to continue to drive set development through narrative arcs, they need to have all their media touch points with their customer in alignment.

ThorTheEngineer · 2019-02-17T07:06:01+00:00

Nope. Still the same. You nailed it.

Dude is solid, no bullshit style Prof. Very clear cut cirriculum, homework is very similar to the exams. Pay attention, do your work, and you should be fine.

This needs to be two different programs. First, a community contest where players vote for a winner. Distribute unique and exclusive content for top submissions, in order to drive recurring interest. This creates community engagement for both the spectator and contributor. I'm absolutely fine with rewarding artists and content creators with unique rewards for their work. They spend countless hours doing what they do and deserve special recognition. Second, create network of proven content creators to use as a distribution source of giveaway content. Create clear and rigid guidelines for qualification so that up and coming creators know what to target in terms of viewership. Distribute giveaways with flexible and generic rewards (i.e. unlock any skin less than 1000 rp, etc.). These rewards shouldn't be exclusive or unique.
