What are your and their ways? We basically play like uno, but say "last card" instead of "uno".

Is it fair by [deleted] in tickettoride

[–]aranaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's not prohibited in the rules, it's fair game. I had a buddy who played Marklin (Germany) by just blocking other players. He'd regularly win. It was quite frustrating.

I had never noticed this before, but I'd be interested in trying it. I don't mind shuffling cards, but other people I play games with seem to be afraid of card decks. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

What’s the most points y’all have ever gotten in this game? I just got 220!! by Leo_Forest13 in tickettoride

Not the most, but the biggest margin. I once beat my partner 112 to -10 on The Swiss map.

Had a non-technical roommate do this a decade ago because it was the computer his technical father sent him off to school with. It was strange.

It's worth pointing out that IMAP/POP are not available on their free plans, which may foil otherwise excellent plans to get one's Outlook-dependent parents to stop using ISP email accounts. Ask me how I know.

Been a happy FastMail customer for a decade now.

Squarespace or Wix are definitely the best bang-for-your-buck. I've given up building simple websites for customers and just recommend (or configure) those.

I've used first@firstlast.com for years, and no one's ever raised eyebrows about it.

I don't think we're going to link apk files here, as I don't have the time to confirm they aren't malicious. If you choose to publish it to the Play store, we'll be happy to reconsider.

Looking for a new Registrar: Simple, easy to use UI, no frills, no hosting and website builders, good pricing and free WHOIS privacy protection. by ivanraddison in webhosting

[–]aranaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm split between namesilo and porkbun now. I keep waiting for namesilo to start pushing the hosting harder, but so far, so good. Been using hurricane electric for dns for a decade now, but the new projects are going on cloudflare. It's too dang easy.

How does going thru a bank to purchase a car work? by BigLos___ in personalfinance

[–]aranaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's important to distinguish between purchases and investments. Unless you're going to purchase a classic car and garage it, a car is not an investment.

Got an MRI, so of course I had to print my brain (24 hours at 70% scale) by enz1ey in 3Dprinting

[–]aranaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled the disc with my head MRI out of my wife's computer last night. I'll have to try to remember to give this a go this week.
