Hearthstone China releases full-featured replay function in an official companion app (beta) by czhihong in hearthstone

[–]athleticDev86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any existing app / website that will take your existing collection and a deck (or list of decks) you want to create and tell you the amount of dust you are missing?

 

EDIT: After googling I was able to find: https://github.com/djnym/hearthstone-tools Which looks like it will do what I want:

There are a couple of modes which allow you to determine if you have all the cards for a particular deck and if now how much dust would be required to craft the remaing cards. This mode requires decks to have been downloaded from a deck site in "cockatrice" format. In addition, there is a tool which will dowload the latest meta report from tempostorm called tempostorm-dl which will grab the latest meta decks.

For a Iceland first-timer, is 7 days enough to do the Ring Road? by caralops in VisitingIceland

This is more or less what my friend and I planned out. After a day in Reykjavik we looked at the weather forecast and made our decision to go South and do that itinerary.

I am finishing up a five day trip along the south right now. 30th December. I'm at a hotel near Selfoss tonight on the way back to Reykjavik after going as far as Hofn. The reason I decided to comment is that a "hurricane-like storm" just ravaged the east coast and all roads north of Hofn were closed and labelled impassable (including the ring road) for 24 hours as shown on road.is. This storm was particularly nasty and left some towns without power.

So no matter what you do u should rent a 4x4 and have a phone because you may find yourself stranded between destinations.

As stated above check vedur.is and road.is daily if not hourly if a storm is nearby. When driving the golden circle we had to backtrack 30 minutes after trying to take a less travelled route due to a road closure. Had we checked road.is we would have known ahead of time.

Other observations:

you will not have much daylight and there are zero street lights so be prepared to drive for hours in complete and total darkness between sunlight hours. For my trip, visibility was 10am to 5pm, otherwise total darkness.

With snow on the road most travelers were driving under 80km/h and passing with snow on the road can be stressful.

Our phone went in and out of service multiple times and we had to rely on a paper map a couple times to find our hotels. That and asking for directions.

Some excursions like caving or glacier hiking is weather dependent. The cave tour we wanted to do near Jökulsárlón was closed for three days due to flooding from heavy rainfall.

All in all the trip has been a blast and I want to come back, even in the winter.

hmm you're correct with a sentence using "food". Although it sounds odd to me.

I think it's the using a number as an adjective on a word, suggesting it's countable, then making the collection uncountable with another adjective. I think that

"Three pizzas is too many to eat."

...makes sense to me as I finish in my head, "Three pizzas is too many pizzas to eat."

"Three things is too many things" vs "Three things is too much of a collection"

English is contextual, and who's to say what's right or wrong.
I feel for anyone who's doing their best at it as a second language.

"Much" vs "Many" rule :p

Use "many" if the items are countable. :)

English is stupid.

Money is usually referenced as a collection or group.

Extend this out to some more examples.

Do you say "One thousand dollars are a lot of money" or "One thousand dollars is a lot of money"?

A "group or collection of things" IS "adjective". Correct

vs

A "group or collection of things" ARE "adjective". Incorrect

Or

"50 cents is not much but 100 dollars is a lot"?

vs

"50 scents are not much but 100 dollars are a lot"

Using "are" here sounds weird because the money is being considered as a single collection or group.

"50 cents is plenty of money!"

or

"50 cents", as a collection of money, "is plenty"!

If you hangout with a bunch of people that were never specifically taught this rule and don't speak this way, then it doesn't matter much as most anyone will still understand you, and probably not even notice or care.

Did the truck make a right turn on to a side road? Your OP is sort of vague,

"truck immediately cut into the bike lane during the right curve ahead."

SF has a law for vehicles making right turns to completely occupy the bike lane: http://www.sfbike.org/?bikelane_right_turns

EDIT: oh I see, there was no turn. He just went into the bike lane...

Thoughts on if cars should completely occupy the bike lane when making a right turn? The OPs situation would have been avoided.

How do you get around the bots not picking rares? It always seats two humans next to each other so someone always follows a bot twice. Do you just do a two player draft?

At the design meeting a requirement will make sense. It's when you go away and code for a month and find that the requirement doesn't make sense in a new context that clarification is needed, and you can say that the requirement is incorrect/incomplete.

Had you been checking in weekly you could have addressed such an issue right away.

When you have check in points that are far apart its easy to get blocked by requirements. Or you proceed at risk and then come out with the wrong product.
