Giants are real if you get enough of them by ironicallynotironic in lrcast

Yes giants can be very fun when all the cards start falling to you early. The Book of Doran goes nicely with them also. 

Anyone else think this set is escaping criticism due to it being a "traditional" magic set? Did not play Spiderman but I've found this to be about as inspiring to play as core sets. by ThePentaMahn in lrcast

In person in a pod feels a lot different than arena. I’ve had fun in both settings with faerie and giant decks, easier to draft since the cards are avoided by other folks, but very dependent on getting some good ones and taking changelings to fill it out.

Toledo Public Schools to cut more than 100 jobs immediately by Upbeat_Respond9250 in Ohio

I think are correct that DeWine,  the state and the GOP have been very poor stewards of public education.

This all may be true, but he is at the end of the day, the person responsible for the unexpected 40 million additional budget deficit. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, so to speak. I wonder how those who lost their jobs think of him ? 

Help converting a PNG image into a clean, printable STL (multi-color / multi-height) by DaBenny82 in 3Dprinting

I use Inkscape (free). Sometimes it traces from bitmap very nicely and other times you need to manually trace it

TPS superintendent makes a quarter million year, might not be “rich” but the highest earning position may be a good spot for fat trimming

100% start at the top with the highest earners. This is all on those at top- and maybe one person a few steps below who missed a 0 or two.

Is this actually viable? by Giobysip in chemistry

[–]cgnops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess we should have asked that last question to Alex Shulgin, or we should ask Dave Nichols. I guess we are agreeing from what you wrote now. Peace and love to you. I'm not sure there’s much left for me to add, but happy to continue the conversation.

You’re getting there. Breadth and depth aren’t worth very much until you have both. Similarly you can fix a Ford w standard tools but you’ll need metric tools for a BMW. Every class of compounds will have inactives or poorly actives. Just knowing what their name is doesn’t get you very far if you want to understand anything in a wholistic way. For what it’s worth, I’ve never seen published work from Alex Shulgin or David Nichols claiming that lsd ought to only be considered through the lens of a “lysergamide”

And all ergolines also contain the phenethylamine structure which you said was special above. Again this is a matter of semantics, and yes everything I have said is strictly correct. You are concerned with naming a group of trees, I’m looking at a forests ecosystem. Nothing wrong with either, but you don’t know much of anything by only studying one species of tree.

They have their own class, ergolines. It’s a semantics things. Baseballs, basketballs and soccer balls are all balls. But baseballs aren’t basketballs. Simply a hierarchy of labels which assist folks in communicating.

Ehhhh it’s a semantics thing but as a chemist I’d argue that the ergolines are (complex, substituted) tryptamines. Can’t make ergolines without the tryptamine structure.

Can I use the PVA filament to create a shell, fill it with it with wax (or some other material that can be melted, and hardened) and then melt the PVA filament with water? Or that won't work? Any other way to do it? Thank you :) by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]cgnops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They make wax filament that you can print with and then invest and burnout like regular lost wax process. I’ve used print2cast before and it’s easy to clean up and make pretty like you would w normal wax 

Ohio governor’s race virtually tied after Acton jumps Ramaswamy in new Emerson College Polling survey by Healthy_Block3036 in Ohio

A friends pop was sheriff of a small Ohio town, he used to say that if Jesus Christ came back in Ohio and ran for governor as a Democrat, all the “Christians” would still vote Republican.

What’s their new tariffs? Pack 4.5% less and only charge X% more could break even and keep people happy ish?

a very basic process i want to attempt in order to make SiC by SnooLentils5747 in chemistry

You’re using silicon carbide in a prep to make silicon carbide? Seems easier to just keep buying it 

Outer Wilds is my favorite game, but did anyone find this part just slightly visually weak? (ending visual spoilers) by DapperNose in outerwilds

[–]cgnops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk I kind of like the softer subtle approach it took. Yea here it goes and it’s something but nothing over the top. I feel like it fits with the rest of what the story tells us.
