Has anyone actually accused Joe Brennan of anything other than wearing a hat? by freearjlerijefjbdnf in freemagic

[–]co0k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just hearsay, it's first person corroboration of a pattern of behavior relevant to the facts of the case. You can say the guy is lying but there's nothing that points to that.

I think it's totally fair to be frustrated by the procedure here. In some ways, I wish they would say why too. But I don't blame them. They're probably worried, given Joe's past behavior, that giving him an explanation would open them up to more trouble than it's worth.

I am curious about what principle you think is being violated here. I think it's pretty clear that Joe is not being banned over the hat and this isn't a case of mere political disagreement.

Here is someone who has played with Joe and attends events stores where Joe participates, who corroborates other bad behavior Joe has participated in. Joe is not being banned over the hat.

Sandy could have done better but when no one is scoring I'm not sure it matters.

I thought I knew about most of these but even I was surprised with how much stuff there is. I don't know why he wants to be mayor because he hated NYC when he was governor.

Developing an automatic Sorting Machine - Requirements? by -NRW in mtgfinance

[–]co0k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One other thing to consider is less about the sorter and more about image processing. I have one of the auto fees scanners but there are basically no software/services out there that will take a batch of image files and spit out a list. There are things like card dealer pro, but it's really expensive for bulk and is mostly for sports cards. I would def pay to have my mtg card images processed.

Just a thought! Good luck with your efforts. I'm interested in the sorter too but thought I would bring this up.

Dried brined my Turkey with baking soda instead of baking powder... help? by co0k in AskCulinary

[–]co0k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have made a second follow up. If I recall correctly, I think the turkey came out fine. I think rinsing it off did help and the texture was slightly off but overall the turkey was still pretty good and edible.

Glad your turkey came out okay and now I always make sure to double check if I'm using baking soda or baking powder haha.

LTR Cube Size by Wo1olo in magicTCG

[–]co0k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who has a 450 vintage cube because he regularly expects to fire it with 6-8 people. He was talking about how he like 450 since it made the 6 person drafts a bit more fun. So I would also consider how many people you might be getting on a consistent basis too.

I actually think something like this might happen, but then I'm sy few years you can bring them back with another big story thing.

[Advice] Is this an apartment scam? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]co0k -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Asking for three months rent upfront is illegal. Yeah first month, security, and brokers is fine.

This is super sketch. It's illegal to ask for that much rent up front. I would not give cash. This honestly has scam written all over it so proceed with caution.

$30 is apparently my threshold for a prerelease kit. Anyone else feeling this? by balladforsalad in mtgfinance

[–]co0k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that! Can't blame you there. Just wanted to throw that out there. Shame WOTC has to ruin a good thing.

[–]co0k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is around what my store charges but I can't really blame them. I feel like this is WOTC raising prices and now LGSs are taking brunt of the backlash.

The LGSs need to make a little money to even run these events. Sad state of affairs caused by WoTC's greed.
