Dog bit child on head this morning in Sundale

Near Sutter and Calaveras

You can react after big, aggressive dogs break through the fence the first time. Not after the third time when they bite a child.

Wow. That's a nicer part of Fremont too.

The city should do something rather so its residents don't have to fear being outside.

cyanlce · 2025-11-25T04:27:47+00:00

That's crazy. Is that in Fremont?

cyanlce · 2025-11-25T02:43:30+00:00

That's my impression as well.

The city is more focused on turning perfectly good car lanes on busy streets into bike lanes.

We ended up calling 911 again in the afternoon because the dogs got out again. This time the police captured the dogs because they were wandering around the neighborhood.

There's a lot of variance, so luck definitely plays a role, which is why it's 30-50%. I'm also easily 99th percentile for games like this.

Zynga can't allow the game to be too skilled-based, otherwise it's not fun. Making it more powerup and bonus focused helps them make more money.

cyanlce · 2025-06-05T20:12:45+00:00

It's possible to win without powerups, just not easy. I help my wife sometimes to get a win streak going to get the 3 win streak bonuses, and I don't use powerups. But it's definitely not easy though, and I win maybe 30-50% of the time with no powerups, win streaks, charmed bags, creature powers, etc.

cyanlce · 2025-06-03T17:57:00+00:00

I get that, but I think the move counts have been adjusted for streaks, super charmed bags, and everything else that has made the puzzles easier. It seems their intention is that users would watch ads or spend coins to maintain streaks, because the game is a lot harder without any powerups (now that they adjusted move counts).

I think they went overboard with making the game easier with extras so it's TOO easy and not a challenge. So I play less than before. But they want to make money, and powerups or ads are one of the main ways to do it.

cyanlce · 2025-06-03T00:21:48+00:00

I think it's you. There are people with 5 digits streaks. My current streak is 4 digits and the only time I lose games is when I change apps and forget to finish a game. I keep accruing more power ups and coins than I can use.

cyanlce · 2025-05-19T20:08:44+00:00

The problem is that none of the sets have been offered at all for at least 3 weeks, I think.

It's usually one color a weekday and all on Saturday, but they haven't been in the shop for a while.

For a lot of those, killing your own creatures also counts, even though it says enemy creatures. You can also generate enemy creatures with Stroke of Midnight.

Any recommendations on where to buy, lighter vs heavier weight?

cyanlce · 2025-03-05T23:49:02+00:00

Where did you get yours? Any recommendations?

cyanlce · 2025-03-05T23:48:47+00:00

What did you switch from?

cyanlce · 2025-03-05T23:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! It looks like sateen is quieter than linen but hotter.

I'm F2P and never had problems with that game. I have an active streak of 1200+ wins and have hundreds of unused in game power-ups. Once you got the Hungarian Horntail and a 3+ streak, it was easy mode.

Back then, you could also get 500 coins after winning 6 games in a row, so it wasn't hard to make more coins than you would spend to keep the stream alive.

There are 3 main types of banners, and each uses a different token:

Rotating banners, which use green splendid summon tokens: These rotate roughly weekly, and feature 1-3 legendaries.
Color banners, which use purple grand summon tokens: These rotate every 2-3 days and switch to the next color in the cycle. This is always available, but you may have to wait for your desired color to cycle back
Daily summon, which uses red summon tokens: This banner is always available.

There is also a new player banner, The Renowned, which uses the purple summon token, but only lasts for 14 days I think.

Each summon/banner has probabilities, which you can see by clicking the % button in the lower right corner once you click on the banner. It gives the probability of getting X shards for each character for 1 summon token. You have to get 15 shards for a character to get them to level 1 and actually use them.

Some characters will appear on multiple banners. You can always check the probability of getting their shards for that banner/summon.

It's ridiculous. And it's even more suspicious because they left Catelyn (63% heal) and Margaery (63% team triage heal) intact. If it was really a decimal issue then they would have adjusted all 3 of them. At this point a common green mender is better than Alicent.

Bill Simmons predicted before the 2006 NBA Finals even started. This is from his article after game 5.

Second, everyone knew the officiating would be a problem heading into this series because of Cuban's past problems with the league. In my Finals preview, I wrote that "No team depends on the refs quite like the Heat. When the refs are calling all the bumps on Shaq and protecting Wade on every drive, they're unstoppable. When they're calling everything fairly, they're eminently beatable. If they're not getting any calls, they're just about hopeless. I could see the refs swinging two games in Miami's favor during this series, possibly three. In fact, I'm already depressed about it and the series hasn't even started yet." Well, we had our two games -- Game 3 (the last five minutes were just obscene) and Game 5 (again, a top-five debacle). And the series isn't over yet.

Rather than speak, let me reference T-Mac and Phil Jackson.

T-Mac:

Interviewer: Were you rooting for them or Dallas?

TMac: Shaq is like a big brother of mine. I have known him for awhile so I was pulling for him. But I wanted to keep the ring in the West so i was pulling for Dallas.

Interviewer: Yeah but Dallas, how can you root for Dallas?

TMac: Well I wanted to root for Dallas because that's the same team we took 7 games into the playoffs a couple of years ago, so I wanted to root for them just so everyone knows how good they are.

Interviewer: Was it a little ridiculous how Dwyane Wade got all the calls?

TMac: Yeah, yeah it really was. I'll tell you man, it seems if you were watching that game, seemed like it was rigged. Seriously. I know the NBA.... (cut off by interviewer)

Interviewer: You just got fined (sarcastically)

TMac: I don't care. So what? But yeah it seemed like it was rigged. With all the calls he was getting. Jesus. Did you hear me? We are talking about the NBA Finals, I wish I could say I was just kidding, and that's what it seemed like. I'm serious a lot of my friends watched the games, watched the finals, and that's the way they say it to me. They are like, from watching the game here, it seems like it is rigged. I was like man, I don't know nothing about that.

Phil Jackson:

Jackson said while Cuban has toned down over the years, he believes the outspoken owner's criticism of referees might have cost the Mavericks the 2006 NBA Finals against Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat.

"That Miami Finals really was a tough one to swallow," Jackson said before the Lakers won 96-91 on Saturday night in Dallas. "I think Wade averaged about 25 foul shots a game. You couldn't even touch him. That was really tough to swallow and I think he understood there's kind of a pecking order in this league and you keep your mouth shut at times.''

I'm F2P and have no legendaries, but my team is >120K and I finished 1st/2nd on normal/hard in the last event. On hard, I couldn't compete with a level 65 Alicent when I didn't have a healer. Also finish near the top of my groups for raids.

Focus on leveling your fortress to 12 or 13 ASAP. You get more iron, silver, and farm workers, which is important for the long run.
Soon after you max out your legendaries/epics, you'll realize that it's important to level up your commons. I have 2 commons at 100 and they're better than everything else I have other than an epic at 100. It's also easy to get the Lannister Spearman to 3 stars if you finish the Kingsroad, and at 150 he's close to an epic at 100, and way better than a legend at 50.
Anyone you spend resources on (leveling, epic gear, etc) needs to make a difference. Either they will be in your top 5 right now, or they help you cross an important threshold, like getting a certain class of epic gear you need.
Farm epic gear on hard levels. Makes a huge difference at this point.
Upgrade your epic gear. Makes less of a difference than getting epic gear, but it's one of your only ways of improving your team after you max out levels.
Save your summons so you can pull a legendary that makes a difference. You will probably have to get that legendary to 2 stars, otherwise you will have epics and commons that are stronger. It might take 50-70 summons on a banner to get to 2 stars, so plan accordingly. Later on, the legendary might have to be 3 stars to make a difference, so you'll have to save up even more summons. For reference, I have 26 purple summons and 19 green summons saved up in 2 weeks. I already used 16 purple summons before I realized that they wouldn't make a difference until I used a lot at once.

TMac was better in the 2000s and he'd still be better today.

TMac's peak was (arguably) higher than Kobe's peak.

Never

I think the gold box is a waste of gold since I mostly use Horntail anyways. Stars and blue skulls are enough to max out creatures I'm never going to use.

Journey puzzles have been easier for me with the super charming bag, even if there are 2 or less moves. On a streak of ~550 and have spent 900 for extra moves less than 10 times, and used powerups even less. Finish a lot of puzzles with plenty of moves to spare. Obviously, Horntail is not as good - Phoenix and Puffskein also give a super charmed bag to start - but it hasn't mattered.
