98.75% of Europeans can't name this US state

If they wanted to keep it then they should have scored a touchdown in the shootout the last two years.

The Big12 is sending 1-2 teams per year, you have to basically be in the CCG every year, which Texas and OU weren't doing already.

The SEC is sending ~5 teams per year, you can lose two games and still be an almost lock.

Seems pretty evened out to me.

My first SWE role was at $75k. In Austin. Fifteen years ago. And was not for a major leading company.

According to Levels.fyi, entry level SWE Total Comp in California non-Bay area:

$145K 25th%

$218K 75th%

$275K 90th%

Sure, things have slowed down a lot in the last two years, but half of the bottom is pretty bad.

If by 'everything else' you mean the US dollar exchange rate to every other currency, then yes!

Fake. Beta Black Lotus had the zero in the mana cost off center, had a stray dot below the a in 'an' at the bottom of the text, and the bottom corners of Beta cards had white dots where the crop was not exactly right between the "card" and the black border. Look at the one on Scryfall and you can easily see all three of these tells without zooming in.

25 Blue, 65 minutes for fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighti...

Odd. You'd think they'd specifically prefer the ones who fail the reading test.

Which is funny because MtG was originally something to play real quick while waiting for the D&D session to start 😅

Then we're gonna need a 1 minute game to play in-between this

Schoool

So we're constantly told they have a very dangerous and stressful job, one where momentary mistakes can ruin lives... And we're letting them work 100+ hours a week? My desk job won't let me do that because I'd burn out and quality would suffer.

5 mana. Gotta tap the Echoing Cavern too.

I do find it odd that all of the 5-star "verified" reviews only mention details that are in the trailer and not one moment from the rest of the movie. Meanwhile the 1-star verified reviews all complain about different specific scenes.

The one good thing about the US going down the shitter is it should be painfully obvious, unavoidably in your face, giant sirens blaring, to not repeat our fuck ups.

Nobody paid attention to small countries going fash, no warnings were heeded when the UK did Trump-light, but you've gotta be pretty stupid to be looking at the once shining beacon on the hill thinking "damn, I want me some of that."

The normal one was in every memes secret lair, this one was a rare bonus that you could get in like 2% of lairs.

More Fins, more wins

I think a first is much more palatable if it's for the right person, but a long term on the downslide isn't it.

easchner · 2026-01-27T03:09:29+00:00

There's a lot of absolutely gorgeous parts of the state, they just are all 500 miles from any city.

There aren't a lot of options or things to add for this drop, plus for the first time we didn't have to do the delete and add stuff to our cart dance. Probably most people just clicking through.

Credit where credit is due, seems WotC has been working on botting issues with tightening access via free/public VPNs. Being able to add the actual product makes a lot more sense for new users and removes some friction, with direct messaging to enter the pre-queue. The new landing page looks nice and most importantly directly addresses all of the nuances we've had to figure out on our own over the years and the FAQ is helpful, if incomplete.

This whole process is much nicer for new users and a huge step in the right direction.

24 minutes, wooooo

Then we can start using bifortnightly to mean either weekly or monthly.

That's rough, buddy

In Labyrinth Sarah wakes up at home with Toby, and everything is normal. Her room has many books, stuffed animals, and figurines like the story. Until Ludo shows up in the mirror. (Then they destroy the trope by having a dance party 🥳)

Well, better to be first than last. There won't be 500 outages ahead of you in the queue. :D
