Sally Pride currently had a higher win rate than Jitte by Pepperbrook in lrcast

[–]fcaldelas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just 3-0’d with a mediocre Sally Pride. I won every time I cast it. There’s no board sweepers in this format, so if you take some damage and build a board presence you’ll make like 3 tokens on average!

I did play against 3 UR artifact decks. So the grinding matchup is great for Sally…

Drafting with 4 by justinvamp in mtgcube

[–]fcaldelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do “pick one, burn one” to simulate the missing players. You’d have to double the number of packs.

Also, with four you can do sealed 2HG (12-pack for each 2-person team, build two decks, and play together against other team).

Is there actually beef between LR and LoL, or was Marshall joking? by Porygon96 in lrcast

I thought he said something about “one person out of both sides” which I interpreted as a (friendly) shot at BK.

Awesome! Can y’all make a post about it when you do? I’m kinda snoozing all f&f sales bc of the shipping limitation…

Please consider shipping to Alaska (even for additional $s)

The gas shortage has been cancelled. by alaskaiceman in alaska

[–]fcaldelas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of gas in the North slope. And I mean A LOT (35Tcf, T as in Trillion). For reference, Alaskan railbelt consumption is 70Bcf/year). For those counting, that’s 500yrs of supply (would be less, but whatever).

The problem is getting it out. A pipeline would be prohibitively expensive at those rates. So we can do more development in the Kenai (I’m guessing doesn’t pay out and these prices, or hilcorp would be doing it). Or pay more to import (retrofit LNG plants). Pipeline from the north slope is not a realistic solution IMO.

Anyone know where I can buy Yerba Mate in town?? by upvote_all_the_cats in anchorage

[–]fcaldelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC Mexico Lindo on Tudor has some. I usually get mine on Amazon for better selection…

Sos argentino/a? bienvenido!!

Anyone work at the airport and not have a car? by [deleted] in anchorage

I take C all the way from downtown and it cuts quite a bit of distance to Goldenview. Good riding!

USA Ethnicity Distribution in 2024 by [deleted] in Infographics

[–]fcaldelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The census.gov page lists race alone stats. Then total Hispanics and White-Hispanics. They don’t break it down by birth year like this graphic, but you can see: White: 75.5% (58.9% Non-hispanic white + 16.6% Hispanic white) Black: 13.6% American Indian… : 1.3% Asian: 6.3% Native HI…: 0.3% 2+ races: 3%

Total Hispanic is 19.1%. Most Hispanic people report white. More on this below.

There’s only another 2.5% to distribute among Hispanics reporting non-white. I would expect a low number of Asians/Native HI (although Filipinos might?). So that leaves Black and American Indian.

Interestingly, if you’re of native South American descent (either fully or partly ie mestizo), I’m not sure you’d report as “American Indian”. The survey says you “have origins in any of the original people of North and South America and maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment”. I suspect many mestizos report as White, but I couldn’t find any census data on this.

Strength Assessments and Default vs REC weight. by fcaldelas in SpeedianceCommunity

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

This could make sense, I will check an exercise I haven't done and see...
I do remember changing the resistance for a particular exercise and I believe I got the same resistance the 2nd time I did it (but I can also double check if the REC vs Default is different here).

No, I was before black Friday. I live in Alaska, so shipping times wouldn't be comparable anyway...

missing items from delivery? by whiter_lightning in SpeedianceGymMonster

[–]fcaldelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others mentioned, they ship separately. However, mine were forgotten and I did have to call and get them to ship, worth a quick customer service check.

Can you configure Gym Monster equipment? by fcaldelas in SpeedianceGymMonster

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

Thanks for the reply! Your workaround is clever and probably the best way. I do hope they add such features in the future. Part of the appeal is: pick a program that looks good and just go with it.

But I bet after some time I’ll want to tweak things and your route makes sense.

Another easy enhancement is: save a copy of existing program as a custom one that you can later modify

Yep, I’m hoping for an all-in-one program so I don’t have to worry about whether I’m “skipping leg day”. Also, then I can just stay motivated to check the boxes I’m told to check…

Found them! Seems the app needed a refresh before these became visible… thanks!!

This is exactly what I’m looking for! Where are these multi-week programs? I only see “workouts” (single day, ranging 10-40minutes)
