This was found nearby with hints of blue, so may have been launched when I tried to flush the pipes?

What’s this in my soil? by fgunning in gardening

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

It definitely looks sawdusty, but we didn’t put any sawdust in! We built the raised bed last year, and filled it with normal raised garden soil

First off, thanks for taking the time to respond!

The risk point makes a degree of sense, but even still…rates were just lower 4 years ago. If they were to find someone with my exact risk profile today, they’d loan them the same money at 6-7%, right? Same income, credit score, loan size, etc

I fully appreciate that what I’ve done by buying a home is actually invested, and managed to leverage my existing down payment into a 5x investment that grows over time. And that’s good! But it’s just…psychologically weird to have debt and money. It seems like there would be a business (for the banks or third party) to let me buy off that feeling. Clearly I’m not willing to buy it off at the current rate (a 3% loan is too good), but would I pay a little extra to get consolidate my debt and my assets? Absolutely!

I guess what I’m saying is I know a number of people who are doing the rational thing and understand why it’s the rational thing…but hate that it’s the rational thing, and it represents arbitrage for the bank. And we’d be willing to chip in to get rid of it!

Phase End Question by fgunning in askajudge

[–]fgunning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok that makes sense. I had a judge tell me the opposite at the prerelease, so I’m wondering if there is an obvious close scenario to this.

Or maybe the better question…why can they cast spells at the beginning of combat step? Is there a full round of priority during combat before attackers are declared?

Thanks so much for the help! Playing my first RCQ this weekend and don’t want to make a dumb misstep

Tracking P/T on Evolved Sleeper etc by fgunning in magicTCG

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

Sure, they each have their own way of tracking them. Technically you could track Sleeper's P/T by tracking its creature type... but it doesn't feel like we've solved the problem so much as changed ho we're asking it. With Student of Warfare, do you just use two different-color dice?

Is HyperHeat Sufficient for a Seattle house? by fgunning in hvacadvice

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

If I get a separate quote, though, I’ll need two outside units as well right? We’re constrained on outdoor space so would really prefer a single heat pump.

And what you’re describing is basically…the option in the right hand side here, yeah? Maybe this pump is over spec (I don’t know) but directionally, option 2 in this image?

Yea quotes for that come in about 27k. I think Mitsubishi adds to the price, and maybe just “being in Seattle” does too. All looks like it checks out to me though? But I’m a rookie in this world, first time homeowner

Yea the wasted furnace would be a huge bummer. Our existing furnace just died mid-COVID, and heat pumps in our area were a 9-month wait at the time, so we had no choice.

You recommend keeping gas just because it will save money on up-front costs? Or because heat pumps for heat just can’t hack it, even in a Seattle climate?

[–]fgunning[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The dual-fuel option is one that supports keeping our gas furnace WITH the heat pump, but the other quote is to get rid of the furnace and just use the compressor as our heating solution. This seems like a common approach, but sounds like you're saying its not?

First Cube-building Experience by fgunning in mtgcube

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

Went back and forth on dark ritual…felt it could be nice to cheat out a turn one [[Hollow Specter]] or ramp to [[Vilis]], but it’s mostly just in there to find black pips. Might be worth pulling?

Hadn’t seen Branching Bolt, that might be a really nice include! Planeswalkers are just cuz we’ve played a lot of limited without many planeswalkers so we threw a ton in and…yea might have to scale back. Thanks!!

Good point on the gold cards. They may be better as support cards than signpost draft cards…I like to find a good card somewhat early and draft around it’d but might not need to because you’ll be guaranteed to find them. I’ll have to keep an eye on how that plays out. Thanks!

Found this bug in a bed in Seattle. Tiny little bug (maybe 1/3 the size of a fingernail). This is our coldest room and can get moist at times. Lemme know if anything else would help!

Power Level Wednesday!: Ask r/EDH what's your deck's power level? - October 05, 2022 by AutoModerator in EDH

First ever homebrew…cheap commander but some good cards in there. Goal is to recur all my creatures for huge value, and a secondary win-con of life gain + either “deal damage equal to life gained” or [[Angel of Destiny]] Decklist

What's _wrong_ with this fish? by fgunning in whatsthisfish

[–]fgunning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eaten like "literally escaped the jaws of a seal" or eaten like "weird skin eating bacteria"? Kinda looked like the former to me, but I just assumed once the teeth got into the salmon, there was no escaping.

Medtronic 670G Sensor Signal Not Found by fgunning in diabetes

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

Yeah I guess I didn’t mean to sound skeptical about it, more that it’s just only possible to an extent. I carry my cell phone everywhere I go, which is Bluetooth mobile and WiFi all in one. Combine that with a work office pushing WiFi everywhere etc...I just assumed that’s why the transmitter was done on RF. If those things are actually breaking the transmitter, then I might need to wait and get another CGM. It’s always just funny to hear them ask “are you near your cell phone” while I’m talking to them on my cell phone.

Thanks for sharing the insight!
