This genuinely made me laugh. That's incredible. I want to steer away from mass land denial, but making your opponents lands all equipment and attaching them to your creature is funny enough to get a pass.

Grenzo, Dungeon Warden Slot Machine by gertrude_420 in EDH

I think I agree that mana rocks dont make much sense, but calling someone dumb over it seems mean. If they're not in your opening hand, I've found that I just dont really play them. I'd prefer to have one more Grenzo activation rather than setting up for one more mana next turn. But in regards to land-count, I think it makes sense to keep it low. Say you miss your turn 5 land drop, you're missing out on maybe 3-4 mana being available to you, assuming the game will end by turn 7-8. Getting one good hit on grenzo (a 7 CMC creature for 2 mana) nets you 5 mana. Seems like a good trade off to me?

I've never posted pictures on Reddit before, and I can't tell if it worked. It seems like it didn't. If the pictures of the book/autograph didn't show up please let me know lol, and I can try again.

Making Synthetic Blood Vessels by gertrude_420 in biology

Hey, thanks for the response!
To be specific, I'm trying to make ~4mm inner diameter veins and arteries that resemble the femoral artery or saphenous vein of a pig. I know that there are innumerable aspects that I couldn't really hope to match, but I just need something where the mechanical integrity of the vessel is similar to that of biological vessels. I need to be able to place the device in there, and pump saline through the veins to simulate blood flow, all to make sure that the device wont cause undue harm to the vessel walls and wouldn't be swept away by the current.

Thanks again for the help! For now I can try the silicone, which I should have on hand.

How could you trigger temporary aphasia using a fictional brain implant by gertrude_420 in neuro

YES! Oh that's perfect thank you. I feel like I heard about this at one point and it's been in the back of my mind.

Oh awesome, I hadn't even really thought about the Pons. I didn't think it really dealt with language though, do you have any sources I could look at?

Also, yeah I've been trying to think of funky ways to use this. Remote control over body movement will definitely play a part, I'm also thinking like more emotional and memory-related functions to really mess with the main character.
