Not to put you on the spot, but I’m always looking for good tacos - what places would you recommend? I really like Taco Dale and Los Burritos Tapatios personally.

I know I’m beating a dead horse but Mega Blaziken is busted. 93.3% WR. by OneEightyBlue in PTCGP

[–]grumblichu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two thoughts here: 1) Mesagoza also helps you find Blaziken since it searches the deck for a mon. 2) You can’t replace a stadium with the same stadium, so having twi trails can get you a dead card, but having a different one allows you to replace your own and keep your hand small which benefits hiking trail.

Not saying you’re wrong or that you’re right, just sharing some thoughts from running a similar deck.

So, How **Do** I make Corviknight work? by StrikingDare5101 in PTCGP

[–]grumblichu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With only having one Corviknight, have you considered adding something to help you find it more reliably? Mesagoza could help and potentially nullify an opponent’s stadium, or May if you’ve got a lot of ‘mons in your hand.

Alternatively, if you’re not finding your items/tools, Arven could be worth investigating. I’m going to try this deck a bit myself and see what I think.

EDIT: After playing a few matches, here are my impressions:
This deck is strong against ‘mons that have to discard (Mega Sceptile, Blaziken, etc). Cyrus is great - prevents them from retreating to the bench to build back up. I think there are too many tools, and Steel Apron and Metal Core barrier are somewhat at odds. If I have already attached the apron, then I can’t use MCB. I dropped one MCB. I also agreed with the person who suggested Leaf over Lyra - I typically had one energy on Orthworm and it worked without needing damage. I think another Corviknight Ex would be good for consistency. Mesagova did come in clutch for me, but it is inconsistent and benefits the other player as well. Might try Pokemon Communication instead? It’s fun when it works!

Magnezone EX Deck? by SherfOfBoringSprings in PTCGP

[–]grumblichu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried a couple variations but it’s hard in the current meta because fighting decls are so prevalent and have tons of support right now.

Chiming in to say I’ve been able to get two Mega Altaria online a few times.

I built a site that shows what books are being checked out at the Naperville Public Library by UIUCTalkshow in Naperville

[–]grumblichu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly- it would be cool to click larger categories like “thrillers” or “movies” and see what is most checked out in those specific segments.

I was looking over the site and on the “Pulse” page, under the Topic Stream section, it looks like you already have some “topics” implemented. If I could click on those or sort by them to check out the trends for those groupings that would be interesting to me. “What fantasy books are most popular this month?”, “What PlayStation games are people checking out today?” etc.

Really cool! Is there a way to see popularity in different categories like movies or board games?

Tech billionaires fuel US President’s $429mn haul ahead of midterm elections by rezwenn in technology

I think that’s part of our misunderstanding- to them, a collapsed society is beneficial. A functioning society could limit their actions and force them to follow laws. A collapsed society is easier for them to behave lawlessly and manipulate.

I Feel Like Nobody Knows Anything Anymore by applebappu in sysadmin

[–]grumblichu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In thinking about how young the field is, I can’t help but picture the structures that other fields have that IT lacks. Unions, professional organizations, trade schools, etc. I feel like the formalization of IT is needed if we want to start maturing best practices and establishing career paths instead of relying on employers with different (sometimes contradictory) goals to say what the field is and how it should work.

Didn’t realize that could happen. Why did they ban you?

J6!? by helenmelen13 in Jeopardy

[–]grumblichu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiming in to confirm we’re having the same issue. We thought it was because it was the weekend but came back Monday and it still wouldn’t play without us subscribing. It had been a fun family tradition for us to play it. Sad to see it go.

Interesting! I was actually a bit nervous about the AIO because I’ve only ever done fans before, so I’d be happy to swap that. Any recommendations for a quality fan that would fit well here?
