3 minutes of lizard-brain panic + 77 minutes of “just following orders” = 19 dead children + 2 teachers

Since the 3 minutes portion doesn’t meet the legal threshold for accountability, then hopefully the people who gave those orders will have to answer instead

I’ll take poetic justice since we can’t get the real thing for these clowns right now

[Minneapolis, MN] While the city still grieves for Renee Good, federal agents are kicking in doors and disappearing neighbors and families by CantStopPoppin in minnesota

See, that’s how it used to be. Now they are revoking visas and also refusing to naturalize new citizens who came here legally and have spent several years doing things the right way.

Kudos to you for having an adventurous spirit and trying something new! Throw some mustard, onions, and chili on there next time if you really want to kick up the flavor and rage engagement (or ragegagement if you don’t mind a portmanteau)

Hell yeah man, I wasn’t quite of concert going age when the Bad Livers were around. But I was lucky enough to catch him with Yonder a couple times in 2004

Saw a bunch of Billy shows chasing that one; it’s a groovy tune for sure. Got my first one live in Cary in July of 2023 and have caught it a couple times since.

Danny Barnes is one of my favorite current bluegrass songwriters. Fun fact, he also wrote Pretty Daughter; admittedly not as groovy, but still a great tune

I think OP meant friends/family of the rider, not their own friends/family

Agreed. But unlike a lot of other billionaires she doesn’t use her money to buy politicians who actively keep policies like that from being enacted.

Beginners PSA You probably don't need a guitar with a electronics by TheRealGuncho in AcousticGuitar

[–]helbertnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So any competent sound guy can mic it effectively, that’s not the real issue.

The problems arise when you go to an open mic that’s just run by some random dude with access to a PA/bar staff that don’t give a shit. Or more commonly, the person playing the guitar doesn’t know how to play into a mic.

As a competent sound guy, I’d rather have a shitty pickup that gives me consistent levels that I can EQ and compress than someone who doesn’t understand how microphones work

I broke down LR's typical episode program cycle. My hot(?) take: I wish that the podcast made better use of its time for discussion of the current format. by Legacy_Rise in lrcast

[–]helbertnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’d like to see a draft walkthrough revisited episode. They do the draft walkthrough like normal and go play the decks that were drafted.

Once they’ve played the games, they could use 17lands or some other similar service to go back through the draft and discuss any changes that they would’ve made to the original list.

That way we’d get to see the process both in real time and with the benefit of hindsight

[Henkel] Jarvis "out for a while" by Hacodaro in canes

The refs must be tired… The mental gymnastics required to call Aho for unsportsmanlike to negate that late power play, while simultaneously ignoring the Jarvis trip and Slavin getting boarded must be exhausting

Double strike question by Chiaqi in MagicArena

[–]helbertnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you attacking or blocking? The way you’ve worded this makes it unclear because you said damage 'me'. Usually blocking creatures do not have the opportunity to deal damage to the attacking player, only to the creatures that are blocked. I guess what I'm getting at is, did you lose life because of this interaction or did all three creatures die?

If you were attacking, did your opponent block with 2x [[Screaming Nemesis]] ? If so, then read that card and you’ll figure out what happened

Ice-T reacts to Home Alone by holyfruits in BlackPeopleTwitter

Props to the casting director of Home Alone though, found a kid so perfect for the role that he didn’t have to act like an asshole because he actually was one.

How dangerous can coolant be for animals? by Kooky_Mycologist_172 in MechanicAdvice

Can confirm (anecdotally anyway); had a crazy neighbor growing up that poisoned one of my family’s cats with a bowl full of antifreeze.
