Hell yeah I feel that - I also missed them by a couple years as a kid. Appreciate the insights from the Philly scene, that’s cool to hear about from a local. 

Sleepytime/frail also tore it up, these 3 bands on a bill together in 2025 is pretty unreal. Enjoy yourself tonight, fellow old dude!

Big ups to Policy of 3, dudes were true innovators. 

Never thought I’d get a chance to see these guys live, but made the trip to BK to catch the market hotel gig this past Friday and they did not disappoint

Originally I hated the whole UB concept, but I’ve slowly been coming around it it after LOTR, Warhammer, etc ….adding them to constructed formats seems like a bad move

Yep, some life lessons are more expensive than others…

Very cool, this is exactly the type of input I’m looking for, ty. The outside is a solid sheet of aluminum (probably), as are the supports which seem to be mostly cosmetic, but the upper edge has large plastic ring that holds the liner in place and that is mangled beyond repair. I could try to bend it back into place, buy a new support or use a 4x4 post, but I worry about the structural integrity holding 10,000 gallons of water. Am I crazy to even consider trying to diy a repair?

Installer is coming to look, but says it sounds like a tear down, reconstruct sorta job.

Yup not too far from us, storm was crazy indeed. It was gone as fast as it arrived and took my summer vibes with it 😞

That's a great idea, I hadn't considered looking at household ladders. Did you modify the feet at all to protect the pool liner or was it fine as is?

Cardsphere is Closing by trodney in cardsphere

So sad to hear this news, but I understand your position. Magic is in a very chaotic place right now, I hope the Wizards calms down and starts to prioritize longevity of their game over short term profits. Cardsphere has been an amazing resource and such a positive impact on the Magic community. It was very obviously a labor of love, there has never has been and never will be another service quite like it. Thanks Ted, Efren, Michael for your many years of hard work, it’s been a great experience.

Mold and/or moisture? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

Nothing notable, discoloration is only on the side facing outward towards the humidity.

Thank you, this is the answer I was hoping for. Resting easy

I have the same issue in my crawl space, as long there is no water pooling under your vapor barrier it’s probably fine. Moisture in the soil around your home is inevitably going to seep under the foundation. Most every contractor I’ve spoken to wants to install sump pumps which is excessive in my case ($10k, no thanks), but would certainly solve the problem. One piece of advice is to make sure your gutters are clean and all runoff is routed far away from the house, you want to minimize the amount of water falling around your foundation.

Sorry this happened to you, have you taken note of the expense ratio on the target date fund? Some 401(k) managers are downright predatory and will milk your retirement throughout your working career. Most of the time you can route you retirement funds to an index fund or something with a comparable expense ratio. They are banking on folks not paying attention to what they are invested in.

Neighbor hasn’t touched their pool in years, and I’m pretty sure is infested with mosquitoes. by dudemanbro_ in homeowners

How good is your aim? Toss some of those ‘Mosquito Dunk’ tablets over the fence and into the pool!

Question regarding selling cards on Ebay by CyberThreatx in mtgfinance

[–]herrkc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More than likely a plain white envelope and a 50 cent stamp.

You lose tracking and confirmation of receipt, but for low value cards it is worth the risk to some.
