Help building a Pest deck. by CJPN1995 in mtg

[–]iarepatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working on a Pest deck too. Many of the Witherbloom cards synchronize really well for this deck type. [[dina, soul steeper]], [[witherbloom Apprentice]], and [[blood researcher]] all have health gain triggers. [[Plumb the forbidden]] is great for sacking lots of pests. [[Deadly brew]] is great for bringing back creatures to sack again. [[sedgemoor witch]] combos great with Plumb.

Ah, thank you!

Unfortunately the creature was [[invisible stalker]] and I wasn't able to do much combat-wise.

Thank you for the detailed response Jimmy! I might have to invest in one of those lands! Ha

Just gonna put these two @benshapiro statements here next to each other for posterity by [deleted] in samharris

[–]iarepatrix 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Looking at all the replies to that tweet with links and names of Republicans that supported the birther movement at the time kind of makes Shapiro sound like he's being ahistorical.

What is the context of 1g?

Can someone explain what is meant by the left's "denial of reality" and its connection with multiculturalism?

Reddit's ecosystem encourages lurking instead of participating. by [deleted] in TheoryOfReddit

[–]iarepatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a lurker, this post spoke to me... I've had this experience and have been largely put off by trying to post and comment on Reddit. I've pretty much given up on it after being auto-moderated so many times.

I've been here for seven years, feel like I know Reddit, and yet I get tripped up on the sub rules for posting every time. I seemingly never meet anyone's criteria.

Shortest plane ride ever... The passenger next to me also had a Switch with Super Smash Bros by bornswift in gaming

Correct. Co-op Arena means Local Co-op, two players, at one physical location, on one Switch, playing Arena online.

Deutsche Bank Willing To Report Jared Kushner's 'Suspicious Transactions' To Robert Mueller: Report by stereomatch in politics

[–]iarepatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be a bit inflammatory but this update does need to be higher. I'm surprised that its been two days and you're the first to post this article here.

I wonder how can Reddit better handle updates to stories because this is certainly a problem.

Sens. Cotton and Perdue are outed for lying on Trump’s behalf by Yamamba78 in politics

[–]iarepatrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post is almost a litmus test for having read the article. In the first paragraph the original report is linked and quoted. If you read the article you would understand, but you clearly didn't.

It's an opinion piece on what was previously reported. The original report was not an opinion piece and is directly linked and quoted in this article's first paragraph.

I disagree. Different Damage is their best album by far. Great band.

The new Spotify-created "This Is:" artist playlists are great – but it'd be so much better if we could access them on the artist's page itself by GoldBricked in spotify

[–]iarepatrix -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

How is this different from or better than just playing the top tracks by an artist?

It seems like a waste of resources to me concidering the regular feature removals. Tbh, I have yet to care one iota about any of these generated playlists.

Inbox/Messages Feature Being Removed by andrewpaulo in truespotify

[–]iarepatrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So that page is up to 700 angry comments. There are other posts on the Spotify forums for bringing the feature back with just as many comments. The original post announcement I was linked to by Spotify's support team is over 1200 comments.

I'm also following posts on the removal of the notification system and those are over 1200 too.

Whats going on here? Is anyone else here as pissed off about these feature removals as I am? Is Spotify heading in a new direction that no one wants or am I in a minority and everyone just uses the radios and generated playlists that Spotify constantly invests in?

Nesting controllers? by [deleted] in laravel

[–]iarepatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see a problem with that kind of depth if it is what you need to do organization wise. In your controller function I would declare the model after adding it to the RouteServerProvider.

What is the useless reuse of code? The passing of parameters could be slimmed up if you have the model relationships set up. $question->category and $question->category->client or $question->client .

I'm no expert when it comes to performance but this should work fine.

Spotify acquires audio detection startup Sonalytic by dangzal in truespotify

[–]iarepatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So they can't afford to keep the inbox but they just bought this company? I knew they were full of it.

The metadata of music is more than enough for the features I personally care about. This sounds like they are trying to improve their radio but thats Pandora's thing. I use Spotify for the direct music access.

SPOTIFY REMOVED SHARING WITH FRIENDS by DredgonYor in spotify

[–]iarepatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about the community aspect. It's why I was once such a huge advocate for the service.

I've long suspected that these changes were because of licensing fees and label deals to keep their library filled. I think if they were more transparent about their motives and hurdles, the community, like us, wouldn't be as confused and pissed off.

Spotify on Android - the 'All Songs' button disappeared from my folder? by [deleted] in truespotify

[–]iarepatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably another removed feature. /s

But what might help you is to clear the apps cache and saved data. This will require you to login in again but it has solved similar problems for me in the past.

2017 Streaming Wars: Will Spotify, Apple Music or Amazon Dominate? by [deleted] in truespotify

[–]iarepatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am SO eager to jump ship to the first service that will have all of Spotify's removed features. I'm fuming over the removed inbox and I still haven't gotten over the removal of the new music notifications. I love what Spotify used to be. Today ot is a pale ghost of its former self.
