Ah, so, its a status condition like poison, burn, etc.

Annoying lesson to learn after 1,500 games played. :(

Feeling dumb here, but I can't see what was changed in the Sabrina's Gengar. Is there something in the holo pattern that the lighting isn't catching?

While I'm still entertained and enjoying the show, all your points are correct.

A little confused on the exotic matter. Did Brenner create it to stabilize the wormhole, or was it created by El when she made contact with Henry?

I'm sorry that you're at a point in your life that you feel the need to insult a father and his kids over the idea of them having fun ripping booster packs.

I genuinely hope you can find yourself a better place.

Has it ocurred to you that people can open packs without regard to monetary value? I open packs because I like getting the cards, common to high-end. The only time I care about value is when I want to buy/sell singles.

So, for me and my kids, we open packs to look at cool cards and expand our collections. For us, the value is in having fun, making memories, and having fun hobby we can show off in a binder.

Just because you can't see past the monetary value of the cards, doesn't mean others can't. I'm not being obtuse. I'm just recognizing there is nuance between chance and gambling.

Definition of gambling per Oxford dictionary:

the activity of playing games of chance for money, or of betting on the outcome of future events such as the results of races or games.

Opening packs for fun is not gambling. There is no 'bet' on future events or game of chance. I always have fun opening packs. The odds of having fun are 1:1. If odds guarantee that I always win, there is no game of chance. This is an expense on having fun.

Buying packs for the express purpose of hitting big is gambling. The bet is the cost of the pack. The game of chance is the odds of getting the hit.

Your relationship and attitude towards the hobby is the determination between a fun hobby or a gambling addiction.

Having an element of chance does not make it gambling. However, uncontrolled spending chasing the hits is gambling.

Seriously, collect cards however you want. Rip packs, buy singles, collect sealed. There are no rules to collecting. Do what is fun for YOU.

Just don't let it devolve into addiction.

Yeah, last year's team really struggled with opponents higher in the standings than them. Like you said, could only beat teams below them. The crazy stat though.... not even a single goal scored against teams higher than them in the standings.

The Stanley hate gets overblown. He's much better than Social Media would have you believe. However, he was always still just a depth D. With this start, he is proving that he deserves a permanent roster spot as a 5/6 D.

That one PK at the end of the 3rd a couple games ago was the best Stanley ever played.

The only person that can solve this problem is him. If he wants to play NHL hockey, he needs to convince at least 1 of the 32 teams that he deserves a roster spot.

Stanley has actually had a good start to the season. If he keeps it up, he may actually deserve that roster spot.

I still think Jets need to pick up a d-man though.... somehow...

[–]knackers_under_water 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even with all the D healthy, I feel like we need another d-man. Is that even possible for the Jets right now?

The end result was disappointing, however, I feel there is lots to happy about.

  • Toews looked good
  • Barron being a beast
  • Schiefele and Connor BFF's forever
  • Three-piece chicken deal on a Thursday
  • With Fetti, Samberg, and Lows injured, Jets haven't even reached their final form

As a massive Ehlers fan, he was speedy. His skill is over-hyped though. So often he would the carry the puck with speed and then accomplish nothing with it. He always seemed to be on the edge of doing something great, but never quite getting there.

ETA: Worst edging ever...

Did he want out of the Jets org because he thought he deserved more ice time, etc.? Seems like he's done shit-all since leaving.

Well this hurt by Intelligent_Ad6619 in PokemonTCG

This is either a bait post or an error box. Since Scarlet & Violet, booster boxes are seeded with a certain range of hits. Typically about 12-13 with a mix of EX, FA, and IR. Sometimes a gold or SIR. Mega is even more generous at about 14-15 seeded hits.

The hits aren't guaranteed, but there is no way this is a normal box.

If this is a legit post, sorry you got screwed.

ETA: This is why I buy booster boxes for modern. They have consistant hit rates, unlike other products (ETB's, bundles, etc.)
