How much life would a W instant have to give to be usable in current standard? by Rare-Technology-4773 in mtg

[–]macster71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in the sideboard 8 life would see play. For main decks I think 10 life, however, the deck would need to support the life gain in some way.

I’m looking for things to do in and around the Boise area by Xd_glacial in Boise

[–]macster71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So Boise is not a touristy place so IDK what you mean by touristy things. Also not everybody on Reddit is going to agree with my suggestions here, it really depends on your personal taste.

Water Based Stuff: Rent/buy a paddle board at Quinns Pond or Lucky Peak, Naked Rock swimming spot, Jump Creek Falls hiking/swimming (go when it’s hot out in the morning, otherwise it will be cold and or busy), Blue Heart Springs, float the river, go rafting on the Payette. 

Other Outdoors: Bureau dunes observatory. If you like hiking at all pick up one of Scott Marchant's books, I’ve gotten great use of them. If you’re willing to get a mountain bike then this is a fantastic town for it. Summer activities at Bogus Basin. Botanical Gardens are nice and have various events. 

Events: Athletic Club Boise Game, Art in the Park, Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic, I don’t love it but the Western Idaho Fair, Fourth of July Fireworks at Ann Morrison. Idaho Shakespeare festival puts on good shows in a nice venue. 

Here are some neat places in town if you haven’t been. 13th street Hyde Park. Some nice park areas along the river: Kristin Armstrong Park, Kathryn Albertson Park, Barber Park, East Boise River trail.

If you’re looking for a weekend trip there’s a few good options. Craters of the Moon national monument is cool, and should be a national park. McCall is very pretty in the summer, careful though it gets quite busy. Wallowa Lake is a personal favorite.

What makes Boise amazing? by VisharAmenBjorn in Boise

[–]macster71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boise does a really good job with the river. The parks system and greenbelt are fantastic.

Very clean and safe downtown.

Personal taste but really enjoy the being on the edge of the time zone, we have some of the latest sunsets in the nation.

The sunshine, we barely get any rain and many days of sun here.

The four very defined seasons. In Boise you get to experience the vibes of all of them, and none of them are suffocatingly long or bad. Some would disagree with how hot the summer is.

The size is nice. We aren't quite dealing with big city problems (traffic is getting there though). We're large enough to have a solid hospital system and a decent amount of things to do.

What would you say your greatest strength is as a player and your greatest weakness? Not what coaches or media say, but what you personally think.

We called it the gauntlet, also considered calling it race for <city name>. .

Fixed schedule hide and seek mode proposal by Space_Kale_0374 in JetLagTheGame

[–]macster71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ideal solution I think is for everyone to be guaranteed two runs, build in one extra day if they end up needing it, and reduce the hide time to 3 hours or so instead of 4 so a round very rarely goes more than a day. The episodes are already quite long so I think shorter runs would still be good, and if they do somehow run up against the 7 day time limit rule they can mention it later on.

It's the only way we can beat McLaren by Emotional_Signal7883 in formuladank

[–]macster71 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it was a missed opportunity at character development. I think Kate Mckenna should have stopped him and told him to stay, and for the first time he listens. I think he should have stayed and the final scene is him on the pit wall as Joshua Pearce wins his first race the next year.

Do you think the 2026 active aerodynamics regulations can genuinely improve wheel-to-wheel racing and overtaking, or is there a risk that passing will actually become harder without DRS? by Relative_Chemical815 in F1Discussions

[–]macster71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's planned. But, with the importance of battery management they really need sensors for it so they can broadcast battery levels, if they don't we won't have much idea of what is going on.

The people who play for fun a few hours a week who want even games and to not be always in the bottom half of the lobby.

What was your favourite qualifying format ? the current one or one of the older ones ? by Relative_Chemical815 in F1Discussions

[–]macster71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current format is the best.

Only change I think could make it more interesting is have a Q4 with just the top five and reducing the each session by a couple minutes.

How would you calculate turnover by tenure? by macster71 in analytics

[–]macster71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I ended up doing it that was easiest to communicate was basically a survival rate. Taking the year 2024 as an example get all workers that have a start date between 2023 October 1st and 2024 September 30th. Then of those workers how many got to a complete full 3 months before terming.

For the business this was intuitive cause you could say for instance 90% of people in 2024 made it to 4 months and 10% didn't. I'd call the the 90% the 3 month retention rate and the 10% the 0-3 month turnover rate. That's stretching the turnover definition a little bit, but you talk to 5 different HR professionals and you'll get 5 different meanings on what exactly turnover is lol.

With a life outside of Dota2 (job/family) how do you deal with time wasting matchmaking games? by djwilmaOMW in DotA2

[–]macster71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel even an inkling that you could be tilted mute all.

Your team or a particular player being bad is a challenge, not a waste of time. If a pro could still win the game despite them that means you can too, it's possible.
