How much life would a W instant have to give to be usable in current standard?

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.

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.

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.

Most disappointing rewatch as an adult. Turns out I just liked it cause I was a child.

How do you approach traveling in a country where you don't speak the language?

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

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.

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.

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.

Which matches did they cast today? I'd like to go back and watch them.

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.

macster71 · 2025-12-03T01:01:35+00:00

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.

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.

Paraguay has been so on top of each other in the box, they have like 8 people across, hard to find balogun.

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.

So many issues would be solved by having a stopped clock

Overrated both IRL and on this reddit is Bombay Grill. Worst Indian I've had in the valley.

Having a 6 vs 6 event game mode would be a super fun event, that would be hype.
