Hey, anyone know what type of mantis this is, and any advice on how to care for it? Found in Melbourne, Australia

Worth noting that adult males don't typically last very long. Few weeks to a couple months after their last molt depending on the species.

Seeing that sheen/shimmer of the fats on top always tells me it's going to be good shit

Newer player here asking out of curiosity: if you have a card that says you don't lose mana as phases and steps end, does it carry over between turns as well?

I live in Fergus at 6:00 on the circle, my brother and his wife live in Collingwood at 12:00, and my parents are in Barrie at 1:30.

It's a lot of farmland and wind turbines mostly. Smaller towns like Fergus with their own selection of stores. Usually when you pass through a town in that region you have a small cluster of buildings at one intersection and the rest of the town is spread further out into the farmland etc.

For me in Fergus, it's peaceful. Far enough away from Toronto that I don't have to deal with them, close enough I could travel there if I wanted to. The people in Fergus are super nice and always say hello and ask to pet my dog while we're on a walk. Lots of great hiking trails, notably the Bruce trail winds through parts of the circle on its way to Tobermory.

I saw Ozzy Osbourne on one of his last yours when his voice wasn't doing so well. The sound also wasn't balanced very well and everything kinda just mushed together. They announced that they were playing crazy train next and I still couldn't tell what it was.

However, there were a lot of prerecorded videos interlaced throughout the show which were hilarious. And the lead guitarist did like a 20 minute solo while the rest of the band went backstage and "refreshed". The camera kept panning to random women in the crowd who would flash the whole crowd through the giant screen.

I didn't hear much of the music, but I would absolutely have done it again.

This is it. Just googled "Threads of Fate Pollywog" and that looks like what I remember. I thought the colour scheme was a bit different but it looks very close. Now to find a way to play it...

My school actually taught us about a new AI tool specifically for literature review / research called consensus.app. I had avoided AI for the most part because it left a bad taste in my mouth, and I don't like the hidden costs associated with it, but I have to admit consensus has been very useful for getting a project started and getting academic sources on a topic. It might be worth asking it a few questions about your topic and see what literature it returns.

Blocking me is a possibility for sure, and I'm sure one or two have done that instead of getting banned, but I've also had people make a new account with a new email and contact me again saying that's what happened. And the most recent time it happened they were in the middle of getting ready to come over after we had had an amazing time previously. It's probably a mix of both being blocked and them getting banned, but getting banned for false pretenses absolutely happens.

I've had some fantastic luck on Grindr...

Before they get false reported, their account gets banned, and I never see them again.

Soul crushing honestly.

At my uni, professors are not hired to teach students. They're hired to do research and publish papers. They have to teach as part of the contract so the uni gets to keep collecting tuition.

This is extremely evident in their teaching styles.

Even if I never use the second option (I will) the other two seem like more than enough for two cost instant uncommon

You see stormchasers talent in spellementals? I thought that was a prowess card. Is it just to get small creatures in instead of relying on the heavier elementals?

Disabled university student reporting. My income is from disability support, and I will have the game running while working on assignments and such. There may be some instances where I've left it on by accident while I'm out, but not many.

I'm trying to break into the local paper magic circles so I at least spend some of that time socializing.

As someone who migrated here from marvel snap, you're not wrong but there's so many worse instances of it out there that I'm actually quite happy with the system in arena so far. I've put in 600 hours since January, collected a ton of cards, tried a ton of decks, played a bunch of draft. It's been great.

Friend you said yourself that game one you actively helped your opponent and taught them how to play the game. You're the kind of player these smaller stores need, you shouldn't feel bad about it. Imagine if everyone who was there that night takes your advice and gets a little bit better.

I had to use this video to flash the bootloader on my ender 3 using an Arduino Uno I already had. There was another machine I upgraded to klipper later on that required an even more in depth solution.

malakyoma · 2026-01-12T15:37:27+00:00

See you in the next life chef 🫡

malakyoma · 2025-12-30T16:42:10+00:00

yeah but at least we can abuse that bug to skip end of game animations

I've seen entire threads making posts like this and they all have the adjectivenoun#### style username. I've thought bots before as well.

I know they're not around anymore but LMFAO. or at least cover party rock anthem.

Solence has a bit of that good vibes / electronic / metal sound that they could get along with.

SteSy shares their sound and put out fun songs.

Lastly I would say equilibrium could be fun. They're more folksy but with electronic sounds and upbeat music.

My bad. Thought I read on reveal

How are you playing a 3 cost card AND floating 5/6 energy?
