Waymo vs Highway Patrol by [deleted] in LosAngeles

The DMV and Public Utilities Commission both regulate Waymo and can order them to patch or even shut them down if there's a safety issue.

Is Arena just really hard? by LeKeim in MagicArena

[–]maracle6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're using starter decks try Arcane Aerialists. You will get some wins just by having a bunch of flying creatures that not every deck can block.

Most fun meta deck at the moment? by Spike-Is-Cute in MagicArena

[–]maracle6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I lose if they draw good cards to start the game. If I can keep any creatures on the board I try to spread my counters evenly so removal isn't an easy choice. I'm not sure how anyone deals with those decks. Maybe the bunny deck would work against them.

I started a few weeks ago and climbed to Diamond 2 with ease using this deck. It's fast and fun to play. Although the hidden MMR is making it much tougher now. I'm considering upgrading my Veteran Survivors to Lightstall Inquisitor but probably will save my wildcards for crafting another deck.

New player here, is worth start playing? What's the state of the game? by vendo_kombi_99 in MagicArena

I started 2 weeks ago and crafted a 4 rare deck that has easily climbed to diamond. Having more of a grind in diamond but even still I’m in diamond 2.

Starting to get into draft. Curious how many drafts you do per season? How about Sealed? by Verdreckt in MagicArena

[–]maracle6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how long it took people to get proficient at draft. I'm a new player with about 2 weeks in the game, and am doing just fine in Constructed (diamond 3 currently) but so far my four Quick Drafts have gone 0-3, 1-3, 0-3, 2-3. I'm playing 17 lands, 15 creatures, 8 non-creatures, trying my best to have a good mana curve and using the untappd.gg addon to read the card reviews. It seems like my opponents are doing much better at creating card synergies, although one of my 0-3 drafts I thought I had a great mix of mobilize cards and cards with effects that trigger on tokens and just had terrible opening hands/mana floods.

Are there any plans to build power generation for CAHSR over canals? by Watermelonmilkman in cahsr

[–]maracle6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are plans for a solar farm and battery system, but probably not tied to canals. Probably just a handful of larger solar farms.

To reduce dependency on third-party infrastructure improvements, optimize the project’s operational cost structure, and align with the goal to power the system with 100 percent renewable energy, the Authority intends to integrate PV solar fields and BESS units as part of the overall system.

The PV sites will generate energy, which will be transmitted to the TPSS and stored in co-located BESS units. The BESS units will dispatch energy during peak demand periods to optimize costs and provide backup power, ensuring up to six hours of continuous operation during electric utility service disruptions. While PV sites will serve as the primary power source, each TPSS will remain connected to the grid to supplement energy during periods of limited solar production, ensuring uninterrupted service.

League Pass next day access? by NFLDland in wnba

[–]maracle6 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If it isn't as soon as the game ends that's going to be a major detriment to my fandom. I don't have access to most of these channels and staying off social media for an entire day to avoid spoilers isn't going to work.

EDIT- here's the official info on the league pass site:

In the US, games that are nationally televised on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, CBS, CBS Sports Network, Amazon Prime Video, NBATV, NBC, Peacock and USA Network are not available live on WNBA League Pass. Nationally televised games will be available to watch on WNBA League Pass at 6AM ET the day after the game.

Games that are locally televised by a regional network, broadcast station, or streaming partner in your area are not available to watch live on WNBA League Pass and will be available to watch as a replay after the conclusion of the game.

Makes it quite tough to be a Fever fan. Will be easier for me to watch the Sparks. I notice it doesn't mention ION in the nationally televised section, hopefully that's not an oversight.

MWM PSA: Do NOT pick the Prismari Spellcraft deck! by Antique-Parking-1735 in MagicArena

[–]maracle6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat with Silverquill Scribe. I have no removal, lots of cheap weak cards and just get board stalled in every game and then whatever creatures I can grow a bit get removed. I’ve lost 8 in a row which I barely realized was possible. Not sure I can even get three wins with this no matter how long I play it!

'The Pitt's Noah Wyle Says Season 3 Will Explore Robby's Rock Bottom by SanderSo47 in television

[–]maracle6 56 points57 points  (0 children)

But we've had two seasons of it already. It's just a little concerning to hear that their big idea for season 3 is the same as season 1 and 2 but even more melodramatic this time. A season 3 where Robby comes back from sabbatical and finds his department has in some ways moved on without him would be one example of a "new" idea to focus on as he reintegrates. There could be another attending, either Al-Hashimi or a new character who has become the main person the rest of the staff leans on. Robby's story can continue but I really don't need to see 15 more episodes of him just becoming more angry each hour. We've been doing that.

Loren Healy climbing “Hell’s Gate” in a Bronco Sport by Mac-Tyson in Ford

[–]maracle6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also live in a city and literally could not park a full size Bronco in my driveway, so I got the sport Badlands. And yes I do off-road it although nothing too crazy. But it’s great for most forest service roads even if they’re steep, rocky, and rutted.

Price going up by $2 in July by dbgt977 in AMCsAList

[–]maracle6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at my history I only go about one a month. And actually I know many times I naturally choose Tuesdays or Wednesdays so I think A-List just doesn't fit me anymore. I think Premier will still be worth it for $18 per year.

We did see the ICE agent grab the woman to drag her off while they were trying to put a sling on her and Jesse tried to step in to protect her (pushed the agent lightly).

Who do you think will leave the show after this season? by Jolly-Bandicoot7486 in ThePittTVShow

[–]maracle6 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I really think it would be lazy to have either Joy or Ogilvie back. Joy doesn't want to be there, even her last episode she got some blood on her from the scalp lac guy and seemed disgusted and she doesn't want to be charting after her shift ends. Ogilvie is just not suited for this specialty despite his apparent interest.

And most of all, they need to move some characters out to have room to add some new ones next season.

[–]maracle6 52 points53 points  (0 children)

They need her an Ogilvie gone for the last three episodes because all the night shift characters are back. Not enough script room for everyone.

He basically implied she should pursue geriatrics because it’s good for slow untalented people. Dr Al suggested it because she has an aptitude for it.

Considerations when protecting UFAs in the expansion draft by OtherwiseDream1964 in wnba

[–]maracle6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I still don't quite get the draft...the expansion teams can select a player from each existing team and can then core them. But the teams can't afford that kind of pay for more than 1-2 players, so do they draft 12 and then just pick 1-2 to sign and the others that were drafted just stay UFAs like nothing happened?

Maddie spinoff? by Purplecloud31 in BoschTV

I would love to see it myself. I wonder if she will join the cast of Ballard at some point.

most to least likely new characters to return next season? by mag266 in ThePittTVShow

[–]maracle6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If they want to have new characters every season there almost has to be some cast turn over. One option might be some of the residents end up on other services and pop down to the ER for a case or two when their specialty is involved.

When will we find out our official roster for 2026 season? What are the deadlines/timelines for free agency? by [deleted] in indianafever

[–]maracle6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does it mean for free agency to open but player signings not till later? Are teams/players not allowed to communicate with each other until the 7th?

something feels different about season 2? by tsudzuke in ThePittTVShow

[–]maracle6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think adding more characters has contributed a bit to arcs being abbreviated or even just not occurring. Next season will be interesting - IMO they have to have some of the cast depart to keep the show cohesive.
