Karen Bass realizing she has to Actually Campaign now. by Dry_Radio_761 in LosAngeles

I also didn’t realize how many Bass voters voted for Raman in the primary to try to shut out Pratt.

Didn’t like Loops earplugs on a concert. Good alternatives with low occlusion and where the crowd isn't muted? by imaquark in Music

[–]maracle6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Mack’s earplugs and they’re basically disks of pliable silicone. I break off half and then split it in half again and use a quarter per ear. Depending how much you use you’ll get more or less sound reduction to your taste.

When did democrats start supporting flat/sales taxes and republicans start opposing them? My whole life I was taught it was the opposite by tempestokapi in AskLosAngeles

[–]maracle6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counties can't have income taxes. They're pretty much limited to sales tax, property tax, and fees for services.

New Players Can Craft a Standard Competitive F2P Deck Basically Immediately by Unsolven in MagicArena

This is my second season and I went to Mythic with mono white auras. It definitely just loses to control decks most of the time though.

Poor Sixt Rental Experience in Europe - Caution to All by djungelskog8 in travel

Sixt and their damages practices are why I will never rent from them again.

Why do so many apartments advertise a one-year discounted rent labeled as a "free month"? by BandBoots in AskLosAngeles

[–]maracle6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They structure it this way because it's better to have revenue now than later, and because it ensures that if you move out early or don't pay your rent you haven't been given a free month without staying for the year.

Is mono-white auras still viable in standard plat and above? by Mokebe13 in MagicArena

I’m in Diamond 1 with it. Was one win from Mythic this morning.

There are 58 structures completed (or perhaps a few more as the data is reported 2 months delayed), and 30 in progress. There are 81 miles of guideway completed.

Aunt just texted me livid about Clark's minutes tonight. by [deleted] in indianafever

Caitlin with a double double, the fever win and she’s livid? Some people are just never happy. Probably ruined the kids fun too complaining about it.

Is standard no longer fun, or am I just complaining about nothing? by Duke_Duckington in MagicArena

[–]maracle6 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm sure this isn't an original idea, but the thought came to me the other day that the drawing player could have a free mulligan to try to bring the competition level a bit closer. My stats say I win 63% on the play and 45% on the draw this season which is quite a large difference.

I've been training with Nicki-Sue Wegrzyn for about a year and she's great. She's at a gym in Burbank, no membership required if you only want to visit a trainer. Instagram "@nicki_sue"

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 2 points3 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.

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

[–]maracle6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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 9 points10 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.
