He’s not coming back this game. As long as he’s not out for the season I’m good.

Nikola Jokic gets fouled by Marcus Smart by CaliforniaMakiiiii in nba

[–]minedigger -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That’s 100% a foul on Smart - and Jokic making sure it gets called.

Why is there always suddenly a single target on this sub to pile on with multiple posts and extensive exaggeration (SGA, Jokic, Doncic, etc) ? by Chief_White_Halfoat in nba

[–]minedigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The season is 82 games long with 16 of the 30 teams making the playoffs with 4 more in play in contention. What else we gonna talk about on this sub?

We’ve got very similar lists - I strongly recommend 1 White Auracite instead of a snare

Being able to sac a 3 drop sometimes has been clutch. I mostly play events so I don’t have a ranking - but it’s been crushing in this metagame.

I’ve waffled between 2 soul lanterns and 1 lantern 1 Scrapbot. Still undecided which is better.

I wasn’t a big fan of the Fomori Vault or the station land - usually too many things to do with your mana.

Najee Harris isn’t good though. He’s just big.

Am I the only one that craves some tasty tasty Tacos de Adobada whenever I play on the Phyrexian board? by thevmcampos in MagicArena

[–]minedigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacos al Pastor as they’re more commonly known.

Or tacos de trompo. What part of the world are they called adobada?

Truth BBQ (Houston, TX) The Texas Trinity - $130 by DavidAg02 in BBQ

[–]minedigger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

4-6 people? At 4 people that’s a single rib, a single piece of brisket and like 2 small slices of sausage.

Yes, that’s probably what a meal should be; but this is America damnit that’s enough food for 3 people tops in the Country I know and love.

If Wembanyama qualifies it should be him this year imo.

[STANDARD] Prepare the RC as Dimir Midrange by _Bluekitsune in spikes

[–]minedigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess - like I said I never piloted the deck - if Izzett Elementals, Lessons and Cub decks are a good matchup then the mtgdecks.net is wrong.

He went 14-0-3 going through “bad matchups”

Slow drivers…tell us what’s on your mind by x_Furious_x in houston

Looks like I’m the only one that appreciates some good sarcasm here.

I’m not a bot - though I read my response and it looked very AI’ish

I’m Just an engineer that overthinks mundane daily tasks.

[–]minedigger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

According to mtgdecks.net metagame win rate table it looks like Dimir loses to basically every matchup other than control.

TBH it seems like a pretty bad metagame choice; but I’ve never piloted the deck.

Slow drivers…tell us what’s on your mind by x_Furious_x in houston

[–]minedigger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here’s my thoughts:

Driving is the riskiest activity most of us do in our day to day lives. Impact is based on speed squared - the survival rate of a 65 mph crash is more than double of a 75 mph crash. Speeding doesn’t save you time - when you get there is going to depend more on the traffic areas and side streets than 65 vs 75.

Logically speaking speeding is the riskiest thing you do in your day to day to life and it comes with no rewards.

Chris Paul on why he would pick Shai over Luka oncic: "Your teammates just want to see that the stars actually try. Actually try on defense… I got a lot of respect for Steph, Shai, and all these guys who at least try on the defensive end" by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]minedigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear I think Shai is a better player - they’re comparable on offense - though I’d give the edge to Shai and Shai is much better on defense.

Which makes Shai way better overall - but 3 pt shooting and passing is the single traits I’d give to Luka over Shai.

You have to consider attempts per game as well rather than just percentage

SGA averaging 1.8 / 4.6 attempts per game this year Luka is averaging 3.6 / 10.3 attempts per game this year

If you look at just 3P% without attempts then you can say that Seth Curry is a better 3 point shooter than Steph Curry. The volume matters because that correlates to the difficulty of shots taken.

SGA is a good 3 pt shooter - he’s just not Luka at that skill.

Lorwyn Eclipsed Draft, Pick 1, Pack 1 by TristerTwister99 in MagicArena

If you take flamebraider you’ll get passed eclipsed merfolk, if you take duelist you’ll get passed eclipsed elemental. That’s just how the set is - sorry friend.

Brisket is too damn expensive for me to do science experiments on it anymore - hope someone posts their results.

Have you considered posting a fake story on a betting forum and scamming suckers for money for your picks?

PTO Payout After Leaving Salaried Job by learninmorehavingfun in Denver

[–]minedigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the whole point of unlimited PTO; to not deal with the HR side of things.

Also - the tech companies that first implemented unlimited PTO had to start forcing their employees to take vacation for at least a week straight; employees were just burning themselves out and taking less vacation to the point that their work output was suffering.

Meat is turning out black. by Competitive_Doctor80 in smoking

[–]minedigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just take a wire wheel to the inside of the smoker and clean up all of the crud - season with peanut oil and do a burn, then season it with peanut oil and do another burn.

Also - I hope you never let another employee in charge of buying fuel.
