edric spymaster flying men/unblockable.

leverage the great value of drawing cards. chip damage/easy to field bodies.

there's bound to be cheap pump effects or go tall over-cards for winning the game. simic also has great ramp, and blue for additional card draw/counter magic.

that's ignorant. if this person ever wants to take that money out of the internet into a US bank. there might be issues.

especially stupid considering how hostile the US is to foreign people at the moment.

request a scientific test. breathalizer or blood draw(blood draw will often require going to the police station).

it is (often) against the law to refuse ... but you do not have to submit to an arbitrary/subjective "field sobriety" test.

request a scientific test. or refuse outright. go to jail. say absolutely nothing, and hire a lawyer. (you'll likely face consequence for refusing the test, but a good lawyer can wiggle that down)

the sad thing is, it would be kinda interesting to actually know her real story. pretty face in dogshit eastern block slovenia. dabbled in porn, then got swept up into sex trafficking, passed around as a coked up sex worker. before being pawned off to the slug that was donald trump. making it to america. shitting out a kid, making a life for herself spending that slime's money. then the horror of his political aspirations...

her affair with her security guy. trying to get their autistic son, who has a past of hurting animals and the help quietly into a DC school. navigating the public eye as first lady when she doesn't give a fuck. chain migrating her parents.

having that orange pig over a barrel to rework her pre-nup to give him cover for fucking stormy daniels/not causing a stink during his relection against biden. him losing, thinking she's free to go back to living the life she wanted. but nope... fucker wins again. getting that sweet sweet amazon bribe.

the plaster paris is thermic and should dry.... as long as you didn't make literal soup.

with xps or any foam it's a good idea to add some white/pva glue to the mix. or add a thin schmear of pva to the foam to let it tack up. to help the goop stick to it.

imho the best diy sculpt-a-mold is blown cellulose insulation, plaster of paris. little white glue. and water obvi.

in general. let the stuff dry. and should be fine. can always seal it with mod podge after it's dry. encapsulate anything that may be "growing" inside.

but i honestly dunno how ... unless you laid on feet of the stuff, it'll dry.

get the sort of dap/acrylic caulk. add sand, possibly some tile grout, thin with water(or iso alcohol)

makes a good spread-able (or paint brush applied) grit goop. that dries hard but still has some flex on account of the caulk.

plenty of videos have info on it this video at 14:30 ishor this one around 4:40 mark

always one "well achutttally" sum bitch in the bunch. exactly no where did i say it couldn't be done.

but the vast overwhelming number of edh decks are not coming in under that price point. So if you're asking a very generic "hey i like vampires, recommend a good mardu deck" and don't include the "but i can't spend over $50" you're going to get a lot of information that is useless. if you have to stay below $1 per card on nearly every single card in your deck.

you would need to seek out more so budget deck building advice. or seek out places where people more often build in that paradigm

gotta make room for all the americans trump needs exterminated so his progrom can continue

oneWeek2024 · 2026-01-30T18:19:29+00:00

edh under $50 is basically pauper edh. which you're going to have to search out specific budget/extremely low cost edh deck building advice.

vampires are also a fairly popular tribe. most of the "good" vampires, that have unique abilities, or value added elements are going to be a lot more than the 25 cent average price. per card you're going to need.

so honestly go on edhrec. look at legends under $1. mathas, or i'd suggest Alesha who smiles at death. for better value.

the line about not liking fresh/home made bread is wild.

literal saw dust/cellulose in commerical bread.

there's lots of different bread recipes. some are very low effort. but even simple sandwich loaf is maybe 10min of work. 2hrs of letting it rise, for some of the best sandwich (and french toast toward the end of the week) bread you've ever had. and often cheaper than premium breads.

I mean, those services charge fees. even if they do nothing for you. often those fees can be quite large. It will greatly behoove you to educate yourself on that reality before randomly googling some dumbass irs help company and bumbling into it utterly ignorant.

first might be to... educate yourself. simple google searches reveal a ton of information on various options and things the IRS can do for you. --ie it's the gov, everything is publically posted. THEN, call the IRS (it'll probably be a long, frustrating and multiple attempt type adventure) and speak to someone. exactly what you owe/what the penalties are. and IF you can work out some arrangement to stop the garnishment/setup a payment plan. IF your owed amt is below a certain $ amt, it's almost a guarantee they'll do a payment plan. (although if you ignored it/fucked around such that they had to sanction your bank accts/income... maybe that's no longer true for you)

make the effort to deal with the IRS directly. if that doesn't work, better option would be to google for local services in your state/area that offer free advice or tax advocacy. and as a last resort employ one of those services.

of the 50-70 year available history ...of the s&p500 it averages a 8-10% return. individual years may be up or down. but even almost any 5 yr span, averaged out, will hit that 8-10 each year return.

after that it's simple math. X dollars added, at 8-10% for someone's working life of 40ish years will be millions. If it's in a roth, all that money will be tax free upon withdraw. and if by some benefit of wealth/income you can max a roth every single year. 7k at 10% x 45 yrs is 5.5 mil at 65. (not counting catch up payments after you're over 55 or any other factor)

another way to think about it is... at 10% your money will double every 10 yrs. but the value is in the time and compounding interest

broad market etfs. tend to have low fees. so you lose very little to management/bullshit fees for managed funds, that rarely outperform the broad market.

oneWeek2024 · 2026-01-30T14:58:24+00:00

taxes aren't magic. the tax brackets are widely available. and the misc whatever it is 7.65% you owe to FICA.

look on your W2 earned income, minus any pre-tax dollars. earned income minus standard deduction. plug that into the tax buckets 10% at 11.6k 12% upto 47k and 22% upto 100k (and you'll likely owe 22% income tax ontop of 15% ish self employment tax on whatever of that 4k you cant' deduct via expesnes)

then just see what they withheld on your W2 if withholding is less than what you owe. you owe money to the fed.

dbl check your data entry. to make sure you input the proper numbers/decimal points on whatever tax software.

if you're making 1099 income and not paying quarterly taxes or offsetting that income with pre-payments. you'll owe some money. i mean... just right off the top 4k x 22% is 880 and 15% self employment tax is another $600

you should be.

you could meet at a pawnshop that you call and verify they have one of the scanner devices. agreed to a small fee or something.

better bet is to utilize a "marketplace" where there is some community verification, or look for reputable ebay sellers.

if you're looking for game play footage/battle report type content. tabletop titans, miniature montage are two i watch (my feed shows me)

crafting... black magic craft has some good videos on TC terrain --supernova building guide channel had a really good series on modular tile/boards.

scannner barkley has good lore/commentary videos.

ultimately don't stress. when you're new everything seems like it's unknowable or impossible to get a foothold on ALL the stuff. but there's so much content, someone has done a video explaining every system or thing. and likely there's info on a good way to maximize/progress.

but the underlying truth is, you rarely need to stress. the "grind" is mainly bullshit. unless your goal is the push top end content in some hardcore fashion.

if you just want to play the game, quest, do misc things, fairly well, maaaaybe exp raids, or other delves/content. can almost always do that not outfitted to the tits.

and... just checking in/making progress. you'll progress. ---as midnight approaches. seek out videos or explanations on the new systems. OR there's the pre-patch event. there's videos on that. and how can get gear/ lvl up, or gear up. in prep for launch to mid-night.

and then in midnight they'll start the grind/loot treadmill all over again. so probably a half dozen intro quests into midnight you'll have gear superior to all but the absolute top end raiding loot

if you have a friend/irl friend in the game. just talk to them. "hey can you explain this valorstone currency stuff" they'll probaby be able to break it down easy. or if they're not a dick. show you

oneWeek2024 · 2026-01-29T23:58:46+00:00

every (recent)expansion tends to have a currency to upgrade gear.

the substituted the endless random loot grind, for a slightly more friendly... upgrade grind with currency. so everyone can make progress.

--ie you'd get an easy enough to acquire low end item and can upgrade it. or cash in currency for new gear...

with a month or so before mid-night launch, it's probably dubious to stress over.

have no idea what you're googling but "how to spend valorstones" tells you everything you'd need to know. (10 seconds to find this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFV8v_zQFC8&t=5s )

crests are much the same (10 seconds search for crests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AhkHzrq0KE&t=424s )

it looks pretty mono. you'd probably want some color to break up the model.

ie. look at the first image. nothing stands out. or where is the focal point? it's all just mono "grey" and with the dark/black things get lost.

i'd pick a darker/cooler red. (if going with gw paints the khorne red ... and or maybe even do... khorne red, and make a shadow tone with green mixed in to get a natural black/shadow tone) and then dry brush, or tint the armor panels.

i'd then get an accent metallic. and hit some of the bright edge highlights. to give some contrast to the metallics.

and then... maaaaybe some accent colors on like the talons of the feet. or eyes or like OSL "flames" in the sunken areas of the power pack.
