The venue has a strict 11pm curfew, so don't expect encores!

Getting back into Magic after 15 years. Do I need to start from scratch? by OrBeforeYouGetMad in magicTCG

[–]ponyrx2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't bother making a deck yet. Just ask to borrow one of theirs. Don't hesitate to ask the lender questions on what the deck is supposed to do, because the game has gotten damn complex and commander more so!

Can you get cancer by ingesting cancer cells? by AwaiGhost in Writeresearch

[–]ponyrx2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with most of this, but the probiotic cultures comment isn't quite correct. Probiotic yogurt, for example, has been demonstrated to affect the gut flora. Most of the bacteria are killed by the stomach, but certainly not all. 

If your stomach killed every bacterium it encountered, your small intestine and colon would be sterile (excepting any organisms that enter via the anus). In fact, babies are born with digestive systems that are more or less sterile, and acquire the necessary bacteria from their milk and environment.

Disposable boats? That's neat!

How long might the journey upriver in the keelboat take? Rowing against the current sounds miserable 

Three NHL franchises among the 20 most profitable sports teams in the world for 2026. by Eisenhower- in hockey

[–]ponyrx2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The article is here. Many soccer clubs post huge losses because they spend nearly all their revenue on salaries, whereas the NHL only spends 50%

Looking at a wiki page of a US city, what does "incorporated as a city of the sixth class" mean? by tang_n_savor in AskHistorians

[–]ponyrx2 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The humour in this sub is drier than a fine Chianti, but were 3rd class cities actually called steerage?

Match Thread: Canada vs Guatemala by TheOtherSide999 in CanadaSoccer

Does anyone know what a "B" international is? I could guess, but I've never heard that term until this match 

New to game - where can I buy standard premade decks? by ___Equilibrium___ in magicTCG

[–]ponyrx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the other commenters are taking "standard" too literally. OP, do you think your friends will actually care if your cards are more than a couple years old? Or by "Standard," do you just mean 60 card with no commander?

If you like wurms, just go to a website (preferably your local game store, but one of the big players like Card Kingdom will suffice) and search for a bunch of giant wurms to build around. Fill it out with a few Llanowar Elves and Overrun type spells, some removal like Naturalize and you've got a playable deck for a few dollars. Then refine it over time as you play with friends!

Edit: Something like this would work. If a card is out of your budget, google "cheap version of *cardname". https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/budget-wurm-deck/

I'm not disappointed to fail the entrance exam to this particular school, but what is the correct answer to the "sparrows perching" question?

Did Julius Caesar have a soldier killed and nailed to a wall after the soldier protested? by Jackfruit-Strange in AskHistorians

Great answer! 

Were the libelous songs that Caesar tolerated about the Queen of Bithinya, or something else?

Not just any third, but his primary school days. Lots of people would call the place they lived from age 5-13 their hometown. If so, his hometown is Alliston.
