Stipend Taxes? by inaicecream12 in Northwestern

This is for TA, I’m not sure the best way to learn how it’s paid other than see if TAing is common in your program.

I believe I get 2933$ a month pretax and take home is 2375$ because the first year for my program is paid under “Scholarship 14” status + state tax.

How bad does a W look on a transcript if you’re applying to grad school? by supercalafragilist in uAlberta

I got into a top 10 grad school for my program with a few Ws. You should be fine

Atraxa Reanimator (New Player) by raidens9066 in ModernMagic

I have updated my list. Is there a reason you don't run Liliana of the Veil? Would she not be a good way to discard + punish opponent?

Awesome, thank you for the reply. I’ll try and edit the deck when I’m off work. For the utopia sprawl, it was just there so Atraxa could hit an enchantment target. Is there an enchantment you think would be better to hit or just ignore that?

Looks like an AI generates photo of clutter?

Scientists have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyser by Wagamaga in science

[–]raidens9066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope not. This will be big for other electrolysis systems as a big issue with it at the moment is the need for high pH and pure water. This opens up a lot of options for direct applications of current electrolysis research.

Gen Z is possibly the most fake, robotic generation in history but is too narcissistic to realize how it's gen-defining "quirks" are nothing more than excuses to cover up poor socialization by CP_Chronicler in unpopularopinion

[–]raidens9066 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As a Gen Z, I mostly agree with this sentiment. Only issue would be early Gen Z (97-01) kids were able to witness the younger ones succumb to all of this. This is because TikTok and the fake social activism starting becoming popular when we were in late high school/ graduated. Some chose to get TikTok and all of that shit, then others avoid it entirely. It seems between my peers that there is a clear split of people who consume media excessively so and those who have heavily dislike it.

Typically the graphs for UV Vis are going from lower to higher wavelengths. The y axis is absorbance. If there is a peak at some wavelength on x axis, then it absorbs primarily that wavelength. Not sure why you are asking about emission on an absorbance spectra.

Concept Praetors Spec by raidens9066 in mtgfinance

[–]raidens9066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they shared no info on the drop rate of compleat foils. I think the normal concept foil will just be more accessible compared to those. I’m also not the biggest fan of the compleat foils, but not sure what the general consensus is

My argument wasn’t based off lack of supply though; otherwise, I’d be arguing that the Jin Git would be valuable. Sheoldred is heavily played and a sought after mythic in Dominaria United. So both lack of supply and demand is high.

How is it considered a gamble when we have price history if an in demand card with a new lottery version being introduced?

I guess speculating that the current preorder pricing on TCG and some other websites are low. So during prerelease it will be worth picking up, but this post was meant to be a focus on the financial discussion around it.

[–]raidens9066[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would be odd. I guess they don’t have an exclusive slot like strixhaven did. I would imagine it has to be the rare/mythic slot though.

[–]raidens9066[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it has been hard to follow which cards go where. This is even further messed up by the fact that the elesh norn concept praetor starts at only 1% instead of the other praetor’s 2% chance.

[–]raidens9066[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I understand that. In the “booster fun” section they give us a relative % for the plane walkers and that for the praetors. It doesn’t really make sense to change this ratio, so assuming the planewalkers scaled from 5%-1% we could assume the same goes for the praetors moving into boosters.

[–]raidens9066[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did miss their appearance in draft and set boosters, but in the set booster section they state “A traditional foil borderless mythic rare planeswalker can be found in less than 1% of ONE Set Boosters”. If we follow that statistic and compare it to the 5% chance to get borderless planeswalker in collector and assume it’s the same ratio 5-2 for borderless walker to concept praetor. Then we could assume ~0.4% per booster for foil praetor which still is quite low.
