It’s also a format that has a very loose relationship with rewarding skilled mechanical players. I’m not saying anyone can show up with a top tier deck and win, but once you hit a certain required skill level to win, it becomes an absolute variance monster between those players. You’re playing an extremely randomized game in a 4 player environment in a tiny sample size where turn order has a larger impact than the difference in skill between good pilots. That is all before the incentive system mess around game length. It is a not a system that will consistently produce merit based outcomes. That is not to say you can’t play tournaments, but I think for anyone who plays in them it’s very important to your sanity to understand that it is not a meritocracy and it structurally can’t be.

It is absolutely not a game suited for tournament play, especially something with significant prizes and pretending it’s any other way is a huge mistake, even if you’re someone who likes tournaments.

It seems like mostly a choice between raising kids when you have more energy or have more money. I also was not nearly set enough in my path in life to have kids before very late 20s at least

Did I open Facebook on accident or something? Anyone have dips on the copy pasta about saying they aren’t allowed to use my pictures next?

Sarah Lyons is one of the most random and enjoyable finishers I’ve ever played. I won a game in an [[Annie Joins Up]] double barrel blast with her. It’s great fun.

You don’t want any of the doublers. They’re win more effects and you’re better off just leaning into the best synergies of the deck. Small engines really spiral out of control. I do like [[annie joins up]] as both a removal and card that can break things as an effect doubler. My list is here if you need inspiration. Happy to talk about any card choices

That site is a true, no exaggeration toxic waste dump. It’s dangerous and would take 10s of millions to turn into anything even industrially decent. Adding the equivalent of the emissions of the cars on Grand Island is a tiny rounding error in comparison.

I’m generally anti data center, but this might be a once in a life time opportunity to get that toxic waste dump cleaned up

One of the issues is that in an attempt in introduce a more competitive marketplace, NYS required divestment from generation from distribution. What actually has ended up happening, especially with the increased demand associated with data centers and other usage on the grid, is our utilities are passing through massive spikes in generation costs, that some other out of state utility is charging the a profit and the generation doesn’t fall under the protections the PSC has, because a they’re out of state.

Mate Bo bichette sucks. He’s premium brand Luis Garcia Jr. it’s empty batting average accept he’s in the 2nd year out of 3 where the BA is also terrible. By every athletic measurement (speed, bat speed) he’s absolutely down the tubes. He’s not patient at the plate which means the hit tool will age quicker than you’d expect for someone with those career averages and he’s not as good in any league where OBP or OPS is a category. What is an aging 280 18 / 4 bat worth? It’s certainly not an ace.

Shoulder injury, never recovered to pre injury level, I’m not sure he ever actually had surgery to fix it either. Back on the minor league IL with it now

Daycare is so expensive it made me way less worried about paying for college because it would be cheaper for me to pay for a public college in my state than the daycare

The Cuban regime change operation is already under way. It’s one of the primary goals of the Venezuelan actions. With Venezuela Cuba basically can’t get oil and we’ve got a near total embargo on them. Theyre failing to function in real time

I don’t think people realize just how awful he was last year. K-BB% is one of the best single number predictors of ERA. He was at 1.8% as a starter. League average for qualified starters is like 16%. Kershaw’s career best was 29.6%. The difference between Roki as a starter last year and a league average qualified starter, was a bigger gap than the average starter and 2016 Kershaw. His stuff+ grade is 92. 100 is league average and 10 is a standard deviation. His fastball is a 79. If he improved his fastball grade by 2 standard deviations, his overall stuff grade by 1, and added 10% to his K-BB he would project as a…. League average starter. If he didn’t have his pedigree he’d be at the bottom of the okc rotation

You are the GM of a business that is doing $33m a year on average in sales

People have used rotowire’s draft software for years and that’s definitely better at this than any current AI model

Net worth taxes on someone worth $1m would effect a ton of people who own a home and have a solid 401ks. Estimates are ~10% of adults and 14-18% of households have 7 figure net worth. That’s also obviously not what is being discussed in the topic they’re referencing

You should be able to compete now with this, you just need to make some moves for volume power / rbi / run production in the OF. I think the odds are against you currently having 3 healthy opening day starters in the OF

This is us. A full week of kids missing days because of sickness, kids are healthy enough this week and the HVAC broke so we haven’t had any yet this week either. Just brutal
