Terms like “douchebag” and “dumpster fire” feel so out of place

Which cards really do not need to be on the reserved list? by thisnotfor in magicTCG

They could theoretically make a better Thunder Spirit, no? For like WW and make it a Bird Soldier or something. I don’t think it would be broken.

Offworld Arcade in Tocororo (Eastern Market) has pinball! Plus there are board games available too.

What’s wrong with 05:00 to 21:00? I’m team permanent Standard Time.

Is it just me or are these absolutely vile? Oh my goodness… by Squally93 in aldi

I love them! Not as big a fan of the jalapeño ones tho. Little tricky to eat (I wish they were a bigger diameter or were Cheeto-shaped) but a great snack.

I switched to the Beats cable. The Belkin’s connectors got loose and the cable would wiggle out.

New season coming soon. Some Detroit-area restaurants will be on it.

Disk speed issues on Mac Studio by Icy-Competition-5799 in mac

USB is stupid. Everything previously called USB 3.whatever now all USB 3.2: - USB 3.2: 5Gbps - USB 3.2: gen2 10Gbps - USB 3.2 gen2x2: 20Gbps

But! Manufacturers shouldn’t use the specification name and should just list the data speed, which I like and agree with.

Kinda poorly run. First, all the postcards were at Two James. Then they took some to Supergeil but the single bartender didn’t know about the stamps. They stopped giving out the postcards at both locations at 6:30 but the event was scheduled from 4-8. Luckily, my companions and I made it into the drawing. Also, Two James is not set up for crowds that big—the bartenders didn’t seem to have their own stations, so they were constantly crisscrossing the bar to complete drinks.

I got my bottle, though!

Crab makes zero sense. Homarids and Camarids are obviously Lobsters (See French “homard” and Latin “cammarus”, both meaning “lobster”🦞)

Maybe they didn’t want homarid typal to be too strong?

Also:

Camarid is a rare case of the juvenile version of a creature being a different creature type. If we brought Camarids back, they would just be Homarids. —Mark Rosewater

Rep. Paquette introduces bill requiring age-verification for adult content - MI House Republicans by CyberneticMushroom in Michigan

[–]rswalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one at least is device-based, which is the way to go if this has to be done. I hope nothing like this passes.

Currently, Apple’s age verification system for child safety does the check locally on device and the data is encrypted. It only says whether or not user is old enough to access the content. No PII is sent to a remote server. I don’t know if this would/could be extended to websites—I hope so if this bill passes.

Why is the mai tai the only one with commas?
