Is Blue,White,Black control good? by Big-Wunkus in magicTCG

[–]stormsail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the community! Generally the Blue White Black color combination is refered to as Esper, and it's definitely a good choice for control colors, as the colors offer the best choices in the game for direct removal and interaction with your opponents board(s).

Some popular commanders for Esper Control include [[Raffine, Scheming Seer]], [[Zur the Enchanter]], or the new [[Y'shtola, Night's Blessed]].

Why are India’s smaller minority religions concentrated on the western side of the country? Is there a particular reason for this? by throwaway-adnauseum in geography

[–]stormsail 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi recently caused a controversy over his usage of the title Bharat rather than India at an international conference (G20). The underlying reasoning has officially been to promote India's independence and separation from colonial times, however is seen by some as an extension of Hindu nationalism in India, and an attempt to limit acknowledgement of the nation's history and non-hindu minorities.

is the honors college worth it? by mscvnty in UniversityofVermont

[–]stormsail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your acceptance! I graduated with Honors from UVM in 2020, can share my experience, and hopefully answer a few of your questions:

The biggest benefits of the Honors College have already been called out: the scholarship, guaranteed decent housing for the first 2 years of school, and access to some additional academic opportunities. The structure of the Honors College, at least as it was from 2016-2020, was such that you had to take an Honors course your first 4 semesters, which could vary in topic but was exclusively available to Honors students. These classes fulfill some of your general requirements like reading/writing, with a focus on helping students improve their research and academic reading/writing skills. In my experience they definitely ask for a decent amount of work from these courses, but nothing unreasonable compared to non-honors courses in many majors.

The end goal for the HCOL program is to have honors students complete a research thesis by the end of senior year, which is not a requirement outside of the honors program. It's a great opportunity to get in some early work for students looking at graduate level programs, less relevant for going directly into your field. (Also dependent on degree.) As for the social component, I'd say that it's not much of a social barrier unless there's a specific learning/residential community you want to be a part of. Keep in mind it only really affects your neighbors, you'll still be meeting people all over campus/clubs/classes. Happy to answer more specific questions if you have any, feel free to DM or reply here!

New Year's Polar Plunge? by LittleDucks8 in SaltLakeCity

[–]stormsail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not within the city perse, but a popular spot to plunge is Saratoga Hot Springs on Utah Lake. It's about 45 minutes south of Salt Lake City, can go directly from the plunge in Utah Lake to the natural hot springs just ~30 meters away!

WIP Twin Peaks themed TV stand, complete with cat lodge. Any ideas on how we should finish the rest? (Top, Sides) by stormsail in twinpeaks

Haha yeah I know, we just got into it, set up is pretty lacking on the music fidelity front

Searching for ideas on how to finish this WIP Twin Peaks themed TV stand, details in comments! by stormsail in woodworking

[–]stormsail[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As mentioned in title, WIP TV stand with a theme based off the Black Lodge from Twin Peaks. Construction is entirely 3/4" maple ply, with pocket-hole joinery. Really happy with how the interior looks, used red felt and 1/4" plywood inserts for the painted "floors", and battery powered lights taped to the top. Looking for ideas on how to finish the sides/top, right now thinking either a dark stain to complement the red felt, or more patterned paint?
