I was just thinking this morning that it’s kinda odd that there’s no cell phone that also doubles as a multi-meter for measuring electronic current. I guess it’s because in theory you’d need to also carry around a set of probes with you?

Honestly, this starts out strong. Have a conversation - do you have mass land denial, extra turns, or fast/2 card infinite combos? But then we get to the game changers section, and it feels like they kinda ran out of steam and just said “we don’t like these cards”. I don’t specifically disagree with the list, but there’s too many similar cards that aren’t listed, because - well, where do you draw the line? It would make more sense to focus on function (Fast mana, Tutors, etc.), and THEN provide examples for guidance. And they do sort-of do this at the bottom of the article, but it gets muddy fast. Which is why everyone is looking at the list of “game changer” cards instead. And already mapping out the next best in slot replacements.

Also, ‘Sol Ring should be on this list, but it isn’t, because dad said so’ is not the wining argument they think it is.

I have been slowly working on replacing the motor in my truck. Took Friday off from work & made a lot of progress. I’m approaching that point where it actually looks like it might run again.

Thanks for this one! I was wondering why it wasn’t here yet.

For those of you debating to click the link - there’s a smallish vehicle in the original Halo called a Warthog. It had some very goofy physics when it blows up. Dude decided to play with grenades for a bit, and from there it just gets Michael Bay silly.

I buy cheap blue jeans, usually from Amazon or Walmart. Wrangler has a sub-brand called Rustler that was on sale recently. Turns out they fit me really well, so bought a bunch. I doubt they’ll last more than a couple of years, but I also have a bad habit of “accidentally” working on cars without changing into my work clothes. So my jeans are usually ruined by dirt & grease stains long before they actually wear out.

10 hours, but I’m also a fatty.

Back in college, my buds & I did a road trip across America, so of course we stopped at the Grand Canyon. Breakfast was just a peanut butter & bread “sandwich”, at which point we started hiking down the canyon. If you’ve ever been, they have numerous signs saying “Do not go past this point unless you are packing food”. But hey, we’re college kids, and we’re not going to go THAT much farther… Long story short, that night the rangers had to chaperone us as we fucking crawled back out. One of us ‘got’ to ride in a helicopter to the medical building. For the other 3 of us who could still move, they manged to find a dusty MRE at the last way station. That was the absolute best chicken & pea soup in a tin foil bag I have ever eaten in my life.

My tiny contribution here is to look things aimed at commercial use, not consumer grade. For example, next time you need to buy a can opener, buy it from a restaurant supply shop instead of Amazon or Walmart.

My sun lamp/alarm clock wakes me up to artificial sunlight every morning at 5am. Is it actually a technological breakthrough from the last decade? Probably not. But in that timeframe, it’s become mainstream enough to be consumer-grade affordable.

I got perma-banned from reddit for logging in from out of state.

$4.30 / dozen. Atlanta, GA.

I was on a Ford reddit forum. OP was pissed that their timing belt (chain?) broke, and was convinced that the repair shop she had previously went to had sabotaged her motor. I commented that these things do in fact break, and that the shop might not have been the culprit. Holy Downvotes Batman.

Kept the left over floor tiles. Nearly 30 years later I needed to replace one, had a box ready to go.

I was shocked they didn’t call it a Thunderbird.

“Dogmeat has died”.

Oh no he fucking has not. Reload.

Toe Jam & Earl. As a kid, it seemed just endlessly creative, you could just explore & explore forever. And the shit humor - I was the exact right age where every joke was a banger. Although the game itself would be badly dated today, I bet the music holds up well, albeit in short bursts. I still get snippets stuck in my head.

At first I assumed this was the Onion, as we all know damn well there’s no high speed passenger trains in America.

Doing a quick Googling, I see Brightline’s average speed is 69 MPH. /sigh. And folks wonder why we’re so car-centric here.

Cool I guess.

Let me know when it goes on sale. Tired of being teased with cool electric vehicles we don’t actually get.

(Skyrim). I was today years old when I learned that having a giant camp with a bunch of mammoth’s right next to a series of hot springs might be a reference to something.

Publix. They’re in that middle bracket where I can still afford to shop there and yet they also seem to pay their employees a living wage.
