my sixpack is in a cooler

Best towel you ever had, bitch!

Hm I just started dreaming up a self-mill Dimir deck that runs multiple wincons, focusing on self-mill Jace and Cauldron of Eternity. Can't get past them with your creatures even with the cheap reanimating? Just deck yourself with Jace out. I was already working on that Jace deck when I...

Current chattering online seems to place that chance at "better odds than you might think but still not a super great chance"

Lol Christ guys don't scare the guy away out of embarrassment, we're like the only positive influence in his life

"They might also be soulless corporate overlords, but they're the soulless corporate overlords I CHOOSE, dammit!"

Veil of Summer is okayish color hosing tech against both too, for those running green but not black. I was even running Veil of Summer main board towards the end of last season in BO1 since every deck I ran into was playing either blue or black.

@Sabbat and his GF have been the GOATs since we started sharing friend codes in this thread haha

Oh yeah, other news, too lazy to find a link but a few days ago Hulu announced they dropped their option for Gabriel Luna's Ghost Rider. No word yet on whether or not it can be picked up elsewhere.

maybe they're going to become AI developers? Checkmate AARON

and how. some places on earth terrify me too.

just saw this post. wow, that's terrifying. sounds like an initial generation full of sociopaths.

absolutely. for instance: same exact effect but non-repeatable, attached to a fragile enchantment, and without the option of turning your artifacts into elk, costs just one mana less. sure, yeah, gets a card, but meh.

Yup, wow, makes sense, but damn that's a lot to take in. Really adds to the likelihood that we're the first.

Saw that coming. Too much money to be made on both sides.

the cosmologists would ask you what it is about the current state of the universe that made it happen now rather than sometime in the past, since the current age of relative "calm" on the astronomical scale has been going on for awhile. of course, the answer could just be "that's just when the...

it's possible that the number of mass extinction events that have happened in Earth's history is precisely what led evolution towards intelligence. it's probably at least what led towards that "nature's Terminators" development. would be a bit of a mind fuck if one of the requirements for...

most experts would say that the fact that it took so long is the least believable thing about the idea, tho with a sample size of one it is literally impossible to know. maybe life truly is that rare (and if so, the state we've got the planet in now is infinitely more sad, but i digress...)

this is the first set release this year that i haven't had the money to drop at least a $20 on release. feels bad, tried the ladder and got raped by Oko a few times and gave up lol. played 5 of my free 12 games so far, brain storming a bit more before i finish my freebies, the opportunity to...

I suppose 3 million years is roughly "suddenly" in astronomical timelines, so I can't really argue with that in this thread

The more I've thought about it over the years, the more I've started to believe the "we're the first" answer to the Fermi Paradox. IMO it explains more than any other answer.

I got Zack's awakening. Already had Zidane's Awakening for wind stuff, and Zack is my physical wind chain holder, so hmmmm.... Nice but definitely making me think more than some other ones would. Also today I got Hope and Garnet's USBs with elemental damage reflect, but maybe they're newer...

With the rules of biology being what we know, it's pretty much inevitable that one species will rise to the top of any given ecosystem and destroy any competition it might have. Yeah, can't assume it's be the same on alienworld, but if it is then yeah

Been awhile since they've had a good season premiere, no? I think they are too used to the one-week turnaround times they have when making midseason episodes.... If they have too much time to think about the episode ahead of time they end up putting in too many ideas. Maybe they need to start...

Yeah eliminating doctor bias is a great goal. No subscription so I can't see the article, but I assume that the study didn't try to include the factors (like knowledge of patient history and bias based on physical appearance / physical factors that don't truly matter) that cause doctors to...

Couple recent news articles from earlier this week that were lost in the Fermi Paradox discussion: https://www.quantamagazine.org/troubled-times-for-alternatives-to-einsteins-theory-of-gravity-20180430/ https://www.newsweek.com/russia-wont-tell-nasa-iss-leak-1460696 Particularly that second...

Bumping this in case anyone cares about decluttering the Astronomy thread a bit, a couple Astronomy news items got buried under it at least.

Time for a bump? https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-fermi-paradox-where-is-everybody.9158/

second, i saw King Crimson live in Cleveland last night, my first time ever seeing them live. was in the third row, right side of the stage. i was excited to sit on that side since that's the side Fripp sits on, and i wanted to watch him play, but unfortunately he sat with his guitar neck...

first: there's a subreddit just for King Crimson fans who are also internet trolls. it's my new favorite thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/KingCrimsonCircleJerk/

Astrophysicists: gamma-ray jets exceed the speed of light Lol the fuck?

I read once that even a civilization that spread using the equivalent of our current rockets could saturate a pretty good chunk of the galaxy in a few million years -- a drop in the bucket compared to the billions of years the universe has been around for.

New theory for why Mars is barren: previously an advanced civilization lived there, and accidentally let a perchloric acid manufacturing plant's AI core achieve singularity level intelligence. The AI, being a perchloric acid producing AI, used it's newfound intelligence to figure out how to...

Perchlorates tend to be super corrosive too, so if this is recent information then everything they've thought up til now about combatting environmentally caused erosion is also considerably more difficult than previously realized.

I wonder how the soil ended up with so much perchlorate, seems really weird

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/25/arbys-owner-inspire-brands-buys-jimmy-johns.html When I read the article I Googled Inspire Brands because I was curious who else they own. On their Wikipedia page they list Buffalo Wild Wings, Rusty Taco, and Sonic Drive-In. At which point I went -- wait a...

It's still got the artificial sweetener taste of course, but it's got that mouth puckering moist yet tart mouth feeling that the Rockstar Punched Zero loses
