My understanding of MTG rules is a bit rusty. Does “sacrifice” only apply to the player’s creatures in play? Or, could you target an opponent’s creature?
I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.
Speaking of “paying 10% for the privilege”, one of the things irked me was my dad’s insistence that tithes had to be monetary. Per him, volunteer work didn’t count.
I was roped into running the computer, or doing the sound, for all 5 services Saturday + Sunday, plus practice before hand. 16 hour commitment twice a month.
My day job was only 20 hours/wk back then, so in terms of time, my volunteer work was ~30% of all my work. Yet my dad still insisted I payed 10% of the taxed cash I received…

The problem I’m going to assume applies here is the same as why we can’t train self-driving cars with a simulation. It’s a paradox; if the simulation was robust enough to train cars for the real world, then creation of the simulation itself WOULD be the solution since it already knows all the rules and correct reactions.
In other words, I’m sure they got their simulation to work, within the confines of a limited, non-paradoxical, error-prone programming.
My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.
My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!
That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing “missing” is the definition of which qualities you shouldn’t discriminate against. But that’s now generalized into “groups of people”.
I still can’t discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can’t discriminate against “pineapple on pizza eaters”.
That’s a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi’s and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.
Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.
I just replied this to another commenter, but that’s a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi’s and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.

Hmm, OSM is perhaps the biggest base for alternative navigational software. Seems like a huge design flaw.
I’m obviously oblivious to the implementation difficulties, but it seems like it should be extremely simple to add something akin to a “temporarily closed until” field, so that uses can set and forget, and it’ll resolve itself without a secondary edit.
That way, offline users can ignore this field, and nav software must use it.
My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:
Short Press: Sleep/Wake
Long Press: Assistant
In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.

Funny to see Rivian on here. It’s valid. But their IPO was just bonkers.
In this case the loss isn’t an indicator of failure, just an adjustment of valuation. They’ve got half a decade of cash on hand (thanks to their bonkers IPO, lol), and they’ll be cashflow positive, and even profitable, well before then. 5head move there.

Title. Curious if I should get a Twitch account or not as currently I only have YouTube. Not sure if I want another corpo ad machine in my life.
