More accurately, “prior” is much less ambiguous than “last” and thus more likely to satisfy the predilections of a pedant.

Gosh I love the depth of pedantry available to descriptivists!

I’ve been obsessed with it!! The cooking is amazing and I love the philosophical bits that are woven through everything.

Are you worried the cooking focus might take a back seat as the current storyline proceeds?

This feels like a Ryan Gosling reskin of a 3Blue1Brown video 😅 (which I guess really isn’t even a little surprising… But it’s a chance spread the good word of Mr. Sanderson!)

I believe it is Paper Cassette! And yes, I feel very old.

Oh, I had no idea Shortyz was forked, I’m so glad there’s a maintained version thank you!

Mustard makes many things great ☺️ But I might also try this mayo and cheese combination you speak of, thank you stranger!

Don’t forget the mustard! Do you cut your slices in half of just cut out a sliver (to prevent bowing/cupping)? And are you one of those folks that add cheese??

Agreed, it’s definitely coming from the top! I didn’t realize they had closed a ton of the other offices during the pandemic, but I suppose it’s not surprising either. It also seemed like a lot of remote hiring happened during the pandemic?

Most of the people I know personally affected are in that category (remotely hired or relocated), and most of those people are women. Small sample size with lots of bias, but I’ve been pretty upset the whole situation. It definitely feels/looks like a way to quietly push a bunch of folks out… whether overtly or as a “bonus” for upper management, it has the same unfortunate effect.

I guess it is what it is, but what it is ain’t good. It feels good to commiserate though, thank you stranger!

So this is like an Austrian Cincinnati chili?

For some reason I really want to love Vienna sausages… but I just can’t. Maybe one day!

Thank you for the memory! The first “retail” card I ever purchased (from a small town computer shop), literally just said AGP Graphics Adapter on the box… and inside was a delightfully generic SiS board, with which I had many fun hours.

Noooo, Ferris don’t do it!

Hm, this does explain why Dory is so successful… just keep swimming!

But what about the consequences of avoiding the consequences??

I’m a bit surprised you thought of SMBus and not I2C! Although lord knows I’ve seen enough garbled and missing battery traffic from bad connectors, so who am I to say…

You are not alone… Manually unfocusing my eyes is a mainstay of pain relief for me!

Well, the human ones anyway…

You are reminding me that I used to keep a copy of Nesticle (for DOS!) on an AOL floppy, along with a couple of ROMs. I saved the fancy Imation Disney disks for my data 😅

Thank you for the flashback!

Agreed, themes of all kinds can be fun! And I’m loving everyone’s themes here. Most of my decks have a theme, though sometimes I sacrifice it for a little performance.

My three current favorites:

• Unionize : colorless, Assembly Worker tribal (took me a while to get that to work right! In particular [[Foundry Inspector]] + [[Self Assembler]] is fun)
• Red Wedding : black/red, vampire tribal with [[Edgar, Charmed Groom]] and [[Olivia, Crimson Bride]] (with almost all wedding themed cards)
• Ballroom Blitz : black/red, blitz ability aggro with graveyard return… basically “dancing” the cards between hand, graveyard, and battlefield (not the most efficient but pretty fun and efficient!)

It’s funny how many options you get for human tribal, but I guess that’s part of the point 😅 Do you make exceptions to your themes and include non-humans (like Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider)?

Do you like to use Jerren, Corrupted Bishop?
