40 months is just 3y 4mo. Do people get new phones every two years or something? I usually just get a new one when my old one’s not working for me anymore.

A full license still costs more than the whole machine, assuming you just want to buy a license. The machine you bought probably had an OEM license on it though, which is priced differently. Also, there are cheaper places to buy Windows keys online, so nobody should really be spending $200 on a license for their home machine.

Why it costs $200 for pro and they still try to sell you shit in the settings menu is beyond me. I’m still on the hunt right now for a Linux distro I like that isn’t a nightmare to maintain with a modern NVIDIA GPU though, so I’m stuck with it for now.

For what it’s worth, on Windows, AppData\Roaming is intended to be shared across devices to some extent (there’s more nuance but the point being I’d be less worried about syncing data from there).

You should also include the standardized name of the body the coordinates are relative to. Need to be able to differentiate between lat/long on Jupiter vs on Earth (where lat/long are much more “crunched” aka more precise with shorter floats).

This will be important if intelligent extraterrestrial life is found, or when Musk ships himself to Mars for the good of humanity.

Now we get to see how many of them quit shortly after trying their favorite cards in standard and getting rolled over in 3-4 turns.

UB is one thing, but I really don’t get how these cards will see play in any deck outside of brawl. I guess if winrate doesn’t matter then you can play whatever you want though.

Fearmongering about election fraud is the Republican party’s job. Until there is evidence of this being a consistent pattern across the country, there is no reason for me to assume it’s a problem that isn’t just in that county.

2020 did happen though, so it wouldn’t surprise me too much. But there isn’t enough evidence of that yet in 2024 to start throwing out accusations.

This seems to be localized to a single county in NY from what I could tell. Always good to go after real cases of election fraud, but the headline is a bit misleading if this really is just a single county.

While I doubt that would happen, my guess is either nothing happens, ot DJT is removed and the next successor (Vance) takes his place. I can’t imagine them doing a new election for any reason without a new amendment.

Not a huge fan of the smell either, but I’ll second hand weed over cigarettes any day.

Honestly just CNAME gatherer to Scryfall and call it a day. Scryfall is so much better than WOTC’s implementation, and competing against it seems pointless if they can somehow find a way to collaborate instead.

According to cppreference:

Unless otherwise specified, all standard library objects that have been moved from are placed in a “valid but unspecified state”, meaning the object’s class invariants hold (so functions without preconditions, such as the assignment operator, can be safely used on the object after it was moved from)

I would expect this to be true of all types. An easy way to do this is to null an internal pointer, set an internal fd to a sentinel, etc and check for that when needed, but this could be an easy source of errors if someone’s not paying attention.

Ideally it would be statically checked if a value is used after being moved, but that’s just my Rust brain speaking.

School busses, at least in my region (and it appears in the image this is true as well), have flashing red lights at the top to indicate that traffic must stop. The stop sign also comes out, but it’s the flashing red lights that should be a dead giveaway to anybody driving.

In my region, they also have flashing yellow lights before they stop, indicating that traffic should slow down and prepare to stop.

Edit: and I should add that the expectation is that traffic stops in all lanes, both directions. Being in a different lane or off to the side makes no difference.

Truly autonomous driving already exists. It’s called trains.

Anyone trying to sell fully autonomous cars is severely underestimating the complexity of driving. Under highly controlled conditions, it may be possible, but I doubt these people are programming edge cases like planes crashing onto freeways and severe hail. There are far too many times when it takes good judgement to handle a situation properly.

Still, I’m all for the progress this has made towards helping people drive safer. But the best solution is to just stop using cars IMO, just that it’d be problematic to force that for a number of reasons.

This is correct - all meld cards that exist have this requirement. It does not require that in the CR though as far as I can tell, so a theoretical future card might not have that restriction.

Also, I guess if you rule 0’d in ante cards for some reason, then sure.

Not a judge, so take with a grain of salt, but I don’t see why a creature can’t be more than one player’s commander at the same time. 903.3b would apply twice here - one for each commander that was part of the pair.

So basically, if my reading is correct, combat damage dealt by the melded creature would be treated as commander damage by both of its components. 8 damage from an attack would be 8 commander damage from each (16 commander damage total, but split between both commanders as 8 and 8).

I’m not suggesting that MTGA should be a rules reference, just that it agrees with the commenter.

I haven’t found anywhere in the CR that really mentions this interaction. The closest I found was 608.2f which doesn’t really apply here since it’s not an action being taken on multiple players/objects, but that rule says to create the tokens simultaneously if possible (and I would think it’s possible to create multiple tokens simultaneously since order here doesn’t matter).

Edit: …per prevention event, if that wasn’t clear. So each time damage is prevented.

For what it’s worth, testing on MTGA, Brass’s Bounty + Peregrin Took creates only one food token despite the wording:

For each land you control, create a Treasure token.

It’s not exactly the same, but does seem to support the idea that each damage event creates that many tokens simultaneously rather than that many token-creation events.

This is the text for Inkshield for context:

Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to you this turn. For each 1 damage prevented this way, create a 2/1 white and black Inkling creature token with flying.

Not a judge, but I’d imagine it works the way you described. The way it’s worded implies that it’s multiple events creating tokens, once per damage prevented. Since you’re creating 1 token multiple times, you apply the replacement to each event.

Would be curious to hear a judge’s take on this though.

I would expect it to use CRLF (on Windows) for all new newlines unless I tell it otherwise. It shouldn’t try to be smart about it. It should just do exactly what I tell it to do and nothing more.

Where do you draw the line on “smart” features? Tab should not add indent spaces? Encoding or newline mechanisms? Determining EOF newline?

For a very basic default editor, I would expect it to include only what I typed, no “smart” features, no IDE features, nothing else, and use CRLF (on Windows) for newlines with at most a setting to configure it in the editor for that session.

Basically, I wouldn’t expect anything more than what nano does. If I want a fancy CLI editor, I’ll install one. At its core though, it should exist only to edit the text content of a text file and do nothing else. It should be as stable as possible, and have as little scope as possible, in my opinion.

With that said, basic text editing features, like undo/redo and cut/copy/paste would be nice. Bonus points if it even works with the system clipboard.

Edit: to add to the question of whether an automatic newline should be added, Windows has no requirement for terminating text documents with newlines, so I would not expect one. What happens in POSIX environments by tools written for those environments seems irrelevant here - if a valid text document in POSIX must be terminated by a newline, then a text editor there would naturally be expected to add one, or at least support adding one, but that has nothing to do with Windows.
