The Dino deck is real and green can be good but I think in a vacuum it's got the least efficient cards.

I think Inverted Iceberg is better than average for the first two copies in slower U/W/B decks. But I would avoid playing it in the faster U decks, like UW fliers or UR artifacts

I think you are right and caves are just a trap and not worth it. Maybe with two of the red cave sweeper and two of the lifelink leech there is a chance but anything less than that is just not worth it. I'd love to be proved wrong though since new land types are cool.

I remember MTGGoldfish did this a few episodes back too and iirc they had to ask ChatGPT 3 or 4 times and it still never made a legal list.

I would never use AI to make a deck when EDHRec exists - you're better off just using the Average Deck function, though that is just gonna lead you to playing staples too.

Yeah, free tier only lets you have 3 total calendars and there is no color coding available so it's limited compared to Google which is what I was leaving. But export/import was seamless and it seems a good stepping stone to replace the one-click cloud megacorp offerings. Your stack seems perfect for when I have the time to get Nextcloud going.

I haven't stepped up to using Nextcloud or my own hosted server, so I'm just using Proton Calendar. The free version is pretty limited though.

The claim doesn't seem right. We do spend far more on healthcare than other nations overall and our taxed spending on healthcare seems comparable to other rich nations like Japan, though that's only a fraction of our total spending - most is private cost. Quick back of napkin math says taxes directly spend ~4k a year/capita on healthcare expenses, mostly Medicare, and single-payer systems tend to cost about ~6k total. Data is a little old. Correct me if I'm reading wrong.

Le Guin prose is exceptional and would be nearly impossible to bring to screen well. I'm sure it will be tried at some point. Maybe a dark horse, but I actually think The Lathe of Heaven might be the most adaptable. It's the simplest story and has plenty of room for exciting changes and visuals in a film.

For folks reading through these comments, it's called DeArrow and is also crowdsourced, so the more users the better!

Thanks for crossposting, @[email protected]. 36k active is more than I would have guessed but most people are probably on the low end for comments/posts. But I am happy that 4 months later Lemmy has proven active enough to stand on its own, at least for me. It sounds like .zip is stable on donations for now but I will likely contribute again in the future. Keep up the good work!

The Garamantes are cool and notable for not being based around a river at all. I got introduced to them when they were added as a civ in the strategy game Humankind.

Another fascinating rabbit hole about the world's largest irrigation project in the same region: Libya's Great Man-Made River
