For the curious, the article actually goes into detail on a new polymer experiment to make something that ACTS like non-Newtonian fluids -- the summary makes it seem like said fluids were the discovery rather than the inspiration.

I primarily play cEDH, so be aware I have some biases during deck building and take my advice with a grain of salt.

In my experience, the rule of thumb is the more consistency you want in a deck the more tutors you should be running. I know you mentioned wanting to preserve the power level of your deck and that means to me that your deck will always be inconsistent -- some games you'll draw a god hand, some games you won't.

As an alternative to more filtering or protection, have you considered adding in disruption to your opponent's setups? Again, power level considerations might be a problem here but things like Massacre Girl or wheel effects might help you into a more stable position early.

I also always favor free interaction in blue to defend your key pieces, but that has the power problem and the consistency problem -- running one or two pieces of free interaction (E.g. Force of Will, etc.) won't help too much on average if you don't have ways to find them.

At the end of the day, I think I'd lean into disruption in any spellslinger type deck like Kess in order to reach a position where you can leverage your yard to outmaneuver your opponents.

"Give" you pearls? That's socialism!

Read the book and watched the show. Both are fantastic in their own rights, very different ways to consume the story with some differences that fit well for their medium.

I work in the medical industry in IT and I'm younger. Trust me. In some industries, fax machines are unfortunately alive and well.

"SCRATCHING AT THE DOOOOOOOR!"

Been just thinking about one of my favorite SNES era games -- Illusion of Gaia. If you're doing emulation, highly recommend. I'm in the process of picking up a SNES and functioning cart to play it myself for the first time in a decade.

I mean, I want more Star Wars games from companies that aren't EA, so this looks like them telling me exactly what I want.

Does it count as "without advertisements" if the post is made by an account with just this post advertising it?

Hey there. Went through something similar about five years ago now. For me, the path to testing was through depression and anxiety therapy. Went to sessions for about a year exploring CBT with no success, and I kept mentioning my issues focusing. Eventually my therapist recommended looking into medication, and had added ADHD to my diagnosis. The meds specialist I saw immediately recommended treatment via Vyvanse. I know this isn't a straightforward path and might not work for you, but it got me to the point where there was at least some progress instead of constantly being stonewalled. A heads up, if you're dealing with depression around your exhaustion and focus issues getting treatment for ADHD isn't a cure all. I'm still working on a lot to try to get back to a healthy place. But it definitely makes it easier to work your way forward. Best of luck.

Recovering fat guy here. Was 335 last year, down to 188 now. This is exactly it. I don't have that feeling at all. When I eat the only thing that tells me to stop is when I'm physically incapable of eating any more. Realizing that some people have that switch was a big part of what helped me figure out what I needed to do to lose weight. I have to count the calories of every single thing I eat and make sure it doesn't add up to more than I need in energy for the day. If I don't, I'll end up right back where I started.
