FOLKS! InfoWars' HogWater is now REAL. It was created by the master swine sommeliers at Marz Brewing Company in Chicago. It makes your bones feel big and hot! Also, if you sign up for a membership at Riotfest this weekend (or are already a member), you get HogWater for free at The Onion tent!

I tried to give @magic.wizards.com $240 today but they wouldn't take my money. Would have happily bought $$$$ worth of boxes of this Zeta set, even with 7 card packs, because it looks fun to draft and has nostalgic cards. I haven't seen anything else worth buying from wotc this year.

Looks like a Stargate to me

Photo of UFC Stadium under construction at the White House at such an angle that it resembles a Stargate with caption edited to say "Construction begins on Stargate d.c. at white house".

Top8'd the @themanavault.bsky.social December Legacy 1K with Turbo Doomsday. I think Fluster might not be good enough without Reanimator around, and Hide On the Ceiling should be Sheoldreds. I suspect the format is fast enough I want to cut the 2nd Surveil land and a fetch for the 4th sea.

Not sure how I came to be here, but what is a DAG in this context? I’m guessing this isn’t Directed Acyclic Graph, but my google is poised with CompSci stuff.

Finished 3rd place out of 108 at the @BcdLegacy win a Mox Jet open. On 3 hours of sleep pretty happy with my performance. Shout out to @ecobaronen for the list and notes. Good for 2 really clean tropical islands.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

The solution is having disruption of your own plus leylines and a combo kill. This means Breakfast, SnT, and Doomsday. Else you need to be on something that interacts on t1 when otp. If people so that oops is gonna lose a lot of 50/50 games and it already mulls to oblivion a decent percentage.

Upgraded my ITA Tabernacle into EN and bought a UNL Time Vault with my winnings. Also met @boshnroll.bsky.social

`std::bitset<32> b; b.set(3);` vs `uint32_t b = 0; b |= 1 << 3;` who wore it better? One of these has been burned into my brain since I was 14.

You ever forget `do {} while ()` exists while writing c++? Happened to me. Used goto instead and...it was fine I guess. Same with std::bitset, I forgot about it. I should spend more time actually writing c++ so I don't make silly mistakes and then I won't have to explain bit twiddling during review.

It was a sad day today. I deleted my tweets, likes, and friends on the app formerly known as Twitter. Oh I saved an archive first, but I manually deleted the few hundred accounts I had followed and have tried to migrate the follows to mastodon or bsky. Like finding an old diary, the bad and the good

Preprocessor embed is in C++26. You can go bother your vendors to put it in. The offset parameter may make it through as well, meaning it will go in fully complete and not need a second standards revision to patch the offset(3) parameter in. It's finally, truly, over.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

Easily completing my 7th grade math workbook in the first couple weeks of school so I wouldn't have homework. The teacher figured out what I had done, confiscated my workbook, and then gave me a detention every time I told ber that she already had my homework twice a week for the rest of the year.

2/2 Having the data is nice, but it doesn't look nice. This feels like the place where I ignore my own advice and go into a macro sugar high then my app dies in a sugary coma. Cya on the other side!

I've been writing a lot of Clojure lately, for the first time in 7 years. It's amazing to the speed of retit+mali, but I miss the aesthetics of compojure-api and schema. 1/2

Premodern 1K is coming up this weekend in Milwaukee at Mana Vault and I'm trying to figure out if I'm playing Survival Elves with lots of Elvish Champion or Doomsday (which is bad, but hilarious). Do I want to win or do I want to play Dark Ritual? I believe these are mutually exclusive.
