saw this on facebook. i don't even play magic lol does this do what I think it does?

MTG card "Spell Crumple", Instant.

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered tgis way, put it on the bottom of it's owner's library instead of into that player's graveyard. Put Spell Crumple on the bottom of its owner's library

MTG card "Tunnel Vision". Sorcery.

Name a card. Target player reveals cards from the top of their library until the named card is revealed. If it is, that player puts the rest of the revealed cards into their graveyard and puts the named card on top of their library, Otherwise the player shuffles their library.

Trader Joe's takes California and the west coast, but Aldi has a far greater presence in the East and Midwest

I just finished reading 'Unsong' by Scott Alexander and HOLY SHIT it is a book I went into this knowing next to nothing about Kabbalism, theodicy, or rationalism, but still throughly enjoyed it. I plan to reread it after reading William Blake.

Amazon listing book overview:
Aaron Smith-Teller works in a kabbalistic sweatshop near San Francisco, where he and hundreds of other minimum-wage workers try to brute-force the Holy Names of God.

All around him, the forces of Good and Evil move their pieces into play for the final confrontation. An autistic archangel and his eight-year-old apprentice try to debug the laws of physics. A dark lord in Las Vegas claims to be the reincarnation of a heretical Talmudic rabbi. A magicless Mexican hedge wizard masters the terrifying art of placebomancy. A band of Silicon Valley billionaires charter the world's fastest ship to find God and tell Him exactly what He is doing wrong. The Messiah-King of the American West organizes a military coalition against the Devil.

Aaron doesn't care about any of this. He and his friends are engaged in something far more important – griping about magical intellectual property law. But when a chance discovery brings them to the attention of the mysterious United Nations Subcommittee On Names of God (UNSONG), they find themselves caught in a web of plots, crusades, and prophecies leading inexorably to the end of the world.

If you had one plane, one choice of plane you could fly, what would you pick? (i am choosing to include autogyros in the definition of plane)

Pitbull ultralight gyroplane, a rare modern example of a tractor-configuration autogyro.

absolutely no clue how i ended up here, but some of the questions had no good answer at all. either i felt strongly about several options but was forced to pick one, or every option was off the mark like, the one about non-religious transcendent experiences; mine was playing an MMO with friends!

the biggest problem with baby yoda is that Jim Henson company wasn't involved i have been rewatching Farscape (for the first time since watching it live) and it's ridiculous how easy it is to believe Rigel is a real person. not just the quality of the puppet, but the performance of it.

guests are encouraged to share with strangers the cave ceilings and walls are decorated with accurate reproductions of real cave art, as interpreted by local artists. there is also provided a sort of pigment so visitors can add their own handprint to the walls, if desired 2/2

picture of Cueva de las Manos (cave of hands) in Argentina, from Wikipedia. we don't know why prehistoric peoples painted their hands on cave walls, but it's a motif that shows up mire than once

there's an auction place near me that occasionally has electric cargo tuk-tuks and every time I see them I am tempted to bid. the cargo bed is only about 3ft x 5ft so it wouldn't really replace the pickup truck, but I hate driving this noisy smelly monstrosity

an electric cargo trike, rickshaw or tuk-tuk (depending in who you ask)

it is like what happens when a motorcycle and a pickup truck really love each other

here's a 32x128 texture I made for my Ocarina of Time romhack. its nothing special, but I am proud of learning the process. this was made by modeling a small village in blender, then rendering it from the perspective the player would see it vanilla OoT is full of these sort of background textures

a cluster of vaguely medieval houses with green roofs and stone foundations, rendered in extremely low detail as a background texture the player will barely notice

I need everyone to see this fanart of Link by the artist Genzo (Gonzalo Ordoñez). I was trying to find some art by a real human of "buff link" and was not disappointed

Digital painting of Link, specifically the hero of time from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This is done by the artist Gonzalo Ordoñez also known as Genzo.
In the painting, Link is depicted as extremely muscled, with a large blonde beard and smoking a cigar. The style is reminiscent of a Boris Vallejo character.

This is really easy to check with google lens (which is not powered by generative AI). The article mentions sometimes using AI/GPT to help write kpop, but it does NOT contain the detail about specifically using it to write Soda Pop or any other song from kpop demon hunters

to be fair .30-06 shells are quite a bit larger than 9mm.

different types of bullets lined up from smallest to largest. The biggest bullet on the far right is a .30-06, while 9mm is the second-smallest on the left

I ran into the complexity limit, but I might try economizing a bit so I can focus on the details a bit more. It's so big I can't even see the engines on screen when I'm flying, and it seems to be glitched because it won't let me summon it to land. And one engine doesn't even light up.

i don't normally qt random responses five levels deep in a thread about the traffic problems of a city I don't live in but like, electric tuk tuks exist and they are fuckin' awesome we can make streets safer for everyone while improving parking availability by rejecting big heavy dumb cars

a small, 5 passenger electric tuk tuk, fully enclosed from the weather and capable of all your city driving needs

a larger electric tuk tuk in a pickup truck style. perfect for moving larger items such as furniture deliveries, while remaining compact for city use. The sides and tailgate all fold down to allow for moving oversized items.

a very cute electric tuk tukbin a European styling, with large cargo doors in the back. Perfect for package delivery and related services.

An RV electric tuk tuk. Not really practical for New York city, perhaps, but with the cost of housing maybe it's not so bad! This one comes with a gasoline range extender so you can travel further without plugging it in to recharge.

the boring answer is add a door, close up one window and put cabinet doors over the other. the space becomes a pantry with an easily accessible cabinet shelf for keeping the snacks

this is a true story that really happened tap to see full

16 panel crudely drawn comic about a fly having a very bad time

person says "stoopid fly!" and swats it
fly says "oof!"
"may day, may day!"
"right aileron mashed! hydraulics failing!"
"engine stalled! we're in a flat spin!"
"attempting repairs, prepare to restart engine!"
"landing gear down, BRACE FOR IMPACT!"

the fly skids to a halt

"we lived!"

person swats fly again, goes SPLAT!

yoooo this is the contraption Engywook used to study the gate to the Southern Oracle!

In a gap passing through a rough stone wall is two golden statues of Sphinxes, facing each other. Their wings are raised dramatically over their heads and their tits are out with prominent pointed nipples, which I always thought was odd for a kids movie but then again I never noticed that detail as a child so maybe it's no big deal. Anyway, this is the gate to the Southern Oracle from the film "The Neverending Story"

can't find the magazine ad I remember featuring the tattoo on her sweaty abs, but this was the boxart and pack-in poster.... for a 360° hoverbike shooter youtu.be/3d15v50RFic?... really bangin' sound direction tho

boxart for Forsaken 64
A sweaty, crying woman's face has a tattoo on her cheek of a heart with a dagger through it and wrapped in barbed wire that says "Forsaken"
The background is a colorless wasteland

same women from the boxart, except the tattoo is on her neck now, she's even sweaty-er, possibly topless, looking away from the camera
text reads "the future is FORSAKEN"
in the corner are logos for Acclaim Entertainment, Iguana studios, and the Nintendo 64

one ray of hope is that the fascist Project 2025 wing of the administration is gonna have a much harder time pushing through their agenda after the grifter capitalist billionaire wing of the administration crashes the economy people stop caring about purple hair when their bank account is red

The European Union, which was formed for the primary purpose of taking advantage of the United States on TRADE, has been very difficult to deal with. Their powerful Trade Barriers, Vat Taxes, ridiculous Corporate Penalties, Non-Monetary Trade Barriers, Monetary Manipulations, unfair and unjustified lawsuits against Americans Companies, and more, have led to a Trade Deficit with the U.S. of more than $250,000,000 a year, a number which is totally unacceptable. Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. There is no Tariff if the product is built or manufactured in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! 653 ReTruths 2.15k Likes 5/23/25, 7:43 AM

personally, I hope we never hear of Dedra ever again. just leave her in the oubliette and forget about her. but since Star Wars hates doing that, if they do bring her back then I hope they do something INTERESTING with her like maybe her time in prison radicalizes her into a space anarchist
