The scheme overall sucks, but limiting to 1 ea per price point at least gives more people a chance to get in at lower prices.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

That's why I think you need to give it a baby hippo treatment.

That feels like it's well beyond a 1/1.

We've entered that "past catching up with you" phase of chaotic travel and it's been extremely difficult keeping my eyes open last night and today.

I don't feel like I'm getting sick. I'm just exhausted.

Thought about this a lot and my issue is around the 10yr timeframe.

It simultaneously feels like forever ago but also just yesterday - while the playerbase was also absolutely huge then but it's grown SO MUCH since.

My gut says things are very different, my brain says it's probably about the same.

Back in Boston.

Got to sleep for about 4.5 hours. Should be good for the day.

A thankfully uneventful trip.

Boarding my 2nd redeye in 3 days.

Letโ€™s see how this one goes. Itโ€™s at least departing on time and not 3 hours late like last time.

Iโ€™m more than ready to pull my hat down over my eyes and pass the fuck out.

They should stop the unique cards in SLD drops and return to print on demand.

The problem is thereโ€™s zero commitment as to when โ€œdown the lineโ€ could happen. And until it does, supply will remain low.

Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. Itโ€™s just the promise of violence thatโ€™s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army.

Some group of young 20-something talking each other up to start singing stuff in the terminal while we wait for our 2.5hr delayed flight.

โ€œYouโ€™ll never see these people againโ€ is apparently good enough justification to annoy the shit out of everyone around you?

I clocked somewhere between 4-5 hours of snow removal today.

Not the most enjoyable way to spend my time, but I can't help but think if this were a couple years ago, I'd be physically dead.

It's very rewarding to get in shape, especially when you can feel the difference.

Still... fuck winter.

Because it's been a hard week, I thought I would re-post one of the things that lightened my own mood, this interview with a young dinosaur enthusiast in @chicagomag.com.

Does this mean all the UB stuff on earth is in play for one deck or are we treating turtle earth separate from marvel earth?

Dominaria probably gives you the most cards by a mile, right?

Strong opening for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

Let's see where this goes.

I leveled up my "only grocery shop at 7pm on a Sunday" lifehack with "during a snow storm" and it did not disappoint.
