I'm happy to see anything go up here. Be warned that the more random stuff you post the more you encourage ecclectisists like me to write random stuff and try to get you put it on the front page.

Yeah, well, uh... see, I'm the type of person who always wants to dive into something super deep and then move on to something else. Make it to Masters League in Starcraft then dump it out of the blue one day, never to play again. I like writing, but my interest in writing Magic stuff is waning at the moment.
Well I for one like the idea of learning more about theros limited. Bestow value and explosive heroic pump plays sound like completely different ends of the spectrum.
I am curious about your review of OKCupid because I use (or view) that site very differently depending on my mood.
I'm also on card like 300 of my 400 card cube list and I'm sorta running out of steam so I might be calling upon our greatest minds here. I really have no problem with this being your article dump either. Especially if it's something that is vaguely relevant to my interests or might push me toward new ones.
Also the your being married thing vs rating the youth dating page makes me super curious, though that is probably none of my bees wax. I guess whenever I hear anything remotely conflicting about people I don't know too well my ears perk up!

This sentence is not entirely accurate anymore.
Bummer. My condolences, whatever happened.

Nothing bad, we're still friends. We got married too young and grew into different people. Life moves on.

Yeah, I'm glad you've found someone you could find that sort of bond or whatever with. I hope it wasn't too disruptive or stressful. Man young divorce is such a recurring theme in my life right now, I guess it's that first marriage meme or something sarcastic romantic comedies are always mentioning.
Now I'm even more curious about how OKC (I love making Oklahoma City - Okcupid Sports ball jokes) is treating ya.

Yeah, I chatted with Eric about it. He's pretty much imploring me to write a review of the site. In short, I think it's the perfect place for a young nerd foreign divorcee to be. Especially if you are capable of entertaining yourself by writing ridiculous messages.
Maybe I could lend my weight to this series, though I'm not entirely too sure how great use I've made of the function. I've made a bunch of friends on there, but not really found any partnership. I do have a habit of sleeping with all my friends though so maybe that's still a thing, but I wouldn't say okcupid had anything to do with that.
At this point I feel like I know more about you than I'm comfortable with.

I thought I was the only person that liked to make stupid puns about OKC, the place so shitty they gave it to the Indians in the 19th century, and OKC, the dating website. huh
Oddly enough I've written an article about the latter but I'd have to add some gaming language to make it RiptideLab vintage quality. FWIW I've also made a female account and my OKC date from last night and I agreed that it was 'worth my time' to date women but not men from OKC. She also had within recent history gone on a date with another MTG player, whom after sixty seconds I was able to guess worked at Amazon and sometimes played FNM with us.
What I'm saying is this could be a fun article.

Just reading an amusing idea that Blockhead has about dating sites: http://phatfriend.com/2013/09/19/the-bestworst-idea-of-all-time/, it seems kinda topical. Mind you, I don't know anything about OKCupid except it's a dating site, so maybe this is actually completely unrelated.
CML is probably some super intelligent machine that is constantly disappointed with our inability to follow his sometimes subtle, sometimes vast leaps. I'm sure they are all beautiful and apt but our ape minds just aren't made for his level of artistry.
Sorta reminds me of the Culture novels.

TALMUDIC COMMENTARY
dilettante of dilettantes -- a double negative per ecclesiastes. you're half-assing being half-assed.
one time i wrote a novel and then did nothing with it. this has actually happened twice. doing something with it is so much more daunting than just writing it.
brave new world is the civ5 expansion. deity is the hardest difficulty.

So is counterflux the N to N+1 step in the induction proof that is digesting that sentance?
Well right now I'm taking part in a London 48 hour film challenge. It's 6:24 am and we still have plenty of footage to shoot. When that's done me and this one guy are gunna leg it across town on the first trains, figure out how to use the recording studio in my uni radio studio and record our outro song. Then at 12 I go on air as usual. I was up till 7am on friday night writing the script with some people, haven't slept tonight, and the film is due in at 7:30pm today.
Edit: will dise t whatever the hell you guys are talking about some other time. After some sleep, hopefully.

This is a question for my Cube, but I know other people run similar setups and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. At the moment I have the 20 fetches/20 [duals/shocks] configuration, supplemented with a variety of lands for each colour pair (some filters, some manlands, some bouncelands, etc). Most of those fill fairly unique roles so I'm happy with them. My problem is that colour combos like R/W, B/W, U/G still have comparatively poor manafixing; does it make sense iyo to just add another fetch or dual in those colour combos, and, if so, which? (i.e. does 3 Sacred Foundry 2 Arid Mesa helps R/W decks more than 3 Arid Mesa 2 Sacred Foundry? Yes, right?)
