The article linked in the OP mentions them ... and I think they're an ingenious idea (i.e., "brilliant" in the UK). There are a few stores that do that here in the US, and homeless or other less-well-off people are known to fetch carts left in the parking lot by the original "renters" that couldn't be bothered to turn them in for their deposits. Lazy people pay a self-imposed tax, the unfortunates earn a small windfall (cynically ... maybe enough to buy a small cheeseburger off the dollar menu), and the stores save money by not having to hire cart fetchers at minimum wage.
Charities also sell tokens to release the trolley, for the same price as the coin to release the trolley.

Discord links are so weird. You can create an invite link and set it to never expire, but they still seem to go bad anyway.
Here's a new one: https://discord.gg/cy66Fa5 -
With the current hosting plan coming to an end, I decided to give Discord a try and was impressed with it's community features. I don't think we have an activity level currently that warrants a dedicated website and forums. As much as I love forums, they just aren't appealing to most users any more. Apps like Discord are too easy to use and too many features to join different websites. I'm still new to Discord, if anyone would like to be an admin and give me a hand with moderation and other fun stuff, please let me know.
I setup a Discord server for TGA there, you can join here: https://discord.gg/WWYpEK
I'll try to send old TGAers on Steam the link, maybe they will join us as well.
Hope to see you there

So ... I bought a new flat griddle pan for the stove top, and made a small batch of bacon for breakfast yesterday. The new pan has a ceramic non-stick coating (new to me) rather than teflon. The instructions said to use a light coat of vegetable oil rather than non-stick spray, and I did. I soon realized that I need to level my stove, because I had migrating bacon. It would start on one side of the pan and then migrate to the other by the sizzling action. I'd put them back and sure enough migration commenced again. I had not encountered that before. The pan was definitely "non-stick". The task seemed somewhat Sisyphean, but soon enough the bacon finished cooking and all was well. It was awesome as usual.
The down side to using a stove top griddle is that the bacon oils splatter further than if the bacon is cooked in a frying pan with taller sides. So a little bit of extra clean up is required.
(number of times the word "bacon" appears in this post = six, including the one in quotes)

Well, usually it's somewhat easy to save some when we just have sammiches for breakfast. Believe it or not, you CAN have too much bacon on a sandwich. So there's always some left.
HOWEVER...
I like your idea much betterer. I'll just have two sandwiches.

Most carts (or Shopping Trolleys, as they are known in most civilised countries), in the UK have a deposit system. You insert a pound coin to release it from the one in front, and you get that pound back when you return it.

Damn. Well, you have talked about burnout for awhile now. I kinda of felt the same way when I was writing/blogging about hockey... eventually, the fire goes out and the passion wanes. That said, don't be a total stranger. -
I loved seeing pauper on camera, but it also showed that why WOTC wouldn't want it to be on video more often: The matches took for-ev-er. MTGO forces players to click and play fast, especially Dinrova Tron and the like... those paper matches had a lot of moving parts and really did drag.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who despises social media. There are definitely cliques and if you aren't in one of them or align yourself with what they think like a lemming, it will make it much harder to get your content out there. Lots of the bigger creators talk about 'muh community' but it's all lip service. With one click to share a link or a post from another creator would expose that content to thousands of people. They don't owe anyone anything, of course. They don't have to do anything to help anyone else, but don't talk about how much you love the community and how much you want to help and do next to nothing to help new creators or creators who have been grinding for years but just need that one click to push them over the edge. Twitter especially is such a cesspool of negativity and drama. Creating content is tough, and I have the utmost respect for those of you who put in the time, money and energy to create content that most of the time goes unnoticed by most players. It's too bad, because theres so much great stuff out there that doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm glad some of you still create content because I enjoy it and know there are others out there who do too. -
Well, like any draft, if you can't decide on a path early enough, you end up thin on playables. It hurts a bit more in a multicolour set because if you draft Orzhov or Simic cards and end up Azorius, you may have dead cards you can't play without good fixing, even worse if I had picked up Gruul. The lack of 5 guildgates (from the other set) means splashing only works for certain combos I also probably ended up passing good Azorius cards. I was the only true Azorius player, but the guy who went 4-colour gates had a few of the cards I would have loved to have.

If you don't decide on a guild and spread out a little, does it spread you too thin?
