They said x=10i^2, not 10i. Difference is it equals -10, and they chose not to simplify.

Just spray them with a hose

They used it to create potions and spells that are equivalent to the medical industry, as well as the beauty industry, sports, frivolous things like that.

It's implied serious research goes on, but never really shown.

There's also wizard versions of cops, and government officials, naturally.

Magical knowledge replaces engineering and math as well. A civil engineer's building design equivalent would be a series of complicated spells put on a small building to make it a massive one inside.

Also in the books, Hogwarts was really only secret to the muggles, every wizard in Britain knows where it is.

But imagine all the high schoolers who complain "why do I need to learn algebra, I won't even need it in [job]. It's like that. Some won't need it, but it's still a useful skill.

Survivor started a lot more survival focused, it wasn't always a game show with a trapped on an island pretext.

It basically slowly flanderized itself into what it is today.

SCOTUS ruling doesn't apply here, they're just commenting on the general trend of people not willing to sentence trump to anything, seemingly.

Just means the new backup service has permissions off by default.

Since your company may not want that, enjoy the eternal Microsoft spam forever.

Unions don't work without a central state.

If there isn't an organization larger than a corporation making it keep to a line, a corporation will end up as a monopoly. If a line of work for certain skills is completely monopolized by one company, a union can't ever get bigger than them to enforce anything. Its a stalemate that the company can end by training scabs and a union can't end at all. That's assuming the company doesn't just start murdering Union heads which is probably the first thing they'd start to do without an organization larger than a company to call on.

Of course, maybe we could unionize everyone into a people's union, for the purposes of having a bigger entity than a corporation that can defend the people. Pay some Union dues to them to get some police-equivalent people to make companies toe the line. But corruption exists and while the USA isn't really for the people today, that is pretty much how the USA started.

Unions as we know them rely on regulations like anti-monopoly laws to exist.

Although for the record I don't hate anarcho capitalism, I just think it's more of an ideal. A more realistic but comparable system would include a government to protect union rights and prevent oligarchical behaviors while still being mostly hands off on an industry with a Union, letting the union enforce safety and related guidelines.

Can't use stifle. Gifting seems like an activated ability but it counts as an extra cost that you pay by "promising a gift". The promise itself does nothing, but its then a status the card is aware of (the "gift was promised"). When the card is resolving, it checks that status and does whatever the gift is.

So the actual "opponent gets another turn" part of the card that we'd wanna counter, that's part of the spell itself, after the gift was paid. If we could counter the act of gifting without countering the whole card, the result would be that the gift was not promised, and we still wouldn't get the benefits of the gift.

In short, no.

This will be better in commander I think, where the 4-person game will mean the extra turn can be used by the gifted player to attack someone besides the caster. A way to protect yourself for a bit and set up an enemy for a fall. Especially when neither the caster or the gift receiver is in the lead.

Its Japanese though and I think that that IS their traditional housewife outfit.

Same for blonder, I mean they obviously k ow what blonde is but that's probably plenty blonde to be very blonde to them.

Gifts are predefined, so instead of this being broken down like "Gift a [creature type], it would actually break down into " Gift a [predefined gift category], otherwise we'd be able to make Card creatures instead of drawing.

As Octopus is a predefined gift category meaning a blue 8/8 Octopus token, and isn't a creature type in this instance, just something using the same English word as a creature type.

As a sidenote, reminder text doesn't count as far as I know, so I think AE could make the card "remind" us that its a blue 8/8 goblin or zombie, but that reminder edit wouldn't be passed on to the gift token itself.

It's not the first time they've referenced Commander-specific things.

In this case the ability just won't do anything, it'll just have the tap/untap part
