  1. We have the prusa mk2 and it’s pretty baller. Working on building an enclosure from 2 ikea lack enables and some plexiglass right now. Also you should def get a raspberry pi and run an octoprint server on it. Let’s you control the printer from a computer and even set up a webcam for time lapse videos.

  2. Aggy is more delusional than ever if they think we'll split the PUF. There's nothing they could ever offer Texas to get that. 

    I don’t know. If they could use the money to physically remove the campus to another state I’d think long and hard about giving it to them.
  3. No, no, no. The number of starts ore set per card. They will add more later possibly, but it goes like this:
    1st Star is the gold border and drop effect
    2nd Star is a gold detail
    3rd Star is more gold details

    So a spell like poison or zap only have one star, but hog has 3 because you will make his hammer gold on the 2nd and his Mohawk gold on the 3rd.

    Star points are acquired from anything that used to get you xp. Donations, leveling cards, and overflow of maxed cards being the primary path. Note that overflow of unmixed cards appear to only give you gold, not star points. When they first setup the system they had already totaled and converted all the xp you had earned past 13 to star points.

    Also mentioned in chat, the ghost king emote was given to anyone who had legendary trophies from way back in the first year.

    I’m torn on term limits but we first need serious anti-corruption legislation.

    like...

    First Big Change – Padlock the revolving door between big business and government. 

    Ban elected and appointed officials from becoming lobbyists after they leave office. Not for 1 year.  Not for 2 years. For the rest of their lives. No special deals for millions and millions of dollars to the policymakers who will be in a position to pay back their old employers.

    Second Big Change – Stop self-dealing by public officials. If a person works for the government, then that person should serve the public. No making policy decisions to help yourself instead of taxpayers.

    Presidents should not be able to own companies on the side. And we shouldn’t have to beg candidates to let the American people see their financial interests. That should be the law – not just for presidential candidates, but for every candidate for every federal office.

    Third Big Change – End lobbying as we know it. 

    Start by fixing the Swiss cheese definition of a “lobbyist.”  Require everyone who gets paid to influence government to register. And bring that lobbying out into the sunlight. Make every single meeting between a lobbyist and a public official a matter of public record.

    We should ban Americans from getting paid to lobby for foreign governments – period. If foreign governments want to express their views, they can use their diplomats. 

    Fourth Big Change – End corporate capture of rulemaking. 

    Prosecute companies that knowingly mislead government agencies. And stop the practice of companies paying for sham “studies” designed to derail the rulemaking process. 

    Fifth Big Change – Restore faith that ordinary people can get a fair shake in our courts. 

    Strengthen the code of conduct for all federal judges – no stock trading, no payments from corporations for attending events, no honoraria for giving speeches, no lavish getaways & fancy hunting trips funded by billionaires. & I mean all federal judges, including SCOTUS justices.

    Big Change Number Six – Hire a new independent sheriff to police corruption. There are dedicated public servants that enforce our ethics laws – but they have less authority than security guards at the mall. 

    Build a new anticorruption agency to make sure that all key federal officials – even powerful Senators and Presidents – file disclosures and get rid of conflicts. 

     

    Warren is proposing a pair of bills that are these things almost exactly.  They had her on Pod save america talking about it a week or so ago
