Those are for different years. The pipeline this year was already closed

That was like 3 years ago lmao. Right now less than 2.5k interns

My 2 cents.. the fact that this is even such a big discussion makes me feel like there was some opportunity missed here. I understand the author point about 13 first maybe making it feel like a do-over, but I think that depends way more on presentation than the order itself.

You could end 11 with Oldeus saying he came from the future, cut before most of the explanation, then go into 13. So people already know this is some future that actually happened, but they don’t know the events yet. Now you are watching Rudy lose everything in real time without 12 basically giving you the roadmap first, and when you eventually go back to the Oldeus conversation you already saw the life that made him into that person. You could even do some back and forth between both timelines if you wanted.. (e.g eighty-six 86 with mirror PoV) these things aren’t really mutually exclusive. The story/world building doesn’t change, what changes is the information order and how the audience processes it.

And I think the bigger missed opportunity is outside the MT community. 13 is already an amazing episode, but presented differently this had potential to be one of those episodes that basically becomes an event for a week. GoT did this a lot, Steins;Gate, etc, where the writing takes a bigger risk and suddenly people who don’t even watch the show are hearing about what happened. With how much trauma/shock is in 13, and anime onlys having almost no idea where it is going, I think that could have pushed the episode way beyond just: oh amazing episode!

Maybe this could’ve even helped change some of the bad perception around MT for some people.

I think it was that. I tried opening more and got nothing in 8 total, so yeah rip; I wanted the Stardust overframe

The money is not the issue to a lot of people. You’re making a good point though, Yugioh isn’t nearly as popular as the other TCGs in the collector space so it may not attract those big whales yet.

Not sure, the world we live is drastically different by demographics. Like near my area I have seen more attention lately with a GTR than with a 911 GTS. You see 911s all day but not many GTRs.

If a one time splurge reads as “disgusting” to you, the problem isn’t the meal, it’s your perspective.

ReaVNaiL

I don’t think so, this is generalizing too much.

You can’t attribute someones ability to use save, plan or use points in one luxury night as if they’re rich. If one expensive booking automatically means wealth, then anyone who buys an iPhone is rich, which obviously isn’t true.

PC ETBs have more packs, and at MSRP price compared to regular ETB offers better pack per dollar.

They do come with a PC stamped promo, and a regular promo, and a lot of times this is where the appeal comes.

The rest is the box stamp, printed in way lower quantities and more exclusive.

I was reading the other comments and I’m surprised safety isn’t part of this conversation, because most people who have been around cars long enough, eventually find out the hard way that the things holding your wheels on are not the place to compromise…

A 25 mm spacer doesn’t just push the wheel out for a better look, it introduces an extra point of failure and changes the way forces act on bearings, studs, suspension arms and on a 4000+ lb car with instant torque it doesn’t make any better.

And the issue isn’t usually the spacer itself, it’s how it’s installed and maintained. Ask yourself these questions: What will realistically happen to bearing life and studs over tens of thousands of miles, not just the first week? Will the installation be torqued with a calibrated wrench and rechecked after heat cycles, and will you actually inspect for noise, vibration, or runout later? If a single stud lets go at highway speed, is the trade worth it for a flush fender line?

If the goal is the look or like you have flush fitment, the ideal solution is a wheel with the correct offset so the geometry and load paths stay intact. If you still choose spacers, keep thickness conservative please, don’t go 2”, pick hub-centric parts from a reputable maker, torque to spec, retorque after 50 to 100 miles, and accept the added maintenance and risk as the price of the aesthetic. Cutting corners on the hardware that keeps the wheels on the car is not where to save.

Literally their FAQ: https://help.taggrading.com/en/articles/6747668-does-tag-use-ai-to-grade-cards

They don’t do gen AI or anything in that sense, they just have some computer vision and image processing models trained to suit their needs.

ReaVNaiL

ML does not hallucinate, you are confusing these terms, however bad training can lead to inaccuracies or detection failures which is what TAG could run into.

ReaVNaiL

Surely you can always wait until they become more affordable..

It worked with skylines right?

This is just a backdoor Roth, and yeah you can even do Mega Backdoors. Still doesn’t change your contribution limit. You can have as many accounts as you want.

People that make over 161k can’t contribute to one directly, so they have to get after tax money from the Traditional IRA (backdoor) rolled over and 401k(mega backdoor) rolled over to “contribute” to a Roth.

ReaVNaiL

Mainly for different investment options or brokers, up to the person, limit’s the same, just more places to park it.

Generally most people would be fine with a single Roth, unless you know you have a need for more than one.

ReaVNaiL

It doesn’t change the contribution limit. You can have as many as you want.
