@Trey_Harnden @paulg the graph is from https://www.lexisnexisrolfoundation.org/tools.aspx?p=tools. Underlying data is from https://worldjusticeproject.org/our-work/publications/rule-law-index-reports/wjp-rule-law-index-2015-report

I wouldnt necessarily assume causation in the given direction. For example, it’s possible that having a higher gdp is more conducive to the rule of law
Quoted paulg's tweet:Rule of law vs GDP per capita, courtesy of the Lexis Nexis Rule of Law Foundation.
(I’m surprised China ranks so low in rule of law. If that’s accurate, this graph suggests China will have to change significantly to become as rich as I’d been assuming it would.)

This was less than a week ago. Today I found out my secondary hdd had a bunch of errors and might be failing. Psychic much?

I enjoy browsing people’s personal websites, especially if theyre often updated and not dead. If your website has a blogroll, I will happily spend at least an hour clicking through the links there

I finally watched Dark Phoenix today. It was not as bad as I thought it would be, but the #xmen jet did have a port where Cyclops could put his head so they can use him as a cannon, and apparently Nightcrawler can teleport 4 people across an entire city so there’s that
some weird character choices too. I mean, Erik’s lackeys were basically random unknown mutants (I didn’t even realize who Selene was supposed to be until she fell off the train). Not to mention the obscure Marvel alien race in the movie.
At least we got our space firebird thingy so there’s that

The interface for the standard 2020 event on #mtg arena is so clunky. They could have at least default the deck selection to what I was playing last time

I will admit I enjoyed the #MTGEldraine brawl on Arena. I may get into this format if it becomes regular, so that I have a palette cleanser for standard #mtg

Posting this right now when ELD spoilers are appearing every couple of hours is a serious flex. Great alter though!

Not a fan of the templating “When <trigger condition>, do X, then do Y. Do Z.” The full stop after Y makes it like Z is a separate thing, since it’s no longer in the same sentence as the trigger condition. (Yes I know it doesn’t work that way.)

Hi! This demo is great! I’m new to procreate so I’m still learning the features.
I wonder if you could give me some advice. One thing I learned here is that there is a feature like when you draw in a circle then hold the pen in place for a bit, it will automatically “smooth” the circle. However, when I tried doing this, I can’t get it to work consistently. The main problem is that I have unsteady hands, so when I hold the pen in place to do the smoothing, there is often still some slight movement so I guess this is why I can’t trigger it consistently. Would you know if there is any workaround or alternative for someone like me?

Posted on r/MagicArena: Settings aside the issues with wildcard pricing, what curated cards would you like to see enter the Historic format?
Of course the suggestions from Wotc twitter (Bob, Bolt and Wurmcoil) are a bit ridiculous. I imagine that a lower power level would be needed. Historic needs to differentiate itself from Standard but not be as ridiculous as modern, and build up slowly but surely. I would like to see cards that had their time in Standard but haven’t really found a good place in Modern. I don’t agree with those saying it should be Origins-forward though, I think that’s unnecessarily restrictive.
Some of my initial ideas (the first 10 are color balanced, but the rest are not):
Knight of the White Orchid
Keiga, the Tide Star
Korlash, Heir to Blackblade
Pia and Kiran Nalaar
Wren’s Run Packmaster
Ojutai’s Command
Shadowmage Infiltrator
Demigod of Revenge
Huntmaster of the Fells
Dauntless Escort
Siege Rhino
Cruel Ultimatum
Desolation Angel
Mystical Teachings
Char
Kessig Wolf Run

Posted on r/coins: How to clean grimy and rusty coins?
I had a bunch of old coins from different countries and they were stored in a rusty metal container that was also exposed to water at some point. I checked it recently and many of the coins inside are covered in rust and grime and some of them are even stuck toģether. Any recommendations for cleaning them?

i’m not a serious collector or anything; these are mostly just leftover coins from foreign trips. so i’m not looking so much to preserve value, more like in the future i’d like to be able to pull them out and go “ah these are from my trip to so-and-so country, etc” i hope that makes sense

People dunked on this tweet, saying, in essence, “This isn’t 100% correct - you shouldn’t pay attention.” But that misses the point. The value of any model is that it’s simpler than reality so that you can gain insight. Here are the insights I have gained from this model. https://twitter.com/RichRogers_/status/1159872097205805056
