  • It’s a shame they didn’t add more targets to this spell for Hinata, but 5 mana for all of this is still a pretty good deal. Outside of commander formats though, this feels like maybe a limited bomb, but way too expensive for lots of random things in standard.

    I hope it ends up being a new Magma Opus though and sees a little play. Magma Opus did have the discard for a treasure ability though, and it could tap lands.



  • At first, I misread this thinking a single 5c dragon was enough to win the game with this. Needing 5 dragons is a lot though (especially with the color restrictions).

    The other effects are nice, but this enchantment is just too expensive imo. Indestructible doesn’t do much when exile-based removal is so common, and the +1/+1 counters are too slow to come out and not worth the mana.

    Maybe some deck finds a way to combo with this, but needing to untap with 5 dragons and not already be winning the game is going to be tough.


  • I’m not sure what you want me to respond with. Do you want me to tell you that you can walk in and demand a compensation at the start of your interview or something? Most individuals don’t have the bargaining power to do that. If you are desirable enough that the company wants to pay you whatever you ask for, then sure. Go in and talk about money right away.

    For most of us, we are competing with thousands of others for one of maybe a few positions. The onus is on us to prove that we are desirable and will provide value, and asking about compensation first does not usually give that impression.




  • Can’t speak for everywhere, but in the US, if your first questions are about salary, they’re going to be left wondering if you’re even qualified for the job and if money is all you care about. Even if it is (which is fine most of the time), that’s not really the impression you should give if your goal is to be hired.

    Asking about salary later on is usually a much better idea. You know whether you actually are interested in working there, the interviewer knows if they are interested in you, and wanting money it isn’t the first impression you give.

    As for Python - leetcode style interviews are common, but almost always worthless. The only real value the company gets from something like that is to check that you actually can write code. They’re pointless beyond that, and a company doing leetcode interviews should be a red flag.




  • Monsters, Inc. The animation was excellent for the time. The story, humor, and emotions were all excellent. I highly recommend it.

    As for the isekai aspect, it was very creative. Allowing people to travel between the two worlds with doors in a children’s movie setting really makes it stand apart from prior works with similar ideas, like Stargate (which allows travel with gates). I liked the idea that these were the monsters hiding in the closet growing up.
