Re: A question for Magic: The Gathering Online players
Event tickets are just game money (1 dollar one ticket). The only thing WOTC will do to take cards for you is if you want to transfer an entire set into paper from online. You can sell them to other people and use the event tickets to cash out via selling the tickets by Ebay or the like.

That's because we are professionals. :D 5.6 is decent. It's a foot massage for us, but decent. The midwest quakes are felt normally about 4 times the distance away from the epicenter then Cal quakes and you guys have bedrock to build on. We got prime liquefaction areas that entire cities are built ...

Re: Want a job interview, Anglicize your name
We were close friends with an Armenian family in central California. When they came to the US during the Armenian genocide (a lot of Armenians came to central CA) they changed their name from Aslanian to Lyons so that not only would they not be Armenian, they'd be FRENCH (and therefore super-classy...

Re: The Applicability of "Depthscrapers"
That's interesting stuff and somewhat counterintuitive to me. Solid rock is excellent at transmitting vibrations; the closer you get to a dense, crystal system, the easier it is to transmit energy through the system without the vibration being damped by lattice irregularites and gaps. This is physi...

Re: Kalahari Desert and Seawater Desalination
(Disclaimer: My understanding of geology is limited to what I've picked up from playing Dwarf Fortress.) You could, but if it's below sea level then the water table ought to be close enough to the surface that it's equally or more economical to sink wells. That actually won't help at all. Water Tab...

A nation, a world superpower, so advanced and powerful, used poor Third Worlders as guinea pigs for medical experiments.
