Hey all, I got a few drafts under my belt with my Sleeveless cube. Overall its been a great time. It's a slower cube that still plays a lot of heavy hitters. I tried to build in some archetypes while still making it a cube you can brew to your hearts desire. I'm trying to avoid A+B combos.

Anyway one of the players in my group mentioned that he feels like blue has no real wincons, to which I didn't have a super great response. Its a great color in multi color decks but itself is sort of missing that piece. The closest thing is has is probably brain freeze + high tide. Maybe that's fine but I wanted to discuss with those of yall who have more experience than me. Any idea on some nice pieces I could add? I could use some better blink pieces.

One thing to note: I try my best to play cards from Tempest-Ravnica (all old boarder) but I'm open to any old boarder cards that fit the power level.

Thanks!

I’ve been working in the corporate world for awhile now and I’m getting pretty burnt out on working for companies whose entire mission is to cut jobs and make more and more money. It makes it really hard to stay motivated.

This is something I’ve been feeling the older I get especially as I feel more and more jaded by capitalism and the state of the world. I would love to feel better about the work I do.

This is a daily open ended post but I’d love to get a conversation going.

My main everyday bag is the Bellroy Venture 6L. I love it, but need a personal item bag for flights thats a bit roomier. As silly as it is I'm looking for a sling that can fit it along with room for snacks and other flight essentials. Ideally something with a hidden pocket for passports etc.

I've been considering the Alpaka Bravo Sling Max, Bravo Flight Satchel, K&F 12L Camera Bag, Cotopaxi Viaje 12L

I currently work as a senior designer at a fairly large enterprise. My main focus is design systems, but I also work on B2B and B2C products in my current role.

I’m curious what those of you at smaller companies do, and whether you’re seeing those roles shrink (more than the rest of the industry already is).

I’d love to move to something smaller, but in this new AI era I feel like I barely see non big tech roles posted. Maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places??

Getting back into riding after a year or two off. I’m originally from the East Coast, where my go-to was flowy singletrack and road riding.

Since moving out here I’ve never quite fallen in love with the riding here, partly because an old wrist issue makes MTB tough. I’ve been trying to do more gravel riding, but everything feels so rough that I end up wrecked after the intense descents. I’ve been riding brown mountain and the areas around there.

I’m around Pasadena on a steel frame running 45s. Any suggestions for smoother fire road routes that won’t crush my wrists? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, curious what non square taper cranksets you’re running on 80s-90s builds. White industries being the most obvious but I’m wondering if there any more affordable options out there.

Edit: I understand bb standards, what will and won’t work. I was curious what others were running is all. Thanks

Edit 2: not sure what’s with all of the downvoting going on here. I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum.

Does anyone know if there are any shoes in the current lineup with a leather inner heel? I always seem to wear out the heels of my new balances and recently got a pair of adidas with a leather inner which has made them last so much longer than any New Balances I’ve owned (including USA made). While I don’t like the Adidas quite as much if I can’t find some more durable NBs I may need to switch.

My go tos have been the 1400 with the 995 being a close second.

They had to cut a hole in the exterior wall to run some electrical. It left everything in our backyard coated in gray dust.

I’m considering just cleaning it myself, but apart of me feels like this should be their responsibility. Mainly I don’t feel like kicking up whatever is in the dust and don’t feel like waiting for rain to use my back yard. I basically live in the desert where it never rains.

Am I overthinking it and should I just clean it myself or should I be a Karen about it?

Hi All, they're doing some massive work at my apartment complex which includes jackhammering huge holes (basically moats!) around the buildings and then today they told me they need to cut open a hole in my interior wall. I'm def a little worried about lead/asbestos for my loved ones/pets.

I looked on Pasadenas permit site and didn't see anything. Is there a way I can talk to an actual human about this? Anyone ever deal with this?

I feel like this is a giant attempt to appease investors and ignore what users want.

Animation: Neat, but I still haven’t seen how this is better than After Effects. If animation is going to be a focus, show how it builds into components, maybe that exists, I just haven’t seen it. Admittedly I haven’t had a chance to try it myself.

Plugins: Like agents, I don’t see it beating a proper Claude/Figma MCP setup. Feels more like a way to sell credits.

Code layers: This is the one I’m most excited about but if it’s anything like Figma Make in its limits I’ll be let down.

On top of that the Talks…every. single. one. is about AI. I get it, it’s the big thing, like most of us I’ve worked it into my flow in multiple ways, but there’s more to talk about. Not saying ignore it, just maybe pull it back from 90% of talks to 60-70%.

Maybe I’m in the minority. Just wanted a sanity check.

Hi all I’m looking to put a rack on my bike and would love something that’s canti mounted like the nitto m12. I want to be able to throw a semi rigid tote on the front but want to go full basket on this particular bike. Any suggestions and/or what are you running? Thanks in advance for the help!

I’m currently working on a new cube where players randomly choose a card from a pool of 8 before the draft. That card starts on the battlefield and is meant to loosely guide their draft and reward players if they build around it, but not punishing them if they ignore it.

Tell me about any turn 0 cards or rules you’ve tried in your cubes. What worked/what didn’t and any suggestions you may have.
