Can't wrap my head around it. I'm trying to build one, and I'm struggling a bit. Aside from Source skills, Necro has only 3 damage-dealing spells. Bouncing shield makes it 4. Equipping staff seems counterproductive in the physical-based team. How do you guys approach it? By acquiring a bunch of buffs? Mixing Necro with Summoning? Because to tell you the truth I'd just prefer to deal damage every turn - that's my main priority. If there's a way, please let me know. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you.
I'm writing a paper on the historiography on the USSR and its relation to empire and I want to show the evolution of Chinese views on the USSR. I have a good source for the Mao era, but I want to see how it changed after his death.
Thanks!
Imagine someone wrote a dmv book but it fails to tell you to stop at a red light or really gives you any useful information on how to drive, that’s basically the Quran, it fails to tell you how to pray or fast, very little of anything can be found in the Quran, and you have to go to secondary sources which convinently explain everything the Quran doesn’t, imagine if your dmv book was that bad it needed secondary sources that had to explain it & expand it, wouldn’t give you the impression it was a terribly written book, but no Muslims will still insist the Quran is the best written book & you can still follow all of Islam’s teaching just by the Quran somehow ? Even when I was still a Muslim I was never impressed by the Quran & I thought it was a terribly written book & was surprised how little substance there was in it & how most of everything Islamic related is found in the hadith.
Hello,
Seeing that Stasis is one of the main archetypes of premodern, i researched about the available decklists on mtgdecks.net/Premodern and i wonder why in its UG variant Elvish Spirit Guide seems to make the consensus alongside Forsaken City for green mana generation.
Here are the available UG decklists:

What seems odd to me is that Elvish Spirit Guide was choosen instead of, for example, lotus petal (which is one of its closest equivalent), because as i understand it the pro/cons between the two would be:
Elvish Spirit Guide PROS:
- can act as a desperate blocker against aggro (seems a niche use given the only other green source is the Forsaken Cities)
- can be used as an instant-speed mana source to pay colorless costs, (also seems corner case as most of the cards in the deck are full-blue or have alternative casting costs)
Elvish Spirit Guide CONS:
- cannot pay for Stasis's upkeep cost
- takes a hand slot which can lead to having to discard to hand size after casting a gush
Lotus Petal PROS:
- can pay for Stasis's upkeep cost
- can produce the blue mana for our spells AND the green for Root Maze
- can be put in play to avoid discard if hand size is 7 or greater
Lotus Petal CONS:
- comes into play tapped if Root Maze is already in play, which seems minor at best as it means the lock is already in place (and having an Elvish Spirit Guide in the same situation would no
I believe it could be a secondary source, but it could also be a tertiary source because it is already building on primary and secondary sources. Where would it belong?
What are good secondary sources on Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, apart from the famous The Inner Citadel by Pierre Hadot?
Those who are in a friendzone situation will often remain in someone’s orbit for the sake of “friendship”, or sparing the feelings of the person who rejected them, because they feel it is the right thing to do. They often blame themselves for the situation, since they are the one with the feelings, they incorrectly believe they are at fault for changing the dynamic of the friendship.
However, there are often two dynamics at play here. If someone wishes for more than friendship, yet pretends they are willing to accept platonic friendship, they are being deceitful—their intent doesn’t matter. They share the blame if they are in this dynamic, because it wouldn’t exist in the first place if they were honest and upfront with intent. This is why it always is best to cut ties or distance yourself from someone if you wish to be more than friends, yet the other person doesn’t feel the same. It almost never ends well.
However, the person who actually rejects the other, yet claims they wish to maintain friendship is often being deceitful as well. While they claim they want “friendship”, there are often two potential motivations.
First, they really do not want to maintain any type of friendship, and are just simply saying this to spare the feelings of the other person, with no intention of maintaining any type of friendship or relationship. It is to soften the rejection, and to protect themselves. Men don’t handle rejection well. By saying they want friendship, they give the guy false hope that something may happen, when they really hope he will get the hint and fade from her life.
The second scenario is that she claims
wants a friendship, but really wants an additional source of attention and validation, without any type of consideration for the other person’s feelings. She may continue to flirt, or give other indications that give false hope.
This isn’t true friendship. This is using another person for an emotional prop. If you ever find yourself in this situation, be aware of the other person’s true intentions. Be upfront with your intentions, and only around yourself to be surrounded by others who value your feelings.
I moved to Mumbai recently for a job. I don't make a lot of money and between paying for rent, food, traveling and trying to save some money, I am feeling the need to have a secondary source of income. Please suggest something I can do, preferably online so I can do something after work. I don't have a vehicle so Zomato and Swiggy are out of the question.
Dear all, I recently started my first full time sw job in Munich after my master’s. I’m getting just above blue card level pay. I have 11-12k in credit balance/student loans from relatives when I came here for study. In the next 12 months, I will have to pay back everything by 1-1.5k a month.
As you understand, after paying my tax, rent, food, support for my parents in my home country, and loan, I don’t have anything in hand. I just got my pay for this month 3 days ago and now I have basically 120€ after paying everything for the next month. This will continue to happen if I don’t increase my salary by a lot. Which is not going to happen soon. I need a way to earn something passively.
My skills: React, TS.
As I am still a non eu citizen, I understand my options to start a business or something similar is next to impossible. What can I do to have 500-1000€ as a secondary income per month? I don’t wanna live like this all my life.
I have read some previous posts and online articles. But most are very generic and vague solution and only works for people who are lucky or have very good networking skills. I’m really frustrated now.
I want to get out of this situation and I want some financial freedom. Living paycheck to paycheck for the next 15-20 years is not an option.

I want to buy Singer's intro to Hegel but I've heard some pretty bad things about his understanding of Hegel, is this true?
I've read through tower of god a few times and enjoy it, but always wind up feeling a little bit stretched out in terms of new info, what is and isnt revealed, often it feels like extra kind of universal tidbits have been explained elsewhere. Im just talking about basic kind of stuff, like that whole concept of fishermen, and the roles names being based off of it, and how the first journey up the tower was vs all sacred fish. I dont remember finding that out for the longest time. Hell i didnt even know what a sacred fish was.
Other stuff id be curious for extra info on is the layout of the tower, this was explained slightly, about the inner and outer tower etc. But i didnt actually understand the full depth of that for a very very long time. It seems there are millions if not billions of people living in the outer tower not climbing, and their role in the story is mostly invisible. That one guy who's name i cant remember (White?) took over a country who forgot they were ever in the tower, but where are all these other people coming from etc. Like the rest of the contestants at the start of the series.
The people living on the tower not climbing must all be descendants eventually from irregulars? Idk my current understanding seems to be that most people living on floors are totally independent of each other. Ive probably forgotten some relevant specifics.
Stuff like this sometimes clogs my enjoyment of the series as i feel like im missing something. And i dont mind that, many great series dont drop all the info on you at the start, and you slowly piece it together, but some of these tidbits i feel like im walking ahead with less knowledge, then more stuff happens and i have missing knowledge regarding that stuff, and after a bit i feel like im trying to perform calculus when i only just learnt multiplication (exaggeration but yeah).
Considering that water was used to view and photograph the path of light beam from a raybox, what could be the reason why there appears to be a secondary source of light that is coming from the same light source. See image https://imgur.com/a/AYPkFk5
I’ve turned here because every time I search on Google, I keep getting names of Viking characters from the show. Has anyone come across anything discussing this topic at all? Or know where I can look myself if not?
Hi, I'm some bloke that enjoys reading about history. Was idly wondering - for professional historians how much of your time do you spend digging through primary sources? Versus secondary? I'd assume you'd need to spend X amount of time looking through direct records of stuff that happened? Or do you spend much of your time referencing secondary material?
Was just thinking that despite whatever bits of history I've read about, I've just taken authors' word for what happened.
This is a question of personal significance to me, as I'm a current history undergraduate preparing to write an honors thesis (and maybe pursue a PhD in the future). I am only fluent in English, but my proposed thesis topic involves U.S.-Japanese relations, and particularly the effects interacting with America had on Japanese politics and economics. Am I shooting myself in the foot here if I go with this topic but can't read any Japanese? It seems like I might struggle to find Japanese sources that have been translated into English--at the very least, the breadth of sources will be drastically reduced by the fact that I don't know Japanese. If I'm dead-set on my topic, should I consider learning Japanese before beginning to research and write? (I'm still a year away from this project, so I'm only doing preliminary thinking now)
I've been so caught up with T20 World Cup I hardly noticed the sudden surge in minority violence in India with Mosques being burned, Imams being slaughtered, Muslim as young as children being beaten in the streets.
I'm normally very up to speed with geopolitics but this time I can't find any decent secondary sources documenting all the events going on. Google is as useless as ever showing only the cleanest and unrelated Indian news articles. The big reddit subs are already known to block anti-india posts anyway.
I only have r/HindutvaWatch and r/Kashmiri which is mostly primary sources. That's fine but primary sources tend to have a volatile availability on the internet such as tweets which can often be deleted and hard to track down without it being properly saved or snap-shotted by a secondary source such as a news site.
The other thing is what did I miss in the past two weeks that lead to this culmination of basically public approved lynchings? I only heard about this after the Pakistan vs India match through family/friend talk. I can't seem to figure out a starting point. The cricket match definitely caused a tipping point but allegedly there was something else going on the week before ICC T20 WC started.
There aren't any major elections coming up nor any major politically planned moves so I'm assuming this started from the community and not from a government planned thing.
OK, so I'm using 5 sources blended on two fields (category and contract name).
I'm trying to set the one master list source as the primary source for a set of sheets so that it's the one generating the quick filter for people to choose from. (Currently, those sheets use a different source for their filtering, and if there are no transactions for a contract, then it disappears from the list).
When I drag the contract name and catg in from the master list source, and then the transactions from the secondary source, all is well... until I try to add the transaction FY. Then the FY just shows Null or * above all the transaction totals.
Can we not use data blend to get essentially a left-join out of this thing? I assumed that's how it functions from primary to secondaries.
*** UPDATE: nevermind, it worked fine to just build a sheet to use as the master list and filter from that to the other sheets on the dash.
