@SarahTaber_bww This made me immediately curious about workers per capita and workers per cultivated acre. Is that initial rise all population growth? Is there a steady drop in workers/acre, or some meaningful wiggles?

Here's my finished chart! It's nice, clean, & clear. To be clear, the historical events it shows are not nice. It shows slavery growing exponentially up to the Civil War, the shift to low-wage farm workers & tenant farmers, & eventually machines. BUT THE GRAPH IS SO CLEAR

Ok guys I played around with @mindthegraph, a "Canva for nerds who need to make infographics" tool. Here is a travelogue of my adventures to date:

@SarahTaber_bww is one of your Podcast episodes out of order? The audio I’m getting for “history of agriculture part I” sounds like a part II. shows.acast.com/farm-to-taber/…

@DragonShield_ I just picked up a box of olive DSMs, and the sleeve color is *really* different from the swatch on the box, closer to Lime. Are these right?

@MerriamWebster Looks like practice mode on Quordle is bugged. This is the second time now I’ve opened it, and seen my guesses from a previous (completed) puzzle used as (terrible) guesses for a new one.

@ghirapurigears I think it’s worth sorting out, because I’m very much in favor of stability as an overall goal.

@ghirapurigears 2. “Minimize changes that require players to actively maintain their decks” sounds like something largely out of your control. For me, pressure to update comes from new pushed cards — and lots of them, not one or two bannable baddies.

@ghirapurigears I’m terrible at Discord, so after I wrote this for the RC Discord it wouldn’t send. Two things that strike me as a a little funny about “Stable”:

@scryfall For the last eight hours or so I’ve been unable to sort by EDHRec rank

@ghirapurigears OFC I cut a bunch of EDH classics, and shed a single tear for each one. I miss the old format.

@ghirapurigears My general approach is to do some light tagging (most of the work here), then sort by MV. It makes it a little easier to see which cards are cool, but below the power level of the rest of the deck. That’s most of the other cuts.

alright i'm going to bed. someone cut 16 cards from this #Minsc_and_Boo_go_adventuring" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">archidekt.com/decks/3752208#…

@elektrotal FWIW, ep3 is essentially a standalone episode, and a really fantastic one at that. I haven’t played the games, but I gather it’s a significant departure from the game story. There is one zombie, but it’s not a threat or central to the episode.

@ghirapurigears Gluntch!

alright, i need to build a new deck for saturday. what do you got

@JasonEAlt , I happened upon a brainteaser and thought of BSB. On EDHRec, what is the highest-ranked card of each color that *hasn’t* had a reprint?

@magic_meaning @TheKristenEmily @wizards_magic @maro254 @GavinVerhey I dunno, Wikipedia is pretty sure they should be retyped as dragons:

@benjithebrewer @edhrec Three, Sisay, Sefris, and Aminatou. With about 25 decks built. My playgroup has done relatively well at resisting the recent power shove.

How many of the top 100 commanders according to @edhrec do you have built? I have 7 built, which is more than I anticipated. edhrec.com/commanders
