@BenChuWorld @LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept yeah you’re right my bad only seen the 485 process!

@solarnius @LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept that’s only applicable for form I-485, when you apply while being INSIDE the country. to apply OUTSIDE the country, you use ds-260, doesn’t restrict travel.

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

@BenChuWorld @LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept not without advance parole without abandoning their gc application as per uscis guidance: uscis.gov/green-card/whi…

@solarnius @LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept that’s misinformation. green card applicants with non-asylum visas can leave and return to the US as they want as long as their visas are valid.

@BenChuWorld @LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept traveling with a pending green card application has historically been a very tenuous process where leaving America could result in abandonment of the application; you certainly cannot go back and forth repeatedly while an application is pending without prior approval

@LeiQiaosi @ApoStructura @USCIS @StateDept wrong. workers with nonimmigrant visas travel back and forth all the time without any problem. submitting a green card application to the consulate in your home country changes Nothing.

@AikadoLoR very situational, running 2 hb 1 abandon makes sense to me though

Which is better?

Hey Riftbounders! We've seen and heard your frustrations re: too many Legends in packs (and to a lesser extent, Battlefields). Hang in there - we've got some changes coming in a future set, and we'll share that plan with you within the next few months. Thanks for your patience!

@sakurayukiai you’re depreciating the hardware reasonably but you should also consider what happens if token subsidies dry up

My favorite detail about 'free' local inference is the depreciation math. If you amortize a $4k Mac over 5 years, running a 31B model costs $1.50 per million tokens. The API is 3x cheaper. Local compute is officially a luxury good and I respect it ✨

@ebrionesm @shogunoflive @BarbiecueDGG yeah that’s the good faith explanation bc he was against diana so it was sided out but the other sideboarded cards were all facing the right direction so it feels weird anyways, tbh i don’t think it mattered for end result and hopefully now ppl pay more attention to this stuff

@solarnius @shogunoflive @BarbiecueDGG If the round before that he sided out the adaptatron (idk against what did he play, but maybe he didnt need it), then when putting it back in he may have not realized the direction. Happened to me a couple times

For anyone who hasn't seen before how an upside down card in a deck looks like:

@NewrofTCG 👀

@solarnius we are planning updating the list tomorrow. Spoiler: you won't need Tasty or Whiteflame anymore 👀

Sydney brought in new meta contenders will update matchups guide according to it in the next days (LeBlanc Hook and Vex e.g.) 👀 stay tuned

@NewrofTCG i do miss the 1x whiteflame but arguably have to cut tasty for it which gets value more often than whiteflame does 1x vilemaw feels great though

@solarnius Thank you for your words, Yes, obviously Aurora is Aurora, but so far we aren't having a terrible time with the LeBlanc Hook in playtests. I'll update everything shortly

@shogunoflive @BarbiecueDGG sure after recycling i understand, has happened to me too, but in a fresh game 1 at final table right after taking out sideboard i dont see how the #1 most pivotal card ends upside down without any others

@solarnius @BarbiecueDGG I've seen it from other players across many games, ive done it by mistake. I had a guy in ATL shuffle my rune deck, then call a judge on me saying a card was wrong direction after I recycled a rune. I thought he set me up, when really when I recycled i just did it by mistake

nah in this situation i think he was guaranteed to hit but you could imagine a world where he has stella + rtw + stacked deck and needs to decide if he’s gonna try to draw 3 with stella and then stacked deck, stacked deck and then draw 3, or save rtw for potential combat trick later, could influence the game meaningfully i agree that it feels like a weirdly small edge which is why i was initially skeptical but after testing tonight i have a hard time seeing how that one card would end up flipped you could also totally tell from that angle depending on the sleeves

@solarnius @BarbiecueDGG If the idea is he wouldn't have used stacked deck in that situation if he didn't know it would hit adaptatron, that's wild... also the guys deck was perpendicular to him. He would have to noticeably lean over to really see that card facing other direction.

@shogunoflive @BarbiecueDGG in theory it would help you decide to dig with stacked decks/draws if you know how close you are vs developing board

@solarnius @BarbiecueDGG My thing is...lets say he did it on purpose..and now he knows where it is in the deck.... how does that help him get it to where he needed it to be after his opponent cut the deck???

@sailaunderscore it was seed stage, board control with the founders and the lead with a seat was ok with it because they had already written the company to 0 so getting back some $ was better than 0

@solarnius The board should block this unless, like I said, there was some crazy liquidation preference.

This is basically only possible if you join a startup worth <5 million that exits around 25million and you only get 1% of 1% of equity. The odds this happened are about zero and it wasn’t dilution.
