Running a survey on SQLite versions people have for Python... could you run this in a terminal and reply with the output? python -c 'import sys, sqlite3, platform; print(sqlite3.connect(":memory:").execute("select sqlite_version()").fetchone(), sys.version, platform.platform())'

@Wizards_Help Any update on the "Network Error / Unable to submit deck." error in @MTG_Arena friend challenges/direct challenges the past week or two? It's causing a lot of people to be unable to play for hours at a time. See recent comments at feedback.wizards.com/forums/918667-…

@chuckguy55 Doorbell maintenance: more than meets the eye.

I need practice saying “no” to people. Can someone request something of me? The more the merrier

I'm using github.com/MichaelMure/gi… to track bugs -- only a few minutes into it, but it does what I need: * issues and comments * stored in the repo, but with separate history
