- Can you play this online? -- nm - secretslacker Mar 15, 17:05 4
  - It’s PC only (unless you have MacOS hackery) But yes. It’s a pretty generous freemium model. -- (link) - Qale Mar 15, 17:15 2
    - I wonder if WINE works with it? -- nm - spamlet Mar 15, 17:40 1
      - That’s what I meant by hackery. There is also nvidia geforce now I think. -- nm - Qale Mar 15, 18:32
  - Not to hijack Qale, but yes. If I was better at Magic, I'd be playing it online these days. -- nm* - ReluctantCynic Mar 15, 17:10

- I can’t read the article, so this may be mentioned, but wasn’t he shut down/forced to donate it? It wasn’t out of the goodness of his heart. -- nm - kelly Mar 15, 16:55 3
  - His intent was to gouge, but on-line retailers shut him down. Then the news story ran and the public backlash force him to donate. -- nm - TWuG Mar 15, 17:15

  - He had a bad night last night. The NY Times article with his name ran yesterday I believe -- nm - Volnelk Mar 15, 16:43

Alberta just shuttered its entire education system until next school year. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 15, 16:29 4

    - old people had their chance -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 16:42 1

    - word to the im -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 16:51
  - Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The signal to noise ratio is all over the place. I think it's like Radiohead in that it has very narrow bandwidth. -- nm - David Mar 15, 16:45
  - I haven't seen it but my guess is "oh hell yes" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 15, 16:36

B2: I agree with what my wife said. In uncertain times buying stuff allows people to think they have a little control of something - Beaker Mar 15, 16:07 7
- Yep. There haven't been many days these last few weeks when I haven't bought something to "stock up on", even if it's just a 5-pack of noodles - Roger More Mar 15, 16:21 2

    - The flour and sugar aisles are still wastelands. But then it hit me - Bulk Barn. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 16:51

  - Barter system. -- nm - Reagen Mar 15, 16:16 1
    - who runs Barter Town?! -- nm - Beaker Mar 15, 16:18
- That could arguably apply to anything perhaps. To some, going out to a bar may seem selfish but to others it may let them feel like things are normal - JackDawson Mar 15, 16:14
