Potential hot take for Magic: the Gathering's Commander format, but I'm starting to think CEDH and Casual Commander should have two separate ban lists.

Now hear me out. I don't personally play CEDH because the concept of it simply doesn't interest me, but from what I hear, it's effectively an entirely different game in practice. Gone are the alliances, the negotiations, the room for errors. It's whoever does their thing the absolute fastest or stops the other players the best. Politics and generally having a good time, on the other hand, are the priorities of Casual Commander play, even to a degree at high power non-CEDH levels.

So as I think about this, Emrakul being banned for "not being fun to play against" makes no sense for CEDH. As a game, CEDH primarily revolves around combos and control, and while Emrakul is nothing to sneeze at, you either need to cheat it out or have an infinite mana combo, and with the former probably being most common, you're most often not going to get the cast trigger. I genuinely cannot imagine her making a splash in CEDH compared to the utterly deranged things people pull off there.

Casual Commander, on the other hand, is an entirely different beast, rule zero conversations can be difficult to bring up, and there's ALWAYS that one guy that brings the degenerate shit to a casual game, anyway. Banning based on fun value is a much more reasonable option for a specifically casual format. Banning things like Karnlock for slowing down or outright halting the game (or really anything generally deemed "unfun" by a majority of casual players), especially in a format that already tends to be slower, makes sense in a more casual setting. It's a bit more difficult of a thing to judge, as it's rather subjective, but other common examples seem to be fast mana and land destruction.

I'm admittedly on the fence about fast mana, but my big issue with it is that there's simply no middle ground. You either pay 2-3 mana for 1 mana, or you pay 1 mana for 2-3 mana. The only guaranteed "break even" mana rock I can think of is Timeless Lotus, which is legendary, can only be used in 5 color decks, and costs 5 mana to play in the first place, or Springleaf Drum, which is solid but has a pretty rough additional cost that already requires you to have a board state. A set of simple "break even" rocks and/or tapped mana-positive rocks would lessen the power gap between someone with fast mana and someone without. As it stands, with the possible exception of Sol Ring, if only due to how many precons include it, I do think fast mana would be worthy of a ban in a proposed Casual Commander banlist, simply due to how significantly it widens the gap between decks with or without it and how inaccessible it is. However, there's no denying fast mana is a staple of CEDH and seems to have plenty of counterplay, and from what I hear Sol Ring isn't even good there.

Overall, I simply think Casual Commander needs a separate, soft ban list to give a baseline for the most common rule zero discussions, while also leaving CEDH intact.

National Review: Absurd Government Regulations Are Keeping People Out of Their Own Beds

sight. So policy-makers passed an ordinance that criminalizes camping on public land. People guilty of unauthorized sleeping sued, and the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on April 22, 2024. The case, Grants Pass v. Johnson, tests how far cities can go to regulate what happens on public property. But cities would not have so much homelessness in the first place if they did not actively stop affordable housing on private property.

This is what happened to Chasidy Decker, who lives 500 miles east of Grants Pass in Meridian, Idaho. Her problem is not that she lacks a bed. She already has one inside her tiny home on wheels, a 252-square-foot vehicle that she parks on private property. Her landlord leases space to her behind a fence in his side yard, which has hookups for water, sewer, and electricity. Yet Meridian will not let Decker sleep under her own roof. They warned her about expensive fines the day after she moved in. So, she has been homeless since August 2022.

Her trailer sits empty, while she scrambles for other accommodations.

Decker and her landlord sued to be left alone on private property. Our public-interest law firm, the Institute for Justice, represents them. A district-court trial ended in April, and they expect a decision by late summer.

Meanwhile, similar zoning disputes are unfolding nationwide. Many cities and counties oppose private housing solutions, which has contributed to a crisis affecting nearly every part of the economy. One charity, Tiny House Hand Up, tried to build affordable housing on its own land in Calhoun, Ga. But zoning officials stopped the project because of square-footage minimums. Calhoun residents must pay for bigger homes, even if they want smaller homes.

Anita Adams encountered a different roadblock when she tried to build a house in Seattle for her family. Zoning laws allowed construction, but the permit price included a $39-per-square-foot “housing affordability” fee—which added $80,000 to the project. Seattle demanded this payment to its public-housing fund before Adams could break ground. She and her family cannot afford the expense, meaning the city is effectively preventing them from building on their own property.

Amanda Root, a disabled, older resident living on a fixed income in Sierra Vista, Ariz., just wants to stay put on the same lot she has owned and occupied for more than 20 years. But code enforcers want her gone, citing a technicality: Her trailer has axles, and her street is zoned for mobile homes without axles. “I have looked at different options,” Root says. “There is nothing out there that I can afford. A tent? Where am I going to go? Behind Food City?”

Tiny House Hand Up, Adams, and Root all sued with representation from our firm. Lower-income families suffer the most from misguided policies such as these. Common tactics include occupancy caps, prohibitions on multifamily housing, and overregulation of accessory dwelling units, or “granny flats.” Shawnee, Kan., even criminalizes roommates. A 2022 ordinance makes it illegal for friends to split rent in single-family homes.

Multiple studies show what must be done: Let people build and operate housing on their own property. Yet real reform remains elusive — hindered on one side by not-in-my-backyard activists who think they should have control over how their neighbors live, and on the other side by people who believe it is immoral for developers to earn a profit — as if there were some other reason they would be willing to build.

Meanwhile, millions of ordinary families are getting pushed past their limits as the cost of living rises. People with mortgages are downsizing or consolidating. People who lease are falling behind. And those on the fringes are becoming homeless. Already, half of U.S. homeowners and renters are struggling to keep up.

The Grants Pass case deals with the fallout. Zoning reform could address homelessness before it happens. The Constitution provides the necessary firepower through the due-process clause of the 14thAmendment. State constitutions use similar language. Put in simple terms, these provisions mean the government cannot restrict activity on private land without good reason.

Decker does not want to sleep in a park. She has a bed. She just needs permission to use it.

Meta Link TX, a leading provider of powder coating and fencing solutions, is your go-to company in Austin. From "Fence Installation Austin" to "security fencing," they offer tailored services to help bring your vision to life.

What Is Powder Coating?

Powder covering is a completing interaction that includes applying a dry, free-streaming powder to metal surfaces. The powder is electrostatically charged and sprayed onto the metal, then cured under heat to create a smooth, durable layer. Unlike traditional liquid paint, powder coating provides a much more durable finish that resists chipping, scratching, and fading, making it an ideal solution for both outdoor and indoor applications.

The Benefits of Powder Coating

1. Durability and Longevity Powder coating offers an incredibly durable finish that can withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and physical impacts. This makes it a fantastic option for outdoor metal surfaces such as fences, gates, and athletic equipment. When you choose powder coating from Meta Link Austin, you’re ensuring that your products will last longer, requiring less maintenance over time.

2. Environmental Friendliness One of the primary advantages of powder covering is its eco-congeniality. Traditional liquid paints contain harmful solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can harm the environment. Powder coating, on the other hand, contains no solvents and releases negligible amounts of VOCs, making it a greener choice for your fencing and coating needs.

3. Customization Options

Whether you're installing an athletic fence, security fencing, or a decorative perimeter around your property, powder coating offers a variety of color options and finishes. From matte to polished, the customization prospects are interminable with Meta link Tx. You can match your fencing to your property's overall aesthetic or create a standout feature with bold colors.

4. Cost-Effective Solution Powder coating offers a more cost-effective solution compared to traditional painting methods. It’s not only faster to apply, but its durability also reduces the need for touch-ups or frequent repainting.

Tips For Fence Repair in Alpharetta and Cumming, GA

Being able to own a home makes the American dream come true. The challenge is to set boundaries and ensure privacy as well as security. One may try the white picket fence to keep the trespassers away and the children and pets well inside. The picket fence may be too flimsy to be of real use. Instead, it is essential to think of something more sturdy and effective. Ensuring a quality wood fence installation in Alpharetta and Cumming, GA, can be an ideal solution. ​ It is essential to understand that simply procuring some wood and a set of tools will not be enough to install the fence flawlessly. Instead, the homeowner will find hiring a seasoned professional to take on this onus more satisfying. The proper installation of an eye-pleasing wood fence around the property or the backyard/front yard is sure to provide the following advantages to the residents:

1. Affordability- A wooden fence remains affordable as the natural resources are plentiful and may be sourced from multiple dealers. The appearance of natural wood that is treated to eliminate pests and other damages can be pleasing to look at, too. One does not need to paint the fencing either. The ultimate result is cost-effective, with its functionality being top-notch.

2. Low Maintenance- Natural wood is prone to damage by natural elements. Cleaning the wooden boards is pretty simple, with sprays of water capable of removing the contaminants. The base material may be protected with polish or paint, which does not need frequent upgrades either. Removing a rotten or broken board by replacing it with a new one is simple enough. There is no need to remove the fencing when a part is damaged.

3. Options- There are options galore when the homeowner is eager to install a wooden fence. The user may go for the classic white picket fence and choose a modern, contemporary style, too. From choice of wood to styles and designs, the end user is split for choice when determining an apt fence made of wood. Apart from the variety of wood, color, and style, the consumer may want to add another layer to the fence, too. There is also the possibility of paddocks, pickets, shadowbox, and/or split rail and stockade.

4. Eco-Friendly- The idea of adding to the carbon footprint is not endorsed. Fortunately, natural wood comes from a renewable source, and the process of sourcing it does not damage the environment. It is a sustainable option that is preferred by most today. Moreover, the homeowner is welcome to voice their concerns and ask for a fence installation method that has a low environmental impact.

5. Increased Property Value- Additions and alterations to a property are usually done to improve the ROI. Installing a wood fence can be functional in guarding the residents and ensuring security. Moreover, it increases curb appeal, significantly increasing property value.

It is most important to hire seasoned professionals for fence repair in Alpharetta and Cumming, GA, instead of considering it to be a DIY task.

Common Uses of Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bar in Construction

Aluminium HE 15, known for its excellent mechanical properties and high strength, is preferred in several industries, especially construction. The flat bars made from this alloy are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for various applications. In this blog, we’ll explore the common uses of Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars in construction and why this alloy is an industry favourite.

Structural Frameworks

One of the most common applications of Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bar in construction is in structural frameworks. Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, it provides excellent support without adding unnecessary weight to the structure. This makes it ideal for high-rise buildings, bridges, and large-span structures. Its durability and resistance to environmental factors ensure long-lasting performance even in challenging conditions.

Aluminium HE 15 flat bars are often used in beams, columns, and other load-bearing components. The lightweight nature of aluminium also makes transportation and installation more manageable, reducing labour and time during construction.

Facade Systems

Aluminium HE 15 flat bars are widely used in curtain wall systems and facades. Façade systems are responsible for the exterior appearance of buildings and play a critical role in insulation, ventilation, and protection from the elements. Aluminium's corrosion resistance makes it a perfect fit for these applications, especially in coastal or industrial areas where exposure to harsh environments is common.

Additionally, the aesthetic appeal of aluminium and its flexibility in design makes it ideal for modern architectural designs. Aluminium HE 15 flat bars often create sleek, contemporary facades that combine functionality and beauty.

Window and Door Frames

Another significant use of the Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bar is in window and door frames. In the construction industry, aluminium is the material of choice for these applications due to its durability, resistance to warping, and low maintenance. Flat bars are incorporated into sliding doors, large windows, and framed partitions, adding strength and a modern look to structures.

Aluminium windows and doors also contribute to better energy efficiency, as they help in reducing heat transfer. The high strength of HE 15 aluminium alloy ensures the frames can support large glass panels, offering stability and security.

Railings and Balustrades

Safety and durability are critical in designing railings and fences for commercial and residential buildings. Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars are often chosen for this application due to their strength and corrosion resistance, making them a safer and more cost-effective option for balconies, staircases, and terraces.

The lightweight properties of aluminium also mean that these railings can be installed quickly. They can maintain their appearance for years with the appropriate surface treatments, even with exposure to the elements.

Roofing Systems and Solar Panel Mounts

In the era of sustainable construction, solar panels have become increasingly common. Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars are often used as mounting structures for solar panels due to their light weight, resistance to weather, and structural strength. The flat bar provides a sturdy yet lightweight base for solar panels, ensuring they are securely mounted and can withstand external factors such as wind or snow.

In addition to solar panel mounts, aluminium flat bars are used in roofing systems. They provide an energy-efficient, durable solution that contributes to the building's sustainability.

Decorative Elements

Aside from structural uses, Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars are frequently employed in decorative construction elements. Architectural features such as grilles, sunshades, and signage benefit from aluminium's malleability and aesthetic flexibility. The clean finish and customizable designs make it a popular choice for architectural details that require both form and function.

Bridges and Platforms

In more heavy-duty applications, such as the construction of bridges and platforms, Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars offer a lightweight yet strong alternative to steel. Aluminium's resistance to corrosion, especially in environments with high moisture and salt exposure, makes it an excellent choice for structures that need to withstand tough conditions over extended periods.

Aluminium flat bars in bridge construction help reduce the structure's overall weight, which can result in significant cost savings, both in terms of materials and construction logistics.

To get the the best quality Flat Bars for your project, you can contact this aluminium he 15 flat bar manufacturers in India.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Aluminium HE 15 Flat Bars are critical in modern construction due to their strength, durability, and versatility. Whether for structural applications or decorative elements, their properties make them suitable for various uses, from facade systems to solar panel mounts. The lightweight nature of aluminium, combined with its corrosion resistance, ensures that it remains a preferred material in the construction industry.

If you're looking for a reliable and versatile material for your next construction project, Aluminium HE 15 flat bars could be the ideal solution.
