In the precursor to this video (Magic: The Gathering & the Death of the Future) I complain how Kamigawa's lore was changed for no other reason than to include a TMNT reference in its return.
I really should have considered that the entire game system was being remade to sell collectable simulacra.

A MTG card:

Shell of the Last Kappa
{3}
Legendary Artifact

{3}, {T}: Exile target instant or sorcery spell that targets you. (The spell has no effect.)

{3}, {T}, Sacrifice Shell of the Last Kappa: You may cast a spell from among cards exiled with Shell of the Last Kappa without paying its mana cost.

An MTG Card:

Kappa Tech-Wrecker
{1}{G}
Creature — Turtle Ninja

Ninjutsu {1}{G}

This creature enters with a deathtouch counter on it.

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may remove a deathtouch counter from it. When you do, exile target artifact or enchantment that player controls.

1/3

A MTG card:

Leonardo, Sewer Samurai
{3}{W}
Legendary Creature — Mutant Ninja Turtle Samurai

Sneak {2}{W}{W}

Double strike

During your turn, you may cast creature spells with power or toughness 1 or less from your graveyard. If you cast a spell this way, that creature enters with a finality counter on it. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

3/3

guy in a legal advice reddit wants to know how to get out of paying google the money he owes them after vibe coding one of his apps into running 40 times a second for several days straight, but says it's not his fault bc they should have stopped him by making it harder to use

Google want to charge me 7 k for API access what can I do as they are denying appeals
Debt & Money
Hi there and thanks for reading.
I tried to keep this brief and just ended up rambling on trying to get as much in as possible so here is my edited hopefully a lot smaller problem.
Google are charging me 7k for a mistake that I told them about within a day, the bill went from about £45 to 16k in a day! when I asked for help I was told "dont worry well reset it as a one off, you'll need to put measures in place and ill guide you through those after you agree" So i did he then said "I will monitor it for a further 24 - 48 hours and then tell you how to put the measures in place. " Less than 24 hours later the bill was now 23k and I found out how to stop it myself. Then came the long back and forth to get it reset.
Fast forward 5 months they have finally given me a 20k credit but with VAT the total bill at the time of the credit was 27k
The 20k would have cleared the costs at the time of making them aware they claim its both our responsibilities to monitor costs I feel I did that by contacting them as soon as I saw the irregularity.
I asked them to reconsider they said no the appeal has said that is their final offer so 1 now owe 7k.
Is there anything I can do here from a legal standpoint. I don't have 7k I barely have £45.
Thanks for reading I am in England if it helps.

Intentional or not, OP used either 36k (16 + 20) or 43k (16 + 27) of API credit. Obviously what API it is matters, but with google maps, 16k would equate to ten million pulls. Or two hundred thousand Gemini 2.5 calls with 1000 token input and 5k token output.
Those aren't numbers that something running correctly should run up for any average person or company. So either google screwed up something (which is unlikely that it would only happen to one person in the entire network) or OP has some app or something which isn't running properly and is sending too much to the API.
Edit: It was OP's app, polling google maps nearly 40 times a second for days.

According to other posts he ended up polling Google maps direction API 2300 times per minute for a few days. Looks like a combination of OP not knowing coding and asking ChatGPT to do it for him, and potentially Google's backend doing something weird in interpreting the janky code.

So JKR not only wasn't homeless, ever, but that 'delapidated flat' (it was a studio and she felt like she was too good for it) was roach invested and gross because she didn't do house work for four years, by her own admission. 🤢

genuinely wbat does casting the top card of your library if it's equal to or less than ryan's power have to do with anything in the extremely underwritten characterization of ryan sinclair

he's a disabled guy with daddy issues

you have like, maybe league of legends and elder scrolls and probably game of thrones as viable settings I guess

cyberpunk might work

as much as I would hate to see it they could make star wars work

UB works almost exclusively in setting that are lore sinks with lots of factions and dudes that fight shit, that's it, you can't turn everything into mtg, it just doesn't work

I'm sorry but you're putting out a teenage mutant ninja turtles set? How, how exactly, are you going to have a set for a franchise that is just fucking like a few handfuls of named characters

what grand setting to explore is there in fucking ninja turtles

I don't even hate all of them, the warhammer set was fine, warhammer has enough content and the right tone to actually fucking work with magic

fallout was okay as well

final fantasy even worked

but then there's shit like avatar repeatedly having like 5 cards that are just the same character

and these UB sets clearly aren't even compatible with mtg in general half the time what with the doctor who and avatar sets being nonsensical for the former and with too little content to actually adapt in the latter

now all we get are fucking hat sets and corporate tie in sets and the love this setting once had in its craft went down the fucking drain aside from the rare occasion where we get something like the tarkir return
