Re: 2023 ACF Nationals Specific Question Discussion
A minor note re: the manganese tossup in Prelims 6. Heusler compounds can contain any transition metal. While it's true that the first Heusler alloy discovered contained manganese at its center, that first clue is not true of Heusler alloys in general.

Re: Summer Opens?
I know there used to be a side event weekend in Michigan before the pandemic – is there any chance of it returning this summer?

With Arjun's post in mind, would a Sunday date (not 4/2 or 4/23) be possible?

I know the Fort Osage “Pass the AUX Cord III” tournament has been pushed toward SSNCT by some people going there, but I don’t think anything’s confirmed yet.

Re: 2018 SSNCT Pre-Nats Discussion
I know I’m biased, but with our full A-Team, I think Ottawa Hills has a great shot at a Top 5-8 finish and VSS title.

I second the SSNCT suggestion. I know a lot of SSNCT participants won’t be going to HSNCT, so it would be great to have some side events there, especially since it will likely a lot of people’s first trash experiences.

Re: I'm bored so let's suggest music
My favorite band right now is probably Palm. Listen to their albums Trading Basics and Shadow Expert if you're into math rock. In the same math rock vein, Women's album Public Strain is insane. Other then that, I've been bumping the new King Krule record and a lot of Alvvays.
