Foreign language cards are entirely legal in official competition. I bought many of my dual colour lands on eBay from a German dude. Always passed deck inspection. Granted that’s literally over 20 years ago and I never placed higher than 17th in qualifiers, but I can’t imagine they changed that rule.

When I still actively played and wanted to try new decks easily 10 of my cards were proxies. No point in spending €20 on a rare if it won’t make your deck better. The people I tested with did the same. We didn’t even bother printing them though. We just wrote the name down and the properties if we didn’t know them by heart.

And like others stated there’s many formats including ones that even prohibit rare cards.

And before WotC came out with a decent online way to play we also had an online client in which you could import all the cards ever, though I doubt it was superlegal.

Belgium: 20 days plus all legal holidays with extra days if they fall in the weekend. Sick days are practically unlimited, at this moment.

If first line relative dies it’s 3 days off, but decent employers would give you a week.

Sick children you can’t find care for, is a day off paid at a lower rate by the government.Though with WFH this seems to have changed to doing what you can with full pay from home, if you’re an office worker.

Starting in 2024, if I get sick during a holiday, those days off are converted to sick days and I can take those holidays later.

The idea of having to spend holidays if you get ill makes me want to burn down a building. You should try it.

PTO is such a weird thing from the outside. Why don’t you just strike and set everything on fire? No need to vote to get human rights…

There should be a good GUI for everything but a terminal offers more options to do certain things a lot faster. Especially in work environments. And once you’re used to this level of efficiency and control you’re not likely to stop doing that in your home network.
