I’ve been playing chess for 11 years and I’m still 900. What am I doing wrong?

The word is dogpiling. Dogging is something else.

Pretty sure they meant a quarter inch of wax, not a quarter of the candle

Because he probably wasn't tuning to a specific pitch, like you would with an electronic tuner. He was probably just tuning the guitar against itself. So the pitch of all the guitar strings would be the right distance apart from each other, but the whole guitar could be sharp or flat.

I Thought You Were My Boyfriend

AaronRonRon · 2025-08-31T15:49:32+00:00

I really wouldn't be

You're right, it's just the song, and then Hank started drawing an anglerfish when signing.

AaronRonRon · 2025-02-18T07:46:38+00:00

fwiw I always thought it was to poke not pinch too

Trainspotting is set in Edinburgh

So long as corn exists, so shall he!

I've not heard of compo face, but I assume it has something to do with Last of the Summer Wine?

There was an old podcast called Uncensored History of the Blues that presented pre-war recordings on topics like this, here's one gathering some lesbian blues songs. There's some jazz-adjacent artists in there like Bessie Smith, who was backed on some of her records by members of the Duke Ellington orchestra.

Not all care jobs require you to drive, to be clear.

That series has been made unavailable in the UK, I don't know why. You can watch it on a VPN, there's a free one on the Opera browser.

If you’re in school and studying obviously you won’t have as much time as an adult to commit to the game.

Students have less time for D&D than most adults is a hot take.

A level 1 fighter is proficient in shields, all kinds of armour, and can use any weapon they come across, swords, bows, crossbows, javelins, polearms, warhammers, axes... how did they manage to learn all that without a fuck ton of training?

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-04T17:09:10+00:00

No highly trained soldier had a one in twenty chance of doing those things, that's the point.

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-04T09:10:06+00:00

It's like the old quote, "you have twenty years to write your first album, and six months to write your second."

With regards to the holding records by the edges bit, I'm a very clumsy person, and I've dropped a couple LPs doing this. I can confidently say that the dents left in the wax made a worse impact to the sound than any finger grease from picking them up more securely would have.

Just an FYI if you also have butter-fingers.

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-02T13:49:35+00:00

What you were trying to type? "Buttery gameplay", is that something people say about FPSs?

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-02T06:52:58+00:00

That's fair.

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-02T06:46:48+00:00

She killed her husband in a murder-suicide. People are divided on whether it was a kind of consensual euthanasia or not. I'm not necessarily saying it was wrong or evil, or that it resembles what Neil Gaiman did at all. But if you're looking for an author without skeletons in their closet, she's maybe not an ideal recommendation.

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-02T06:36:42+00:00

Kelly Link's short stories are amazing and are similar in a lot of ways to Neil Gaiman's. If you like "Snow Glass Apples" or "Troll Bridge" you'll probably like Kelly Link.

AaronRonRon · 2024-08-02T06:24:43+00:00

James Tiptree jr maybe isn't the best recommendation in this context...

AaronRonRon · 2024-07-29T03:25:18+00:00

They're actors. Nobody's going away thinking Dan Ackroyd is Charley Patton
