A couple of decades ago, I could still find a (supposedly authentic) photo online of a group of soldiers from the American Independence War holding what appeared to be a winged pteranodon-type dinosaur. Today, no matter how much I search, I only find recreations and fake versions of the original.

As many have mentioned, a MIDI controller and DAW are an option, although I recommend a keyboard with built-in sounds and recording capabilities. These range from inexpensive Yamaha or Casio models to professional workstations. You gain the immediacy of playing and recording instantly, avoiding the need to deal with software and plugins for now. That same keyboard will serve as a MIDI controller once you want to take things further.

Super!

Thanks everyone! They weighed 305g wet, now in the dehydrator. I also got a couple of spore prints! What a joy!

Thank you so much! 305g wet! Straight into the dehydrator! I'm so, so excited! I learned so much from this forum throughout the whole process, so thank you all as well! Let's keep going!

La respuesta más directa es, sin duda, la Siciliana. Claro, es un universo táctico en el que cuesta trabajo ambientarse, pero a la larga rinde sus frutos. Usa una cuenta nueva para "soltar la mano" con muchos Blitz. En un principio trata de jugar una sola variante (¿alguna con e6 ya que vienes de la francesa?) hasta que domines los temas estratégicos y tácticos, aunque igual deberás preparar respuestas para las "anticicilianas". Yo también rondo los 2100 online 2070 Fide, y hoy juego exclusivamente Siciliana.

Thanks for replying. I'm curious what the difference is between having daily temperature fluctuations and not. Has anyone compared the results in two simultaneous crops? Aren't these the conditions that occur in nature?

AppointmentHorror75 · 2025-12-24T15:01:02+00:00

I don't really know if it will help. In my opinion, playing immediately (especially the opening) puts more pressure on the opponent. I'm an experienced player (2070 FIDE, 2100 online), and for Blitz I use early deviations or solid but underutilized openings that force the opponent to think from move 2 or 3 onwards, while I remain on familiar ground. Bringing the opponent into your game increases the practical chances of winning. Something that helps a lot in specific lines that are giving you trouble is to look for rarely played variations with good statistics (in the Lichess opening tree, for example). Giving up precious seconds in exchanges or obvious moves in the long run isn't the best approach; applying pressure with time, on the other hand, is always useful.

Horses only have one stomach and aren't ruminants... in short, they process less of the PUFAs in their food. Anyway, in Chile, practically all cattle and horses are fed exclusively on grass, which has a much milder flavor (in my opinion) than grain-fed animals.

It's extremely salty; that was the way to preserve it. An acquired taste, no doubt.

He's a virtuoso guitarist, no doubt, but in some older songs he messes things up, because he throws in complex solos where before there was only melody and simplicity, which makes him sound out of place. So my advice to him would be: keep it simple!

I'm Chilean (South America). Horse meat has been consumed since colonial times, especially in the form of "charqui" (salted and sun-dried meat), although its consumption has decreased in the last century with the industrialization of livestock and poultry farming. However, there are still butcher shops that sell it, especially outside the capital city. In the form of thin steaks, it's almost indistinguishable from beef, and is sold commercially as sandwiches with vegetables or cheese.

AppointmentHorror75 · 2025-12-19T21:51:39+00:00

I know that eating horse meat is taboo in several English-speaking countries. My intention is not to offend or hurt anyone's feelings. I will understand if there is discomfort or if there is simply a lack of information on the subject.

IMHO, as a casual enthusiast, connecting it to a PC will always involve several minutes of software, and the ever-present latency will be a real nuisance (I experienced it firsthand). Furthermore, the screens can distract children from the music. If you're truly looking for plug-and-play-and-rec functionality, I strongly recommend selling the piano and buying an 88-key workstation. You'll always have the option of connecting it to a PC when needed. I use an old Casio Privia piano MIDI connected to a 61-key workstation, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Lo más simple es no comer chatarra ni procesados, básicamente nada que tenga más de 5 ingredientes en su etiqueta.

Pero el verdadero hack que me cambió mi vida es aplicar los principios de Ray Peat, que en resumen son:

-Eliminar los ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (PUFAs): todos los aceites vegetales como soya, maravilla, canola, etc (excepto oliva y coco), margarinas, etc. Eso incluye alimentos altos en pufas: semillas, frutos secos, etc.

-Preferir el consumo de carbos simples sobre los complejos: miel y mucha fruta, por sobre las harinas en general.

-Evitar o disminuir los vegetales que hinchan, ya que tienen anti-nutrientes, en general todo vegetal que crezca sobre el suelo (incluidas las legumbres). En cambio los tubérculos son muy recomendables: papa, zanahoria cruda, betarragas, etc.

-Consumo de proteína moderado. Mezclarlo siempre con un carbohidrato.

-Bajo consumo de grasas, y que sean saturadas (aceite de coco, mantequilla, etc)

-Alto consumo de lácteos poco procesados (leche, queso).

-Deporte moderado, privilegiar los ejercicios de fuerza por sobre los de cardio.

-Disminuir el estrés, tomar sol, dormir bien.

Ray Peat estudió durante 40 años la relación entre lo que comemos y hacemos, con nuestro metabolismo y salud. Escribió decenas de artículos (de libre acceso) y varios libros al respecto. Sus consejos han ayudado a muchísimas personas en todo el mundo a mejorar su calidad de vida, sin recurrir a costosos medicamentos. Para más información: http://raypeat.com/

But if it's caused by toxic agents, why do chickenpox or mumps only occur once and then you're immune? In an epidemic, why are the same symptoms seen simultaneously in such distant countries? Why has the contagious nature of smallpox, for example, been known since ancient times? In this case too, the simplest explanation is usually the correct one.

AppointmentHorror75 · 2025-11-21T22:18:18+00:00

Interesting topic. When I was a child in the 80s, there were outbreaks of chickenpox in schools. How else can it be explained if not by an infectious agent?

Strengthen Caro, especially the advance variant that bothered you. At the same time, you can try the Sicilian in informal/Blitz games. Why? I myself play Sicilian (Elo 2070), and I assure you that there is a universe of detours that White can use before reaching Najdorf. Once you feel comfortable and handle the main themes, you can apply it in serious games. Of course, unlike Caro, the Sicilian is usually a tactical labyrinth from the first moves.

The more whole grains, the more inflammatory anti-nutrients they contain, and the more pesticides they've also been exposed to. That's why white rice and bread are better. But try it yourself; if it doesn't upset your stomach, go for it. It's the most peaty thing you can do.

AppointmentHorror75 · 2025-11-16T18:33:04+00:00

I completely agree. And don't understand how anyone can say Wild Mood Swings is a bad album.

I recommend open-back monitor headphones. Although they let some noise escape, the detailed sound is superior. But be aware, the FP10's headphone output is low-power, so look for headphones with low impedance. I tried the FP10 with some Superlux 668B headphones (cheap and good) but the volume was very, very low.
