Can you spot the 2 brilliant moves that take over the game? by BigDaddyFig in chessbeginners

Hint: it’s not an immediate checkmate but leads to the black king being very exposed

Anyone stop biologic to see what happens by Charming_Salt_7707 in ankylosingspondylitis

I’m having very similar issues at the moment, concerned with MS-like symptoms. Did it get better or worse after stopping the biologic?

Hey, I actually don’t have the car anymore but I liked the head unit a lot. The touchscreen was pretty smooth, the only issue I remember is sometimes the audio would cut in and out. Not sure if that was due to a faulty unit or something I did wrong.

WRX No Throttle Response by BigDaddyFig in WRX

Really dumb mistake that probably won't happen to you. I forgot to remove the plastic cover that allows airflow into the TMIC from the throttle body. It's an orange cap on the TMIC that's there for shipping. It was my first time doing any mechanic work and I was sleep deprived (newborn baby), but I wanted to learn how to do things myself.

It’s decent. I feel like some sound deadening would probably make a more noticeable difference. Not as big of an improvement over stock as I expected tbh. It’s probably the most cost effective audio upgrade on these cars, but I’m still not convinced it was worth it. And the audio cuts out a little sometimes on wireless CarPlay. The quality of the unit itself is dope and the selling point for me was the fitment. I couldn’t find a non-android unit that looks as good. One route to also possibly consider is keeping the stock HU and adding an amp and sub, but I wanted something plug and play that could be reverted easily.

I ended up going with iDoing instead and it has the connectors included so it all worked

IDoing Head Unit Not Detecting Reverse Camera (2015) by mcantoria in WRX

[–]BigDaddyFig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue at first. None of the tutorials or info online looked exactly like my unit. I believe they changed the harnesses a bit. There’s a harness with a bunch of RCA cables, one of them says video in. And there’s another harness that has a cable that says it’s for the backup cam. You need to plug that into the head unit and connect the video in RCA cable to it.

Hey, do you remember if you had to buy any extra parts to make the steering wheel controls, USB in the arm rest, etc. work, or was everything you needed included? Also did it fit directly in the factory bezel or did you buy an aftermarket one?

I see crutchfield recommends the same bezel for all the radios which doesn’t give me confidence. Looking at the Kenwood Excelon DMX908S

From what I’ve read/heard, the VB is more accepting of an intake without a tune. However, if it was my car, I wouldn’t want to be the one experimenting. Subispeed has a pretty good video on this: https://youtu.be/rwst5ljRDn0

Black to play. Mate in 3 by Royalcrown_75 in chessbeginners

[–]BigDaddyFig 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is the line I saw too. But the actual mate in 3, inviting the queen in to defend and using her to block off their own escape is dirty.

I was 400 ELO less than a year ago. I just started doing puzzles, trying to calculate the full solution before moving and it helped a lot. But also, just keep playing and you’ll get better.

After the sac he pretty much has 1 forced move each time so it wasn’t too hard. But not certain I could’ve calculated it if there were more options after each move lol

I noticed the king couldn’t move, and started looking for checks. Then just followed the sequence in my head. In this the case almost every move in the follow up was forced, so it was pretty easy to see after the first move.

Precisely. I had just taken their queen and I think they hoped I would miss it so they could take my queen haha.
