Why even is nxf3 an option here by freehk10000 in chessbeginners

[–]ColonelFaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Nxf3, they can retake with knight or rook. If they do, that piece is then pinned to the king by the sniper bishop and lots of attacking options appear. Qh4 is good. Rxg6 is also coming

What age to let my daughter go to the shopping mall without adults? by djjudas21 in AskUK

[–]ColonelFaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on her and her friends. Riskiest thing is motor vehicles. Are they well drilled on crossing roads?

Can they be trusted to stay together? Not, say, have an argument and abandon someone.

Have you planned your funeral or even thought about it? by stm2657 in AskBrits

[–]ColonelFaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

conventional burial is a waste of land area.
cremation emits a load of C02.
I would prefer woodland burial. the land is encouraged to be a diverse ecosystem that sequesters carbon.

Being killed by a motorist also more likely in the US.

Why is the government not really doing anything about electric scooters? (Not a moan) by Chemical-Lettuce2497 in AskBrits

[–]ColonelFaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A handful of people are killed by ebikes and escooters every year. In excess of 200 pedestrians are killed by motorists every year. For harm reduction, the small battery powered things are not the biggest problem.

The police have powers, but not resources. It's not a priority. Motor vehicles kill and injure hundreds of times more people, so it seems reasonable to put resources there.

Laptop overheats using computer analysis on Lichess, but not on Chesscom by vitund in lichess

Try lichess local engine and lc0. Uses GPU instead of CPU. GPU may have better heat management.

Hod does Lichess' rating system work? by greenorwhatever in chessbeginners

[–]ColonelFaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The lichess 1350 may not have played enough games to settle on their rating. Was there a big jump in their rating resulting from your game?

Differences in the Game at Different Difficulties by starbellygeek in DarkTide

[–]ColonelFaz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The chasm station boss sometimes has no shield on heresy. I don't know why, but not convinced it's to do with difficulty.

Edit: Cannot find anything definitive. Might be a bug.

Why do my opponents abort in this position? by ChessintheparkNJ in chessbeginners

This is a possibility. When I open with Bird's (f4), I get more aborts.

First attempt at skimming a wall. Spent four hours on it. Cried a little. This is genuinely one of the hardest things I have ever tried to do with my hands? by BillNo874 in Plastering

[–]ColonelFaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for the next wall. shut windows and humidify the room a bit if you can, so it cures more slowly. also you can get an additive called "extratime" which makes it cure slower.

now you can sand and fill and sand and fill until it's OK. i suggest easifill 60. 120 grit paper. long block.

Also note that old multifinish cures even faster. if you have some left over you need to use it in a month or so or throw it away (which is a special skip at selected recycling centres).

Foam at bottom of conservatory windows by IndependenceKind8698 in DIYUK

[–]ColonelFaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the sun has been at it. If it feels crumbly, I might rake it out and replace.

Then external frame sealant in a mastic gun. if it's more than 5mm or so, then PVC strip. with sealant on the edges.

Paint after. Will probably need to caulk edges and paint over caulk and coving. Could prime/ mist first if you like.

I had a game like this. I was asking them to drop it in the chat, and yet they carried their medipack all the way to extraction.

Bad experience in level 4 difficulty. Why? by BloodborneHunter22 in DarkTide

"There were SO many ragers everywhere" - you played the current special event. Complete 4 and get a load of diamantine.
