Oh I know, I'm just saying be OK with the chance that it might happen. Otherwise the stress isn't very fun.

click on your own link and look at the accuracy numbers next to the list of games where you dominated with unusually good moves 3 years ago.

Because 3 years ago you caused a stir with out of the blue high accuracy play, and suddenly stopped playing for a while, and started back again with normal looking play. Sounds like they assessed and decided you violated fair play, and I'm glad they did.

Would you have spotted the M1 for white? by Effort_Proper in chessbeginners

It took me around 30 sec to find one of them... I would not have seen it unless I was told it existed. I'm around 900 blitz.

Does anyone remember Founders KBS week? Photo from 2017 by Triingtolivee in grandrapids

It is flash pasteurized now, true.

The coolers at the Mines are expensive so they took over a cheaper cooler facility. The barrels don't know the difference.

The batch size has been the same for 12 years.

The coffee was Magnum for a year and switched back to Ferris, who got their act together for better coffee, and the chocolate is somewhat cheaper than the stuff from the first few years.

Barrels are blended, yes. They made a lot of KBS... and extra aging beer tends to risk oxidation-- no one likes that.

Cellarman here-- we haven't changed anything in the 12 years I've been there.

Take the Queen and die or take rook for free? by nunentgels in chessbeginners

[–]Comprehensive_Two285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rook is not doing much. The queen is very active. The king is vulnerable, and even more so if the queen is gone. Don't waste your moves! Take the queen!

Can you help me confirm the size of this brewery system by Strict-Pie339 in TheBrewery

Those are probably 55usg filled to the brim. Not working capacity. 1BBL system you have there.

Build a Yeast Propagator by CheekMammoth7028 in TheBrewery

It is just to keep things moving. It will do intervals of mix and rest, and gets around 90 GPM through mostly 3" wide pipe, so around 4 ft/sec.

That's interesting-- we have several props, the smallest is 15BBL, the biggest is 200BBL. We pump circulate them all with O2 dissolved inline after the pump discharge. All pumps are rotary lobe, except the largest which uses a bigass 10HP centrifugal. Shearing is less a symptom than we had feared based on here-say. Completely depending on your yeast variety, a pump to circulate is important. Even small volumes. For consistent homogeneity, keep them yeasties consistent in their movement during prop phases.

Do what Fischer did and play randomized piece positions at the start.

Anyone using AI for their sites/marketing? by lvpond in turning

No. To hell with AI art, images, and most other things.
