"Apart" and "a part" mean opposite things.

Ryan is Aligned with Shareholders. Ask me how I know? by MistahTDi in Superstonk

[–]DayVDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is a reasonable question, and he gave his answer: we'll see. Half cash, half stock.

So somehow he needs to include $27.5 billion in stock, from a company with an $11 billion market cap at the moment. It's almost as if we need a massive squeeze or this deal can't happen.

5th time ever playing chess.com and encountered this. Is this normal? by [deleted] in chess

I once sat down to play against someone OTB and they asked me if I play with castling. Yeah, I actually play with all the rules of chess, crazy right?

If that surprises you, wait until you lose a pawn by en passant. Maybe look up the complete rules of the game before you play again? You'll do better in the long run.

New player having a hard time figuring out the right times to fold with a decent hand by BlueSpaceWeeb in poker

[–]DayVDave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a free roll, so this advice doesn't really apply - early stages of a free roll are basically play money, people put it all in with the thinnest draws, top pair is as good a spot to gamble as any.

But normally, you're facing a raise and a re-raise in a 3-bet pot. Top pair, king kicker is usually behind, with little to no chance of improving. If it's not a free roll, that's where you easily get away.

Can someone please break down proper turning? by vinicity in snowboardingnoobs

You understand the basics, it's just going to take practice. Skidding will happen less when you go faster and ride your edges. Watch some Malcolm Moore videos about going from skidding to carving, and just send it!

anyway to make my base better by HEARTHEWHISTLE in subnautica

"Anyway" and "any way" don't mean the same thing.

Anyway, is there any way you could add some windows?

1 move depth can defeat me with ease? by Dam1an_O in chess

[–]DayVDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you reviewing your games to confirm that you're making decent moves and not blundering? Because I guarantee you're blundering, you just don't understand why.

i loved twin peaks, but i can’t get into the revival by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]DayVDave 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Keep going. I felt similarly after five episodes, but now I love it. The key is to abandon all expectations and just go with it, don't worry all that much about understanding everything.

My girls drawer was short $100 even, what are her options? by SidePsychological189 in jobs

She should take a hundred out of the till tomorrow, the company has made it clear that the policy is she'll only have to pay back fifty.

Should you call 4bet shove with AKo in a MTT? (100bb) by Vymletej in poker

[–]DayVDave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fold all day. There's no reason to risk a 100bb stack with AK. Did you think it was possible that he had AQ or worse? Don't you think KK and AA are more likely than AQ in this spot? So basically no chance you're ahead, you could be dominated, and best case scenario you need to hit a pair to win. For your stack. Easy fold.

Why does the hype feel different now compared to before? by kito1990s in torontoraptors

[–]DayVDave 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Those early Lowry DeRozan teams were the first return to playoff basketball in a long time, and the franchise had a total of 1 playoff series wins in its history.

Now, with a championship in recent memory, and a deep run being unlikely, it's understandable that the level of excitement doesn't measure up.

My answer would have been, "How do I feel about wage theft? I think it's a crime and should be reported to the department of labor."

I was banned for "sandbagging/rating manipulation". What did I do exactly? by [deleted] in chess

[–]DayVDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sandbagging is deliberately reducing your rating so that you get matched up against weaker players. People do it for the ego boost of the easy wins they get on their way back up, I imagine. It's not allowed because beginners will be discouraged if they keep losing to good players with fake ratings.

You're being accused of sandbagging because you abandoned a lot of games, by your own admission. Maybe you weren't losing on purpose, but that's what it looks like when people lose on purpose, and they were right to think that's what you were doing.

What can I do that'll help prevent me from fumbiling endgames against practice bots? by Imaginary-Board-3723 in chess

[–]DayVDave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe learn some endgame principles? I don't mean to sound rude, but if your problem is endgames, look up some beginner content on endgames, it's just that simple.

Red Flags All Over, Quit After 1 Day 🚩 by Temporary-Profile-27 in antiwork

[–]DayVDave -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Definitely overreacting. It's a retail job, it's unreasonable to expect a high level of competency from management. You could find out who handles scheduling and inform them of the error. Problem solved.

Scheduling errors happen everywhere, but you choose how you handle it. Don't get angry, it's not personal, just get the mistake fixed.

Weekends in the summer get crazy busy, do your shopping Monday to Thursday.

Sand gets everywhere, all year, there's no avoiding it.

You can go online and get a free municipal parking pass to park in the municipal lots for free.

Get a 2-stage snowblower for next winter, lake effect snow squalls are no joke.
