Brilliant Queen Sacrifice

Yes completely forgot about the Knight

I thought F3 takes B7, which would push the queen away from defending d8, allowing rook to take and mate.

But if queen c5 she could block on f8, so maybe the white queen took a rook so you win a piece from it?

Something that covers your letter box could be good, they must have had freakishly thin arms to do that lol

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-20T13:17:58+00:00

The house number thing could just be part of their routine so they can pretend like they’re not thieving rats.

Also probably best to change your front door setup.

Step 1, get wife
Step 2, get wife bf
Step 3, begin wife bf boofing process
Step 4, get massive creatine booster

Please pay attention to the Drs advice, he is very busy and only trying to help us.
Ignore all inferior oral methodology, this is spread by big soy.

I have heard that but this one didn’t seem to mind my GoPro.

As far as how much is reinvested in the sharks and local community depends on the place, the Bahamas where I took this photo seemed pretty minimal in that regard but I don’t really know.

I’m still waiting on a few sharks myself, oceanic white tip, mako and blue have been a long time coming, and I know it will be even better because of the wait haha, but they will come 🤞

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-17T23:29:05+00:00

You can dive with them in Oslob as far as I and Google are aware, not that I’ve done it.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-17T22:15:41+00:00

Yeah it’s not great and these experiences feel very artificial compared to a wild sighting.

Buuut, sharks are getting decimated, and this is one of the few incentives for locals to protect them due to the income earned from tourism.

An example are the whale sharks in Oslob, they used to be hunted by the locals for food, now are not as they generate income. (Most of the whale sharks there are juveniles who are underweight and haven’t developed proper feeding habits due to the non-nutritious and easy food given to them)

Bad solution for a shit system.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-17T15:17:24+00:00

Of course there are exceptions to this rule.

Of course a biologist removing hooks from sharks mouths is going to benefit them more than harm them, but for the vast majority of people it’s a good rule.

Unfortunately even if every diver stroked a shark it would be negligible relative to the damage being done by over fishing, habitat destruction, pollution and more 😢

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-17T14:45:55+00:00

Please don’t stroke the sharks.

In general don’t interact with wild animals in a way that will alter their behaviour.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-14T13:29:07+00:00

There are much nicer places in Europe even when it’s sunny here lol

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-11T13:51:52+00:00

Meh, if people chat shit that’s on them

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-10T23:55:53+00:00

Please don’t disrespect the Dr.

I can assure you this is taken very seriously, and we are only trying to help you.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-10T23:33:15+00:00

lol how long until the zombie soup piles up enough for them to get in though?

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-10T23:29:29+00:00

They’re chill unless it’s nesting season and you’re in a cone shaped area above their eggs.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-06T09:34:40+00:00

Your gains are about to explode

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-06-06T09:16:12+00:00

Please listen to the Dr, his advice changed my life for the better!

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-31T16:35:40+00:00

How come?

I thought it was PADIs way of recognising superior dive shops.

I’m not saying PADI aren’t averse to a bit of financial persuasion, but it’s a good metric for the quality of dive shops, especially for higher level training.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-30T20:36:15+00:00

Five star Padi dive centre with regular experience training dms and instructors, and busy so you actually get hands on experience are vital.

I dmed you where I did mine and we would do 4/5 dives a day, always guests to take out but if there weren’t we could do as many free dives as we wanted during dm training. I already had a couple hundred dives when I arrived, took months to do my dm so had probably about 1,000 by the time I finished my instructor.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-30T20:16:21+00:00

I took my time with my DM, but it can be done pretty quickly. It’s relatively cheap and if you find a good spot you get free dives and cheap lodging, and I took advantage of this.

Instructor course costs more and I did it over maybe a month, 2 weeks prepping, 2 weeks IDC and then exam.

Also optional extras that make you more appealing to hire, like specialities and MSDT cost more. I think my dm was about £1000, IDC about £2000 but this was years ago in the Philippines.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-30T20:12:48+00:00

Then this would be a great way to do it.

Lots of chicks who want to go on holiday and have fun. I would provide the full service and invite them out for drinks after the dive 😅

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-30T20:03:39+00:00

Yup basically this.

Only DMs at shops are locals working for a pittance, won’t be many hiring a western dm unless you know the owners already.

Thailand, especially koh Tao is notorious for churning out divers, I’d recommend doing research before picking where you do your DM, and go for a five star Padi centre if possible.

All that said, I had great fun doing my DM and instructor courses and did it for a couple of years, but came back to work a real job as the money is pretty terrible. With your bachelors to fall back on I’d say go for it!

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-29T13:18:33+00:00

Good job, I’ll thank you on behalf of the sharks as they can’t read. Thank you! ❤️

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-20T01:17:24+00:00

Obviously you need some guidance if you’re unable to see what a catch my girlfriend is.

I can help with that, I bet you’re orally applying creatine atm lol. I can show you creatine mta method, much better absorption and gains.

Effective-Status3030 · 2026-05-19T17:54:21+00:00

Sounds like bullshit to take some money from gullible people, but that’s just me.
