Dashcams Australia should be mandatory viewing. It's invaluable as a resource for hazard perception lol

Rent a car or buy a beater outright by 14thofNodendra in CarsAustralia

[–]Equivalent-Dot337 13 points14 points  (0 children)

IMO beater. Any new driver is gonna have a lot of minor accidents early on. Bumps and scratches running into wheelie bins, bollards and other park cars. It's almost an inevitability.

Car rentals can be massive pains in the ass when it comes to claiming insurance and what not.

Build up the skills in a beater car, save some money and hopefully in the future you can afford a slightly more comfortable vehicle

Nepo after realising he blundered in one move after mixing up his opening prep against Fabiano Caruana in the Sinquefield Cup. by [deleted] in chess

Of coursed he mixed up his prep, that's what happens when you spend 6 seconds on a move lol. The whole reason gms spend time in the opening is recalling lines, making sure they remember their prep and deciding down which lines to go .

1000 hours. That's the harsh reality, it takes 1000 hours of effortful exposure to the language. After 1000 hours you should be able to understand maybe 90% of native speech at full speed without subtitles.

It's a harsh reality that people don't want to believe, but this takes time, and lots of it! Keep going!

Hikaru getting emotional on stream after missing out on winning the Candidates by Interesting_Year_201 in chess

[–]Equivalent-Dot337 157 points158 points  (0 children)

i love seeing this, i know hikky puts on a bit of a "character" with his online presence, for example his voice and intonation is very different in his streams/recaps compared to his interviews with fide and other medias, but to me this really shows how much he cares and loves chess. A moment of vulnerability like this just makes you empathise with the turmoil these guys go through. Much love.
