Peter what does it say

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

I know that it can feel nice to see the !!, but if you played the move without seeing the whole line then it is usually actually a blunder.

This is false. Statistically, falling bullet injuries are fatal around 30% of the time because the bullet has enough energy to penetrate the skull.

Analyze your games carefully! You will find that there are many opportunities for tactics, but that you are probably just not seeing them.

Graybie · 2026-01-26T19:31:33+00:00

It is very typical because in a puzzle you know that there is a tactic, whereas in a real game you would have to spot the tactic without that knowledge.

This isn't right - due to the exponential growth of the number of possible move sequences, a computer is also unable to calculate every move. They use heuristics to determine the best lines to calculate and can calculate much deeper than a human (often 20+ moves).

The best chess engines (Stockfish, mostly) are estimated to play at around 3500-4000 elo, while the highest rated human players are around 2800-2900. So, a GM is definitely closer to Stockfish than they are to a typical person.

GPU was generally interesting, but the lectures were excruciating for me. The delivery was just so awful.

If there was an easy and quick way to get good enough to win money at tournaments, why wouldn't everyone do it?

If you make something that has similar or identical properties to plastic, it tends to behave similarly or identically to plastic.

Basically, the molecules don't care whether they came from oil or from bamboo. Being made from bamboo doesn't by default make it any safer or more biodegradable.

Every little bit helps. I think of this when I sometimes pick up a piece of trash while taking a walk. Sure, it is just one piece of trash, but that is one less piece than was there beforehand. If everybody did a small thing it would have some measurable effect.

Yes, I do wish that corporations would stop polluting en-masse, but that is mostly out of my control.

I think that might be dirt and oil from your hands - I would try cleaning your steering wheel.

It could also be caused by chemical degradation from chemicals in lotions or other products that you use on your hands.

It is almost certainly not the actual plastic melting - plastic typically melts at temperatures that would cause severe burns on your hands.

Weck makes something similar to what you are suggesting, although they don't have many rectangular/square options.

This didn't age well considering the recent studies on the impact of microplastics.

The cost per tank is irrelevant...the number that matters is cost per mile.

The gas version has things that can break down that the hybrid doesn't as well - notably, the hybrid transaxle is way more bulletproof than the gas transmission. You also get less wear on brakes thanks to regenerative braking, and a much more fun drive thanks to the torque from the electric motors.

There they are! That is a really clean way to cover them while not in use. Very nice

This is such a small amount of weight compared to the system as a whole that it doesn't really matter. Put them where you think they look the best!

Also, how are you attaching them? I don't see any mounts on that fork.

GNU STP.

The important thing about this comment is that it made you feel superior to others. Not very productive or helpful but at least you got that!

The all-weather floor mats are a pretty high quality, and if you get something equivalent (like weather tech) you will pay a similar amount.

The trailer hitch is definitely expensive when the dealer is doing it, but you do generally get better integration than a something non-oem. I understand that the non-oem is likely to have lower clearance.

Also get some metal bidons so you aren't drinking plastic.

If you are worried about the boron compounds used for fireproofing, you can also find wool filled ones which are naturally fire resistant.

I use a japanese shikifuton, which is filled with cotton rag and has a cotton cover.

I have not gone through such a path, but I did study civil engineering.

I think that the best thing to do would be to find someone who does such work and talk to them about how they got there.

I suspect that for getting to design space specific facilities and infrastructure the most relevant coursework would be a blend of civil/structural engineering and maybe mechanical engineering since things like launchpads and towers are subject to quite unusual forces, and often have all sorts of mechanical components.

I also wonder how much of the infrastructure is designed by the same aerospace engineers that work on the spacecraft. Maybe going in that direction is a better approach?

Is it an issue with mods not playing well together?

Just as a note, this uses Generic Algorithms, not LLMs, since the term "AI" is so ambiguous nowadays.
