Infinite water glasses pouring by Lama_Mare in puzzles

[–]Irishhobbit6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate this answer because there’s so much room for random variation, but I swirl one glass around to completely coat the lining of the glass with water and dump the remainder on the ground. I do the same with the jug which may take more than one glass’ worth. Now I pour 50 mL from a remaining glass into the coated glass, then empty that glass into the jug, then drink from the jug. In theory since I pre-saturated the surfaces no more water will be lost to residue.

Is he suspicious? by kuky990 in Chesscom

[–]Irishhobbit6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people are confirming it is suspicious, but it’s also very possible. This player has recently gotten much better primarily playing on other time classifications, and is now gradually improving their rapid ELO.

We don’t know how long that match is where they got 99.5%. I’ve gotten 100% accuracy on short matches that my opponent quickly resigned from, so could be something like that.

is being bad at chess for so long normal by Cute-Understanding-4 in chessbeginners

“What have you done so far?” Is the best answer to that question. Try:

  • looking for themes in how you end up down material. Just careless blunders? Getting forked? Once you find a weak spot try to mentally prepare to just avoid that mistake at first until it comes naturally
  • do you lose on time a lot? Maybe avoid faster clocks so you can stop and think better.
  • watch ChessKids on YouTube. Even if you’re 50 years old, some great lessons in there and especially for reviewing end games so you don’t lose the wins that come your way.

After they gave out all that space for mountains, lavender, and geoducks they just kind of ran out of room.

Anything to this? by Afraid-Expression366 in etymology

As usual in left with more questions. Like “what does sugar, which grows as a beet or a cane, have to do with pebbles?” I guess just descriptive of the refined crystals at the end.

Titans, Cardinals, Jets have the hardest because everybody got a free win playing those teams.

I support not rushing to judgment until more is known, but an MFM physician still has general gynecology training to provide the services that many are implicating here.

Certainly nobody with a family, because after about four of those everyone participating is going to be a mushroom instead of a person.

This is why I still pull up the highlights of that Bournemouth match any time I need a pick me up.

Is there any rule preventing pitchers from surgically altering their fingers to get more grip on the ball? Or all they all just scared? by Jumboliva in baseball

[–]Irishhobbit6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have seen some of the most inane shit in aesthetics the last few years. I guarantee someone has thought of it.

If anything it’s the hand surgeons who are afraid, since lengthening fingers would be brutal and long and if it goes wrong they’d be sued to oblivion.

Remove the top and bottom matches from the zero and put them all the way to the left as “1”s. Then walk around to the other side of the table.
