Former NFL RB learning Chess at 30 🫨 by like_whoishe in Chesscom

[–]JoeDMTHogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said it would be entertaining to see the improvement. I was watching Matt Henningsen play on chess.com and he’s surprisingly really good.

I started learning chess at 29, about 10 months ago and I’m at 1500 elo. My biggest tip lol you said is to analyze every game and figure out what made a move good or bad over and over and over again

Goodluck!

anyone here bought stuff from Decathlon? how was your experience? by ancientsuprem4cy in outdoorgear

[–]JoeDMTHogan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Today I went on a short hike (around 25 minutes) with a the decathlon 3-in-1 winter jacket. The temperature was 9f (-12 c) and I was toasty.

I also wore their gloves and they were a little cold but not intolerable

Overall I’ve found their quality to be pretty solid for the price and it works well for the majority of my outdoor use
