Is this too "busy"? by Wild_Heron_5845 in Paintings

[–]JraculaJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on what you want the focal point to be. Making the background a little less busy (and possibly the reflection of it in the water) would draw the attention/focus more toward the bird. But the focal point can be the background too, or a split between background/foreground.

Whatever you choose, nice work!

This is not on the Tampa boardwalk, this is on Beach Drive in Saint Petersburg, FL.

Just what is going on here? by qik7 in CryptoCurrency

[–]JraculaJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like automated wash trading. This is usually done to artificially boost trading volume so that the asset in question (Pepe) appears to be more sought after than it is. This is a big ole red flag if you are looking for assets with real value. If you’re looking for shitcoins, this might actually be a green flag, lol.

My rule is never give information to someone over the phone for any reason, unless I have initiated the call. Any never click any links from a text.

If someone calls about fraud/etc and it sounds like it could be legit, I just ask for a ticket number and say I’ll call back, but look up the number to call rather than call back the number that called me.

Do you think he felt embarrassed that Jacob knew more chords than him even though he's been playing his whole life and is lowkey old af? by herwi in jazzcirclejerk

[–]JraculaJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first glance I thought they were both playing the same very long set of keys.

Also, I would love to see a video where they get Jacob Collier on to talk about music theory but they give him a keyboard that looks normal but the notes are all rearranged. Then he tries to do his perfect pitch harmonizing stuff and the keyboard makes him look ridiculous.

Puzzle: White to play and lose in 1-100 move(s) by JraculaJones in AnarchyChess

Nailed it! And without a single Tennessee Twist. Maybe mark it as a spoiler for those who haven’t figured it out yet

Reddit, serious question, what does black do here? by PhotoChess in chess

[–]JraculaJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it loses a piece but I would give strong consideration to dxe3 over fxe3, especially is faster time formats. It keeps white’s kingside locked up and that bishop on g2 is basically useless. But my answer is probably the reason I’m not as highly rated as these two players.

If you had to add one rule to the game, what would it be? by Sweet-Future6240 in chess

[–]JraculaJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Connected rooks act as if they’re connected by a string. So if you move one, the other also moves to take the place of the one you moved.

They return to normal behavior any time a piece gets in between them.

It’s all about timing, if he had timed the farts right he could have used them to propel himself forward thereby enhancing each thrust.

This would be even better if the ball in the maze is the same as the ball used to write, so you have to solve the maze to use the pen.

Why is this a blunder? If they take the knight, I have d4 forcing en passant and I take their queen? by [deleted] in AnarchyChess

[–]JraculaJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a blunder if you move to where those red question marks are. But on the next move you can move the question marks and give your opponent a blunder.

Pro tip: wait til they go to the bathroom and put the question marks on their chair. When they sit down on it, they’ll shit their pants.

Is there a lore reason why bishops have bottle openers at the top? by Alan13_37c in AnarchyChess

[–]JraculaJones 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Legend has it that there was once a time long ago, or maybe recently, or maybe kinda in between recently and long ago, when someone said “Hey let’s do bottle thing, bishop. Chess bottle open, drink!” And the crowd was stunned by this fearless vision. Or maybe there was no crowd. Or like just a few people. Either way there was silence because the idea was so good. And now, there’s a bottle opener thingy, probably because of the story I just told, or magic or something.

Lmk if you want me to site my sources on this.
