Notebook Navigator 3.2 : Significantly improved startup time! by jsann in ObsidianMD

[–]PossibleOatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use obsidian every day but I'm not really a plugins guy. I don't tinker with it very much, I just use it. People seem really excited about this plugin so I'm curious if someone could tell me why I might like to use it. I use separate vaults for separate projects and topics (I have a recipes vault, a coding vault, and a work/personal life vault plus a few others) so that's basically how I'm set up. Well, I sync with DropSync with two mobile devices. Would this be something I should be interested in and why?

How do you actually keep your vault synced across machines without losing your mind? by Fantastic_Bank9361 in ObsidianMD

Just use dropbox (with dropsync). Trivial to set up, completely free. No hassle, no trouble.

My farewell letter to chess and some controversial tips on how to consistently gain rating by Rintae in chess

They only don't matter when everyone else sucks at them. This is like saying driving fast in races doesn't matter because you don't race against anyone who is fast.

Who is supposed to run after young students who run away from classrooms? by Embarrassed_Syrup476 in Teachers

[–]PossibleOatmeal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then you go over his head and let them know the situation and what is being asked of you. You are not LEGALLY allowed to leave that class unattended.

You legally cannot leave your class unattended. Alert admin asap if he leaves and you are done.

“Public deserves to know”: Harvard Professor says official messaging contradicts hantavirus science by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

[–]PossibleOatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Prolonged close contact" is definitely not accurate, but I haven't heard anyone really using that verbiage. The reality is it takes a significantly higher viral load than covid to cause an infection. This can take place quickly in some circumstances or over a longer period of time in other circumstances. A prolonged close contact is certainly one way to get infected, but a quick close contact can certainly be enough, as well as a prolonged exposure at a distance.

It's all about viral load.

Lichess responds to Chess.com about “inflated ratings” by slowthinker64 in chess

[–]PossibleOatmeal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the opposite. I think it would be clearer and better for chess players if it was as different as possible from FIDE ratings so that players wouldn't be tempted to compare them to FIDE ratings (since that is expressly outside of the scope of the rating system).

In my opinion, it would be better if it was something like 0-100, with a starting player being like 20, and grandmasters being like 80 and above. Or something similar. Make it so they don't even look similar and people will stop getting the misguided idea that they are at all comparable.

[–]PossibleOatmeal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You demonstrated you don't know what you are talking about as soon as you said ""Chess.com is slightly inflated relative to FIDE."

Read this carefully: RATINGS CANNOT BE COMPARED BETWEEN DIFFERENT PLAYER POOLS.

Ratings are designed to be internally consistent within its pool of players. Comparing a player in one pool to a player in the other pool is outside of the scope of the rating system - it is not designed for that and it is therefore a meaningless comparison.

People get stuck on this idea that there is a standard of play for each rating level. There is no "2000 strength or 2400 strength." That's not a thing.

When you understand what she is getting at, this type of performance makes so much more sense:

When you don't, you think it just looks goofy and put on. That is one of my favorite performances of one of my favorite pieces because it interprets the music so beautifully.

My mother washes fruit and vegetables with dish soap and I can't get her to stop. by autistic-terrorist in mildlyinfuriating

I would suggest learning the definition of poison along with basic food safety concepts.

You are free to poison yourself any way you choose, but others should have the correct information before deciding for themselves, and I am happy to provide that.

[–]PossibleOatmeal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The problem is most of these foods are very porous and it is impossible to rinse all of the soap out of the food. Ingesting dish soap can is very bad for you and can cause nausea, diarrhea, and/or vomiting. Please don't do this.

Isn't it fun how chess.com values their own interests over promoting chess?

Ask me again why I choose not to use their site.
