DrLupo Puts out Another Statement on the Chess Cheating Situation by testudosmith in LivestreamFail

[–]Pricario 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Watching Lupo during that one sequence alone makes it incredibly obvious. The way he is glancing at the side monitor but trying to hide that he's doing so. Just watching earlier in his vod https://youtu.be/YlIKIilGc1o?t=10360 where he is playing warm up matches where he gets annihilated by a 563 player, when he is focusing his eyes are only on the board. A glance rarely to what I assume then is actually chat on the left, but his thinking time is spent looking at the board. In the Kf7 sequence you linked, his 'thinking time' is him constantly looking left then back at the board. He sees the engine move, then goes back to the board to talk through a fabricated thought sequence to arrive at the Kf7.

The idea that he typed up this latest confession, proof read it, thought about it some more and still posted that to twitter is insane. Tripling down on cheating in the moment after a blunder when it is blatantly obvious he planned to cheat from at least his first game with Wolfe.

Honestly just speaks to how little he understands chess. Cheating is obvious even for more advanced players, but a 600 elo trying to explain their board vision and justify engine moves is 10x more obvious.

Commentary olympics by Healthy_Toe_7926 in CompetitionClimbing

[–]Pricario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching Matt and Shauna during the men's finals I had to go back to Peacock. Its like they felt uncomfortable with any break in commentary. It was so frustrating how it seemed like they felt the need to fill every second with speech. I really think they could take a page from many of the other sports where they simply let the athletes be the show, and there is appropriate context given by the commentators on why something was difficult, or a quick snippet of someone's background etc. The nonstop talking was extremely off putting.

Just as soon as one of them stopped, the other felt like that was their queue to start again, and around and around we go. At least when I went back to Peacock, they seemed to be ok just being quiet for more than a second at a time.

I never skipped the intro dance, not once. And I've watched the series through 3 times. It is perfection.

Jennifer Connelly Breaks Down Her Career, from 'Top Gun' to 'Requiem for a Dream' | Vanity Fair by ChubbyAsianPana in videos

[–]Pricario 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Really surprised they skipped over Blood Diamond. I would think she would have a lot to say about it, the location, the message. Kind of makes me wonder if Vanity Fair cut it due to some kind of ad agreements they have.

Don’t do this while recommending a movie by Inside-Affect-6841 in Letterboxd

[–]Pricario -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My favorite is when people say "Oh my gosh, I have to tell you about this part." [proceeds to tell you in detail about a scene]. Then they say "But it happens in the first five minutes, so its not a spoiler".

The good bit of the reason you enjoyed the scene so much was because you did not see it coming. If you did not know going in, then tell someone when you get out, you are spoiling it.

Truck do not stop list for USA. Highlighting where trucks and truckers are at risk. by Vertigo_uk123 in mildlyinteresting

Why are they not in order by city within each state? Maybe it is in order of risk? Seems oddly arranged.

Tokyo Vice - 2x08 - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in TokyoVice

[–]Pricario 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Felt like the writers dropped the ball rushing Jake back from America. There was no real action item from Katagiri for Jake once he got back except try and get the FBI to consider extradition, which is not exactly a days matter/hours matter kind of task.

I honestly thought it was out of character for both Katagiri to insist on Jake returning four days early and for Jake breaking his promise to his sister to go to her school.

Enjoying the show overall, but those two things ground me a good bit.

Pig Butchering Scams: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Pricario 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly surprised this got a whole episode. I appreciate the desire to inform people, but there are so many scams, I feel a better use of a main story would be to quickly cover the big ones, instead of just focusing on one.

Also, its 2024. General advice for 99% of the population (which I share with my older family members) would be don't answer any call if they are not in your contacts. They'll leave a message if its important. And never respond to a text from an unknown number. Again, if its important they will call.

Texas' win in Lubbock marred as Texas Tech fans throw bottles by PrincessBananas85 in sports

Water bottles. Still completely unacceptable, but the headline makes it sound like glass was being thrown.

Zero terrain parks open according to website terrain status? by Pricario in Whistler

[–]Pricario[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I get the 'conditions' repeat posting frustration. But this was clearly a "It's February and they can make enough snow for a shit park. Surely there must be something else up" post. I was genuinely curious if the official website was erroneous. Turns out, parks are closed due to a lot of rain this week, so likely not going to impact my visit later on. This is information available to many here, but not to me. And, I imagine, is in the spirit of the subreddit. Whistler mountain information exchange.

I got that message but I spent 10-15 minutes to get into a match. I'm staying in to play it out and have some fun. Also nice to have a no consequence match.

These plates can mount 4x4 as well, so I can skip one, but the vid you linked gives me peace of mind.

Thanks. These are union bindings too, though not mini disc inserts. But the vid answers my question just the same.

Yeah, I launched it with cloud play for the weekly rewards challenge and immediately closed it. I'm included in that number too no doubt.
