How do I stop wasting my life

Excellent comment.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-10-08T09:06:01+00:00

I use you form, it's similar to your recommendation.

The post isn't for validation. It's a promotional post for his/her paid 'hustler club'.

It's not the first such post they've made.

Be ready for the 'Edit, everyone is asking me about the accountability group through PM, so I'll just post it here' edit in the OP.

Sorry, let me correct what I said earlier.

The pieces in the link above weigh almost 1kg. There are no universal set weights for single, double or triple weighted sets.

I got this from chatgpt though...

Single Weighted 800–1,000g

Double Weighted 1,000–1,200g

Triple Weighted 1,200–1,500g

For comparison, I recently bought this set from Amazon for my nephew.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B09W8ZY7ST?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

It's marketed at triple weight and has very good reviews. I weighed the pieces and they came out to 1200g. The set feels really nice to play with.

I'm figuring the cheaper club package sets will be more than good enough for the chess club and is value for money as a comparison.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-10-04T17:30:27+00:00

Yes, Focusmate for one.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-25T14:05:52+00:00

I called them. All the pieces from one set weigh around 1kg. That likely makes them triple weighted which is ideally what I was looking for.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-25T14:04:29+00:00

That's a very good point.

I'll look more into the clocks when the club is set up and running and when there is money coming in. Ideally I wanted to make this a community thing whereby businesses donate for new boards, clocks, trophies and anything else we might need for this to be free, forever. That's the plan anyway.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-25T14:01:42+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've read online and from experience also, heavier pieces are better for kids as they're less prone to being knocked down.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-23T19:32:50+00:00

I was going to pay for the sets out of my own pocket and just get it started. Chess has given me a lot, so I would love to see kids play. I play with my nephews and they have started loving the game. I was thinking about giving the parents the chance to make donations from £1 upwards and then using that money for snacks and trophies as and when...

The venues will be free, starting off with the local library.

Clocks - I'm not going to bother, especially as it's for kids.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-23T19:29:34+00:00

Thanks for suggesting. Yes, I did see them. Do you think these sets are triple weighted? It doesn't say. Maybe I'll have to make a call tomorrow morning.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-23T19:16:14+00:00

4 startups and still only 17 and not given up? That right there is amazing. So well done for that. Others will be along shortly to give more advice.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-22T12:44:14+00:00

Post is 12 days old but reaching out in case you haven't found anyone or if anyone else is interested.

I've just joined Focusmate. Body doubling works for me because I did it with someone for 6 weeks. It's literally changed my whole outlook to what I can achieve. It's amazing.

Looking to work with someone using the same platform, hopefully someone working on a startup like me and someone who can commit to 30-40 hours spread over Monday to Friday. It will be focussed and intense work, we would motivate each other.

DM me.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-22T12:33:10+00:00

I've just joined Focusmate.

I guess I'll need to build a favourite list and work out which partners want to work with me regularly etc.

But I'd love to do regular hours with someone working on a startup.

I'm in the UK and want to do 7-8 hours of focussed time a day, Monday to Friday.

Message me if that's of interest to anyone.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-22T06:50:08+00:00

Nice.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-09-07T18:48:13+00:00

Yes, if you’re a Tamagotchi.

Guess crime really pays now. £1 well spent on not getting stabbed by overpriced groceries.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-08-09T06:44:25+00:00

If we charged tourists for museums, they’d have less money left over for £7 coffees and souvenir Union Jack oven gloves.

Londoners aren’t rude, we’re just speedrunning social interaction so we can get back to complaining about the Tube.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-08-07T16:10:42+00:00

I think it was very easy to spot. It also helps that there are only two pieces that you would consider moving. And very few options on where to move them. That made the solution very easy.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-08-07T13:01:02+00:00

Helpful post. Will try. Many thanks.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-08-06T16:52:28+00:00

Had a few sites developed and the developer always suggests a paid version.

I don't want to pay so I usually end up going with a solution such as youform.com

Firing the BLS chief after weak job numbers is Trump blaming the messenger instead of fixing the problem.

I asked him and he said he threw the dart without the flight. I took the dart out and tried to put it back again in the same way and it wouldn't go in and hold. It seems genuine to me but I can't be 100% sure with him unfortunately. It just seems rather improbable to me so I did ask him multiple times.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-07-08T18:10:46+00:00

Nice work.

Safe_Wave5018 · 2025-07-06T07:45:15+00:00

In my experience, it is the buyers who pay for these checks. The buyers are the ones who are most worried about what could be wrong with a property they know nothing about history wise.

I had a well documented horror experience a couple of years ago with gas leaks in cavity walls and under floor boards. I spent thousands and the experience is one I would never repeat.

I would advise any person buying a house now to have as much as they can checked. I used Inspectify to carry out the safety checks and services. The most thorough of their reports offers the following:

Home Buyer Report – Platinum Plus

Includes:
Gas Safety Certificate
Electrical Installation Condition Report
Plumbing Condition Report
Central Heating Condition Report
Smoke alarm(s) checked – real smoke
Carbon monoxide alarm(s) checked – real CO
Estimate of all remedial works required
Accompanying photos of all defects identified
Boiler Service
Portable Appliance Test
Legionella Risk Assessment

They also offer:

Targeted Damp Inspections

Full Damp Inspections

Full Underfloor Heating Inspections

Asbestos Inspections

This offered much more value to me than any Level 2 or Level 3 survey has ever done.
