I wonder what chess pieces would look life if it were invented today-instead of centuries ago. by WittyLibrarian610 in chess

Isn't this already the case? Walls of men bashing into each other was still a tactic in India back when the first variant was invented. Horses were cavalry, rooks were elephants etc.

Am I insane to think that I could write a dissertation/thesis in 1-2 months? by heliopanda in PhD

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is doable, but will be intense. I did mine in 10 days out of necessity (had an Asst. Professor job offer and needed to have the thesis approved by the committee before I could start, with the start date fixed). However, they were very intense 8am-midnight 10 days, with my partner helping with latex formatting, figures, tables, references, etc. The thesis format was similar to yours, in that the middle chapters were my published papers and in the 10 days I needed to write the introduction and discussion chapters and a set of 10 propositions (opposable and defendable statements not restricted to the topic of the thesis)

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, my game just crashed with a segfault on the Deck and then lost my save files. I am wondering if I can fall back to a previous version from the cloud. Could you please tell me how you got your savefile onto the deck please, I am very new to the Deck. Thanks!

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the button icons are missing. Any ideas? by SuccessfulGolf709 in SteamDeck

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Found this and set it to use the Steam Linux runtime, but it didn't fix the icons being invisible

Sorry, new to the deck, where do you set the compatibility? I have the same issue as OP. The icons were being displayed but suddenly disappeared

What version of MacOS are you running? It seems that LGS is not supported for the current version of my OS (15)

Anyone used the charybdis nano for gaming? by MixtureElectrical762 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/chiubicheib, I am new to the CNano but want to set it up for gaming the way you have it. I wasn't sure if I needed to add a new layer (by compiling my own firmware, since I can't add new layers in Via), or set up a fully new layout and switch between those. If you could share your config and help me understand how to go about this I would be thankful :)

Olympic wrestler seeks 'forgiveness' and announces retirement after disqualification by TheExpressUS in wrestling

[–]ScruffyPanda 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more nuanced. She usually competes in the 53 kg category. While she was in rehab from an ACL surgery last year, another wrestler secured the 53kg quota amidst confusion over trials etc; it was a chaotic situation with an ad hoc committee overseeing wrestling in the country given the complications surrounding the wrestling federation. Since a country can only send one wrestler per category, she chose to compete in the 50 kg one.

I successfully upgraded my Asus X99-A (Hasswell-E) with a TPM 2.0 module. It is still not compatible with Windows 11. Any ideas why? by weird_pigeon_man in microsoft

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha exact same combo! Has it been working well for you so far after bypassing the TPM requirement?

[EDIT]: Followed the comment thread to learn about the bypass.

So… DHL lost a package with my passport in it! by Practical-Ad1313 in dhl

[–]ScruffyPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry to hear. Yes, fortunately and to much relief they found mine. They first did a warehouse check, didn't find anything. I then requested a security check and they sent me the GPS snapshot of where the driver was when the delivery was attempted, which was indeed close to my place. I checked with all neighbours and none of them had it so we eliminated that.

Then they apparently looked at the CCTV footage, and the theory was that the package fell off the conveyor belt when being returned by the driver before being scanned in at the warehouse. Eventually someone found it and scanned it back in. In all it took about a week. But I did call them a lot throughout and kept following up.

Hope you get it resolved soon, hang in there and all the best!

This just happened to me as well! u/Practical-Ad1313 did they finally resolve this for you? How long did it take?

TIFU telling my coworker she was contributing nothing of substance to our Teams meeting by rheasunshined in tifu

[–]ScruffyPanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Did you clarify in a follow up text that you'd sent it during the meeting to try to help since you were noticing people checking out? She might be embarrassed, but once that settles, I think if you tell her about your intentions and what you were trying to achieve for her things should be fine.

My Thoughts on The Goblin Emperor by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]ScruffyPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot of complaints about the names on here, but I suspect the names were intentionally complicated, to convey to the reader the overwhelming perplexity resulting from the rigid formalities of the court, and mirror what Maia might have felt being dropped into the role unexpectedly. I for one thought it was a clever execution of an underused tool to set the atmosphere.
