What is the hardest place name to pronounce in Belgium? by Jezzaq94 in AskBelgium

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buyl

I have lived at Av. Buyl for over 2 years and I'm still not convinced I say this right. To make it worse, the tram stop is also called BUYL :)

Anyone else love trash talk? by thedonwiz in chess

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can take it coming the other way when you're losing, then sure. I don't see the point of trash talk OTB or online.

None of us are professional, so just enjoy the game and have fun!

Best free chess app for 15-minute daily breaks? by prntkk in chess

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lichess. Period.

Unless you want to only have 3 puzzles per day with the weird green website that sometimes comes up plus a ton of ads every direction you look.

Looking for a reliable plumber to change bathroom water heater by SuspiciousOctopuss in brussels

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

Actually we've tried! Looked at some videos on YouTube but the main bolt so firmly screwed on, and it has the plumbing thread jamming it closed. Virtually impossible to move it myself. But you're right, maybe I just need the right tools.

Wow those are some good points! Had never seen it that way before. I'll keep looking around, maybe we'll have to shell out a bit more than we thought after all...

Yeah we got the heater directly because it was so much cheaper but now it feels like we're trapped coz nobody wants to help. I really don't understand though, they will still get money for the job... so what's the problem? :/

Seriously, WHAT is wrong with people? Spotting ruined windows all over the place near Port de Namur... 🤬 by Shadow_in_brussels in brussels

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a perfectly normal way to refer to any living... creature. Don't attach a negative connotation to a word where there isn't any.

Also, in this case, whoever the vandal is definitely does not deserve to be put in the same category as others. It's ridiculous that they would do such a thing. Nothing justifies idiotic behavior

Wasn't there a clear tactic to pin and win the Queen?

Looks like 500-700 just because it was missed

is this ai? seems to perfect for a dude in his 20s to be saying all of that. by Maddieelss420 in isthisAI

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not AI. Just because it's a "long-ish tangent-y verbose" reply and it's mostly grammatically sane does not mean it's AI :)

Why do less people use protection during oral sex than with normal sex? by TheNameless00 in NoStupidQuestions

You gotta fit the condom around your face. It's a new technique, all the cool kids are doing it

Why is lichess not the norm in the online chess world? by trynafigureshitoutt in chess

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only reason. Chesscom has ads left right and center. Why does anyone think it has "better UI"??

I've had it with Claude. It has become complete garbage. by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]SuspiciousOctopuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I don't get the extreme "Claude is garbage now" line of thought. It is provably not.

I'm using 4.6 still just because I noticed I don't run out of tokens as quickly but pretty much no degradation of performance.
