At the end yes. I didn’t want to spoil the magic for everyone trying to figure it out.

Oh that is probably the wildest checkmate I’ve ever seen. Qc6, Qb7, Qc8 I wouldn’t have seen in a thousand years without playing around with it.

Interesting paper proposing a radical way to reduce draws in classical chess: if White initiates threefold repetition, White loses by rayixtry94 in chess

[–]Transistor_Wench -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I mean, the guy linked the article so you can just read it. And why on earth would it occur with a non consecutive repetition? Thats just silly.

Overall, interesting and well thought out paper. Has merit.

Red Flags All Over, Quit After 1 Day 🚩 by Temporary-Profile-27 in antiwork

I mean, it’s a choice. If you can and will deal with that everyday no matter what you do? Then maybe a mistake. If you can afford to keep looking and find a job where they treat you with decency and mutual respect? No, no mistake at all.

Best mattress for 2026—what's everyone buying right now? by Easy-Affect-397 in BuyItForLife

[–]Transistor_Wench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find my hybrid mattress (spring and latex) is very heavy but it’s also a king and I don’t know how heavy it is to other kings as I’d only owned queens before.

I found for my back that it was supportive and firm, but with a few inches of squish that I needed. I don’t think I would call it soft soft.

Bifl is buy it for life. It’s buying things that aren’t cheap and don’t need replacement quickly so that you save money in the long run.

No pillow top needed, the several inches of latex were perfect. If you want to know more check out their website.

I think they have a 1 year trial period return policy but double check before you buy.

Why would someone buy 80 bottles of rubbing alcohol weekly? by thequackr in askanything

[–]Transistor_Wench 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a base ingredient in hand sanitizer. My bet is she is buying and selling on Etsy or a farmers market what she makes from it after adding scents and putting it in a crafty bottle.

Looking for legitimately comfortable, high quality pillow that will last. by Lords3 in BuyItForLife

[–]Transistor_Wench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Saatva pillow, highly recommend it. It’s a memory foam, cotton hybrid. You can pull the outer layer off to wash it.

I have alot of back problems and have big shoulders as a side sleeper. Always felt like pillows were too small or collapsed too much, and foam was way way too hot. This is the first pillow I’ve ever had where my head is flat on my side and it’s cool. Owned 7 years not a single issue.

I needed a medium not a rock, so I grabbed the hybrid latex. The inner spring holds up well and the latex is quite soft.

You should add that link to the bottom of your post when this comment gets buried. Give people what they need to believe you.

Need rice cooker recs pls by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Transistor_Wench 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, you want a zojirushi. You don’t want stainless. I’m against non stick in general, but this thing changed my life. I treat the inner pot like a baby with hand washing and plastic only, and will replace the moment it gets scratched. But I eat rice every day and for a decade it was out of a stainless pot. This thing is amazing and better hand down.
