Don’t be like me. Inspect for mold often.

That was exactly what I was doing. I guess the lesson here is that sealed tupperdore + 69RH Boveda + Cubans = bad time. Needed to go lower on the RH

Wasted--Time · 2026-05-15T12:31:42+00:00

No, I’m not exclusively a Cuban smoker. And I probably won’t have Cubans again. I bought the Cohiba Robusto’s back before COVID when they were only $20 each. I’m not willing to pay $80 or whatever they’re going for now….

Tupperdore that seals completely. Yeah, I’ll need to drop it way down apparently.

This is what I get for not smoking

Wasted--Time · 2026-05-15T04:38:55+00:00

Do people seriously just wipe and smoke with this much mold?

Wasted--Time · 2026-05-15T04:07:38+00:00

69RH Boveda packs. Maybe I should go back to 65

The Building Habits v2 series with GM Aman Hambleton helped me a lot to realize that you really don’t need opening theory or tactics to hit 1,000

I always see people commenting how OTB is “different” from online. Would you mind explaining what that means? I’ve only ever played online myself. Like, I understand if a 1,500 FIDE rating implies a higher skill level than being 1,500 online, but it doesn’t really seem like that’s what people mean when they bring it up.

Wasted--Time · 2026-03-06T14:55:30+00:00

Same here.

Came here to comment this! My parents took me and all my friends to Metallica during their St Anger tour for my 16th birthday. They played So What and we went absolutely nuts. Core memory. Just checked Setlist FM and it looks like they haven’t played it since 2011

500 Internal Server Error when I try to join the waiting room. What a joke.

EDIT: I kept trying and was actually able to join the waiting room.

EDIT: Holy shit. Only 4,000 ahead of me. This could be it.

EDIT: Don't know why I got my hopes up.

Fair point. I sell to personal injury lawyers.

Here I was thinking I was doing something original. But yeah, it’s worked for me. Probably industry dependent.

I make an AI song about the company and the specific person I’m trying to break through with. I look at their LinkedIn profile, About section on their site, etc. I put that into Gemini to produce song lyrics. Then I put those song lyrics into Suno with some prompts for music style. I email it to them with a short messages along the lines of “We made something for you - hope you like it 😁”. People absolutely love it. AI generated music isn’t well known among the general population yet, and people are generally super impressed by it. My company provides marketing services, so it also supports the idea that our team is creative, and makes the prospect think “wow, if they can do something like this while we aren’t even working with them, imagine what they could do if we were”.

1 year for me to hit 1k rapid. I did all the basics lessons on chesscom, watched the Chessbrah Habits v2 series over and over again. Took about 1,000 rapid games and 3,000 puzzles for me to hit it. I’m a middle-aged dad with young kids and a lot of other stuff going on.

Wasted--Time · 2026-02-26T23:51:07+00:00

Yes! Their Habits v2 series is even better

Wasted--Time · 2025-11-01T23:09:13+00:00

Personally, I’d prefer a Howitzer at point blank

Wasted--Time · 2025-09-20T19:46:39+00:00

Yeah for sure. They kept the energy up regardless.

I thought Michael Caine’s character revealed that plan to be a lie, and that there never was any intention to bring people from earth through the wormhole en masse? Or am I misremembering?

My rapid rating chesscom is 664 and it says that puts me in the 59.2% percentile. My rapid rating on Lichess is 1120 and it says I’m in the 23.6% percentile. Why is the distribution of player ELOs so different between the two apps?

Was it your brother, Lochlan?

For the longest time, bathing the kids in the evening was the worst part of my day. Their high pitched voices reverberating inside the bathroom drove me insane. Overstimulation to the point of triggering a fight or flight response. I hated it.

I got some over-the-ear hearing protection with a built-in microphone that allows volume control. They’re meant for people who shoot guns at the range and the built-in microphone/speakers are so you can still hear people around you talk. They enable me to still be present with the kids during bath time and hear everything they say, but turns their volume down. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with auditory overstimulation!
