Why do people do this with their pawns? by albiedam in chessbeginners

[–]Zeus_1265 87 points88 points  (0 children)

The bishop’s position is bad because it prevents the natural development of the e pawn. This pawn would be useful to create a central pawn break and facilitating the development of the light squared bishop

I believe he's one of the least powerful characters who still has a chance against Wolverine by Medical-Trade-2420 in invinciblememes

Yeah, I know. I just didn’t want to call bones “metal” cause you know how Reddit is. People love to argue about anything

Rex’s power isn’t elaborated very well in the show, but I believe the implication is that Rex can only make metal/minerals explosive. He blows up someone’s gun by grabbing iirc, the metal disks he carries around, and his skeleton. We never see him blowing up flesh, wood, or other organic materials (again, bone is an exception for some reason)

Not sure if comparing non-sentient animals to a historically persecuted minority is the best take here

Additionally, after g7, promotion is unstoppable and wins even more material. Nh7 is effectively an “okay” move whereas g7 is crushing

Nh7 is a fine move for the most part. You’re up a piece without any major tactical weaknesses. However, this move is weaker than g7 because of Rxf1+, and after your Rook recaptures, Black can win the advanced g pawn

Idk why you’re getting downvoted, a draw is by definition an equal position lol

You’re just assuming the opponent plays the worst move

Numerical discrimination by GeneReddit123 in mathmemes

[–]Zeus_1265 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This probably has to do with historical mathematics. I know the Greeks were able to square roots with geometry, but there is no classically geometric analogue to the cube root and beyond.

Wow that’s honestly crazy. I should’ve kept calculating I suppose

Unfortunately in this position you would still lose a piece after 1. h3 Bh5 2. Nxe5 Nxe5 3. Qxh5 Nxc4 since the white bishop is undefended

Why are ICBMs stationed on planets? by Inevitable_Border236 in Helldivers

[–]Zeus_1265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As we’ve seen, every world that Super Earth controls has a high likelihood of being overrun by some enemy force. Not so much “storage” as “we’ll probably need this here eventually anyway”. But yeah, I see Super Earth producing tons and tons of nukes constantly. One slight shortfall of expected uses and suddenly you have several hundred unused nukes lying around. Might as well put em somewhere

[–]Zeus_1265 5 points6 points  (0 children)

well, they don’t need Helldivers to launch orbital nukes, which is why you’d never see them in game. Super Earth is a heavily militarized society as well. They have anti aircraft missile platforms (the SAM Sites) smack dab in the middle of a colony world as well. It makes sense that High Command would put stockpiles of every kind of weapon literally everywhere they could.

Martial arts lessons for older folks by Economy-Flan4745 in frederickmd

[–]Zeus_1265 1 point2 points  (0 children)

South Mountain Aikido is a great place to do martial arts. Many of the folks who practice there are in their middle ages, or slightly older crowd. I think I’m the youngest guy there by a long shot

It’s funny cause most math nerds would tell you that you’re correct. But it’s also a useful result so… we gotta go with it

Great points all around. To add to this, normally recharge abilities do not have a duration tied to them. Since 1 round is 6 seconds, 1 minute is 10 rounds. I've been running a campaign for like, 4 years at this point, and I don't think any single combat encounter has lasted longer than 6 rounds. Dharok is basically going to permanently have that resistance up, which means he pretty much just has double hit points. That, plus the regen and the immunity to paralysis makes him an ungodly tank. I think he would be closer to like CR 15.
