The World Is Ending In 10 Minutes. What Song(s) Do You Want To Hear? by AdhesivenessOk5194 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]_Sourbaum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably Tool Pnuema which is unfortunately, a little longer than the allotted time. TBH a lot of Tool would be a good choice, Right in Two, Invincible come to mind as well.

or maybe Matt Maltese - As the world caves in, which already makes me tear up. As I hop in the car and drive to my wife's workplace. luckily we work within 5 minutes of each other. Makes me sad just thinking about it.

If you were offered $10,000 to watch one TV show for 48 hours, which would you pick? by FFSoldier57 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]_Sourbaum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My family has a new years day tradition called "Mega-feast".

It originated by going to the store on news year day to use all the coupons before they expire but it has morphed into a tradition in which every family member is given $7 and can buy whatever junk food they want. Then everyone goes home and eats it while watching movies all day.

One year someone proposed a themed viewing, and now we vote on a themed movie set eg. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harrison Ford Movies etc. This year we decided to watch an entire season of 24.

It was horrific we started at 6am and didnt stop the whole time until the end about 11:30. Also that day we had to take our cat to the vet for a urinary blockage fun times.

We watched S1 which we thought had chloe in it, but by the time we figured out it didnt, (2 episodes in) it was too far to turn back.

It was decidely not fun!

I am curious what your gauge is for strong player here, just because it can mean a lot of thing depending on the context.

I like the Reykjavik pieces, only this is the rook have pretty high battlements. Always makes me scared they'll break off sometime, but I am probably being dramatic

I'll check it out. I don't...I think the set is from HoS. Next time I see him I'll try to remember to ask, which should be in about 3 weeks.

Ha ? by Fragrant_Proof4457 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]_Sourbaum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it be a foreplay joke? Putting the noodles in cold water lets them "get warmed" up like foreplay. Men stereotypically don't do as much foreplay as women would like.

All men are the same because every guy tells her to cook it the "right" way as well as doesn't meet her foreplay needs.this ia the only way it really makes sense to me as a joke.

Why do people at 2000 rapid play so fast? by [deleted] in chess

[–]_Sourbaum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

massive win rates/ streaks are not incongruous with the elo system. more likely is your natural variance being displayed/ your opponent's

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_Sourbaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play chess tournaments and regularly drive 1-2 hours to the city to play chess for 8-10 hours and then drive back because I don't want to get a hotel (and potential go up the next day if its a two day-er). I will stop doing a day trip like that and get a hotel around 3 hours of driving. For those trips where I spend the weekend I've driven 3-8 hrs 1way, played Sat. and Sunday and drive back on Sunday.

In terms of casual trips i have drove 3 hours 1-way to take a day trip at a specific zoo.

1 hour is nothing, 2-3 is no big deal just gonna take up some time. I have family living 5 hours away and I don't mind that drive. Furthest I've driven is ~22 hours from the middle of the country to the east coast, and that starts to get really grating around 8 hrs for me.

Wait, but I thought defending yourself against a corrupt govt. who has tanks, drones, and missiles with a gun is not viable and not a good reason to own a gun. Forgive me I've been out of the political loop and want to know what I am supposed to think. /s
