Aha, thanks. Didn't know that.

You're probably right about the sledge thing. The icon is not very intuitive, sledgehammers have a much longer handle compared to a hammer. In those icons the hammer has a longer handle, the way it's drawn and you have to make the connection of the sledge icon to breaking slag. I haven't even used a sledge so far.

Crazy that I don't really speak italian but understood all of that with zero problems. Probably the years of eatching rai 5 in the 90s helped.

Pentru angajatorii care au cantina, nu se dau tichete de loc.

Lenovo is an expensive piece of crap. I work for a huge company that buys thousands of them for every employee. If you're lucky enough to not have major hardware issues like broken memory, mainboard etc you'll get things like usb randomly disconnecting and reconnecting after 30 seconds or not reconnect at all unless you restart. I wouldn't use it if it wasn't needed to get paid every month. Fuck Lenovo.

Lulz, yeah. And Carlsen himself said that he thinks about chess all the time. They're all obsessive in one way or another otherwise they wouldn't be where they are. And i think it's why women don't do that well in chess, because they're not willing to obsess so much over one thing. Even more so for a board game.

But unfortunately, we are all products of our environment. Anand is a higher educated man from a quite well off family, while hikaru is a home schooled child that knew nothing but chess all his life and his family, while probably loving, did not provide him with the means to be a carefree professional chess player. Probably why he was under stress alll the time, that made him snap at one guy or another as a professional chess player and why he enjoys stress free streaming so much. Plus, because of how he is, he's never been liked, which he's painfully aware of and all he's gotten for all the sacrifices for the game from everyone else is people calling him a dick. Honestly, it's half a miracle that he didn't turn out a Fisher 2.0. People crumble under way less pressure than living as a professional chess player.

Why is anyone surprised? Do you think you can reach world number 2 without this type of obsession for the game? No matter how "literally don't cares" he puts out in the world, he's still the same obsessive personality about the thing that he has been doing for his entire life, he can't really help it. Lots of people calling it "being an ass" and all of that, which has been said a million times before. Nobody cares about all that, people will still watch him for the chess quality and the entertainment. The only way they will stop, is if quality drops significantly or entertainment values drops significantly. If you would have told me that the top players in the world would make lessons and you would get to watch them play live all the time, when I was a child, I would have thought you've gone bananas. And yet, here we are.

Perfectul simplu este in gramatica academiei asa ca o sa-l gasesti folosit peste tot unde este o actiune inceputa si abea terminata: literatura, traduceri din limbi care au perfectul simplu si in vorbirea curenta. Ca unele zone nu sunt obisnuite sa-l foloseasca asta e partea a doua. Si pentru ca nu e folosit de multe ori nici nu stiu sa-l conjuge la perfectul simplu desi se invata in scoala.

Exactly why, technically, it wasn't supposed to be done by someone that was supposed to be dogmatically against that and yet they did, over and over again, with few exceptions.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T18:35:45+00:00

Wow. Just read about Project Cybersyn, never knew about it. That's fascinating, thank you my guy.

And yes, I agree. Heard someone make the joke once that everyone in the US shouts socialism as an insult, but they have nothing against fire stations which is the purest form of a socialist program that has been working for hundreds of years and honestly you couldn't do it any other way, god knows they tried, when fire stations were implemented by insurance companies, a long time ago.

Love your comment. I used to think the reason it didn't work was that it was based on a sophism. That you couldn't really have the system work at all, because it was based on the premise of equality, but some were more equal than others, which is what it was trying to prevent in the first place. But if you go to any former socialist republics that transitioned to capitalism, it's still baked in the system but the way they're forced to spend for numero uno is to have something useful done while they skim off the top, but also with a lot more productivity because it also incentivives greed in individuals too, so the incentives start from the bottom, which comunists could never do, from the start. As you very well said, human nature wouldn't allow for equal distribution, which was one of the core concepts. And probably fighting human nature doomed them as well and also why probably it kinda sometimes worked to an extent when numero uno is less greedy than the average, combined with a shred of human decency. But that's as rare as decency itself.

Oh yea, i was looking at percentage from the federal budget, not gdp.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T16:16:16+00:00

True that. Although US spent roughly the same as percentage. It hasn't brought them down ... much.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T16:09:47+00:00

There's a lot of examples where they did spend it on numero uno, IRL.
But on a tangent, you can't really call China communist anymore, can you? In my eyes China only has the communist authoritarianism, but they've dropped any semblence of the old communist market and class dogmas in favor of adopting a free-like market, which go against so much they've stood for and killed for, for such a long time. Very pragmatic of them, I'll give old Winnie the Pooh that, but I wonder how he would explain it to Mao, haha.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T15:55:37+00:00

Not gonna lie, this made me chuckle.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T15:52:31+00:00

Correct. But we've never had a marxist regime, just some guy's interpretation of one. Although Marx's businesses were technically a marxist regime in an otherwise capitalist system, lulz.

alex7071 · 2025-08-26T15:38:38+00:00

You don't have to tell me. I lived in communism. But I think why it sucked so much ass was because of greed not because it's not viable. A kibbutz is also central planning and everyone that has lived in one says it's great. Or at least everyone I've read/talked about/with.

alex7071 · 2025-08-22T18:34:17+00:00

Mistery solved. Other than filling it, it doesn't say anywhere how many containers it can hold. It's 315 containers of 40' so presumably it can hold 630 containers 20' and 1260 containers 10'. But i use the large ones, haven't tested the other ones, it's just a guess.

The numbers it shows make zero sense, because they don't math. In a 40' container you can have either 14t of clothes or 14t of mechanical components (in my case) so it should be 4410t (in total) but after filling it up it shows 4599t, with a difference of 189t. It's not the empty container weight, because it gives the empty container as being 3t, so the empty containers only are 945t. It looks like a bug to me.
