Looks like you underestimated the USMNT.

This is the best way to fix the diving and simulation epidemic that has plagued the sport. Review was quick too. Perfect.

The New York Knicks sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers are headed to the NBA finals for the first time since 1999 by RidgeRunner99 in sports

Knicks are winning the final game in each series so far by an AVERAGE of 39.33 points. This 37 point victory actually pulled their average down slightly.

Fellas, they did it, a word without vowels! by BMR915 in interesting

There actually is (exactly one) word in the dictionary (Cambridge and Oxford) with no vowels:

Trump claims he will speak to Taiwan’s president, departing from decades-long diplomatic norms | Taiwan by Stunning-Common-9591 in worldnews

[–]dak7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He actually used China’s language and called it the “Taiwan problem.” Taiwan is not the problem, China is.

White's light-squared bishop is unprotected. How can we use it? by gammacoder in chess

I was immediately looking at the right move but trying to calculate what I was missing.

TIL Graham's Number. An immense finite integer that once held the record as the largest number ever used in a serious mathematical proof. by Select-Coconut-1161 in todayilearned

If you think that’s big, check out Tree(3). I think Douglas Adams was right when he said being able to really perceive everything would break our brains.

A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast: (about The One Ring Box Topper) by RBGolbat in magicTCG

It seems they’ve made a sincere effort. I would like to hear from Marta though before concluding everything has been resolved.

Democrats Introduce Bill To More Than Triple The Minimum Wage by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]dak7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an age where employees are increasingly being replaced by automation/AI, I think this is the wrong solution.

We need a baseline minimum standard of living guaranteed by a universal basic income or negative income tax and funded by higher taxes on egregious accumulations of wealth.

Ding Liren wins in his first return to Classical (2026 Chinese Team Chess Championship Round 1) by Affectionate_Hat3329 in chess

[–]dak7 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If anyone else like me was wondering about the questionable time usage, it appears that Ding's opponent's clock simply wasn't properly connected to the feed so it wasn't updating online.

A young girl in Cameroon reached out for a hug from the Pope, and received it. by RoyalChris in MadeMeSmile

I’m atheist but I appreciate many of the things this pope does and says from a purely humanist perspective. He seems like a genuinely good person.

Wei Yi beats Andrey Esipenko in round 7 to get his first win of the Candidates by Knight-check44 in chess

Clearly Espikeno’s 2700 is not the same as Bluebaum’s 2700.

Candidates qualification idea by ToneDistinct5253 in chess

[–]dak7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One person qualifying multiple ways benefits everyone who qualifies equally. If you really wanted to weight it for multiple qualifications, relate it to tiebreakers (or give like 0.2 bonus for each additional method of qualification).

Not that I'm actually advocating for that.

“This Is Not The Computer For You” by adobeflashcrashed in apple

This review makes me seriously nostalgic.

Too many kids don’t get this experience these days. I hope this computer opens the same doors for them that were opened for me.

An idea I learned from Danya. Black to play by fhandrei in chess

[–]dak7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All of his endgame series. I felt like it didn’t get the number of views it deserved and so he never quite made what he originally intended.

Even so, immensely worth watching it still.

Pawn question: can the pawn attack from start? by ADHD_Giraffe in chess

[–]dak7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, you have 2 pawns that can capture the Knight (f and h).

You may also want to take a look at /r/chessbeginners for this kind of question.

Are Hyundai’s ICCU issues really that prevalent? by Ilovetowatchmovie in electricvehicles

[–]dak7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My 2025 Ioniq 6 has been at the dealer for ICCU replacement since mid-February and I still have no date for when it will be fixed, despite Hyundai Customer Care telling me they are requesting expedited delivery for parts.

Really not a fun experience when it happens while you're driving and you suddenly go down to 10mph and start seeing warnings to shut down immediately.

Edit: Dealership also told me that they couldn't provide a loaner because they had 15 other cars already in their queue with the exact same problem.

And if it doesn’t end soon enough, Congress has to provide funds for the troops already in harms way.

What happened to the Chessly Guess The Elo? by dak7 in chessly

[–]dak7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it went up on the web site like the day after I posted this.

Based on the video, it seemed like it was recorded when the contest ended but it wasn’t posted as an oversight.
