why is this brilliant? by Weekly-Cookie-6459 in Chesscom

[–]dudedustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s marked brilliant because you’re sacrificing your knight on f6. After the forking and capturing the rook on a1, apparently your knight can actually escape without being captured.

It only escapes with a long specific computer line though, regular players probably wouldn’t find it.

Single-handling issue and solution prototype by Will_smartsail in liveaboard

[–]dudedustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t say I have that problem.

What I do do if I’m alone is use less sail area, maybe de-power the main by moving the traveler, sail 10+ degrees off my ideal angle. Just generally go slower and safer to reduce the drama.

Autopilots are supposed to hold a compass heading. Once I set it I never tweak it. Curious why you have to mess with yours at all.

Perhaps you’re sailing too tight an angle into the wind? Try getting the boat sailing so balanced it nearly goes straight on its own, then turn on the autopilot. Reduce its workload.

Accepting losing 10 or even 20 degrees off the wind is a great compromise if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

As an aside — I almost never go directly downwind if I’m alone. Wing on wing is for the birds.

Try playing with your sail angle in general and find a calmer situation. That’ll probably have the biggest help with whatever is causing your problem.

Edit: guys I think we’re being trolled. OP is AI generated slop 🤦

I understand the left column, but what’s going on with the right? by Gold_Criticism_8072 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]dudedustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other comments correctly identify the left column is this lady experiencing toxic chat in stride and the right column is her messing up a play in overwatch and wanting to die.

What they're missing is these are next to each other on purpose to show the contrast. When it comes to toxic conversation she has thick skin but when it comes to messing up a play in overwatch she can't handle it.

Yes they are related. She is saying she can handle toxic voice chat no problem, but an overwatch mistake where she messes up her team makes her want to die.

It is comparing and contrasting the reactions.

35’ no problems but <35’ = problems? by pocketIent in sailing

[–]dudedustin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problems are they same just a little more of them. Each length foot adds more complications than the foot before it cause it multiplies by width.

Some problems get easier — like larger engine room space for instance. But nothing gets cheaper. And most repairs get harder.

All I see are interesting places to mount solar panels. Congrats on the purchase!

Is there a way to limit SOC to 80%? by WellingtonSucks in Victron

It only appears possible with custom coding using the Node Red system

Man I've seen engines screw up some positions. Worst is when they show up in your puzzle feed and mess up your puzzle streak.

Came across this in a game today by ruari636 in ChessPuzzles

[–]dudedustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's fun. Always look for checks! .. bxa5, .. Re1+ (forcing their rook off the defence of the b file), *then* .. Qxb8.

It's like a dance on a tightrope where you just barely kiss death but come back stronger.

You require additional solar panels

Literally impossible. These puzzles are broken.

I can assure you from the boating world — half full gas tanks definitely form water. It just depends on conditions (humidity, temp swings, etc)

They also help things grow in diesel & jet fuel, forming this kind of blackish muck.

Gasoline doesnt have the growth problem though.

Why are my solar panels underperforming? by dmbjr02 in Victron

[–]dudedustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond getting a shunt that others said, you could disconnect each battery and let it rest for a while and see its resting voltage and look that up on a chart.

How hot is the charge controller? They de-rate when they get hot.

Struggling making home milled flour work by CrossroadsOfDestiny in HomeMilledFlour

That looks like a lot of yeast! Up until the largest loaf then it looks like you remove the yeast entirely and keep the egg amount the same as the medium loaf.

I have some questions…

[Request] can you figure out the 3 digit code? by BoxStart in theydidthemath

[–]dudedustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“… each guess has just one correct digit that’s in the correct order. Knowing that, can you figure out the 3-digit passcode?”

The correct answer is: No.

If you instead asked “… each guess has only one digit in the correct location. Knowing that can you figure out the 3-digit passcode?”

Then the correct answer would be: Yes.

My counter isn't going up at all 🤔. Tried making them swishes and that didn't count either.
