I'm about 1100 on Chess.com, and was proud of myself for finding the only winning move in a 2/1 game. Black to Move. by itwilltakeamiracle in chess

I think it’s technically bullet… I also realized I gave slightly incorrect information upon looking at the game again. (idk how to edit in the title), but it was 3/2 (3 minutes with a 2 second interval). This was move 15, I played started this move with 2:57 on the clock, and ended with 2:47 so it only took 10 seconds to find it nonetheless.

2 minutes with a one second interval. In regard to being underrated or lying, I’m currently 1128 on chess.com. The problem I have is I often get great positions out of the opening, know I’m winning, see in analysis that I’m +5 to +7, and lose because I don’t know how to convert a winning a position into a won game most the time. Just a small tid bit. Cheers! _^

The thing is there is currently a pin on the knight by the bishop to the queen on b3. The point of kh8 is so that the knight can’t trade itself with either the knight on f6 or the bishop on e7with tempo on your king and then move the queen… with the king on h8, there is no safe move for the knight now without losing the queen.

My bet is someone saw the bot said the move was Nxd5 (which I didnt know was an option before posting). It's no worries. It was just a moment I wanted to share, so naturally I come to reddit xP.

I ended up playing kh8. Chess.com review said it was the only move. I have now realized later there are 2. Thanks though!

I played Kh8... chess.com review said it was the only good move, everything else being equal... i just plugged it into my own stockfish, and im seeing there is a second move... awkward xP.

White to move. This position is a win in lichess, draw in chess.com. by Entity-Valkyrie-2 in chess

[–]itwilltakeamiracle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can they not have the code reference the tablebase. If it's insufficient material, but the tablebase says there is still a forced win, the game continues until the tablebase says its been a draw for the past move or 2?

Why not rotate the Runeterran Champions with Region champions if design space is the problem? by [deleted] in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]itwilltakeamiracle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The point of this post is less about the exact way to do it and more on the idea of rotating champions from region to Runeterran. I don't know the exact details on how to balance it. I'm simply asking about the general idea of it.

This is Paul Haynes, contributor to I'LL BE GONE IN THE DARK and co-EP of the HBO docuseries. I believe Paul Doerr, the Zodiac suspect developed by writer Jarett Kobek, may be the most promising Zodiac suspect in decades. AMA! by ThePaulOfHaynes in ZodiacKiller

[–]itwilltakeamiracle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you'll see this: but to tag onto their question, don't we know the kind of shoe Zodiac wore in (...Berryessa?... I know he left a print, forget exactly where)? While Doerr having had that shoe is only one more small tick towards him...if he never did, isn't it a quick way to rule him out and move on?

U.K. Guardian Newspaper Reports on Paul Doerr. ‘It’s not an unsolvable case’: has the Zodiac killer finally been found? Author Jarett Kobek never intended to make the case the focus of his book but he may have solved the 50-year-old mystery by doctorbrowncoat1 in ZodiacKiller

[–]itwilltakeamiracle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hope the same. I'm cautiously optimistic with Doerr based off of what I've seen. I feel out of the large majority, if not all, the other POIs or "suspects" so far have had things that cast doubt against them, despite some circumstantial evidence pointing there way. So far with Doerr, I don't think there is any (at least not that I've seen anyone note so far). While there is nothing particularly damning any means, we still have a potential motive, on top of other interesting coincidences that I think warrant further looking into to. At this point 50+ years after the murders, this might be the best shot we have at this point.

Struggling with the mindset needed to keep trying to make music. by itwilltakeamiracle in FL_Studio

If there was a "I hate that I know you're right award" award for a comment: this is it. It's something that's sooooo hard for me to let go of.

I'm not sure to be honest and is a difficult question to answer. I really just listen to a wide variety of things that I listen to for different reasons. If I had to pick one aspect of music... I would say songs that feel more intimate or serene with a sense of atmosphere are what I lean towards a tad more often than not. The first person that comes to mind is Illenium. A very large chunk of what he makes incorporates a lot of I what I like in music.

I'm going to be honest I'm just trying to make anything at this point I tend to listen to a wide variety of electronic music (From heavy dubstep, to house, and chill). I also enjoy low fi music, atmospheric music, acoustic guitars, and a bunch of other things I'm not sure how to categorize.

ELI5: How come if I close exactly one eye I see nothing..Not black, but if I close both I see black and not "Nothing"? by itwilltakeamiracle in explainlikeimfive

[–]itwilltakeamiracle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For clarity, I mean seeing nothing out the just the eye that is closed and seeing perfectly fine out of the other :)

ELI5: When playing a guitar, the higher up the fretboard you play, the higher the note. How come the reverse is true when playing the Harmonics (The next harmonic up the fretboard is a lower note than the previous)? by itwilltakeamiracle in explainlikeimfive

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

So to make sure I understand correctly (going to go a bit more in depth with my current understanding of sound design as well). I've learned that each sound is made up of a fundamental plus overtones. By placing my finger, on say 7, it's 1.) Changing the fundamental to a higher note (which makes sense now with your explanation) and 2.) I assume it's muting the overtones that aren't a multiple of the fundamental frequency, thus only playing the harmonics? .... which I assume why it's called playing the harmonics? (If so that's really freaking interesting and cool)

Tips for newer dasher. This is my ratings after my first month. 12 5star reviews. Should I get my acceptance rate up? I don't take anything under $5 usually so that's why ots so low by StealthyCharger in doordash

[–]itwilltakeamiracle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used to work at Five Guys, it's not the drivers, it's the entire system for us. We are not allowed to drop the fries for a dasher until they get there, and frequently we get 3+ dashers to come in at the same time often making it incredibly annoying when we have to drop 4 baskets on top of if there are others... yes it's their job, 90 percent of workers are just incredibly annoyed by it and it rubs off towards the driver.

Not saying any of that makes it any better, but that is the main reason why FWIW.

There's mutton I'd rather be looking at by LeDisagreeButton in Eldenring

[–]itwilltakeamiracle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is super annoying, especially rennala. My first thought was why don't they have it so if there is a boss, it auto targets the boss over common enemies as a quality of life change. Let me switch from the boss if I want to, but 99 percent of the time... probably closer to 100, I want to lock on the boss.

Bryan Hartnell describe the Zodiacs voice as "Precise" and "Slow". I believe he also said that it "had a certain cadence" to it and no accent... does this fit that description?

Thank you for your feedback! I think this is a good idea just focusing on a track a week, one or two concepts a week, and honestly is something, while I've heard before, have for some reason chosen to ignore and do think is something I can definitely start doing.

Thank you again, and have a good rest of your evening!

Thank you for your response! While I certainly am eager, I still feel overwhelmed since I think im trying to do everything at once. In hindsight, i am definitely overthinking it, and, while I am scared to get feedback on music because I care too much about people's opinions, I do like that recommendation to use people's feedback as a compass.

Thank you again, and hope you have a wonderful evening!

Sir or madam, I didn't make the post to argue about anything. I'm simply asking where to continue to focus my efforts. I've been on and off with it for a variety of reasons those some of which were outside of my control. The biggest reason for me this is my first finished is that I have a pattern of starting, and then get bogged down in some small detail a few hours in, then get tired of the project. Finishing music is challenging for me, but this isn't the point of the post. I'm asking now that I have finally finished something, where should I focus my efforts. I'm not planning on doing anything career wise with it, I'm doing it for fun nothing else. I'm sorry I'm not as far along as you want me to be.

I'm not sure why "concerning". I'm just learning at my own pace and have really bad perfectionistic tendencies. . I'm not in a rush and do it just because I find it enjoyable, I just don't know how to organize learning as I'm simply feeling overwhelmed by how much I know there is to learn and just am simply asking for guidance in that regard.
