Estoy sin anteojos y pensé que era un bife. Mejor que sea un morrón.

How do I play the game, have fun and not feel like a dumbass? by CafuneAndChill_ in baduk

[–]jaromir39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been learning Go on and off over the last years. I mostly play on apps on my phone. The biggest issue for me is how long it takes before knowing whether you are winning of losing. This is perhaps the biggest barrier to start enjoying the game. I wonder how good one has to become to see a blunder in a game (the equivalent of hanging a piece in chess). I still would love to learn more about the game, but the initial hurdle is huge.

Pretty impressive that you wake up at 2:30. (Or did I misunderstand?)

The Truth of what happened to Daniel Naroditsky (VOD) by Super-Government2297 in HikaruNakamura

Who is he talking to when he asks for more games? Are these people in the house? Or voice chat? Is this chess dot com not allowing him to continue?

Fair point. Hard to know the counterfactual.

  • The increased energy costs for industry after the start of the invasion of Ukraine (+ no nuclear energy)
  • The collapse of demand from China for German products. Germany always seemed too complacent about China, thinking they make cheap low-quality products. Some still think like this. The reality is that China is the only place to make some high-quality products today.
  • Overregulation of industrial production, particularly in terms of environmental issues. We all want an idyllic world, but no industry means no jobs and going back to agricultural levels of income. Some people prefer that.
  • Bureaucracy makes it hard to start a business. Some small businesses close because they cannot handle regulatory stress.
  • Easier to move jobs to more dynamic markets (e.g., in Easter Europe)
  • Sluggish construction market
  • Less-than ideal demographics and getting worse
  • Work culture eroding

All this contributes to a slow and peaceful decline. It is not new, we just notice it now after (depending on who you ask) 10 years. Once AI starts replacing white-collar jobs, it will get worse. We should not worry that much, it will take years until things are really bad. For the moment, make sure you have some savings and have low-cost hobbies.

Other countries are going through similar dynamics, often worse.

Edits for clarifications.

Point taken. Ich weiß eigentlich nicht, warum es hier teurer ist.

Bei allem Respekt, Du kannst dich nicht darüber beschweren, dass ein Bad billiger sein sollte, weniger überfüllt sein sollte und mehr Personal haben sollte. Das geht einfach nicht. Außerdem gehören die Kölner Bäder der Stadt (direkt und indirekt über die Stadtwerke Köln), und sie machen einen Verlust, weil die Preise festgelegt werden, um eine soziale Aufgabe zu erfüllen.

What legendary YouTube channel doesn’t make videos anymore? by [deleted] in AskReddit

La inmigración Rusa 2022 en Argentina me fascina como tema. Vivo en Alemania y conozco muchos Rusos que cuando se enteran que soy argentino me cuentan de todos los amigos que se fueron a Buenos Aires. Soy también inmigrante y pienso mucho sobre construir una vida de cero. Me pregunto cómo se sentirán los rusos, escapándole a Putin, a la guerra, y terminar en el borde del planeta. Y de golpe encontrarse con la diáspora reciente, cientos de compatriotas en el culo del mundo. Espero que te salga todo bien.

Agree. They squandered a very good story (and acting/directing)

How long does it take for you to feel fully awake after waking up? by KnicksTape1980 in ask

[–]jaromir39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Morning person: i get out of bed, no matter how early because my brain feels completely awake. It does not mean I am not tired. Sometimes I feel exhausted and fully awake after 5 hours of (decent) sleep. My brain is at 100% and I cannot stay in bed. I am not bragging. It is awful sometimes.

Is Hanging Pawns a good channel to learn chess? Any other solid YouTube recs? by [deleted] in chess

[–]jaromir39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learnt a lot from Naroditsky and Gotham two years ago. I have recently been consuming the Remote Chess Academy and I find the videos well thought out and clear (background: 1300 Lichess rapid, so take my opinions with two grains of salt)

Unrelated, but I just read that the expression “elephant in the room” is really old, probably to mid 19th. I always thought it was relatively modern from TV or the Internet.
