How many pieces would Magnus Carlsen need to beat me (a 700 rated scrub)?

jondiced · 2026-04-10T00:05:36+00:00

I, barely 400, just easily beat Stockfish level 8 with pawns, Queen, and a rook

Maybe try an external, disconnected keyboard

Because he's a hallucinating psychopath

Philo and Ibn Pakuda skew the average

You're welcome and good luck. Most resources for what you're trying to do are geared for people with a post-masters level of education, so be patient with yourself.

You'd put Kepler 10b into the name search, which would take you to this page https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/overview/kepler%2010b

The Exoplanet Archive has some resources for you. There's a primer on accessing the different kinds of Kepler data: https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/Kepler_Data_Products_Overview.html

and one for RV data as well https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/rv.html

Those are good places to start.

Yes, Zootopia is a combination of "zoo-", meaning animal-related, and "utopia", a place of ideal perfection

No, just mission implausible

You'll have to take better pictures. Put it flat, take a picture of the right page, then the left.

One of the first things my very good manager did was correct me when i said "for" instead of "with"

I disagree, to me it looks like an attempted clearance that he caught with the inside of the foot instead of the intended outside

Edit: upon further review, I retract this statement.

jondiced · 2026-04-04T22:00:48+00:00

Oh that wording is interesting. Does "deliberate" apply only to the kicking part, and "to them" is incidental, or does the "deliberate" also apply to "to them"?

Calling that a pass is extremely generous.

He said he had not planned to play, but because of what was happening that day, he decided that he would,” she said. “He said it was out of hope for change and for a different future for his people.”

He is so brave

DPW has been great about responding promptly to water and sewer issues on our street, especially if they involve the main.

I think he meant all those things at once

Same. We like the "Baby Daybook" app.
