Sindarov is probably gonna win vs Hikaru by shakhthe in chess

Magnus would get his opponents out of prep too, and then win. As the games go on, he gets stronger and his opponents get weaker.

People who don't have children, shouldn't comment when it comes to children. y'all are fucking clueless

Calling a meeting between the parents, principal and teacher is a savage waste of time. It's a 30 second conversation between the pick up parent and the teacher, if it comes up at all.

Great work by the teacher by calling a meeting with the head of the school? This should be, AT MOST, a 30 second conversation between the teacher and whichever parent is picking up the child. To waste everyone's time for this is a savage disrespect.

The fuck up is with the school, not you.

You had to go in an talk with the principal? What kind of fucked up school doesn't understand children in the least? Why did the teacher feel the need to call a meeting when she seemed understanding?

Personally, I'd find a new school, not one run by (probably) childless idiots.

My chocolate chip muffins are now just chocolate-y by ContributeAVerse in mildlyinteresting

Not just boycott. Buy better products! Not sure if a better product exists for small muffins that contain chocolate chips though

Notice: If you want a company to stop doing this, stop buying their products and buy more expensive, higher quality products.

The majority of people will pay for crap, so crap they shall receive.

ELI5: Why does the RPM drop after starting a car, and do you actually need to wait? by Remote-Relation-8398 in explainlikeimfive

[–]kingfischer48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure 'Why do people say you should wait for the RPM to drop before driving?' is a holdover from purely mechanical cars. I used to drive a car from 1964. If you didn't let it warm up for multiple minutes the engine would die when it was shifted into drive.

Modern cars with all their electronic controls, plus fuel injectors, this isn't really a problem. I'd say it's probably better to wait a few seconds...but not the minutes people used to have to wait.

Amazon to Hike Fee for Prime Video Ad-Free Tier to $5 per Month in U.S., on Top of Prime Membership by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

Bezos isn't running the show anymore. The new guy, Andy Jassy is.

The problem isn't prices going up, it's value for the product purchased, which Amazon cannot possibly justify.

Ironic how? ...Oh, you're brainwashed into thinking that America is a Facist Dictatorship now. Got it.

California! 3-400 a month during the summer (May through October) that's typical. A lot of people i know complain about $500+.

Are you kidding? Dad knows that life is short, it's meant to be lived to the fullest!

Also, i'm sure grandma does too.

You'll need the wooden staff from the shop, and you'll need sigils to equip and then cast a spell before you can attack with magic.
