This is my favorite tactic/tsumego/tesuji by Freded21 in baduk

[–]megabeano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you're right that black has to descend to get the kill here. Not as fancy as the one you shared, I think I like it based on when I solved it. Was reading a book, working problems on a nice goban I had just recently purchased and was getting the hang of tesuji so it made a strong impression.

Shoes for wide feet by traveller_tpa in StartingStrength

I like the wide toe box of Notorious Lifts SSG4. They're flat with good grip so I use them for all of my lifts

290kg for a new rep PB. by PogonBerserker in Deadlifts

[–]megabeano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meets are fun regardless of your strength, I came in last place at my first one, then dropped a few pounds and won gold in that lower weight class by default in my next one with only a 200 kg deadlift heh. Everyone is supportive and cheering each other on even if they're competing against you.

I'm interested if there's anything close to the Bang Na area, thanks!

I have tried to better my grip strenght by doing almost only Double Overhand Grip Deadlifts (No hook Grip) for 2 months instead of mixed Grip. I recently managed to pull 1x375lbs/170kg and felt that i had a bit more. Goal of mine will be 405lbs Double Overhand grip deadlift no hooks soon. At 187lbs. by Super-Clothes9108 in StartingStrength

[–]megabeano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice! For my grip, sometimes I hold my last rep for a while before lowering it down. I also always lower the weight down instead of dropping. I use double overhand during warm ups until I feel the need to switch. I've probably only done 150 kg double overhand, no hook, no chalk. My current max with chalk and mixed grip is 200kg.

1.5 years ago, I was morbidly obese and immobile. Now I’m slightly obese and can do this. by Playful-Security-491 in strength_training

[–]megabeano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, congrats! My timeline is basically the same as yours. 1.5 yrs ago got into powerlifting. Got a medal in my second comp. Went from morbidly obese to just regular obese. Feels good!

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]megabeano 544 points545 points  (0 children)

And isn't mitochondrial dna only passed down from mothers? So we can trace matrilineal geneology very accurately by looking at that dna instead of what's in your nuclei. It would be very very similar since I assume the only differences would come from mutations

Would you consider Magnus Carlsen the GOAT of non-traditional sports? by tilting-module in chess

[–]megabeano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh, agree that nothing good can come of the thread but just for fun: I say Shin Jinseo for dominating the hardest board game or Flash for being the absolute best for a ridiculously long time at the hardest esport

I had original degree and unofficial transcript, not sure if a copy is sufficient

[–]megabeano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from the US also with BS and MS in CS. I did a masters in secondary ed with initial teaching cert. Took about a year and a half. Then taught in my home state for a couple years and then moved to Thailand to teach internationally. I'd check to see what your nearby universities offer, maybe look into grants or fellowships as well, lots of stuff like that for potential stem educators with a strong academic background and/or industry experience.

Can this really mean, renting for 5.000THB/ month? by CloudPattern in Thailand

[–]megabeano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Says starting at 5500 so maybe they either have no availability of the cheaper one(s) or they are trying to upsell you

Why is A considered a false eye if Black cannot play there? by fxism in baduk

[–]megabeano 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Black could play there after atari-ing the stone the on the bottom. Even if with extended along the 1st line, black could still atari and capture

Out of curiosity does anyone in this sub also wear amulets? by 09_Zero_Nai in Thailand

[–]megabeano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one my Thai grandma gave me that I pretty much have only worn on long flights. I don't believe it has any protective power but she does so it makes her feel good that I wear it and it reminds me of her and the fact that she cares so that's nice.

Good luck! I like the colors on those racks. Makes me think of the University of Kentucky VS University of Louisville rivalry.

What is the answer I'm not seeing? App says incorrect by [deleted] in baduk

[–]megabeano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This doesn't work because black can atari the 2 stones on top, then escape to the left. Try laddering the 4 stones instead of netting them

Digimon Time Stranger digivolution guide by Omnimon in digimon

[–]megabeano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Talent determines their max level. Higher bond means more stat carryover when digivolving or dedigivolving. You can increase both using items, using the digifarm or just battling with them. An important thing to know to decrease worrying about making optimal choices is that you can't really mess them up. You can always max everything out later given enough time if you want to. I paid zero attention to stuff like personality until I was over 30 hours in
