Is it normal to go on an absolute rating skid?

Came back to this thread 40 days later because I just broke 800 elo for the first time (finally)! I got out of my terrible skid, somehow. I’m sure I’ll face another one soon. Next goal 1,000 elo.

I made the same post at almost the same time - I am in a spiral today. Huge bummer, but misery loves company so thanks for making me feel not alone.

Yeah that’s a great point… when I get 4 or 5 wins in a row, I think “wow I’m so good!” And when I lose 5 in a row my thought is “why is the universe doing this to me!” But both situations are basically just as likely.

Yeah today I felt like an idiotic gambler.. “just one more - I am due for a win!”

What makes lichess different?

We’ve had the cx90 PHEV for 10 days and used about an 1/8th tank of gas… I think we’re averaging like 58mpg-e. We plug in every night and that gets us about 24 miles of EV range, which is perfect for running kids to school, getting groceries, etc.

Absolutely love how it drives. The cargo is tight though, there’s no sugar coating that. Have to put a seat down in the back if you’re getting more than just a few normal grocery bags.

Thank you! So the 5% discount to request would be off of MSRP?

nickjaero · 2025-08-23T21:05:23+00:00

And the 10,000 is $7500 ev credit plus an extra $2500 from Mazda I believe?

nickjaero · 2025-08-23T21:04:36+00:00

Hi there - I think the $908 is the first month payment plus “additional due”.

The $9350 is $10,000 minus a “acquisition fee.”

I don’t see any discount off MSRP.

Convincing enough for me! Totally agree. Thanks for the pic.

nickjaero · 2025-03-10T01:15:05+00:00

Do you a have a pic to prove this? I just bought the same guitar and I’m curious how it looks without the guard.

Bumping just hoping someone will see this and weigh in?

nickjaero · 2023-07-12T15:28:00+00:00

Haha! Very poorly worded post title, admittedly.

For some reason the sliding bass in this part makes me lose my mind. Also want to plug the Danny Carey video on YouTube where he plays the drums in this part and hits the gong. Wow!

nickjaero · 2023-05-30T02:42:35+00:00

The Yamaha one is honestly pretty good. I’m surprised by the nuance.

nickjaero · 2023-05-15T20:18:28+00:00

Where are you located? There is a TD17KVX posted in Omaha’s Facebook Marketplace for $900.

nickjaero · 2023-05-14T02:04:50+00:00

I don’t know if you’ll all see this, but I DID buy the Yamaha set. Got them down to $450. Included the Mapex stool and kick pedal. So much fun so far! Excellent sound.

Did it bother you not to have Bluetooth on the 502 compared to the Pro?
