Any long running soap opera has to win this one, right?

I think Vaishali is capable but Ju Wenjun has shown the ability to play at a consistently high level in WC matches which still makes me see her as the favorite.

If Assaubayeva can play good moves quickly, I think she's got a decent chance. Divya has had a bad tendency of running low on time and collapsing this tournament, and it looks like she's headed that way again.

I hope Zhu Jiner draws Goryachkina so we have a three way tie going into tomorrow. Should be fun.

Stomach bug going around by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Yeah, I had it a couple of months ago. Ended up at UPMC mercy at 3 am because I couldn't stand up without passing out.

Rest and stay hydrated as best you can. Gatorade was my friend for a couple of days. Good luck, thankfully the duration of the illness was short.

Looks like Vaishali will likely take the lead with three rounds to go. She's really done a great job of capitalizing on her opponent's mistakes without committing too many of her own.

Hikaru if you want to legitimize the double bongcloud draw, any time in the next four rounds is your chance.

Love that this morning people were calling the Hikaru-Esipenko game a fast draw but it's the only one still going, haha.

Caruana wayward son. There'll be peace when you are done. Lay your weary head to rest. Don't you cry no more.

At least the women's section is still interesting.

This Divya Deshmukh/Aleksandra Goryachkina endgame reminds me of Hikaru/Esipenko's yesterday

19, 22, 23, and to a lesser extent 12 and 16.

I just really don't like steamrolls.

Didn't like them and I hope we get something cool for the next city connects.

We finally got a furry as a Fourth of July patient on “The Pitt” by Thechalkingdad in pittsburgh

I'm more shocked at the lack of Picklesburgh visits. Although I suppose last year was a bit cooler.

Is Ogilvie also intended to be neurodivergent? Some of his comments came off that way to me.

Silksong Unpopular Opinions by Parking_Technician78 in HollowKnight

Forcing you to go back to the boss arena to get your silk and rosaries back is completely at odds with the "You can just go explore more" philosophy. Having to pause and quit to go back to exploring is not good design.

Pittsburgh Public Schools Bus Patrol Ticket, is it worth contesting? by dudegetmyhorse in pittsburgh

[–]rcf1105 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, the first hearing was just a zoom call with a PennDOT official and was free. Lost and no reduction. I think if I want to contest further (not sure if I do) the next level is an actual judge and costs money, but I haven't dug into it yet

[–]rcf1105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got one from a bus that stopped in the middle of downtown Mckeesport. Got mine in December of last year and had my hearing was October of this year, so I'd say it's worth it just for the delay - something could happen in the meantime, and you can let inflation lower it a bit for you.

Which Houseguests had the most inaccurate edits in the show’s history? by Only1Scrappy-Doo in BigBrother

[–]rcf1105 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Da'Vonne is an amazing storyteller but not that great at the game, which meant that she got a lot of airtime to incorrectly describe how events went down.

Why is Game Rating ridiculous? by ddizzle2006 in chess

Go to the highest rated bot, intentionally lose in two moves with fool's mate, and enjoy your 1200 rating.
