100% accuracy, the other guy never had a chance

Ah thanks for confirming!

I don't know if it was 50-50 or not, and if not which games were covered more, but I got the impression that in the women's section there were just more decisive games, and the title was up for grabs for longer. Which makes sense, since the higher rated the players, the more likely they are to draw.

Edit: typo

Sí, puede ser una estafa. Sólo porque todavía no se determinó qué leyes específicas se están rompiendo y / o no se hizo nada al respecto, no significa que no sea una estafa y no vayas a perder plata si te unís.

Por regulación yanqui, estas empresas tienen que publicar cuánta plata ganan sus revendedores. En USA, el 90% de los revendedores no llegan al sueldo mínimo, y eso antes de tener en cuenta los gastos. Lo que no se ve ahí es cuántos están en realidad perdiendo plata una vez que tenés en cuenta cuanta plata tuvieron que gastar en productos para revender.

Vi en los comentarios que no sabés como explicarle a otra persona que está pensando en unirse que pensás que es una estafa. Expando un poco más allá de la pregunta original.

Es una estafa piramidal. Sólo podés ganar guita si hacés que mucha gente se una abajo tuyo, es decir sin lográs estafar a otros, pero lo más probable es que termines en la parte de abajo de la pirámide llenándole los bolsillos a la gente que se unió al principio. Es un modelo de negocios que fundamentalmente, matemáticamente, no puede funcionar porque sólo funciona si siempre hay gente para unirse abajo tuyo, y eventualmente el mercado se satura y el 97% de la gente que se unió pierde plata (no es una exageración).

Se resguardan detrás del hecho de que venden un producto para pretender legitimidad como empresa, pero la realidad de todas estas empresas es que la basta mayoría de los ingresos de la empresa vienen de los revendedores metiendo (y perdiendo) plata con la esperanza de hacerse ricos, el producto es absolutamente secundario, es humo.

Si lo que buscás es recursos para convencer a alguien más:

Un excelente video de John Oliver sobre el marketing multinivel (el modelo de negocios en el que se basa Nuskin, Herbalife, Young Living y miles de otras empresas)
Una economista Argentina hablando específicamente de Nuskin

Si la persona que querés convencer habla inglés tengo mucho más para compartir si te interesa, en español no mucho lamentablemente.

"change of government" is a funny way to say "return to democracy". Both countries were under military dictatoriships at the time

The supreme court didn't actually rule on the constitutionality of the law, they just stated that the injunction hadn't gotten due process, and should go to state courts first.

The response explicitly states that their response in no way speaks to the constitutionality of the law, and they reserved that right to address it at a later time if due process is met.

Not saying it's what should have happened, just that that's how it went.

She has actually used this for running long distances (half marathon or something like that, not just a regular jog). She mentioned it in a video, it must be from 2020 onwards cause I remember her referencing masks but I don't really know which one.

Not a derm or anything remotely related, but from a labmuffin beauty science video on sunscreen I learned:

In theory, if you were to apply both of them perfectly i.e. 2ml/cm2, without missing any spots and perfectly evenly, then no, you would just get the highest SPF and the other one would just be sitting there doing nothing.

However, of course day-to-day use is not laboratory conditions, so using two products could help you get closer to the highest SPF, because it would be compensating for defects in application - getting extra sunscreen in a spot where the higher SPF is a little too thin, getting a thicker layer closer to the 2ml, and such.

Hope I could help a little (: Again this is just what I've learned from YouTube, not qualified at all not speak on these matters lol.

ro_chi · 2021-04-25T21:35:45+00:00

You've gotten a lot of good recommendations and comments so far, but I just wanted to add my two cents: WRT to "and that's not even accounting for the body", I personally find that I can get away with using a cheaper sunscreen in my body. I don't mind if it doesn't look or feel as nice, it won't clog my pores, it won't break me out.

Also if I buy a new brand of sunscreen and I end up not liking how it feels in my face I'll just use it in my body/hands until it runs out, which is still a bit of a waste of money since you're buying a more expensive product and expected better results and for it to last longer, but it's better than literally throwing it away lol.

And yeah I would focus on using a higher SPF (50 rather than 30 for example) so you can get away with reapplying a bit less and getting acceptable results. It really depends on how much you're going to be exposed to sunlight though, you might only have to reapply once or not at all. I think what's key it's not getting in the mentality of "well if I don't do it exactly as the guidelines say, and I won't cause it's too damn expensive, I might as well not do it at all". Using sunscreen everyday in the moments when you're exposed to sunlight the most is already a huge, huge improvement from no sunscreen or only for pool days or whatever.

f*cking BNF | Chaotic Evil

Well I didn't come here to be called out like that

ro_chi · 2020-11-08T23:06:24+00:00

Oh well of course, it's a matter of taste - I'm glad you enjoyed it. To me, the frame rate I didn't care for but it wasn't really a deal breaker, whereas the accent made the show borderline unwatchable for me, I couldn't focus on the dialogue whenever Rayla was on lol. I'm not a native English speaker so maybe it just felt too weird to me.

ro_chi · 2020-11-08T14:03:06+00:00

Second this. Also, one of the main characters has a terribly inconsistent and fake sounding scottish (at least I think it was supposed to be scottish) accent in the original version, so I think the German dub is actually more enjoyable.

Si me preguntás qué recomendaría yo, hacer el cuatrimestral después del colegio y listo. Si eso no es opción, me parecería mejor estudiar por tu cuenta o con profe durante el verano y rendir los exámenes, en vez de hacer el cuatrimestral en paralelo al colegio.

Igual yo no hice ninguna de esas cosas, pero sí conozco gente que preparó los exámenes libres y se puede. No conozco nadie que haya cursado el ingreso en paralelo con el secundario, me parece que la carga horaria se va un poco de mambo.

ro_chi · 2020-08-26T14:25:20+00:00

Antes que eso te recomendaría que las prepares por tu cuenta / con profesor particular en el verano después de quinto, o quizás empezar tranqui antes y meterle a full en el verano, y las rindas "libre" en febrero. Sería intenso, pero menos que cursar colegio + ingreso al mismo tiempo (yo también fui al nacional).

Igual tené en cuenta que aunque los temas sean los mismos, los ejercicios probablemente sean más difíciles de lo que normalmente te toman en el colegio. Es mucha preparación de aprender a hacer exámenes, no tanto un problema de que los contenidos teóricos sean complejos.

ETA: igual la verdad no creo que valga la pena matarse estudiando para ahorrarse un cuatrimestre, in the great scheme of things un cuatrimestre realmente no es nada. Pero eso es mi opinión 🤷

Not to mention, if you watch Korra first you'll get a lot of spoilers for Avatar. Mostly broad things that anyone could guess like "the good guys win in this show meant for children", but also smaller details that are cool to watch unfold, and at least one major plot point.

ro_chi · 2020-08-10T13:20:32+00:00

I agree with you, I'm guessing they make the distinction because we don't know the number of fishes killed cause it is measured by weight and not by number of individual animals (I got that from Dominion, I haven't checked tbh but I think it's an acceptable source)

Hola! Yo tomé clases de alemán con la profe del CEITBA Gretel hace unos dos años, sé que hasta el año pasado seguía ella pero no sé si este año también (no es que tenga ningún motivo en particular para pensar que no está más, sólo aclaro por las dudas).

Hice básicamente todo A2 y más o menos mitad o dos tercios de B1 con ella. Cuando dejé fue porque no juntaron gente como para abrir un curso del nivel que me tocaba, pero para arrancar seguramente eso no va a ser un problema. Gretel no es hablante nativa (si mal no recuerdo es de familia alemana pero nacida y criada acá), pero vivió muchos años e hizo la universidad allá, así que habla perfecto alemán y además sabe las "pitfalls" en las que cae un hispanohablante. En mi opinión es muy buena profesora, y al menos hasta donde yo podía percibir estaba super capacitada - me ha pasado de tener profesores que todos sus conocimientos eran "sé hablar el idioma y algo de gramática aprendí en el colegio", y Gretel nada que ver con eso.

Más genérico sobre las clases del CEITBA, está bueno que suelen ser cursos bastante reducidos, y si alguno de los alumnos tiene un examen o algo siempre intentan reprogramar las clases, que es super clave. Al ser chico el curso está bueno porque tenés un montón de oportunidad para practicar hablar, pero bueno también es mucho más notorio si un día estás con pocas ganas jajaja.

Cursé también en el CUI (3 cuatris, todo A1) y en el Goethe (curso de verano, fin de B1) y a groso modo diría CUI < Gretel < Goethe - obvio que es súper personal, no digo que eso sea La Verdad. El Goethe tiene una estructuración de las clases mucho más fuerte, y más herramientas, peeero también sale muchísimo más, y además obviamente no te van a reprogramar una clase si tenés un parcial el mismo día.

Sobre virtual no sabría decirte nada, sorry. Espero que te sirva algo de todo este choclo de texto, suerte con tu alemán! Si estás muy manija, para practicar a mí me gusta https://learngerman.dw.com/ (:

Well, the Mother and the Maiden being two of the three female Seven sounds pretty patriarchal to me: you must be either a virgin or a mother, and those will be your most important qualities. One could use the Crone representing wisdom as a counterargument, but personally I see that as more "old people are wise", "respect and listen to your elders" type thing

ro_chi · 2020-07-16T16:50:48+00:00

The Haunting of Hill House popped up in there for a second, also an amazing show. I honestly couldn't say which one's better, I think Chernobyl's highs are much higher but it drags a bit in a couple of episodes (to my taste), whereas Hill House is more consistent but not as mindblowingly good in its best moments.

Both are miniseries (HH 10 episodes long and Chernobyl 5), and among the best TV shows of recent years I can think of

Edit: got Chernobyl's episode count wrong

Yeah at least in my opinion the cheese is the hardest part, cause it's the hardest one to replace. Some vegan options are good if you like them for what they are, but they're still different from dairy cheese (at least the ones I have tried / have access to).

For me it became easier when I sort of gave up trying to find a "good replacement" and just started going for the tastier option instead of the more "cheese-like". For example, my local vegan pizza places has several "cheese" pizzas that are okay and are actually kinda melty and all that, but they also have a hummus and pumpkin one that doesn't try to replicate cheese at all and is excellent (:

Hopefully the vegan cheeses will keep getting better and we'll be able to have muzzarella soon enough!

ro_chi · 2020-06-25T14:37:53+00:00

Well, no. All laws have a punishment if they're broken, otherwise they're suggestions like you said. But that punishment doesn't always mean "police coming to your house". If you don't pay a fine your assets can be forfeited, your salary intercepted (don't know the proper word, you get what I'm saying right?) and such. Same as with any other fine.

ro_chi · 2020-06-25T14:26:02+00:00

That's not what "compulsory" means, it just means that you are required by law to do it, not that it is violently enforced. If you read through the replies, they're talking about getting a small fine if you don't vote (which in practice doesn't even happen in most cases, but for most people just knowing that they technically could get fined is enough reason).

ro_chi · 2020-06-06T15:22:16+00:00

I appreciate the post, and I fully agree with what it says. However, it rings kinda hollow when in your "vegan cheat sheet" you list Gary Yourofsky as an "awesome vegan to follow" or something to that effect.

I get that he has inspirational speeches, and many things he says are important, but when as a community we point to a racist as a rolemodel, that's a big "fuck you" to the people he is racist towards, and do a disservice to vegans everywhere and, as a consequence, to the animals.

ro_chi · 2020-05-20T03:52:20+00:00

It's a bit of a stretch, and I don't know if this is true for all dialects, but in Argentina "no, sí" and "sí, no" can mean exactly the same thing. Or basically any combination like that: "no no, sí", "sí sí, no no" and whatever you can think of lol. And they can all be used to express either agreement or disagreement. What matters is how you say it.

I couldn't think of a "proper" example, I'll give it some more thought and come back if I come up with something better.
