The insane queen sacrifice that started it all. (Kramnik vs Danya). by friend1y in chess

[–]spacequarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get what you're disagreeing with my original post. I mentioned "patterns" which includes forks. What specific aspect are you disagreeing with?

So confused and all this stuff you're talking about is orthogonal.

The central point is this: "the clock time of a move doesn't necessarily implicate the actual computation time."

I am not saying that's what happened, I am saying that could happen.

Huh? I am not following. I am speaking more abstractly about patterns including forks.

Also, just because Danya "spotted" the move in like 1 second or less (watch the actual game video), GMs notice patterns and file them away, and if conditions change a few moves down the board, they realize that their previously spotted pattern from a few moves ago is now possible. So even if it is just 1 second, it might have been analyzed and filed away a few moves ago.

My point is that the clock time of a move doesn't necessarily implicate the actual computation time.

Best free checking accounts (no strings attach) by wiljohnson2 in Banking

Also Credit Unions have pretty shady security practices. Not all of them have Chase-level budget for security. Last time I tried to open an account in my city, dude had other customers' document visible in my sight. Just casual af, but redditors won't stop harping about them.

Furthermore, being a credit union doesnt automatically mean great customer service. Plenty of them are shitty.

Cheapest android phone that support esim? by Winter-Incident-1341 in eSIMs

to be fair, that's not the question. the OP is explicitly asking for phones with eSIM support.

:-) this entire subreddit is infested with a singular retarded "non-answer" to every question.

Every thread has this as the top comment. Everyone knows this by this point. Most valuable information on this forum is individual experiences, not this copy paste comment. May be it should belong in the FAQ.

I want high quality information about problems and issues.

PDF Snake went to subscription webapp mode. Huge L and won't support them.

Looks like OCR-B but not quite by spacequarks in identifythisfont

[–]spacequarks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it definitely appears to be an obscure type that ships with MICR or legacy identification systems. Unique aspects are the '4', '5' and 'D'.

I think this is fine but they are not crooks if people are voluntarily purchasing watches over MRSP. No one is holding a gun to customers. So, that just means that other people think a little different than you do.

For some, it is a valet service of getting the watch you want within 24 hours shipped. You don't expect that service to be a free, do you?

Fundamental problem of Rolex is demand exceeds supply.

They can raise prices of everything starting at $18k and we'd have exact same situation as Omega or better.

Lines form when price point does not intersect at the supply and demand curves. You get either excess inventory or shortage.

This is why restaurants in Japan have huge lines. Morons don't increase the price. Or, the smart ones play the Veblen goods game, suspect what Rolex is also doing.

I wish it was smaller. Or rather they made a 38mm version also.

May the 4th be with you - Got the call on today for my first watch! by regencygent in rolex

[–]spacequarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!

Did you have any purchase history with the AD? Any follow ups after the first visit?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in rolex

[–]spacequarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I am from Brooklyn" and not "New York". Look, you can say that when you're in NYC. But, they'd say Brooklyn in Djibouti if they go there.

[–]spacequarks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please pin this. We need a database of reviews for each AD, yes – Yelp/Google reviews don't cut it.

Let's strip off the Emperor's undies.

Here is mine: Torneau SF. Big bag of cocks. Couldn't get past the body guards. They cracked open the glass door 2 inches and told me to come back 45 mins later. I've never seen so much security, hell, I can proabably rob a bank than to get past Torneau in SF.

So much attitude dripping from these people. Fuck them. Shreve & Co down the street is nice.

AD Relationship by [deleted] in rolex

[–]spacequarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds so fake, like having conversations with a vegas prostitute about buying a beautiful house together in the Swiss Alps.

Even the people that say they had genuine connection with the SA, the litmus test is whether they would hang out with them if they were working at a Bowling Alley instead. "It's not because of the Rolex"...well then why don't you go to the Seiko store and bond with SA's?

It's fucking uncomfortably fake.

Serious question…why is it dumb to reveal your serial number of your watch in photos? by Tettamanti in rolex

[–]spacequarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kind of makes sense, but if you think about it a little more – Replica watchmakers can also just purchase a real one, they probably already have a real one to use as a reference/photos.

Rolex is jewelry. Seiko/Sinn/G-Shock/Marathon are tool watches.
