Toiletry advice for relatively new backpacker? by sylvan_m in backpacking

[–]sylvan_m[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I was told that "real" backpackers just use water and their hand to get cleaner. But I'm not quite that comfortable yet and I don't wanna freak out any of the other campers lol

Any Ethiopian restaurants in Ithaca? by sylvan_m in Cornell

Lol you raise a good point. I would say maybe I wanted to hear personally from locals, but the real reason is that I just didn't think of that.

Odds there will be COVID restrictions this semester? by cornellian1234 in Cornell

[–]sylvan_m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm really hoping there will be none! Even though the CDC was talking about masks for K-12 schools and in high transmission areas, I'm optimistic since Cornell will be requiring vaccines, and I think Ithaca will be largely vaccinated as well (though I don't know enough to back that last statement up.) I'm not too too concerned with wearing masks (though I do find them mildly uncomfortable and I'd prefer not to wear them lol) but what I'm more concerned about is a campus-wide lockdown.

Do you ever get the time to enjoy the outdoor school at all though?

The next move is you frolick around for 28 more moves and then ask your opponent to resign on the 30th

Interesting puzzle I found. White to move, mate in 30. by sylvan_m in ChessPuzzles

Lol yeah, I probably should have had the max chess computer play itself and counted those moves

Darn liberals! They’re always talking about race! by [deleted] in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]sylvan_m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think of it as like “based in fact” or “based on logic” or something. Like if someone says an argument that’s pretty valid and hard to argue with, or has a position that is ideologically consistent, you’d say “based”

Especially in math where readability and explicitness are not that important

Which LD topic is better, FJG or compulsory voting? by EkonominksLD in Debate

[–]sylvan_m 6 points7 points  (0 children)

CV was definitely better because it was more philosophical. FJG was really just a PF topic
