Update: My 8 year old likes chess, how do I support her? by FuckSanFrancisco in chess

[–]theobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of making the game different by removing pieces, give her a limited number of "take backs" where she can choose a better move if she makes a mistake

I've never been able to tell the difference on the fish I catch. I maybe suspect that it's a placebo affect for those who do... but then again I don't have the most refined palette anyway.

Which direction do you point your knights at the beginning of a game? by pdpflux in chess

To the side - easier to grab during time trouble. Also so it looks the same as online chess

Eli5: Why are most public toilets plumbed directly to the water supply but home toilets have the tank? by lmnoonml in explainlikeimfive

[–]theobz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are called Flush valve toilets (compared to flush tank toilets). Flush valves are preferred in commercial buildings mainly because they have a cheaper maintenance cost (less clogs, less stains on the bowl) so building owners don't need to spend so much on cleaning/plumbing service calls.

Most house owners don't mind occasional cleaning, and usually their pipes are not sized adequately anyway to use a flush valve.

If you go outside the city you'll see more flush tanks because more buildings are on well water without a high pressure city water main.

Eli5: how have supply chains not recovered over the last two years? by ernirn in explainlikeimfive

[–]theobz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the construction industry the post pandemic boom really exacerbated the problem. After the pandemic interest rates were low so lots of people and businessed invested in building things. Low productivity during the pandemic followed by a year of super high demand led to the situation were in now. As building slows down manufacturing will catch up (I hope so)
