    Chess

    Cheating is extraordinarily hard to deal with. The thing is, you don't even need to follow the computer moves the whole game. Just taking a minute or something to find the only move in a particular position is enough to sway a lot of games, in most online time controls, you have more than enough...

    I wanna play more OTB, but I think I've come to the conclusion that this is as good as I'm gonna get. I can't devote a shitload more time to training and theory and puzzles and deep analysis on games, I've got too many fucking hobbies. Gonna have to settle for 1500/1600 online and just be happy...

    Man tabletop is such a different beast. Everyone plays super weird shit in club. I have had like 2 normal games. Just bust out some obscure gambits (not Englund) or fuck it, just play the Polish, no one knows what to do is that.

    My sister is a year younger than me. Apparently she's dating a 50 year old, and my mom is losing her fucking mind about it My youngest sister had to ask her "Mom, how old do you think Kelly is?"

    Dating

    Dating in your late 30s and onwards as a dude with your life together is unbelievable. The tables have completely flipped and you pretty much have your pick of whatever you want. Also - completely unrelated to dating, or marriage or whatever. I was completely unprepared for the first time I...

    First of all - you'd be a great mom. You know how I know? Because you're worried about being a shit mom. No one who worries about being a shit mom is anything less than a great mom. Second - part of the reason you don't want kids is because you havent found the right guy to have kids with...

    Job Hunting

    Sorry for the double here, but what pisses me off in this is that I'm in operations leadership. My entire job is fixing broken processes and managing people. If your process isn't streamlined and pisses people off unnecessarily, your process is broken. Fix your process and stop pissing people...

    Already did. It 100% passes ATS scanners now, it's phenomenal. It stopped all of the instant rejects Now, I get 2 phone screens for 30 applications and both of them are "super excited" to pass on my "impressive background" to the hiring manager and then a week goes by and oops we gave it to...

    I will say this - feeding raw had the beautiful side effect of having a 12 year old dog with exactly no weird growths like literally every other dog I've seen. It's a little thing, but once you experience it, never going back. Sorry about losing the dogs - worst thing in the world. Been like...

    The Metal Thread

    Maiden's biggest claim is they've done everything they've done with exactly zero mainstream media support. We've had a "rock" station here my entire life. I've never heard a single fucking Maiden song on it other than Run to the Hills. Band's been around for 50 years and that's all you can find...

    Megadeth lives in this weird space for me where they're good, but I don't ever need to hear any of their music again. Kinda the exact same space Metallica started like 20 years ago. Metallica was because they were so overplayed and over hyped and it just was exhausting. Legitimately have not...

    Highlander

    I rewatched all of that shit awhile ago. Xena and Hercules are on par with the original Star Trek for me - yes, admittedly campy, and low budget SFX, but the writing is decent enough, and it's just good fun. Highlander on the other hand didn't hold up at all - and this is coming from a guy who...

    I used a mason jar, and I've got one of those mason jar vacuum seal things. Worked out fine, but I haven't opened up since I did the first piece. We'll find out when I finish the next one this summer.

    I didn't have those problems. I used the foam brushes, and there's a thinner for it - mineral spirits maybe? I poured some mineral spirits in a ziploc bag, tossed the brush in there, completely clean the next day for the next coat.

    It's also absolutely disgustingly powerful odor I put it on right there - in the garage, with the 2 car door open, and it was so brutal I had to go in the house. So you're fucked until you can put it on outside.

    I changed the garage code and took away the spare key that she used to come back and forth with. She can knock on the front door now if she wants to come over. She was too young to know the bullshit her mother pulled, so she believes her mom on everything she says. Last time she was here I...

    Near as I can tell, the vast majority of relationships fall into some variation of one person carrying all the weight and the other being a piece of shit. The trick is finding someone who would carry all the weight, and then you carrying your own weight, and then getting lucky that they don't...

    Game is pretty awesome. The tutorial is straight shit, but if you can get past that, you're in great shape. I haven't played a ton of games, so I don't know if anything else shares these mechanics, but it's pretty interesting. You start with a weapon and armor, each with abilities on them. The...
