@whistlecube @Matt_Hecht Okay grandpa let’s put you back to bed

Masayoshi Takanaka is 73 and selling out the biggest venues in Brooklyn love you surf dad

@TammyTheRat_ @hlitoroy @pubity Qd2 Qxd2+ Kxd2 Rd8 and the bishop is pinned, you'll end up losing it
English
@whistlecube @hlitoroy @pubity Queen just goes A5 after that, no? What about queen D2 rather than moving the pawn?
English
@NicProbably @hlitoroy @pubity You mean instead of h4? You could, but the queen would recapture. You end up trading your excellently placed bishop for their much-less-useful knight.

@Kaiser_Darrin @HungryKhid @hlitoroy @pubity Surprisingly, the engine still thinks Qa5+ b4 Nxb4 0-0 is the best line AFTER Ne4! So I would assume it's just a better square for the knight + the h pawn becoming a liability? Idk I'm not strong enough to evaluate this lol
English
@whistlecube @HungryKhid @hlitoroy @pubity Right, he needed to find knight to e4 to block that check.
English
@HungryKhid @hlitoroy @pubity You mean Qxh4? No, the rook is defending that pawn. But after Qa5+ white is forced to give up the b pawn with b4 ...Nxb4 0-0 (which was played) or go uncastled. It's a complicated position though, the evaluation is not nearly as simple as being down a pawn.

Do not buy these shits yet. Let them suffer until they go back to their actual prices

@bobby_on_mars @leamaric By "Toronto" you surely mean the 4 blocks constituting Chinatown in Toronto lol

@leamaric You’ll only hear it within the suburban Toronto ethnic zoomer enclaves. The more shocking thing is hearing more Mandarin than English on the street in Toronto

@RyanJamesShaw @orenmeetsworld I think most people discussing ARR online in these contexts are talking about software products which have ~90% margins, so there's no point
English
@orenmeetsworld Discussing ARR without mentioning margin seems common but I don’t understand why
English
ive learned that ecom/software/agency typically inflate the number they make, extrapolate "arr"
if you ask a big influencer or YouTuber they lie and tell you a smaller number because its so uncomfortable

Just learned a YouTuber with 8M+ subs across 2 channels is netting $220M a year I’m rethinking how I approach YouTube My eyes are open wider than before

@matthewzammit @kineticquant @loaibassam @polar_sh I like polar, it's better than bare stripe in most cases IMO, but it really is a stripe wrapper at the end of the day

Gua Sha is one of those weird things that look like pseudoscience that actually works

@naumanthanvi this is built on nextJS + typescript, so very modular. input sources wise, rn it can do any api + webhook
and the database is on @convex so, it's very realtime.
any preffered way to ingest data?

I love the retro airport terminal look, but didn't want to spend $3.5k on a vestaboard. I coded a fun tool that turns any tv into a vestaboard.

What do you think the odds are that this person, who is perfectly willing to threaten people with hammers while going on a deranged rant, paid his fare? Do you think that if it was much harder to steal fare, that there would be more, or less, people like this on public transit?

Insane Chicago train rider swinging what looks like 2 hammers says he is going to kill white people, and adds that he got out two days ago.

@elkelk @sally124445 You can also just buy 1 NFC tag and emulate it

Deeply humiliating to realize how much this overpriced chunk of plastic has improved my quality of life in just a week.

@short_fictions They did that at no frills in Canada. They released an album and played it in store. This was a few years ago. It was actually ok.

It is so dumb that everytime you go to a dispensary theyre playing music ABOUT smoking weed imagine ur at the grocery store and they’re playing some shit like “ I eat chips every day they come from da Earth” over type-beats from youtube. gimme outta this public immediately

I had a steak in Kyoto the other night, probably the best one I’ve ever eaten, and when the waiter asked me how it was and I told him it was great he nodded and said “I have enjoyed this dish several times so I know what you are feeling right now.”
