Played a grandmaster tonight (simul event) Queens Gambit/Grunfeld exchange version. 40 moves in and the eval was 0.0. He actually pulled a chair over (was playing 15 other people at the time) and sat and thought for 6 full minutes. I don't think you can get a higher compliment. I was the last...

Many things are possible when you don't use real wood.

You're not wrong, but my negative review was never to dissuade anyone from getting it. My aim was simply to inform men of the risks that no one else seems to inform them of. I know exactly zero of what I had happen to me was even hinted at prior. And afterwards, every attempt to sweep it under...

I thought about it, but I decided that's overblown. I've got this entire tree. I slabbed it, flattened it, sanded it. I don't see any evidence of infestation anywhere along the line.

This thing looks and feels spectacular. Inside for a couple months now to cure before I send it to it's final home - a buddy 90 miles away so I don't have to look at the imperfections every day!

That's not a full list. Read the vasectomy thread for a couple years worth of reasons not to.

If only I had a planer wide enough anywhere near me. We have 2 "maker spaces" (I fuckin despise that word) and all they have is a fuckin 20 inch. Doesn't help me at all, I'm less than impressed with the "surfacing" bit I have to route these slabs with. The tool marks are just a whore to get out.

Probably should have hung it up a decade ago. Megadeth was my first show, in '99. Marty Friedman and Dave signed my copy of Cryptic Writings. I still wish I had brought a better album. Saw them with Amon Amarth in Wisconsin like a decade ago and I couldn't even sit thru their show. It was...

99% of my LinkedIn interactions go like this. "Hey are you interested in this gig?" "Is the pay gonna be worth my time?" "No" Why are we talking then?

That's what I ultimately decided too. I'll see if the local hardware store has any of that shit before I order them online.

As Kirun said, my pallet jacks are 1500lbs (3500 fully loaded) and my forklifts are 14,000lbs (18,000lbs fully loaded). You cannot have impaired employees doing that work, they can kill themselves or others. As soon as we notice the impairment, we pull them off of equipment and sit down and...

This I was sleeping on my sister's couch, 50k in debt, paying all the bills, and I had a domestic charge I was currently fighting. I had way less than you, and I'd still get a lawyer again. Get a fucking lawyer, or spend the rest of your life wishing you had

My 401k has a 9.5% rate of return this year. SPLG is up 18.6% in the last year. I was thinking about increasing my 401k contribution but it's fuckin pointless to contribute beyond the match to that horseshit plan that they've charged me $30 this year so far. Every time a financial fuckwad at...

Really? I fully plan on taking all 401ks I ever have from now on and rolling them into the IRA I control. The return I get on just having everything in SPLG is completely incomparable to the "managed" plan I pay for the privilege of having at my employer.

Both. What is better depends on your situation. Chess.com has a shitload of cheaters that they don't do much about. They seem to be getting worse about enforcement lately too. When I started playing again a few years ago, I wouldn't go a week without getting rating back from banning cheaters...

I went with bench legs, because they were the same height, but less artsy. Came with screws, but is it worth it getting those threaded inserts to attach to? I assume it's probably worth spending the money on that shit for a superior attachment point.

My question is how does he not work and have a challenger?

3-0 again this week. My OTB record is now 8-0-1. (8-1-0? I'm not sure what format chess uses. Now that I think about it, maybe that - 8 wins 1 draw 0 losses). First game against a gal rated 1066. Got to play the Caro Kann - haven't played anyone OTB who's opened with E4 yet. My win rate in...

Go find my post in the marriage thread. I was in the same boat and had less to work with.

I couldn't spend 50k a month if I tried. I'd have a baller month and still have like 32k left. It's why I like these boards - literally all walks of life. Everything from the degenerate welfare weebs to the degenerate rich, and all the degenerates in between!

So, it's really only 50/50 if you make the judge decide it. You don't have to do that. In my situation, my ex had run up about 50k in credit card debt, which I then transferred to my credit cards because they kept getting canceled and the interest rates were insane and she was too stupid to...

My favorite saying I've heard from watching chess videos is "secret grandmaster move - knights move backwards." Retreating Knight moves are some of the hardest moves for people to see/play.

Someone's job hunting, just not me. Just had to fire my best employee because she decided to come into work drunk. I guess technically she quit because she refused to get tested. Real mean drunk too, judging from the ride home.

But I already lost all my guns

Well, this finish turned out way better than I had expected. Looks fucking amazing. Note to self - start on the bottom of the piece, so when you flip it over and get runs/globs, they're on the bottom and no one will care anyway

I got divorced a little less than 7 years ago. Ended up 100k in debt, between paying out equity and absorbing her fucking credit card debt. She thankfully ended up keeping her student loans (which she tried to pawn off on me as well, but I told her if they were a marital debt, then her degree...

Sounds like he listens to Candlebox.

So, you're.....not a pure blood?

Yeah, Every time I say this, I drive home and watch a semi merge onto 35 and then shoot directly to the left lane and fuck up traffic foe the next hour

CDL driver's start at $33 and can't work more than 60 hours a week. REALLY tempted to just have the driver supervisor sign off on my "road time" and go get one and make 2k a week doing fuck all.

Yeah, I'm about done with it. Maybe one more coat - but it gets very glossy with 3. You can see 3 coats on the on the last quarter of the second slab. I don't hate the legs, but I'm looking for more options before I pick one. This is going to go to my buddy a couple hours away - that way I...

I am looking for coffee table legs - that's what this will be. I think probably metal - something I can just screw into the bottom and be done with quick. I found this site and there's a few options here. Anyone ever know or seen any other options? This is a little too "modern artsy" for my...

2 coats is where it's at.

Just switch to front squats and hate yourself.

If I had answers to that shit, I'd probably be making a lot more money!

I'm friends with my old boss, who was hiring supervisors for 85k pre COVID. Now literally the entire city is sitting at 65-75k for pay bands on 80% of supervisor gigs. He's trying to get a director/VP job and paid for LinkedIn premium and every job has 250+ applicants, so he's either...

Just gonna call it now, this video is better than this pile of shit series.

My kid got flagged for the same name change as she did on Turtle Wow. So, same faggotry. Just so everyone's aware = Womenswrongs = name change. Meanwhile, Epsteinslist is out there recruiting guild members.
