    The Queen's Gambit

    This show definitely does not convey anything about her "playing on the fly". The beginning episodes of the show are all about the janitor showing her actual chess openings when they get the chance to play and her reading every book in existence on chess strategies. Did you watch this show as...

    The Queen's Gambit

    They show her doing nothing but playing chess, going over games, and completely obsessing over it. She was obsessed with chess. I mean, she plays games in her head while lying in bed. It was all she ever thought about and all she ever did (well other than chemically enhancing herself). What are...

    This is the first time I've ever going to have to pay on short term gains and I don't like it. I don't like it at all.

    The news on PLTR winning that FDA contract makes me want to buy back in. But the taste of having already taken profits and having to pay short term cap gains and then immediately buying back in is making me illogical.

    The problem seems to be that most people take criticism of the systems at play personally. My opinion of the American financial system is a "hate the game, not the player" type of thing. I do not like how easy it is for bad actors to take advantage of and even create tools to suck wealth from...

    No, I said derivatives are generally horseshit thought up by people looking to get rich off of other people's stupidity and that Wall Street in general, is full of crooks. But keep preaching about RH and WSB "idiots" while you make the same plays they do day in and day out because you use them...

    This is usually the case at the beginning of any expansion. Because there are no difficulties to separate the playerbase you run into a TON of shitheads because you are grouping with anyone and everyone... because everything is base difficulty

    Sanrith... SPACs give SPACs a bad name. Do you really not understand the point of reverse mergers and the entirety of what Special Purpose Acquisition Company means? They do the same goddamn thing that Chinese companies do to infiltrate American markets. "Special Purpose Acquisition...

    The Mandalorian

    This is an interesting show. Some episodes are great and you finally get that "This is Star Wars" feeling again from an actual Star Wars story. Other episodes it's very clear the writers are just phoning it in with stupid, pointless storylines and the laziest dialogue and plot development of all...

    Rearranging WA layouts depends entirely on how they were originally set up. How they are anchored, how they are grouped, etc. It's pretty hard to just tell someone how to rearrange the layout of custom WA packages.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This is just... how everything in the tech world is. It's like pretending Google Stadia and other video game streaming services are new when Sega Channel was a thing in 1994 or calling WiFi networks "mesh networks" and pretending it's new tech.

    I sold most of my PLTR and PYPL this morning. Trying to move more of my portfolio back into funds and, atm at least, cash. I don't like the volatility coupled with the looming threat of shutdowns as cases and hospitalizations hit all time highs. It was tough to pull the trigger on those sells...

    I ended up getting the ASUS VG27AQ since I have no idea how long its going to be before I can reliably get a 3080 and what kind of monitor tech will be out by then.

    The Umbrella Academy

    Its not the actor. The character itself has no redeeming qualities and exists pretty much solely as a foil to the rest of the siblings. The show would be better without that character entirely.

    You need to go to Orgrimmar (if Alliance) or Stormwind (if Horde), talk to a "shadowy figure".

    Rings used to not give primary stats, is this still the case? That's what usually made rings especially not fit into the whole "ilvl over everything" mantra.

    Well, it's also a QoL improvement that basically everyone appreciated. In fact, I think most of the playerbase would have accepted never having flying again as long as we could use the flight whistle. It's always a headscratcher why they give players these QoL improvements only to take them away.
