The selection is already biased. High ELO ranked chessplayers are not all that stable to begin with.

News@lemmy.world•Ariana Grande rebukes White House for using her music in ‘barbaric, inhumane’ ICE video
11·3 days agoIt was my understanding that she is of Italian decent. One of those pictures is kind of dark, but my own mother, a black haired Norwegian, gets quite tanned in the summer. But guess none of these stars ever see natural sun as it ages the skin…
She has applied that herself as an deliberate look.
Norway is left out because we call it syphilis.
But from now on I will start referring to it as “Danskepesten” (Danish plague)
Edit: autocorrect had changed the made-up word

I agree that the size of Barrens meant that the chat was something else. I meant that while Alliance got three zones that felt unique and populated, horde had one giant open plain.
Might be because I started as Alliance and switched to Horde quite early
Worst quest for me was rescuing Marshall Winsor from Blacrock Depths. First he is walking agroing all kinds of mobs, then when he sees the entrance he starts running and if you don’t keep up, (let’s say you are fighting some mobs he agroed) you fail the mission even if you can see him standing by the entrance.
First you need to find BRD group, then a group willing to do the quest. And then do the quest. Tried so many times… Still hurts talking about it.
Barrens compared to Goldshire was so garbage in vanilla at launch. Alliance aesthetics was so much more developed and implemented
Then I am squarly a gen x myself. So Masters of the Universe, GI Joe/Action Force and by a stretch TMNT
According to sources, and by that I meam wikipedia, gen x is up to 1980. Me being born four months before that line is very young gen x or very old millennial. Considering how I started uni when I was 25 most of my contemporaries are millennials, so I kind if feel like that my self
I (46) was jokingly called a boomer by a 25ish at work and quitely told her I am GenX. Her reply was whats that? (An answer hilariously apt in a meta way) and she told me it to her it meant person with outdated opnion.
The opinion was me not wanting to use AI but rely on my own knowledge in an area I quite frankly am close to being an expert in. No dunning Kruger expert either.
And I am born august 79 so neither really gen x or millennial
“WHAT?”
This one got me laughing. One more obscure fact is that it has Norways only active volcano

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•On what specific episode does your favorite "I swear it eventually gets really good" television show actually start turning around?
4·17 days agoFirst season on Parks and Rec is not good. Redid the concept and one character season 2 and was awesome season 3 onwards
I am thinking about taking up macramé in my forties and these guys are watching.

7·27 days agoNot me but years ago the inorganic lab at my uni was tasked with measuring heavy metals in whale fat and did what they normally did back then to disolve test materials. Mix nitric acid and hydrocloric acid in some heavy duty pure quartz reagent tubes, put in sample and microwave.
Well. Turns out mixing triglyceride (fat) with nitric acid and HCl as a catalyst makes nitroglycerine. And what does that do in a confined space and microwaved
It turns expensive heavy duty quartz tubes into expensive quartz dust and a fucked microwave.

8·28 days agoHF is a weak acid but extremely complex binding. If you spill it on skin, it will react with any Ca in your body and FUCK.YOU.UP! Always have plenty of water with Ca to rinse with and Ca containing “lotion” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid_burn?wprov=sfla1
It is also fun as you can get really interesting results. I wanted to make a coffee cup with no bottom and put some in a cup and placed the cup in Ca-water. What happened was it removed the glazing and made a cup with slight leak as liquid permiates the clay.
