"Only eight away from adoption" is a killer mindset

[@lukegriffith2590]

Me: "Damn that pawn on d5 looks strong as" Hikaru: "d5 is weak" Me: ... "D5 is the weakest pawn ive ever seen"

I too, am guilty of this

[@realidadecapenga9163]

"If you have no protection, bad things are gonna happen". That is some solid advice. 😂

[@siyathatapattu1834]

For those of you who don't know, adoption in chess is winning 10 games in a row, humiliating your opponent in the process.

[@luv2ruck770]

Hardly humiliating being adopted by a super grandmaster as an FM.

Right!!! I was looking for someone to make this time stamp lol

[@Hbmd3E]

Adoption An "adoption" in chess is when one player beats another 10 in a row in the same time control, with no draws. An adoption occurred on Chess Grandmaster Eric Hansen's twitch stream when he was challenged by Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura and proceeded to lose ten games in a row to Hikaru.

[@Kraterlandschaft]

[@kaspervestergaard2383]

You good?

[@tankgaming8812]

Bro you ok? you are acting like a slave like randomly praising anyone

[@movdqa]

We have a Keurig machine and get Kirkland K-Cups for $0.25 each and I use it when doing something else (usually washing dishes) while making coffee. We also buy instant which is about $0.05 a cup (store brand). We have an electric kettle which makes it easy. Just push a button and it heats the water and beeps and you pour in the hot water. Brewed coffee is nice if you need to make a lot of coffee at one time and it's cheap if you do it that way but most people don't need to make 10-12 cups at home. This 2900 takes a long time to move.

[@emerj101]

There are alternatives… you don’t HAVE to brew 10 cups at a time. Matter of fact, French presses allow you to customize each brew by volume.

[@movdqa]

@@emerj101 I like efficiency in preparation and cleanup time as well as cost.

[@vedicapproach8105]

Hot water and plastic is a little scary with all of the endocrine disruption from phthalates. Not to mention the waste. I just stick to the powder and hot water.

[@choreomaniac]

You don’t need a “fancy machine” to upgrade from instant. A $20 Mr. coffee. $30 pour over or $50 aeropress will give far better results.

[@emerj101]

Indeed! Instant coffee has just as much caffeine AND is gross and bitter!!! 😂

[@bicker31]

If it's bitter then either you burnt it, or you just don't like coffee. Instant coffee grounds are super fine so they burn easily. If the grounds weren't exposed to air and are brewed to package instructions then it should pass a blind taste test against whole bean at a similar price point.

[@emerj101]

@@bicker31 as a chef, I can tell you categorically that instant coffee isn’t just “super-finely” ground. If you’re into Folders, this is not a diss, just not my preference. Instant is the malt liquor of coffee… it’ll get you to where you’re going the cheapest but it’s just not my thing. No judgements bro, I hate Starbucks even more than Folgers… just personal preference.

[@bicker31]

@@emerj101 ...that's not what I said. I said it was super fine, not that that's all that went into it. Not sure why you're going on about Folgers - there's more than one brand of instant coffee, made from different beans - are you aware different brands taste differently, or did you try one, not like it, then just assume they were all the same? Also, fun fact - malt liquor is not close to the cheapest drunk - that's bagged wine, last time I checked - so you have an incorrect assumption there, too.

[@emerj101]

@@bicker31 IS it super fine though? Pretty sure the definition of instant coffee is that’s it brewed coffee, dehydrated and formed into highly processed crystals. Such massive industrialized takes so many wonderful flavors. So, no matter what brand it is, you’re drinking a “coffee beverage”, MRE style. Instant coffee is not brewed. Now, that’s the US, I dunno what they do in Europe and South America. Yes, I have tried all the major brands, do you have a favorite? Is the MRE a better comparison ( seemed like you didn’t like the malt liquor analogy)??

[@bicker31]

@@emerj101 "IS it super fine though?" Yes, vast majority of product is a rapidly dissolving powder for easy mixing. Your comment reinforces the idea you haven't actually tried it, skimmed the Wikipedia article, thought you had a gotcha, but just showed your butt. "Such massive industrialized takes so many wonderful flavors." You can dessicate a food and turn it into a powder and ship it in a way to preserve its flavor. It seems you''ve assigned the word "industrial", assumed that old and handmade has to be better somehow, and closed your mind to new things "So, no matter what brand it is, you’re drinking a “coffee beverage”, MRE style. Instant coffee is not brewed." Why do you think this is relevant? North Africa and Middle East commonly make coffee from mixing powdered coffee directly into hot water as a traditional drink, and that's where coffee comes from. The modern brewing technologies are less traditional than mixing in a powder, if your concern is tradition? "Now, that’s the US, I dunno what they do in Europe and South America." Have you heard of international trade...? Also why only these two regions and not the region where coffee comes from? "Yes, I have tried all the major brands, do you have a favorite?" 1) Why say this? Are you trying to build credibility for yourself by claiming you've approached instant coffee with an open mind? Your comments ITT suggest that's unlikely. 2) Major brands are all cheapo stuff throughout all coffee products. You just said you disliked major brand whole bean product too, so why would you claim having tried major brand instant coffee makes you some expert on the topic? 3) No, I have coffee nerd friends who have made me cups and I was like "wtf, did you just brew an entire pot?" and had the above explained to me. I enjoy the ritual of my crappy little electric burr grinder and aeropress, but I know there's really good stuff out there from experience. "Is the MRE a better comparison ( seemed like you didn’t like the malt liquor analogy)??" 1) No, you're still just saying the name of another random product you dislike and trying to baselessly attach its bad reputation to instant coffee. It's still hurting your argument. 2) You're still proving my point. US military MREs are mostly nasty (chili is kind of decent tbh), but there are some quite tasty MREs out there that private companies are making. I've also heard other countries have some good ones but haven't tried them. If you only tried the "major" brands and had a closed mind, you would assume all MREs are bad, but that's not close to true
