Nz too apart from old people who still use acres.

My Reddit account is significantly older than my kids - apparently I joined in June 2007. And they had to go fuck it up like what happened to Digg.

What I want to know is where all the Digg (or going back further to slashdot) refugees are.

It does work although breaks occasionally and you seem to need a (free) token from tuya to get it running now. That said it let’s me use my tuya devices through homekit now which is pretty handy.

Don’t know what part of China you were from but damn for me it’s the food. Sichuan food is about the best thing I ever put in my mouth. So many flavours.

I had the opposite experience as you as I moved to China from NZ in my early 20’s, and I loved the life and liveliness there, and as a clearly non Chinese person, the people were super friendly (some well beyond the point of invading my privacy) but it was still an overall great experience.

Dang dude, that’s some dedication. I’ve started playing a year ago and just reaching around 1000 now. Mainly blitz and bullet as with kids it’s hard to focus on longer games. I really enjoy puzzles though - not sure if that helps me much. Apparently my puzzle rating is 1750 for whatever that’s worth.

I find it really satisfying when I improve again though as I’ve definitely plateaued or taken breaks a few times. Any advice for someone at my level?

Damn. That’s a very solid rating. I feel that improve and plateau as well. Did you do any study or really just through playing games?

Guess it depends on which time format you are playing, but even ten thousand games of bullet adds up, and it always amazes me how much time increments can add to total duration too. What’s your rating after that many games?
