Stupid Quora Questions (but I repeat myself)

At least that guy was ambiguous about the time frame. This guy set himself the goal of beating Magnus Carlsen after "training" for a month.

His strategy involved writing a machine-learning algorithm and then memorizing the output. You can guess how this turns out.
He did get to play against Carlsen, so that's a pretty cool result.

@thegoryone I know a guy who has been playing in tournaments for 20 years. He's played in over 200 tournaments, and he's still not a USCF National Master. Only 2% of people who play in tournaments ever make it to that level.

The Quality of Quora took a nosedive a few years back and I thought it could not get worse. I could not have been more wrong.

It's not uncommon to have sauces with pizzas here, but I've never seen either of these used. For example bearnaise is very popular. (Although that's popular for pretty much everything, especially here up north.)

@atazhaia
Great ... any advise on removing bearnaise colored vomit stains from a rug?
