I am infinitely glad that I invested in a home gym. Knew it was an asset but didn't know that it'd be this much of an advantage considering...

Major storm hit through southern Tennessee on Sunday. We've been doing storm work since then, and its mostly going to go all through the week. Storm and tornados hit through some pretty major areas. I was out of power for 2 days but its back on now. I'm expecting to get paid a good bit this week though.

 

[Slammed]

Storm season is the worst time to be involved in any aspect of tree felling. Kudos to you and the other guys who go out in such shitty weather and clean up for other people!

 

[Sophii]

Oh no this is a state of disaster. Tennessee has 3 other tree companies helping us and the power board out. This isnt a matter of personal property work; this is state work. Trees fallen on electrical lines, destroying poles, some real disaster shit

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I couldn't do that shit any more. I've pulled trees from houses, I've stopped them falling on houses in the first place, I've done clean up work. But I'm not into working in such shitty conditions any more unless I can't avoid it.

Oh man its pretty fucked. Kinda cool though; I get to experience the "real world of state work" so to say. Even if its just on a minor scale such as this.

I've seen huge fucking oaks uprooted and countless other disasters. Its absolutely world changing for me.

 

[Slammed]

It's amazing to see the damage weather causes some times.

gonna be watching some of the magnus carlsen invitational on youtube shortly. it's the most lucrative online chess tournament ever and starts today. it's absolutely stacked with talent; the 8 players include the top 5 in the world, the best blitz player in the world and the best teenager in the world (firouzja, the first super-phenomenon since carlsen). eight different nationalities too: norwegian, french, russian, chinese, japanese, iranian, dutch and american.

it's a round robin where everyone plays everyone, each match is a best of four rapidplay games with a tiebreak 'armageddon match' if it's 2-2--which works kind of like away goals do in football/soccer, where black gets less time on the clock but only needs to draw to get the win, so white has to really go for it. once the round robin is completed the top four will go into a straight knockout.

streaming live on youtube here:


kind of a big deal for the chess world as there'll be more of a spotlight on it than usual just because there's fuck all else to watch at the moment lol

Fuck yeah, I'd watch that. This whole coronavirus thing has helped me achieve a personal best rating too, so I might even be able to pretend to understand the moves.

hikaru already choking against magnus like he always does

edit: huh, might've spoke too soon

edit 2: ffs lol, dumbass drama at the end. such a badly organised stream as well. i hope they sort this shit out. fun games though.

Brain machine pretty low. Day 6 of these 16 hour shifts working storm work. I've lost the frustration mood and now I'm just care free.

get that paper bubba. Been there on those crazy shifts before. Tired changes to general confusion after a while. If you’re the one driving, stay safe. Energy drink the fuck out of yourself if you need to. Motörhead will ease the brain pain and energize your corpse.

 

[Sophii]

Nah breh I only just drive home. Don't drive any trucks thankfully; scared of that shit. But hell yeah! Actually, been pumping my brain full of slow funk and Wu Tang Clan this week. On my drive back home its been Pink Floyd.

Here's a couple of pictures! I'll take more tomorrow as we get to them

 

[Satanstoenail]

@no country for old wainds this is outstanding

I thought the singer was going to drop dead.

 

[Sophii]

He's trying so goddamn hard to sound like Kurt. Instead, it sounds like him prairie dogging the biggest shit of his life and the only way the SXM crew would allow him to go is to cover a Nirvana song for them.
