ace_garp, 1 year ago to asklemmy in Have you ever seen coal burn? If yes, why? Yes, in 1989. East Perth to Midland train yards on the footplate of the Flying Scotsman. The fireman was shovelling coal into the firebox, and it was one of the most concentrated sources of heat I have seen in my life.

ace_garp, 1 year ago to comicstrips in Someone talk to me about Go (the board game). I'm in the process of learning it right now. Go / Wéiqí / Baduk is like the ocean, simple to understand near the shore, but unknowable and somewhat scary in it’s greatest depths. Games on a 9x9 board are faster and may help during early learning. Tsumego are small contained Go puzzles, where there is one ideal solution to be found. (Gobandroid or similar) There is a massive amount of knowledge at this website: senseis.xmp.net/?StartingPoints (All available under the Open Content Licence) It is a humbling game. I know nothing about Go.
