Stuck at 800 elo for months, then shot up to 1000 in a week [rapid]
I spent like 3+ months being stuck at around 800 elo. Sometimes I felt like I would be stuck there forever. Then in just a few days I shot up to 1000.
My biggest struggle was time management on rapid, but using pre-moves and recognizing patterns has helped a lot. Now I have more time for deep thought when I need it, because I'm able to make obvious moves very quickly.
Bonus pic attached of my last game before hitting 1000, white queen was sentenced 25 to life.

Is this a glitch? I got checkmate but the game continued. The game review said it's M7.

What's the best way to pack lunch and keep it cold?
I work out of a van. It can get to 120 degrees F outside, and 140 degrees in the van.
Everyone I've ever worked with in this trade just bought lunch at restaurants, but that's getting expensive.
I'm looking for recommendations on a long-lasting lunch box, how to keep it cool (frozen water bottles or ice packs), and other general advice for packing lunch to go.
This is also in response to the recent discourse on this sub about how we're spoiled because the boomers packed lunch and only went out to restaurants like once per century 🙄
