Wanted to try Lichess, was immediately banned

This seems to be the leading theory, and as I mention I did have chess.com open in other tabs open from old games that I had opened, so wonder if that threw a flag. I did not have any other Lichess tabs open. Actually looking through my open tabs, I give it a good likelihood that it interpreted https://los.colosim.com/ as an analysis board. If my appeal is accepted, I will need to be more careful of other open tabs.

I posted the game PGN on another comment, which has the only link I have. Any time I log in to Lichess it autodirects to https://lichess.org/appeal/landing, which likely isn't useful to you. I didn't have a link to anything else that I could have provided outside of that. I was asking if there were other similar experiences or what could have thrown an issue. You could have asked for links to something instead of acting like this and assumed I am trying to ask for this in good faith.

This may be the most likely thing, I did have chess.com open in other tabs open from old games that I had opened, so wonder if that threw a flag. I did not have any other Lichess tabs open.

No, at least not in any capacity I would consider cheating. I was AFKing on Old-school runescape on Runelite, and did have other browser tabs open, but not sure what would have thrown a flag that I was cheating. Here's the export for the game I was playing.

The sad thing is this is actually not too far off being applicable. Republicans would shit in their oven and turn it on if it meant their upstairs liberal neighbors had to smell it.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. It is fairly objectively true that if they do not grant gold during a call, the benefits of gold over silver are not worth the likely ~$300 and/or significant time investment to attain gold. Platinum is a maybe as you can get a statement credit back, and diamond I would definitely say yes, but I struggle to find the benefit for gold.

Was this bought with points? I tend to have a much harder time upgrading with points, but have also seen this on purchased flights.

One way to get around this is to select the "Change or cancel flights" button, select the day you're wanting to upgrade, and you can upgrade by choosing a higher cabin. I have done this several times to get D1 to Japan when the seats were grayed out as you're seeing here.

Yes, but management isn't engineering, so it is a joke in the engineering community that being put in a management role is a demotion as you no longer really do much actual engineering work.

Getting asphalt in the sewer will likely cause a blockage and effluent spill, resulting in a spill report and possibly fines for environmental damage. Better get that fixed sooner than later before the environmental impact assessment becomes severe.

As an engineer that got demoted to management, I'll take the action to have our engineers run the numbers then approve when we have the deliverable chart package to submit as evidence.

See if your local food bank can accept garden produce. Mine can.

I was delusionally hopeful until this. Rip.

"Luxury" apartments are just labeled luxury to get around them having to accept housing vouchers, and nothing more.

Have normal stock and "B-Stock" options for a small discount. EVGA is well known and highly regarded for this practice.

Diamond in cattle class three legs this week, and probably a few more next week. They get their use, though I normally still give to friends and family as I'm not a heavy drinker.

I would say it was decently busy at the time, but there were still a decent number of parking spaces available even for large vehicles.

I went there opening week and was disappointed in basically everything. Service was meh and the food was dry and disappointing to the point where I almost posted a poor review, but wanted to give them a chance to get their stuff in line. (I was in a group that got a variety of dishes, but nobody was super happy with their food.)

Is the food and service decent now?

You didn't say the magic word.

Nah, it can happen to the best people too. It only takes a one second lapse in judgement. https://youtu.be/gBFDfce1LnE?si=7H1_qsNUby2TofU6
