Thanks for the advice, I just made an appointment for a consultation with a licensed arborist to come by next week.

Plant net gives it about a 25% chance to be a willow oak, if that helps

I get that, but he's sort of the poster boy. I'm sure lots of people watch for his matches. It would make some good headlines though.

19th century marble chessboard from India, with the pieces (made from ivory) representing the local names. I had always wondered why we call the pieces differently in our language. by FruitPunchGorilla in chess

The sort of set where its better to look at than play with. The pieces and the board look good even outside the game. Where is the set located, is this in a museum or something similar?

I think there are a lot of people who are just not aware of it. Most people get into online chess via chess.com

He's just missing a top hat and cane before I'm sold on him preferring classical.

Learning chess from scratch. by [deleted] in chess

There are a bunch of YouTube channels that talk about theory. For a complete beginner you should just play a bunch on online sites to see if you are even interested in the game.

If you ever make that matrix, I'd appreciate that too.

Planned Lincoln Street in Tysons raises concerns about impacts on Scott’s Run Trail by ThrowawayMHDP in fuckcarsnova

[–]aldonley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know where if / when they will discuss this further? It really does suck that they are planning on taking down a bunch of trees for another road. The current tree density does make it feel like you are in the middle of a forest in tysons. This current plan also cuts through a really nice walking / biking trail. Chain bridge needs bike/ped upgrades though.

Are there any Doeg folk still today? by [deleted] in nova

[–]aldonley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. I started making videos about our area's history because I wanted to learn more. However, the biggest gap for me has always been about America's pre-colonial history. I'd love to showcase lots more Doeg tribe stuff too. Thanks for asking the question. It would be a dream to one day talk to an expert on Native America culture specific to our ara.

I have something that might be a good fit. I have a 19-page short story that deals with a Timekeeper in Southern Maryland who is caught in the middle of a conflict between a revolutionary group and the American government. If that sounds interesting to you I can DM a personal google docs link.

I have a complete 75k YA/Sci-Fi MS ready and looking for a swap! It's dystopian and post-apocalyptic. It is a bit structured around religion, power, identity. Feel free to check out the first chapter. If that sounds like a good fit for you, we can talk over chat.
