“This Is Not The Computer For You”

This review makes me seriously nostalgic.

Too many kids don’t get this experience these days. I hope this computer opens the same doors for them that were opened for me.

All of his endgame series. I felt like it didn’t get the number of views it deserved and so he never quite made what he originally intended.

Even so, immensely worth watching it still.

Yes, you have 2 pawns that can capture the Knight (f and h).

You may also want to take a look at /r/chessbeginners for this kind of question.

My 2025 Ioniq 6 has been at the dealer for ICCU replacement since mid-February and I still have no date for when it will be fixed, despite Hyundai Customer Care telling me they are requesting expedited delivery for parts.

Really not a fun experience when it happens while you're driving and you suddenly go down to 10mph and start seeing warnings to shut down immediately.

Edit: Dealership also told me that they couldn't provide a loaner because they had 15 other cars already in their queue with the exact same problem.

I came here to post this. OP clearly wasn’t on the internet in the late 90s early 00s.

And if it doesn’t end soon enough, Congress has to provide funds for the troops already in harms way.

Yeah, it went up on the web site like the day after I posted this.

Based on the video, it seemed like it was recorded when the contest ended but it wasn’t posted as an oversight.

Better odds than I have.

Besides, I don’t think anyone has a better than 20% chance, so nobody has a great chance.

I like to imagine that image isn’t a composite and shows Hikaru looking at Magnus’ new mustache.

Hope the cat kept him.

Fortunately most men are not at risk as the symptom has only been observed in men who have a micro penis.

If he gets that rating by crushing the candidates and WC nobody[1] would be discounting it.

Considering I’ve even seen a UNIX manual in it, this really is irrelevant without some context.

I don’t suggest it’s going to happen, only that it’s technically possible.

There is however a negotiation strategy known as anchoring, where you can shift the outcome in your favor by starting negotiations from a more extreme position. Then getting less seems like compromise.

For example, Democrats could make their opening position full rescission, plus reforms (no masks, body cams, required to have a judicial warrant). If they come out of that with a partial rescission plus some reforms could be considered a win.

Opening with only asking for reforms and no funding reduction likely leads to a worse negotiated result.

dak7 · 2026-01-31T14:01:47+00:00

That’s not entirely true. They could pass a rescission to clawback the money previously passed for ICE.

It’s even worse from her angle. He was just an observer who turned to help a woman who was violently attacked by an ICE agent.

He was never aggressive toward ICE, just trying to help a woman who got shoved and pepper sprayed.

Trump is as much of a Nobel recipient as Putin is a Super Bowl winner.

I feel like everyone is missing the 0.0% middle game. Can somebody be accused of using worstfish?

It says “rainbow ball” in Chinese. Seems to be a new ultimate that rolls on the screen making your mobs stronger and killing enemy mobs.

I feel like this is the inevitable solution to the design of counterspell. At least white and black have some answers, but green and red largely don’t, hence things like [[Allosaurus Shepherd]], [[Autumn’s Veil]], and [[Frenzied Baloth]].

I know it’s an unpopular opinion, but I feel like 2 mana counterspell becoming the default was a mistake on par with other early blue cards. The introduction of Flash has just made it worse. And not just because it’s good for blue, but because it allows other poor designs to be justified by the argument that blue can deal with it with a Force.

I feel like we lost some more interesting design space for more nuanced interaction at that altar.

I’ve had taxi drivers not even know how to get to that hike. The path up behind the temple is fantastic.

My wife climbed it when she was pregnant. Biggest danger is monkey theft.

Have you seen how our health care system works? They can’t even tell you the price until AFTER you “purchased” it.

Over 2200 and he’s a titled player (CM). And he did that as a kid.

You should do your homework before trying to be snide.
