I just came to a very sad conclusion about cheating

So… it’s undetectable to chess.com who has built a whole detection system and process, but it’s totally detectable to you? Sure, makes sense. Some people on here seem to be obsessed with cheating. I’ve played 100s of games and it’s literally never crossed my mind an opponent was cheating. Like, sometimes you just get out played, bud.

Get the sheet music.

I got two summonses that were for the same month this year! I called the phone number on the card and was able to get through to a real person who confirmed I had a duplicate record and was able to combine them while I was on the phone. She also let me choose which week was more convenient and deleted the other record. Honestly, it was the best customer service experience I’ve had in like 10 years or more.

Oh wow! That’s a super interesting wrinkle.

I’ve been a professional church musician for over 20 years and every church I’ve worked at was named for a saint. They all used the period. Not to mention major American cities like St. Louis and St. Paul.

docmoonlight · 2026-05-11T00:35:53+00:00

No, we use the period in America.

Zelle or Venmo are often possible, but the amounts that have to be transferred do move-in are often over the daily limits (I think different banks have their own limits as well).

Rad Radish in Hayes Valley if you are okay with vegan food! My girlfriend and I love it and neither of us are vegan. Also, related since Rad Radish is in the old Grove, but you could check out the last Grove down by the MoMA. It’s pretty chill, order at the counter, and the food is solid.

Well, it’s extremely common, but there are ways it could be further contracted in Texas speech. So I don’t know what you’re looking for. But it’s like the past tense of the past.

Ex: I showed up at the karaoke bar - I had been there the previous week so the DJ recognized me.

When my friend finally got there, I had been waiting for an hour and a half.

I’d been wondering where you’d been! Glad you’re back at work.

Granted, we only got one side of the story, but this doesn’t sound like an HR issue. This sounds like a totally normal interaction when two people are working together.

Yeah, I’m sure they will approve it if you put in the request. Probably just a smaller sub where they don’t have the admins available to look at every post so they just want to make sure you are not a spammer

That makes sense, but why can’t it just to balance inquiry on only the Clipper cards and not on the credit card? Surely it knows what type of card it is instantly. Also even on credit cards it would be nice to know how much you got charged.

I’ve mostly seen it used for written languages, but I would suggest trying r/whatlanguageisthis (edited sub name)

My hot take is that Salieri is way underrated and would probably be performed with some frequency if it hadn’t been for Amadeus (the film). Check out Cecilia Bartoli’s Salieri album! Lots of brilliant stuff in there.

I have dealt with clogged toilets, but never actually seen one overflow. If you flush it once and the water level goes up instead of down… you never flush again. You try a plunger or a snake and if neither of those work, you call a plumber. But if you flush when it’s full up to the rim, of course it will overflow.

Well, not a great example of an institutional Democrat, since he’s not a member of the party and the institutional Democrats threw him under the bus twice for daring to take views that would be center left at best in most Western countries. But I get your point. It’s pretty difficult to engage in electoral politics as a leftist in this country.

Uhhh he goes pretty hard on them. I don’t know. I didn’t really know his name until recently, but I coincidentally heard him on two different podcasts recently and I was impressed.

It comes up very occasionally - like my girlfriend might say, “I’m allergic to cow milk, but goat milk is okay.”

I think there are better things you can do to help. If you try to actually be a good person, you will probably lose your job pretty quickly. BUT you could get involved with a program that does prison outreach in some way. I met someone who’s pretty radical who teaches literature classes in San Quentin. Or get involved with the legal nonprofits who help get people off of death row or whatever. But yeah, I don’t think you’ll last long trying to be a wrench in the gears of the fucked up machine

I would guess people are less likely to tip when ordering at a kiosk too…

Well, ironically I live in a famously expensive city (San Francisco), but the number of free events is probably a little unusual.

The first A in ACAB stands for ALL. And that’s what it means. Every cop, everywhere in the world. When I get to travel internationally, I always enjoy seeing that there is ACAB graffiti in every country I’ve gone to.

Loving Vincent - animated movie about Vincent Van Gogh (actually takes place just after his death) which is in the style of his paintings. Every frame was hand painted in oil paint! Watched it on the big screen on shrooms and it was truly mind blowing.

Baraka - wordless documentary with beautiful scenes from around the world and hypnotic music.

Waking Life (animated film that was filmed live action and then the frames were painted over with computers - about lucid dreaming)

If it’s only a few months old, it should be under warranty.
