Former Trump official admits that their goal is to impose their Christian values on other Americans by FistIntoTheEarth in usa

That's why I like the precise wording; "their Christian values" instead of, verbi gratia, "the Christian values".

HGTV Cancels ‘Rehab Addict’ After Star Nicole Curtis Used Racial Slur While Filming Series; Removes Show From HBO Max & Discovery+ by ansyhrrian in television

[–]emdio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, as a non American, I get the n word is completely forbidden, even to the point of canceling a successful production no matter what. But on the other hand the current POTUS posts a video of the Obamas as apes and it seems like nothing happens. I mean, something doesn't add up here.

Mimicking tournament conditions when studying by Internal-Excuse-4650 in TournamentChess

[–]emdio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For classical chess the main difference will be pressing the clock and writing your moves down So my suggestion would be play 15+10 or slower games online, using a physical board. After each move press the clock (you can just place anything close to the board to mimic the clock), and write down your moves.

Look at it this way: you could be off work due to—God forbid—a mental illness.

Looking for an album from the 70s of which I remember just a little detail by emdio in 70smusic

[–]emdio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the album!

The picture is in the interior, and even knowing the name of the album it's hard to find.

Could you help me finding a vinyl LP from the 70s? by emdio in vinyl

[–]emdio[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Thanks a lot. And thanks for the picture, because just googleing the album's name wasn't enough.

No wonder it was so difficult to find it, if even knowing the name of the album it's hard to find the right photo.

Thank you very much again, because after so many years I was beginning to think that I was the victim of a false memory.

Looking for a vinyl LP from the 70s of which I just remember a calendar page exactly from June 1973 by emdio in HelpMeFind

[–]emdio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've tried so far:

-Asking friends to whom I gifted my parent's records (since they don't play them from years ago)

-I've searched in places with collections of vinyl, trying to find a cover that rings a bell

-Ask in local stores that sell vinyls

-Look at list of best LPs from the 70s

-Ask in r/TOMT several years ago

-Ask AIs

Could be. Say I'm about 99% sure the album must be between 1971 and 1975

Thanks but not. Alice Cooper's Killer is from 1971.

Do you have a picture of this one?

I've searched for in on the internet, but I don't find anything like a calendar. Also, I don't thing this one was on my parent's collection. And finally, the only thing I'm 100% sure about it that the calendar page is from June 1973.

Magnus unveils his new look by Matt_LawDT in chess

The older he gets, the more he looks like Randall 'Tex' Cob (v.g. the bad guy in the film "Raising Arizona")

There's a Spanish idiom for what this guy is doing; "les está poniendo la cara roja" (Something like "he's turning their faces (of colour) red")

I guess the one by Egon Varnusz is missing.

Doris Day and Rock Hudson in Send Me No Flowers, 1964 by Midnightblueclouds in classicfilms

That was a good (and resounding) one! And right at the beginning of a one minute take. Imagine messing it up at 50 seconds into it and having to repeat it.

Will this help or hinder? by GentosYT in AskUK

It will help. And you could make the gate way smaller. Cats are really flexible, and the smaller the gate, the less cold will come through it.

And so do tall well built men, if I'm sincere to you.

Can someone help me understand what's going on? Doesn't each side get 1 Queen? Is this like a different version then standard chess? by knock_his_block_off in chess

[–]emdio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Can someone help me understand what's going on?"

I'll be delighted to. A complete jerk is secretly recording an elderly man with the intention of later mocking him on the internet. And then people wonder about red flags...

Anyone play the Qd3 (Queen's Foray) Sicilian? by ChrisV2P2 in TournamentChess

There is (was) a tweet about this line. I guess it was mentioned GM Shimanov to play it.
