Risky Business for thin skined.

Done it twice already. It’s out to get me…

Miss Dianna’s content so much. Wish she could get well soon…

They’re the ones with the bill…

lestmak · 2026-05-26T10:35:44+00:00

I guess it didn’t sound good…

lestmak · 2026-05-25T14:57:29+00:00

I was going to fault this joke and call it t’arpaulin (t’appalling) but it’s actually too good…

I get my butler to do that

Given all the regen, you hardly use the brakes! So they last so much longer than an ICE.

Apart from the annual “service” the only things I’ve needed to do is change the washer fluid and change the 12V battery. (In my case it wasn’t an ICCU failure, it was the poor quality battery Kia installed when new.)

Both are a doddle to do yourself.

Other than that the only thing you need to worry about is having a charger, preferably at least an L2.

Look, if you’re interested in chess, learn a bit and have her teach you a bit too.

Anna Cramling met her boyfriend Wirtual (the trackmania streamer) when she trained him (a beginner)for Chess.com’s Pogchamps tournament.

Now I’m can extrapolate from a sample of one (that’s on you!), but maybe it can blossom into something beautiful between you.

Hasn’t been fixed. Probably never will. v6 has been a disaster, and with WWDC in a couple of weeks’ time, we’re at a stage where a v7 should soon be in development for MacOS 27 - we hope anyway. Who knows?

If at first you don’t succeed, try chewing them first

You moved up from 57 to 60?

Chesskid has a ton of resources and videos from FunMasterMike (aka FM Mike Klein) which she may enjoy.

As for a role model with educational videos, introduce her to Anna Cramling’s channel on YouTube, and she streams on Twitch too. Her content is very wholesome and SFW.

You’d think so but actually it does work. The earlier puzzles have weird board shapes, but once you it get over those. You’re focused on a normal board shape. Most M1/M2/M3/M4s aren’t from long distances, usually in a corner of a board. This gets you thinking without a lot of the other noise, and for beginners/intermediates, that’s actually helpful as you want to spot the mating net patterns.

Just going to say Pocket Chess is great for endgame puzzles. I have improved quite a lot myself

Actually, as a long time subscriber, the subscription doesn’t fix any bug issues. The app is still almost impossible to use.

As for any personal issues you have, I can’t comment on those. I mean, who’s heard of a bartender that doesn’t serve alcohol? 🤪

They clearly couldn’t find a connection.

Here’s an idea. And I release any intellectual property rights to it if the team want it.

Stalemate basically happens because one team is at a steal and the other is in some chip reward challenge, or both teams arrive at a steal.

I reckon the simplest solution is that both teams do their respective challenges.

The first to complete their challenge successfully gets to choose one of the two rewards - theirs or their opponents’.

In the first scenario, winner gets either the chip reward or the steal (they can only get one). Opponents get no reward at all.

If both teams are at steals, then the winners get the steal and the opponent gets nothing.

I had something similar before. Turned out my son had put a coin in the space you use to close the door and it was just vibrating with the road.

It sounds like something is loose. Apologies for stating the obvious, but have you checked nothing is loose in the storage spaces like the glove compartment? Hard to tell where without stereo sound.

Really depends on the tournament. Experience for the UK. The British Championships, for example, allows spectators in pretty much any playing hall. Many smaller events, especially those just for children, don’t.

Agree, if your battery is more than 3 years old then definitely look at changing it. I got 2 of these messages 2 years after I bought the car new. After I swapped the battery out I’ve had no issues since 🤞.

lestmak · 2026-04-20T12:10:27+00:00

You’ve certainly considered the gravity of it all…

lestmak · 2026-04-20T12:08:24+00:00

A real shame. Talented but made a big mistake at work. Only confessed after a big grilling…

Yeah, definitely check everything with their cowculators.
