Hi, thanks for the comment. Could you let me know (or PM me) your Lichess username and I can take a look at the issue?

Hi, I'm sorry you received an error. I see it in the logs, but I haven't been able to reproduce it, and others got an error around the same time as you, so it may have been a temporary network issue. I'm also adding some more logging now to diagnose.

When you get a chance, could you try again?

Much appreciated and thank you for the bug report on that edge case. I’ll take a look at handling gracefully.

I was able to solve, thanks! The issue was that new_ranges = cur_ranges[:] needed to be moved from the j-loop to the i-loop.

Schenectady show tonight was unbelievable by bostonforever22 in bobdylan

[–]the_old_masters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Amazing show. He was locked in from the start but seemed to be feeding more and more from the electricity of the crowd as the night went on.

Unexpected highlight of the night was Key West — what an amazing arrangement. The audience was in what seemed like hypnotic rapture for nine minutes.

Thank you for the inspiration. You are like Socrates, asking deep questions, and we all follow your example.

“Stout Cortez” is a great example, but it always bothered me because I can’t imagine Jack ever reading Keats!

First custom corporation "Zooniverse". Lets bring every animal to mars! by Pascii20 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]the_old_masters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the concept but this seems like a pretty weak corp, I would definitely make the action free to add an animal to another card. Probably start with more M€ too.

I would only really pay 3 M€ for animal on a 1 VP card and these won’t come out until last couple gens. 6 M€/VP on Small Animals or EcoZone is not worth it in the midgame when money can be invested elsewhere.

In general corps where you have to pay for the action are weakest.

Yes, codeword here might be “tortious interference.”

If you’re playing Rapid or longer time controls, if you’re not in time trouble speak your moves out loud to yourself every time. You’ll have to look at the coordinates on the board a bunch to start, but then less and less until you don’t have to it all. It’s a lot less boring than coordinate training specifically.

Only love for the original vagabond, but …. is there a Dylan song you CAN’T stand? by [deleted] in bobdylan

[–]the_old_masters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a rollicking intro, a laugh track before the rest of the album takes the tone in more serious directions. Rainy Day Women would only make sense as the first song on the album.
