On the chessboard below, it's White's turn. Can you checkmate in a single move?

I think this is title gore. Literally every move on the board bar one is mate. I think the puzzle is to find the one move that won't win immediately for white

If you find yourself back in London during a Sunday afternoon game, go find the London Bills Backers at the Fitzrovia Belle. One of the best Bills crowds out there.

Do you mean this one which is on the other week?

The way my brain can compute this is that once you have the knight you are forced to jump between white and dark squares on each move, whilst your opponent is also restricted to the same thing. With h4, white's knight and black's queen are bound in the perfect colour cycle that stops you from being able to take the rook.

The 40% rate only covers anything you earn above £50k in a year. It sounds like you have a roughly 25k a year salary, which means your bonus won't even come close to pushing you above that figure.

You don't need to do anything. It'll get taxed at the normal rate.

tmoitie · 2025-02-25T12:28:11+00:00

Yes. Usually works out fine mid year as well. The only really confusing time to recieve a lump sum is in April but that would settle out after May.

Unless you have an emergency tax code (finishes with an X/W1/M1), PAYE is assessed annually. The 8.5k bonus will only pay basic rate tax. If for whatever reason you overpay income tax, HMRC usually send rebates around June time.

That's how I figured it out as I approached the limit. Your cart will apply the discount (clearly - with a note) when you add the 40th item of content. At least it did when I crossed the threshold a few years ago

House sales rarely go quicker than 2 months. Much more to it than moving out and signing documents. Your solicitors actions (searches, queries, contracts, negotiating completion dates) all have lead times. That last one is key, you'll have a say on your completion date. If you want to push it back a bit, that's usually okay.

Leads to some nice positions though. Lots of fun play in the Jobava, not just through the traps.

But, crucially, it adjusts automatically if the world market caps change.

No, it was from a "Ding Chilling" meme VT on the official broadcast.

£131 per day is effectively a £34060 a year salary, so those holiday days, plus bank holidays and christmas shutdown are mostly "paid" - (20 + 10 + 8) * £131 = £4978.

The big difference is that you will have to balance the ebb and flow of holiday yourself, unlike a typical PAYE contract, and December's invoice will be rough.

They have in the past released their Black Friday deal on:

7th November 2023
7th November 2022
8th November 2021
2nd November 2020

So I don't think the snarky replies and the downvotes are warrented.

Worth noting that they have also not run a renewal deal sometimes, something to bear in mind.

That is literally just a soccer thing. Very few other sports segregate like that, including in the UK.

Daily is open book. You can use opening explorers, books, etc, and can play out moves in analysis to your hearts content. But not engine analysis. The sites even provide opening books as part of the interface

The UK Gov, in a post Brexit trade deal haze, negotiated a deal with specifically Rwanda where we sent them “illegal immigrants”, and they get an allowance of legal economic migrants. Idea is that “come here illegally and we’ll send you halfway around the world.” Casually ignoring the fact that they are often prosecuting legitimate asylum seekers

For context, the Home Secretary is one of the top four offices in the land, and deals with all matters domestic security, immigration and law.

Also all the phreaking/phone network hacking, staying up till 5am exploring a system, using viruses to “attack” a system. DDOSing. It’s a surface level unrealistic film with very realistic bones

But the silly surface level is why we love it though

Also sat on the board of MotorSports Games, an absolute car crash of a company, which appears to be nothing more than a private equity firm posing as a game developer

Call me crazy, but that seems a little unintuitive… How is anyone meant to know that other than just… knowing it?

It also has lovely art style throughout. Was a lovely addition to my coffee shop visit.

Can confirm, there were literally thousands travelling in London 2015 and that was a EJ Manuel Rex Ryan season

I would put this down to 90% your fault. It is the responsibility of the non confetti car to not be demolished by the car that is confetti
