If you can find it... somehow... the last edition of Chessmaster they made (“Grandmaster”, I think) with commentary and learning by Josh Waitzkin makes for a spectacular way to learn chess. You really feel like he’s right there alongside you teaching you, and you feel genuine pride when you manage to pass his…

It may sound cynical, but smart companies donate all over the political map.

Every safety regulation is written in blood.

This is literally my #1 complaint about the internet. It has reduced society’s ability to filter out harmful memes.

I have to disagree with the family though. Those people who helped get him onto the island should absolutely be prosecuted. This law exists for a reason, they broke it for money, and people should be discouraged from breaking the island’s quarantine for a payout.

It was beautiful to see. Hopefully it will remain beautiful if random assholes will stop defacing the bamboo.

Ah, I understand. Sorry for the confusion.

Did you... respond to the wrong person? My comment said I could understand a desire for privacy on the part of streamers.

Agreed. It’s difficult to say. Luckily, I don’t have to care either way. :)

If I ever started twitch streaming, I would simultaneously try to hide every possible detail about my real life, because people are horrible.

Singular only denotes that something is remarkable or unusual. It doesn’t contain a value judgement as to whether something is, as you say, worthy of examination. Maybe my calibration is different, but her life seems pretty unusual to me.

Just out of curiosity, does this still apply when the amount of votes remaining cannot possibly result in your victory, even if they were 100% in your favor?

 neat! I wrote this exact program in about a half a day for an acquaintance of mine with an interest in searching for key cipher encrypted messages in the writings and music of Edward Elgar.

Oh, I agree. People just seem very quick to call for murder charges specifically, when such charges wouldn’t be warranted.

Getting AoS wasn’t that bad. You can do step 1 with normal gambit mobs, and 25 headshots in crucible took me about 45 minutes, and I suck. Just focus on headshots over winning.

I remember this. It was horrific. All of us, black, white and otherwise, have reason to fear the aggressive training of our police force. It’s an issue on which we should all be able to unite.

I mean... legally speaking, he probably shouldn’t be charged with murder or even attempted murder. But there’s plenty more you can charge him with that will punish him just as effectively.

The thing I generally liked about Bernie was, he seemed like the type who had no patience for dissembling or sophistry, and would instead tell you what he actually thought about something, rather than saying whatever would poll well. The first time I watched an interview with him I thought “I like how he doesn’t seem…

That’s one way to look at a concession, but another is that, when it’s statistically unlikely that the remaining ballots will throw the race in your favor, it’s a waste of time and taxpayer money to hang on to the bitter end, and makes you look like a petty sore loser besides. Once in a while, it will later come to…

You’re basically both right. Katsuobushi is the name of the flakes, but the flakes are almost always from dried bonito.
