And isn't he, well, dead?
 
@Synobun How about let her take Lyft? Or the two of you take Lyft?
 
I really is depressing reading through old threads that get linked below. So many fond memories, now gone and uncontactable.
 
I've been having thoughts on returning to the Democratic Party.

Politics is so polarised these days, especially in the US, that I think everyone should be politically engaged.
 
I’m waiting for Uber Eats in Germany to unionize so the company pulls out.

Byline? Deutschland Uber Eatsless!
 
I wonder if Hans being an insufferable douche is why he raises suspicion or merely a byproduct of being an actual cheater.

That is this story? Someone using anal beads to do the impossible?

Last week, world chess champion Magnus Carlsen, withdrew from a major tournament with a $350,000 prize money after his unexpected defeat by underdog Hans Niemann.​
Chess fans speculated that anal beads could transmit messages from an accomplice who was watching the game being broadcast live online and consult an AI to transmit the perfect move.​
However, it’s unclear if Niemann could be beating the tournament’s anti-cheating precautions, which include a 15-minute delay in the broadcast of moves and radio-frequency identification checks.​
 
This is what it has come to :D
On the positive side, if you are so in synch with those muscles, it should count for something imo.

Fwiw, Hans' chess analysis skills are apparently (for this level) non-existent, and he claims he is just way too instinctive. I am not a GM, and for a layman that does sound a bit suspicious.

You would think he would have been satisfied with the $600 million in bearer bonds in the company vault.

Bearer bonds, now that’s something you don’t see anymore.
 
If you are wondering what the moves were in the game, Hans is playing black and this is a recreation of it - with some analysis:


After the exchange massacre mid-game, there were a couple (or three) moves by Hans with (apparent) calculation for variations for up to 4 moves ahead. It has become a bit of an issue why he didn't just give the analysis of all those in his interviews. Those moves are similar in that they start by giving up a piece but ultimately factor in that in 3-4 moves they will take back at least the same value and improve the positioning, which in the end led to far better pawns for black.
 
I bought some kind of veggie mince as a meat replacement for in spaghetti. It looks... not great, and I'm suspicious of it being shelf stable. :lol:
 
Friends don't have to be in daily contact to feel friendship. If she thinks of you as a close friend, that's a good thing, isn't it? After all, it doesn't sound like she's trying to take advantage or ask you to help move a body or whatever...
