What’s the context here?

I’m so horrible at OTB. It feels super weird trying to play it when I’m just used to the top down simple view online. I need to make it to the weekly casual chess night over here to get more practice.

I agree with your take. Shitty headline. When I think of “branding” , I think of hot iron burnt into flesh.

Hey that’s great news. Love to see this!

I honestly add a touch of brown sugar and I guess I’ve been doing it wrong according to these comments.

I heard he was too busy watching television news coverage to be bothered with all that.

Sorry for your troubles. It seems like having an intimate relationship with a partner should probably be lower on your list. Hope you’re able to work towards a positive direction with your life in general…

I highly agree with this statement lol

When I took acid as a teenager in the 90s, I was tripping balls and realized that entertainment or anything that occupies that mind that we enjoy, in essence makes time seemingly go by faster. Therefor, the more you entertain your brain, the quicker you approach your demise. It really groundbreaking for me at the time. I swore I might just stare at a clock for the rest of my days just to make time seemingly like it passes slower to savor my mortality lol

Oh wow thanks for the extensive list! I’ve seen about half of the ones in your list and will check out the link. I also recently watched The Witch by Eggers. That was a creepy good one.

Good idea! Cross posted!

Ohhhh good one. I remember always liking this one back when it came out and I did a rewatch a few years ago. Still held up!

Do you have a favorite opening yet?

So sorry for your loss 😞

Seeing the clown toy come alive and trying to attack that kid absolutely traumatized me.

I’m gonna have to give this another view. It was traumatizing to see as a child and I haven’t revisited it since.

Oh ok. No but I do follow you as I am sure there are plenty of calls being intercepted by our govt agencies. I guess I am trying to wrap my head around who would use AI voice technology for that purpose? Enemies within the country of the foreign leaders that hack into their specific phone lines?

What is considered a “known compromised line”?

Yeah that’s something another commenter mentioned. Thanks for the math. I think it’s time to say goodbye to this old thing…

Maybe I’ll try this on my big fridge next. It’s getting close to 20 years old itself but functions fine.

Yeah that’s kinda what I am doing. If I’m using this energy monitor thing right, the fridge is on Day 9 and has used 20.32 kWhs
