Hope to see you all next week! ___________ Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and past it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week. Chess thread tips, suggestions, bribes, rumors, threats, and insults may be sent to my yahoo address: OregonMuse little-a-in-a-circle yahoo dott com.

I t is well known that of the Great Apes that the lowland Gorillas are both highly skilled at camping and love the freedom of the open road. Most prefer the the simple trailer hitch style camper eschewing the complexity of RVs (Recreational Vehicles) commonly favored by chimpanzees.

Four kids showed up. I tested them out by playing each of them a game. Unfortunately, they weren't very good, and I knew we had zero chance if we played any other schools.
So the club, for its brief existence, was entirely nothing but me giving "blindfold exhibitions" agains the other four members. I would play all four at once while blindfolded, four separate games.
I'm actually not that great at blindfold, but the other players were all so bad that it was the only way to make the games a fair fight. I made a zillion embarrassing blunders, but they made even more blunders, so I'd end up winning anyway -- at last those times where we could even get to the end of the games during the lunch period.

The great apes kind of creep me out because they're so similar to humans, but off.
A couple I knew got a pair of squirrel monkeys, because squirrel monkeys really are cute by any standards. They built the monkeys a large enclosure outside. Then they came into possession of rabbit, so they put the rabbit in with the sweet little monkeys.
The male monkey fucked it to death. The female monkey held the rabbit down for the male.
Sooooo, that's all needed to know about owning monkeys.

The slightest examination reveals it to be poorly written in the extreme, with prurience inserted for prurience sake. The broken English is laughable, text book attempt to appear credible. The few known facts are classic building block attempts at credibility building too.
Simply put the whole thing is totally embarrassing and hundreds of thousands of dollars were supposedly charged for its production. If I had paid for it and received that work product I would have demanded a refund immediately.
Anyone who discusses the dossier with any level of seriousness is ridiculous, right? Yet it's still happening.

========
I wouldn't be too sure. I think sometimes the "Asiatic look" develops as a spontaneous mutation in Caucasians. Consider: Peter Lorre (who played an Asian), Christopher Walken, Charles Bronson, and especially former Congressman Jason Chaffetz. In any case, how did Asians arise in the first place? I think it may have followed that path.

YThis brings up the interesting issue of endogamy vs. exogamy.
Byt "the second model," do you mean the tall blonde one?
The question is, are you more attracted to her because she's "in your gene pool," or because she's specifically NOT in your gene pool.
"Endogamy" means "being attracted to women who look like your ethnicity," while "exogame" menas "being attracted to women from a different ethnicity."
The anthrolopogists will tell you that the very existence of different ethnicities and races means that most men MUST be more attracted to women who look like then men themselves, elsewise different ethnic types would not have arisen in the first place.
But a competing theory says that mena re attracted to "exotic" women because men seek "novelty" in sex partners.
So let's take a poll
The Endogamy vs. Exogamy Poll
generally speaking, all other aspects being equal, are you more attracted to
1. People of your own ethnicity or who look like yourself
2. People of different ethnicities -- the more different from me, the better
3. Honestly, if it moves, I want to stick my dick in it. Ethnicity never plays a role at all. I luvs wimmins!

Discover magazine mentioned this in an article back in the 1980s. They were talking about standards of beauty between the races. The author got to talking about women with some Fore dude (men are the same everywhere, they like talking about women). The Fore dude was happy with Fore-ettes and didn't understand what white guys saw in albinoes with floppy hair and 'misshapen breasts'.

I guess "racist" is the term when one realizes that they think certain black women are stunningly gorgeous but it's because they pretty much look like dark skinned white women.
Halle Berry is the only example I can think of off-hand, but she's mostly "meh" to me. An easy nationally-known name, though. Which makes my point, I guess.

Another way of parsing it would be, maybe all people have a sense of aesthetics and that this may not be related to their own ethnicity as such.
As for me, I think Nordic women objectively look the best, so I'd go with the second one. But I'm not Nordic, and I don't think that plays into my aesthetic sense. Same as if I were comparing two products and tried to figure out which gave me the best value for money. It would be a totally objective decision and would have nothing to do with my personal attributes.

They are doing the black dressing thing. And I saw a headline asking people to do so at home too. What? That makes even less sense than you all doing it.
I wonder if the actors have learned anything, or if they will be doing their Anti-Trump speeches? How will that compete with the anti-harrassment speeches? Man, if I was in Hollywood, I'd bail on the award shows. Ya gotta figure some people are sick of it there too. No fun anywhere anymore.
I almost expect someone to have a meltdown on stage...especially bcz they do a lot of drinking at the Globes.

harness static electricity, it would reduce my electric bill yugely.
Just a suggestion.
You need a humidifier big enough to run at least all night without re-filling. Amazing how much water needs to be pumped into the air to make it comfortable. I have 2 running here and it's barely enough. I hate that static.

"endogamy vs exogamy" thing reminds me of a question about sexual
orientation for those who think it's genetic. Now, I don't think that is
genetic, it's more due to early experiences and relationships. But
let's say it was genetic, for the sake of argument. Does the mechanism
work like: "attraction to the opposite sex/attraction to the same sex",
so heteros would have the former gene, homos the latter? Or would it
work like "attraction to women/attraction to men", so hetero men and
lesbians would have the former gene and hetero women and gays the
latter?Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at January 06, 2018 05:59 PMSounds like a crock of Crocs to me.;-)

This isn't the pet thread, but one of the funniest things I ever saw in my life was when my cats Leo and Kira (who were brother and sister) walked towards each other across the carpet. When their noses were about 1/2" apart, I saw a bright blue spark and heard a loud SNAP. They each took off running in opposite directions.

YThis brings up the interesting issue of endogamy vs. exogamy.
Byt "the second model," do you mean the tall blonde one?
The question is, are you more attracted to her because she's "in your gene pool," or because she's specifically NOT in your gene pool.
"Endogamy" means "being attracted to women who look like your ethnicity," while "exogame" menas "being attracted to women from a different ethnicity."
The anthrolopogists will tell you that the very existence of different ethnicities and races means that most men MUST be more attracted to women who look like then men themselves, elsewise different ethnic types would not have arisen in the first place.
But a competing theory says that mena re attracted to "exotic" women because men seek "novelty" in sex partners.
So let's take a poll
The Endogamy vs. Exogamy Poll
generally speaking, all other aspects being equal, are you more attracted to
1. People of your own ethnicity or who look like yourself
2. People of different ethnicities -- the more different from me, the better
3. Honestly, if it moves, I want to stick my dick in it. Ethnicity never plays a role at all. I luvs wimmins!

This is not "well-known" to Hispanic me. I think a LOT of men of many ethnicities like that type, but I've never heard that "Hispanic" men are especially so inclined.
