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 paste it into your chess app. ___________ So that about wraps it up for this week.

It's in Yakima, because we wanted to make it a central location to maximize the opportunity for everyone. And in May, a better chance of not getting rained on, compared to if it was on the wet side.

I'm confused as to which side is white and which is black in StarbWars chess
Posted by: votermom pimping NEW Moron-authored books! at February 16, 2019 05:47 PM (BJlbN) Obviously, Darth Vader's side is black. But I really dislike non-functional chess sets where you can't tell what piece is what. This is the first one I've seen where you can't even tell which color is which, either. If you don't know Star Wars then you don't know who the good guys (white) and the bad guys (black) are in this set. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at February 16, 2019 05:54 PM (wHMIo) 102

Greetings:
Long before my deportation to the San Francisco Bay area, I was the beneficiary of six years of grammar school classical piano lessons which shaped my musical preference for longer-form instrumental music. Luckily, there's a classical music radio station, KDFC, in the area that I listen to a good bit of. It is a station of its time and place. Around midday, the woman announcer takes requests from her audience members. After hearing their sly progressive innuendos and insertions for many years, I concluded that I had earned myself a bit of fun. So, off to their website I go wherein I located the "make a request" form wherein I type my request, to wit: "My masculinity is in need of a giddy-up. So please cut the theme from "The Magnificent Seven" out of your musical corral and let it go for a good long gallop." ( N.B. This took a substantial bit of effort because I don't keystroke well and it's even worse when I'm a-giggling.) So, a couple of days later I get back home from a bit of exercise just in time to hear my request being announced. But as we probably all know, Progressives are all the time progressiving, so the "My masculinity is in need of a giddy-up" part of my request ended up on the microphone room floor probably due to time constraints or maybe ideological ones or maybe both. Who really knows ??? Posted by: 11B40 at February 16, 2019 06:03 PM (evgyj) 132

Wait, what???? When did all this happen?
Posted by: Emperor Country Boy at February 16, 2019 06:43 PM Ace brought it up yesterday. See his comments in the threads from 3:12 PM and 5:54 PM posts. What's worrisome is that Ace seemed pretty discouraged about it. Posted by: Hands at February 16, 2019 06:48 PM (786Ro) 278
someone needs to simply let everyone know how much the boss needs. surely there are enough morons to float this here blog through subscriptions.
doing so would send everyone a good message. then boycott everyone that boycotted him. Posted by: yankeefifth ----------------------------------------------- Exactly.

In all seriousness, I'm probably going to figure out how to sell some old stuff I need to get rid of anyway and donate any cash it brings in to ace.
There were some great suggestions on the threads. I'm very partial to a completely separate Woke site that says all the right things and gets all kinds of The Right Thoughts advertisers to bring in cash to keep the HQ running. I think ace would have a blast, too. We'd have to play it straight as commenters and not give the slightest hint that we were doing it for any reasons other than our true beliefs in The Cause, though.

Ace was expressing his right to free speech on a private blog, his many readers commented using their free speech rights. and some Commie/Prog/Lefties have now made it their mission to get AoS closed down. They pushed Google (?) and they took away advertising revenue. I know Ace is taking a well-deserved weekend off, but I hope he is able to get involved with the Amazon referral program. It would be a steady source of revenue, assuming us Morons go to AoS first before clicking through to Amazon and buying stuff. Alternatively, someone could win PowerBall and donate a couple of million to Ace. Honestly, you wouldn't miss it. Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg at February 16, 2019 06:50 PM (sy5kK) 284

Posted by: AltonJackson at February 16, 2019 07:14 PM (KCxzN) Guessing that's the case. Also n.b. https://www.amazon.com/?tag=i-made-this-up works just fine too and gives no indication that nobody gets an affiliate buck for it. Posted by: hogmartin at February 16, 2019 07:17 PM (t+qrx) 351

CNN's current coverage of the Smollett reveal leaves out "Maga Country". But the attack was sold not just as a racial/homophobic attack, but as a smear on Trump supporters.
So too the initial reporting on the kids in DC with the MAGA hats. Sensing a pattern here. Posted by: Ignoramus at February 16, 2019 07:20 PM (1UZdv) 362

Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar at February 16, 2019 07:18 PM (f3oO4) Yes, but change the tag to something else and see what happens. It doesn't say anywhere on the page that anyone's getting an affiliate fee whether you include a tag, don't include one, or just make one up. By itself, the tag doesn't show that there's payment on the other side like AltonJackson said. Posted by: hogmartin at February 16, 2019 07:21 PM (t+qrx) 363
Don't know if one can ever know who is behind the attack/ complaints. Rush as well as lots of conservatives have had this go on, the short of Rush's that he uncovered its a miniscule few who create a big footprint of complaints so it looks like a big organization. Advertisers run very fast away afraid of boycotts and bad press.

Hi Hogmartin,
Things are same old. Work and then to mom's to help with her care. Husband is better and back to work. (Not sure if I mentioned about that to you in email- but one of the reasons 'my life is insanity'). I'm here a lot, but usually just lurking. (Can't comment from work). Lately I've been here when i get up for work at abt 1/4 to dark. Skip and I exchange breakfast ideas. On weekends when I'm here at mom's, I am often up all nite if she is restless, i try to keep up with the ONT. You all comment so fast! My fingers on my phone are too slow. I saw that you got to the NoVaMoMe. So cool! Posted by: My life is insanity at February 16, 2019 08:37 PM (Z/jzm) 409

I seem to recall that you mentioned your husband, but now that I look at the email archives, I can't seem to find it. Maybe you mentioned it here on the site?
I hope you'll be able to come to one of the MoMes. We've done a few out here in southeast Michigan, but that would be a bit of a drive for you. I'll be sure to keep you on the list though - we'd love it if you could come out or even organize one over where you are. There are quite a few commenters in the area.

One morning someone from my area mentioned that we should meet at Miller park this summer (brewer's stadium recently was renamed- cant remember right now to what). It could be a fun venue. He mentioned using the restaurant inside, but a tailgate event could be some very
cheese-head-y fun! Husband was in a car accident last summer, caused by a seizure, caused by a -get this- baseball sized brain tumor (that was previously unknown!). Non-cancerous. Surgery, lots of therapy appts, mandatory no driving for 3 months (he's a truck driver) so no working either. That was.....insane. He's fully recovered and driving again. Yay! I'm still hoping to make a trip to grand rapids to visit friends, if i do i will shoot you an email. And if a mome happens here, you should come!

Curious setup. The fighterpawns are aligned almost like sittuyin (Burmese chess), but backwards (the pawns on their owner's right should be the forward ones). But the pieces are in their Western positions (in sittuyin, you arrange them any way you like behind your pawns). Bottom line, it's a legally reachable position (modulo the mirroring) in either game, but only by players who aren't trying too hard to win.
And agree that the dark side's knights and rooks are too hard to tell apart. Perhaps the rooks should have been capital ships (the Millennium Falcon v. a Star Destroyer or Death Star.) Posted by: silverpie at February 17, 2019 10:44 PM (x7sfC) Processing 0.05, elapsed 0.0537 seconds. |
