I hate chess - well, that ain't fair. I hate chess with those that play it - because I don't play "conventionally". But I like puzzles like this.
The goal of the exercise is always, unless I miss the mark, to put the King in check, so that you can assume all the moves and enter a cause and response kinda' thing. Am I right ? If I am - first move is to move that pawn to F4 ? If I read this shit correct ?

My poor Russian sage got flattened last Saturday by 70 mph straight wind storm. I assume it will manage to straighten eventually. A friend of mine had two huge pine trees snap off and land on his house. So a little stand of squashed Russian save and a broken sunflower plant was very, very small potatoes. We lost power for about eighteen hours. Others are still not back on line.

I don't know if there will be any information source I trust. It'd be interesting to know if having had the covid vaccine makes one sicker with the Delta strain then unvaccinated folks get from the virus. That was the argument from the anti-vax doctor talk. That these 'GMO' vaccines when studied in lab animals sometimes cause overblown immune responses that are more damaging than the virus when a new but similar strain shows up. A nurse told me that that effect is very rare, but I don't know that I trust her information sources.

Well, the CDC numbers show that more people have died from the vaccines than from the disease for two months running.
Posted by: artemis at July 17, 2021 05:40 PM (AwPyG) That's nonsense too. June 2021: 726 deaths claimed. July 2021: 26 deaths claimed. And these are not investigated. they are simply reported, so no confirmation or proof. It's amazing that many people around here poo-poohed the data when it showed Wuhan flu as being dangerous, but accept the same data-gathering idiots in government as 100% correct when it proves their point.

The UK awfulness reminds you of Brexit, where the bad guys stymied the usual ability to call a snap election, that had been in place for hundreds of years.

Just because everyone has the exact same variable in common when they die soon after receiving the shot doesn't mean they all have the same variable in common soon after receiving the shot. That's Science. There's nothing to be afraid of, and these people who are carrying backpacks full of unrefrigerated vaccines (that have to be kept near and WAY below zero) door to door to inject non-believers have your best interests in mind.

This Lions joint UK team goes back a way, right? In the book on the Sicily invasion I just finished, one of the British soldiers was a famous rugby player, I think. There was also a famous cricket player, who didn't survive the campaign. Thought I remember the Lions thing in connection with the rugby guy.

Posted by: OregonMuse -------------- making me work for this... Ok, then rook to A8 sets up mate in 1 move, black has to move Queen to G7 to counter (or King to H6 maybe? I think that is worse) White moves Rook from B4 to B7, which pins the Queen. Black can't take the Rook with the Queen because then White Queen to H8 is mate. There are a number of moves left, but I think it is over, white can counter and get that Queen on H8 for mate. Might have to take the black queen with the rook first.

And correct me if wrong, but I thought PA already had a very significant boost in GOP registration, following 2016 (completely logical, in context, which even though that registration number is a "hard" number, not really subject to tampering, just adds to the picture).

He was jailed for beating up a superior officer who had killed his pet dog while he was away on a mission. He may have been recruited by Stirling out of jail, it's unclear, but it adds to Dirty Dozen legend. His early thing in Libya was to put .50s on jeeps and raid Nazi airfields.

Don't know about Florida, but in California, cities have their own law enforcement and it is *not* under the domain of the county Sheriffs (unless the city contracted the Sheriff's Department to provide services).
For example, LA County Sheriff's: LASD deputies provided law enforcement services to over three million residents in an area of 3,171 square miles (8,210 km2) of the 4,083 square miles on the county, both in the unincorporated county land and within the 42 contract cities. Whereas LAPD is supervised by a Police Commission: The Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners, also known as the Police Commission, is a five-member body that oversees the LAPD. The board is responsible for setting policies for the department and overseeing the LAPD's overall management and operations. The Chief of Police reports to the board, but the rest of the department reports to the chief. Los Angeles Police Commission: The board is made up of five members who are appointed by the mayor and confirmed by the City Council. Each member serves a five-year term with a maximum of two terms.
