Um no. Losing is also breaking. Breaking doesn’t have a moral component, it is just losing. The world champion isn’t morally better than everyone, he just wins against challengers.

How would point ratio help if every game is a draw? Maybe if it was a round robin tournament that would help top two players competing for wins against less highly rated people and then drawing against each other. Like Liverpool and Man Cit

Eh. That’s kinda like “don’t put all your money in dollars” If the US Dollar goes to zero or the only rendering engine bit rots, other things are happening such that I won’t be too concerned about not having money or not being able to brows

I saw a few ads towards the beginning of the pandemic for Dominoes doing delivery from local non-Dominoes restaurants... what happened with that? Did it not work out or are they still doing it?

Yeah my mortgage company sent me a letter saying to opt out of affiliate marketing Emails or snail mail I have to send them a letter requesting it. This was 4 months after they bought my mortgage so the most the letter woulda done is stop

I’m not positive I would have been scalded if I didn’t do that, but I do know that just turning on the cold line would yield at least uncomfortably hot water.

It was next to the hot water line and not insulated (enough) and it had pretty much just been sitting there all night.

As the first dorm on the loop my freshman year, I’d get back from crew practice, go into the bathroom, turn on all three showers, and flush the three toilets about three times each to flush all of the hot water out of the cold water line so

Just went back and did a lesson. They also have a “translate this sentence” but you are selecting from a word bank and there’s only one verb (declined one way) in the bank… That is the kind of thing I’m talking about. Just not challenging a

duolingo (back when I used it years ago) also made it pretty difficult to even get questions wrong. They seemed to shy away from questions where I had to type in the answer (ie come up with the translation out of my own head) when I was out

I set it up 9 years ago and OPML import was not made obvious to me. Or possibly: I think I was using NetNewsWire on desktop or something when I set it up, so maybe it was obvious but I wanted read-syncing between different platforms.

Huh. I use Feedly but access it through Reeder and don’t seem to have many troubles. Every once in a while I think of unsubscribing to a feed and it is a bit of an adventure, but that is my only complaint.

Eh. I’ve learned a few card tricks and the mechanic often makes me appreciate the trick more… differently, but more. This would fall into “cheating” for me.
