Well, it's 13 years ago. But, more importantly, that is the date when Chess.com forum named the opening after Lenny Bongcloud (see my edit). I'm asking just because I'm interested in the origins, and an earlier reference woul

I've seen papers from several scientists who believe that SARS-CoV-2 had laboratory origins. You can find them on Google Scholar or similar search engines, but you cannot post them to HN or Twitter because they get instantly censored.

Maybe try vim golf for fun. I would recommend using vim in the console without the mouse because your editor will always give you a way out of learning. Every time you get stuck or feel inefficient, do a web search and learn one thing. Lear
