The problem is your chicken-like parent would be so chicken-like it would have to be also called a chicken.

The point is it's now just another country on an equal footing with the rest. Unlike the EU members which have to ask the Commission for permission to scratch their ass.

Yes but 11 construction workers died building the Golden Gate Bridge (which was actually pretty low for such a project at the time). How does that factor in to the story?

To me the dinosaurs answer demonstrates a sharp mind, the kind of person I would want to work with. Can you see why?

by nicky0 5y ago
Chess already has the terminology of light squares and dark squares, so adopting that for the pieces too would add confusion and awkwardness. For example “black’s light squared bishop” would become “light’s light squared bishop”.

The best thing Twitter could do is announce that it was all a big mistake and the are shutting down the company and deleting all tweets and accounts.

I think you just made that up.

The real question is why is a government license needed to operate a business at all?

I agree that accidents of history led us to where we are now. The four parts of the UK are regarded as nations in a loose sense, but not as nation-states.

by nicky0 5y ago
Exactly. The "countries" of the UK are in some ways more like the US states. Each very much real with their own identity, traditions, systems of devolved government etc. Just not countries.

UK isn't really made of countries in any internationally recognised sense. The "four nations" are really are just administrative regions with a trumped up sense of identity. Having different football and rugby teams is a a hi

Team GB is a trademarked brand name for the United Kingdom olympic team. (I think because "GBR" is the established letter code used so GB has some brand recognition factor in an olympic context.) It's controversial since &quo

Perhaps as a language combined with rules to operate upon that language, transforming true statements into other true statements.

So they used the wrong word, and it gave you an opportunity to pen an essay on "authority" vs "force". The actual point stands, however.

Math is both a philosophical enquiry (pure math) and a tool (applied math & statistics). Physics as a science uses math as a modelling and analysis tool.

They review applications because they want to make sure big developers with many apps aren't dividing their apps across lots of different developer accounts so as to get around the total sales cap. (The application form asks questions

We are talking about a flat fee per app delivery here.

Your flat fee model would really suck for free apps.

by nicky0 5y ago
Just FWIW it's a 15% cut nowadays. (Unless you are doing >$1million a year of sales, which anyone quibbling over a $100 annual fee isn't.)

The in-your-face disclaimer at the top is really not needed. The site looks fine.

I think the point was that Chess.com is financially supporting lots of streamers (including titled players).

Do you feel better for having decided who is to blame?

I can't help but feel your comment is a bit too unaware that it's reasonable to assume the reader is familiar with the capitals=shouty convention.

I'm with you in that I refuse to have a back-and-forth conversation via text. And most of the time, I love to have a phone conversation. But, the mental state is not always there for it. I may may be in a low mood, or emotionally exha

by nicky0 6y ago
The problem I have with this is the implication that the only valid reason not to want to talk on the phone is "being busy". Maybe they just don't want to talk to you right now. Take the hint!

This post actually helped me process something that happened 20 years ago. I said to a fellow student at uni "good luck". He snapped back severely "I don't believe in in luck, I believe in God!" and I just stood sla
