  • Hey, every single planet with life that we know of has oxygen in the atmosphere!

    Sample size of one though.

  • Controversial Physicist Faces Mounting Accusations of Scientific Misconduct
  • If this is the case it would be an… interesting thought process. You can’t sit there and claim you’ve discovered something absolutely ground breaking and game changing in the field and then think that no one is going to try and replicate that.

  • Analysis | Note to Florida and DeSantis: Enslaved Africans were already skilled
  • Well maybe if they had picked themselves up by the bootstraps, saved more of their income, stopped buying chai lattes and avocado toast every day for lunch, and had daddy give them a million dollars worked really hard to earn their cash, they could have bought their freedom.

  • Opinion: We last raised the US federal minimum wage 14 years ago. This is unacceptable | Rev William J Barber and Rev A Kazimir Brown
  • Under federal law, you can work 2 full time jobs, 80 hours a week, and still not make $120/day ($120 = 8 hrs x $15/hr). $15/hr isn't insane, it's not even bare minimum anymore.

  • Georgia prosecutors prepare racketeering charges in Trump inquiry
  • All of them have one, none of them would go for it because they don’t think he did anything wrong

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces amendment directing Biden to withdraw from Nato
  • Ever since Trump got elected (and probably before that too, I just don’t know when) conservative people in general, not just politicians, but your everyday Americans, have been more comfortable showing themselves to be racist, anti-science, ignorant morons. Which makes me sad.

  • Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day?
  • As an iPhone owner, I’m not sold on dropping 280 or whatever on a watch. Is it really that useful to people?

  • Ron DeSantis under pressure as Florida malaria cases spread
  • The worst part about this is that you could just tell them they have COVID and they’ll take their hydroxychloroquine for it

    What Fast Food do you love?
  • Go ahead and flame me if you want, but I do like me my taco bell. Chipotle and Moes are obviously better but they’re so damn expensive now. I’m sure when my GI tract shits the bed that opinion will change though.

  • Let's talk about defenses to the King's Gambit

    If you play 1... e5, you've run into the King's Gambit at some point. And if you're anything like me, the positions make absolutely no sense once you get about 5 moves in. So let's talk about it. What defense do you play against the King's Gambit? What are the main ideas for black? How do you survive when White is throwing everything they have at you? What resources have you used to learn more about the black side of this opening?

    Where do you do your puzzles?

    I guess the three biggest websites for puzzles are chess.com, lichess, and chesstempo. Which do you prefer? For me overall, it's chesstempo \> lichess \> chess.com, though I would say chess.com's puzzle quality is a little better than lichess. Chesstempo lets me do an unlimited number of high-quality puzzles, Lichess lets me do an unlimited number of questionable quality puzzles, and chess.com limits me to 5 puzzles a day. My biggest issue with Lichess is that the puzzles are taken from random people's games, so I'll get some absolutely ridiculous position that you could never reach if you weren't trying to reach it, and then the answer will be a quiet move that doesn't seem to do anything but if the opponent doesn't find the only defending move, it's mate in 13.
