It is also used in retirement simulation, e.g. how much saving you already have, male/female life expectancy, expected returning and amount withdrawn each year. Also some ...      Jan-20-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: Re: Star Trek Academy <WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed> So, I did not finish episode one, it's still in my queue, but I did manage to read some of the reviews... And the reviews have not been kind. Some even compared episodes 1 and 2 (released the same day) to the very much ...      Jan-20-26 Hort vs de Firmian, 1986   WannaBe: <Breunor> Good question, I ran this game through the computer game analysis and: 31...Kg6 32.Bxa7 Bc4 33.Nd5 Nc6 34.Bc5 Ne5 35.Ke3 Bf1 36.Bd4 ⩱ +0.87 (41 ply) Possibly white was low on time and don't want to risk the chance to reaching move 40      Jan-19-26 R Toran vs M Valls Tona, 1948    WannaBe: Well, if you play f4, there is mate in 250...      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead.

It has so much to say about modern life!

Jan-05-11    kudubux: Thanks <WannaBe>! Jan-05-11    crawfb5: best historian: <jessicafischerqueen> -- how can I say no to a woman with a camera? Jan-05-11    jessicafischerqueen: <OFFICIAL VOTE> Best avatar <Travis Bickle> Best historian <crawfb5> Er... I'd really like to know who has been nominating "everyone else" in various categories, since IT'S A SOCK PUPPET ACCOUNT that doesn't actually "do" anything. How do I know? It's one of my sockpuppets. Really it is. <Technical Draw> as well, since I'm at it.

Jan-06-11    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Boratco: Jessicathequeen had 5 votes, I counted it, but she was not nominated for voting. All ballots were spoiled, thus only once and switching are the official winners, each had 4 votes.> <jfq> did indeed get 5 votes, but one of those was <hms123>, who had previously voted for <Once>; so it's not totally clear whether that vote should be counted fully or as a split vote. Anyway, I got 5 votes too. ;-) Best avatar: <technical draw>'s magical smiling baby avatar (like <TD> said, stuff a mouse up his nose and see a smile magically appear on his little face!) Best historian: <malthrope> (he has a history of setting history right by counting more accurately than other people) Jan-06-11    Once: Best avatar - patriot.
