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 ...

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

WannaBe: <OCF> Not to mention when TV stations switch red (dem) and blue (rep) to what we know today... On a similar note, in Asia, if the stock shows red, it mean up, green, means down. Go fig.

  WannaBe: <hangingenprise> Same principle in basketball, or hockey, or anything, keep running it until they can stop it. =)

Raiders are truly sad, don't know how they were able to beat the Steelers last week.

  WannaBe: C. Palmer have played 15 games for the Traiders, and his record? 5-10.

Need I to remind you how/what draft picks them Traiders gave up for Palmer??

  WannaBe: Office funnies:

Having grown up in U.S., I always walk around the office on the right-hand side, however we have a lot of people within our office that did not grow up in U.S.

So they tend to walk on the left-hand side of the office, I keep on running into them, sometimes literally. =)

  WannaBe: Exciting endings to Seattle/Detroit and Carolina/Chicago games. The Cowgirls look horrible right now.

But still not as ugly as the Traiders/KC game... The announcers keep on saying, with a little luck, Traiders can be tied for AFC West come tomorrow!

  WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> Thanks, here, white went off the book by playing 7. g4, [Where 7. Be3 is the standard, followed by 7. Be2]

I've not really had the opportunity/time to see why 7. g4 is bad, but since I played it, it's bad.
