Jan-18-26 Chessgames - Sports   WannaBe: For what it's worth, both home teams (Saturday) covered the spread and the total went over. For the next 2 games: HOU 40.5 (Opened 41.5) NE -3.0 ML: -175/+145 LAR -3.5 (Opened -4.5) CHI 49.5 (Opened 51.5) ML: -198/+164      Jan-16-26 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: 12m in. Not impressed      Jan-16-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: Zed's dead. Zed's dead. (if one is to go down the 'Pulp Fiction' path) "That is A tasty burger!!"      Jan-14-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie    WannaBe: This one is from Henry Cho: "I'm changing the caller ID of my wife's phone number to Potential Spam" If you have not seen or heard of Henry, he is worth some of your time on YouTube.      Jan-14-26 Dickson    WannaBe: Apparently, it was a "far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"      Jan-12-26 Fischer vs V Pupols, 1955    WannaBe: I was thinking baseball bat, tire iron, or brass knuckles.      Jan-11-26 Tata Steel Masters (2026)    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      Jan-06-26 Atterdag chessforum    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.      Jan-04-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: This is for you, with some deeper insight on drone productions, Russian, and now with the cut-off of oil from certain S. American country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUB...      Jan-01-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: That is weird, I posted the answer to <TGA> at 7PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern, and now it shows as I posted Jan 1 2026(???????)

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 509 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-15-13    WannaBe: I know between iOS 6 and 7, the way to copy and paste are different, so, yes, it is very possible that Chrome changed. Oct-15-13    Travis Bickle: I'm still using Vista, does that make a difference? Oct-15-13    Travis Bickle: Sorry for all the questions but you probably forgot more than I know about Computer OS's. ; P Oct-15-13    WannaBe: <Travis Bickle> No, Vista or XP or Win7 or Win8 does not make a difference. It's like if you drive a Ford, and if you use Shell, Union 76, or Chevron for gas. Something changed, and it's not your operating system (Ford) so I am trying to figure out if the gas you use changed. Oct-15-13    Travis Bickle: Thanks Doc for the effort you've put into this! Mucho appreciation! Oct-16-13    WannaBe: <Travis Bickle> So, which versio of Chrome are you using? Oct-16-13    Travis Bickle: I looked up the file location for Google Chrome and this is all I could find. Created - ‎ Wednesday, ‎July ‎31, ‎2013, ‏‎12:09:08 AM So it has to be 1 of the latest versions. I couldn't find anything saying it was Google Chrome 23 million or any recognizable version that it was. Oct-16-13    WannaBe: <Travis Bickle> I installed the latest version of Chrome, and I went to YouTube, but I can't reproduce what you experienced. Oct-16-13    Travis Bickle: So I have some kind of glitch. I'll delete & re-download Google Chrome. Thanks <wannabe>! Oct-17-13    WannaBe: Sometimes, the world/life just come around. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9... Oct-18-13    WannaBe: Ugh, ugly game. Oct-19-13    Jim Bartle: UCLA- Stanford this afternoon. It might finally be the Broons' turn. Oct-19-13    WannaBe: <Jim Bartle> Expect a difficult game from Stanford. They are pretty upset after losing at Utah last week... Or were they lookin' ahead too much? Oct-19-13    Jim Bartle: I don't know about today, but when I was a student the team had a terrible habit of losing the game the week before the big USC game to an inferior opponent, including two to Purdue. Stanford up 17-10 in the fourth. Oct-19-13    WannaBe: Almost as bad a game as the one I saw in person back in '90, when I came up to Oakland's Mills College to visit a friend and went to a UCLA-Stanford game. This was before they renovated the stadium (horse-shoe shaped) and the end zone seats left splinters in my rear-end. Oct-19-13    Jim Bartle: Yeah, the stadium was huge, with a track, and wooden benches. I read some of the rich fans who went to the 1985 Super Bowl were not happy with sitting on benches. They managed to completely remake the stadium between one season and the next, starting the night after the last game. Capacity was reduced from 85,000 to 55,000, and the track (site of many important meets) was eliminated. Oct-20-13    WannaBe: Former UW football coach D. James passed away, I remember many good, exciting, heart-breaking games of Huskies vs. Bruins when T. Donahue was the coach for UCLA. Oct-24-13    Thanh Phan: Greetings! and express a sorry to intrude, but wished to ask what you or your wife's favorite song types are? For myself I have dance remix and việt remix or russian music as favorites, I wander between việt, chinese, russian, and english if cornered, I don't have many who listen to their language types, so my alternate songlist is limited, A note, my understanding in Chinese is a bit limited still, I have a tutor since I expressed an interest in their language, and have been studying about half a year, so at least some of their songs I can understand Oct-24-13    WannaBe: <Thanh Phan> Well, as far as the 'wife' question, I don't have one/not married. =) I enjoy old music, classicals (Mozart, Brahm, even Wagner) to Jazz, to Classic Rock (Rollin' Stones, Queen, etc.) Yes, I am Chinese, but after 30+ years in U.S. my Chinese is about as good as my chess games. I definitely am more comfortable speaking/typing in English than any other language. (But I can get by with Chinese, but not very well. =) Oct-24-13    Thanh Phan: <WannaBe> Express both my embarrassment and lack of thought towards what I perceived as your family status, About the <classicals (Mozart, Brahm, even Wagner)> nice selection ^.^ also many thanks for your response, I think 'losing' a language ability is more on your interactions instead of where you moved to, even hearing constant bickering in a language, would help you retain a language, although I don't recommend seeking bickering people, language notwithstanding Oct-24-13    WannaBe: <Thanh Phan> Oh, no worries. =) Oct-26-13    JimNorCal: Thanks for stopping by at the coffee shop, have a great SoCal visit next week. See you next time. Oct-30-13    chessmoron: Ha! Lakers beat the overrated Clippers. Oct-30-13    NakoSonorense: WannaBe seems to hate on the Lakers, but I don't think he's revealed which team he supports. Maybe he just doesn't like Kobe? Oct-30-13    WannaBe: <NakoSonorense> I am not a Kobe Fan, die-heart Lakers fan. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 750) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 509 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing>
