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 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: So, again, the worker expressed and exercised the 1st amendment right(s), whether suspension is warrented or not is up to company/union policy. Not the administration, because this will be 0-9 in the Supreme Court. Another individual (who happens to be the president) also exercised ...      Jan-14-26 Dickens   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-14-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: Well, the Wizard of Oz is playing at Las Vegas Sphere...      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 WannaBe chessforum   WannaBe: And let's not even get into trombone with triggers...      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.

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 600 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-12-16    WannaBe: 1,000,001 use of a Chinese back-scratcher. Long feeding spoon. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnnnext/da... Original story here: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com... Aug-18-16    WannaBe: Well, it happened again, Win10 did an update, and my mouse (MPC by Microsoft) quit working. Had to move it to another USB slot to get it working again. This have had happen with the first few Win10 updates, but have not happened for a while. Until today's update. Ugh! Minor annoyances. Aug-18-16    WannaBe: <pyke> just timed out on 2 of our games on GameKnot. His forum/profile says "So Long and Thanks for all the Fishes" (from Hitchhikers Guide). I sincerely hope he is alright. Aug-22-16    WannaBe: Summer League Hockey in Minnesota. Gotta love the "Trophy". http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/... Aug-22-16    WannaBe: Think I'll actually watch this (reality) show: https://www.yahoo.com/tv/better-lat... Aug-22-16    thegoodanarchist: < OhioChessFan: .... Molly Ivins always made me want to vomit.> Not surprised at that. She is too far left for me, so she must seem like Karl Marx to you. Aug-22-16    saffuna: But she wrote a lot about bidness and the lege. Aug-24-16    WannaBe: The high price of living in the Bay Area, Oakland home listed for $400K. That's right, not a typo, Four Hundred Thousand. http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/... Address in the article says it's close to the Oakland Zoo. Aug-24-16    heuristic: <house in bay area> in a quasi-related note; this is hilarious: https://medium.com/@subes01/this-is... Aug-24-16    WannaBe: <heuristic> Thank goodness my life isn't like that. Aug-25-16    WannaBe: iOS 9.3.5 released to patch Malware: http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/25/tec... Aug-29-16    WannaBe: Class action lawsuit vs Apple: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/touch-di... Sep-01-16    WannaBe: Holy Piano, I am impressed, I am beyond impressed!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mr... Sep-01-16    WannaBe: Yo Yo Ma and Leonard Bernstein! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNv... Sep-04-16    Penguincw: Wow <WannaBe>, I never knew you worked on an airplane: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/nati.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCV... Sep-04-16    WannaBe: <Penguincw> Thanks for the heads up, they were flying to Chicago, but was it O'Hare??? I'm gonna sue that SOB for impersonation. Sep-05-16    WannaBe: There are certain music(al) pieces that just should not be converted/transposed to Marching Band Music. I am listening to the Ol' Miss vs. Florida State Univ. game on Internet Radio. One of the school's marching band played Gustav Holst "Mars, God of War" piece, twice so far. Ugh!! Heavens forbid, if some school's marching band decides to play Barber of Seville. That school automatically goes on my ignore list. There are just certain music that does not work with marching band(s). Sep-06-16    WannaBe: Very detailed article on Theranos, much I already knew. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016... Sep-06-16    saffuna: I notice Holmes is often wearing a black turtleneck in photos. Is she consciously imitating Steve Jobs? Sep-06-16    WannaBe: <saffuna> You obviously did not read the (whole) article. Just look'd at the pictures?! =)) Sep-06-16    saffuna: I haven't opened the article yet. I just remember seeing photos of her. Sep-06-16    WannaBe: <saffuna> Article is really detailed, I've been following Theranos for a while, so nothing was 'new', for me. Still a very fascinating read, the one thing not in the article, is why she got into blood business, one of her relative, uncle, if I remember right, died because the test was inconclusive, or was not quite right in the diagnosis. Sep-06-16    saffuna: Really interesting article. She sounds like a big-time promoter but didn't produce anything to justify a billion-dollar company. I see Forbes ranked it at $4.5 billion earlier, now basically at zero. The secrecy should have been a hint that all was not as it appeared. I watched the Cramer interview. She seems to be one of these people who tries to deflect tough questions with a barrage of aggressive words, always on the counterattack. Sort of like the Trump spokespeople on TV. It brought back memories from back in the 70s. I used to drive on Page Mill Road every day, in what was then known as the Stanford Industrial Park. There was a small building housing Genentech out on the edge (probably not the edge any more), one of the first biotech companies. The phrase "Silicon Valley" had not been invented yet. Sep-06-16    WannaBe: <saffuna> I know Page Mill Road well, as I go to Frys Electronics often. =) Sep-06-16    saffuna: I thought Fry's is just off El Camino Real, on the east side near Palo Alto High School. I guess it's near the corner of Page Mill, which goes west past Hewlett Packard and a lot of the old-line companies.
