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 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-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. 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 723 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Very cute, this episode's title is "No Win Situation". Now, if anyone remembers Kirk and the Kobiyashi Maru scenario, Kirk said: "I don't believe in no-win situation". See how this episode will work out. (Of course the hero will live, they've got more episodes to air/show) Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Edit, the correct title is "No Win Scenario", not situation. Stupid Romulan Ale and Klingon Blood Wine. Don't mix your alcohols, kids. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: This part makes no sense (to me), they shut-off all non-essential energy, but holodeck is still on? Must be nice to be an admiral (and pull 'rank'). Ugh... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Dang, the writers expected that and it was explained... =(( Mar-10-23    WannaBe: "I am guessing you are not referring to cannabis"... So, weed is legal on starships now? 🤪🤣 Good thing they have replicators that can make infinite amount of Doritos or whatever you are in the mood for. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: How does she know/predicting these impacts? Mar-10-23    WannaBe: That. Was. Not. Michael. Dorn's. Voice. Or was it?? Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Love that chair spinning scene, nicely (homage) to Amanda's father's scene in the movie. I loved it. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: And we have an 'explanation' between the animosity between Capt. Shaw & Picard. (And Jack Crusher) Hard for me to justify either side of the argument, but I like how Picard handled it. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Methinkth, that Riker just got 'punked'... Ashton Kutcher would be (have been) proud. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Annnnnnnd here is the "Grease Monkey"... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: If you remember the oldie song, "Catch a Wave and You're on Top of the World"?? Well.... I did see that coming. Mar-10-23    WannaBe: That reminds me of the scene where Enterprise was towin' a bunch of space mines... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Oh goodness gracious, there's a red door, and I hope Jack doesn't want to "Paint it Black". (Apologies in advance). The 'intensity and acting' in this episode was higher than the other previous ones, and I was not surprised that this one was also directed by J. Frakes. As always (for season 3) the credits of writers/directors are at the end... Mar-10-23    WannaBe: Oh, as a final thought, we 'get' to see Troi, via 'Zoom'. Mar-11-23    WannaBe: Just found out a couple of things that I didn't know about season 3, directors did back-to-back episodes, and that's that. (So probably not a random pea-draw as before) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_... Could explain why the 2 J. Frakes' directed episodes are so good. #3 and #4. Back in the 'old days', season was 26 episodes, or 1/2 of 52 week year, and some episodes were, um, huh, gee, "Not-So-Good" Now they are down to maybe 13 or even 10 episodes a season. And man, I'll tell ya, quality over quantity. Interview with Dorn, Frakes, Matalas, and Burton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Any... Mar-11-23    WannaBe: Now, a completely different topic, SilverGate & Silicon Valley Bank insolvency, this may cause a major tremor, if not an earthquake in the banking industry. Could this be bigger than the failures of Lehman Bro. and other banks in the real estate time that brought on the Great Recession? (Time will tell) But many, many smarter people than I have predicted a recession is coming, and it is because the bond leverage and how the fed/J. Powell raising the interest rate. On YouTube, Patrick Boyle and Graham Stephan both published vids today explaining what and why happened. (I learned a lot). Pretty scary. Mar-11-23    WannaBe: This is for <chancho> (Please don't be jealous because you can't get Paramount+) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hH... 45 minutes long. Mar-11-23    chancho: It says the video is unavailable... Mar-11-23    WannaBe: <chancho> Ah... must be location/IP aware =(( Mar-11-23    chancho: Thanks for doing it nonetheless. Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Star Trek Picard, season 3, episode 5 (Half-way point of the 10 episode season) And. Here. We. Go. Mar-17-23    WannaBe: That's one heck of an intro and throws a monkey wrench... Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Oh, wait, think I know what the intro is about... Mar-17-23    WannaBe: Don't know why I found this to be so funny, maybe it's cussing's allowed, since it's not on 'public air-wave TV'. "I am going to step outside so the 3 of you can your BS story straight" -- Capt. Liam Shaw (They are in a conference room, and no Capt. L. Shaw is not stepping out to 'outer space'). Killed me, just killed me. He is indirectly-directly assisting Picard-Riker and 7 of 9.
