< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 340 OF 446 ·  Later Kibitzing> Dec-07-22    MissScarlett: Don't want to split hairs, but it's the convention here not to include a comma between town/city and country: <London ENG>, not <London, ENG>. However, one is used to differentiate city and state in America: <New York, NY USA>. Don't ask me to justify it on first principles, that's just the way we rock and roll. Dec-08-22    stone free or die: Glad to see it straightened out - my cautionary advice applies here as well as elsewhere. That's just the way I rock and roll. Dec-08-22    perfidious: <zed>, Ah'm a-blowin' the whistle: that there rock 'n roll belongs over at Kibitzer's Cafe! Dec-08-22    fredthebear: I'll pass on the vacation w/stone Z or die and perfidious. We wouldn't have anything to talk about. However, round-trip airfare and accommodations to Barcelona sound terrific. Wait -- I think my passport has expired during the pandemic. (Yes, bears are required to have passports like everybody else. The USA allows illegals to flood in but its citizens must jump through hoops to leave.) How about a train ride to Whitefish, Montana? Dec-08-22    MissScarlett: First and last warning shot fired. Dec-09-22    fredthebear: I take it that's a no on the vacation to Montana? Have you ever seen a bear on snow skis? FYI Americans: REAL ID required to fly the friendly skies this spring - "A star on your driver's license shows that you have a REAL ID, which is necessary to fly starting from May 3, 2023, if you plan to use your state-issued ID or license to fly within the U.S. The REAL ID Act was passed by Congress in 2005 to establish “minimum security standards for license issuance and production” to help prevent fraudulent identification." a.k.a. STAR license. It will be rather difficult to fly without it. Dec-09-22    Susan Freeman: <Fred> I had to check. Yes, I have a star. Never noticed it before. I would think everyone does. Dec-09-22    technical draw: Whoa! Thanks ftb. I just checked my driver's license and I have a star. I never noticed it. I'm not planning on traveling soon but it's good to have just in case. Dec-09-22    nok: If you have five stars, it's prolly a fake made in China. Dec-10-22    MissScarlett: Today's GOTD title <What's the Story) Korning Glory?> doesn't show up on the game banner: P Korning vs R Christophe-hayot, 2017 It's mangled on the home page, too. Dec-10-22    MissScarlett: T Gungl vs A Chopra, 2022 This game involved Aryan Tari not Aryan Chopra. Is this a problem with the system or bad data? More than a few missing games from El Llobregat Open Chess (2022) - it was a nine round event. Dec-10-22    petemcd85: <MissScarlett: Today's GOTD title <What's the Story) Korning Glory?> doesn't show up on the game banner:> <steve> is looking into it <MissScarlett: T Gungl vs A Chopra, 2022 This game involved Aryan Tari not Aryan Chopra. Is this a problem with the system or bad data> Bad data from <elllobregat.com>, I did correct it. T Gungl vs A Tari, 2022 <MissScarlett: More than a few missing games from El Llobregat Open Chess (2022) - it was a nine round event.> All 9 rounds were uploaded, that was all the games I could get from: https://www.elllobregat.com/chess/ Dec-10-22    stevemcd87: <MissS> There seems to be a bug when trying to use parenthesis in the title, we needed to remove them. Hopefully the users will still get the reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(What... Dec-14-22    MissScarlett: The (Soaraway) Sunway Sitges Chess Festival is taking place (hint, hint): https://sunwaychessfestival.com/ Dec-15-22    petemcd85: <MissScarlett: The (Soaraway) Sunway Sitges Chess Festival is taking place (hint, hint):> Hey <MissS>, wanting to make sure you see that the tournament is up. Sorry for the delayed response. I thought you just wanted me to update it. Chessable Sunway Sitges (2022) Dec-17-22    fredthebear: Thank you. Dec-18-22    HeMateMe: Did <Phony Benoni> (David Moody) pass away? Dec-18-22    fredthebear: Sadly, yes - this summer. Here's a brief mention: https://sites.udmercy.edu/campuscon... Dec-18-22    HeMateMe: I remember chatting a little here and there with PB, nice fellow. Dec-18-22    fredthebear: Funny too, a good storyteller. Dec-20-22    MissScarlett: Corporate apolgies are always so cringe: https://twitter.com/ZeroBlunders/st... That said, if there's really money to be made from chess apparel, kudos to them. Personally, I wouldn't be seen dead in it! Dec-20-22    stone free or die: If anybody fits the <Damn the torpedoes> mode... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ax... "She's a good girl..." Dec-20-22    Susan Freeman: I'm an American girl :) <Stone> Dec-21-22    stone free or die: For all the criticisms of <CG>, it still has a unique charm that can be found nowhere else. L P Supi vs K Plichta, 2022 (kibitz #2) He's just an American boy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic5... (when we could still yeah Kanye, though Estelle is the real star here) Dec-22-22    Susan Freeman: https://youtu.be/gqYZLNMDVJc I am breaking my own rules, but I just had to do it.
