My poor wife has just got to where she's writing an exercise for writing an assessment to comply with the following learning outcome, which is for young people to evaluate opportunities within the faith community to develop spiritually. I was called in to help and to affirm that the learning outcome is a load of cobblers. It's annoying when you're paid to do something which is bound to be drivel.

That's yapology.

She's done it!! Took her 5 minutes and she feels sorry for the students but she's fulfillled the learning outcome, which was drivel.

I'm from Cumberland in NW of England, now part of Cumbria. In the region I was born and lived there was a lying competition. Also a pulling horrible faces competition (gurning) and a climbing the greasy pole competition. These things were traditional, going back ages.

Oh nice I guess it just shows people sometimes don't like to change too much they like traditions(they change to be modern but they exist) what annoys me is when they go "people don't like to go outside" or "people don't like story telling because that's not true lol" i bet we are telling story's more now than we were in the 1600s(im not sure how factualy true that last part is but the internet is very useful for this)

Chess is better than science because you get a rating.

I thought that was why chess is worse

I don't have an ego my ego has been shot since elementary school I just fake it sometimes to make myself be able to be competitive even tho I am improving insanely fast at chess(yes alot of top gms have an ego but plenty don't I think it's a personality thing and not a chess thing )

It's not bots actually here is rating inflation in daily(better players will have lower rating and newer players will have higher ) and deflation(effects better players up until the top like 99.99 %) in blitz bullet rapid ect people are getting stronger(also more people more cheaters and more geniuses )

I have had 1700s beat me technically they shouldn't be able to it happens it's not about rating it is all about ches knowledge and playing style

Avatar of BigChessplayer665

Because lichess has less people and the settings themself/system is different

Avatar of BigChessplayer665

Less people less rating deflation

And a "begginer" rating on lichess is 1000--1500 on chess.com is 500-800 beginner elo on lichess is higher

I like that one.
But in science - you can get a salary.
Even if its only as a lab technician.

The OP is spot on, it's a waste of time. I played classical chess on here, got to 1400+, but it became so boring I just didn't want to play it anymore. On live chess, I can't reach 800, I can beat 1100's, but 700, 500, play better than 1100's. I don't see this issue on lichess, there is something very odd about this whole site. I keep thinking, am I playing bots? How can 700's play better than 1200's? There is some serious BS going on here.

you are just bad

You're right. For instance, my mother didn't really like fiction at all, since it wasn't true. It was equivalent to lying.

Chess is all about ego, that is why the bulk of chess players are egotistical a o's. Arrogant and prideful that is what I see. If there was lots of money in chess, it would be even worse. I am going to quit it very soon. I have realised that it wastes an awful lot of my time and most of the time live chess just makes me angry, because most games I lose, I lose on time and you simply can't make your brain think quicker, despite what these know it a o's chess expers tell you.

If you're getting older, like I am, don't play it too much but think of it as a way to slow the aging process.

Let me explain the question to you.

What is the task that AI will take on to demonstrate its effectiveness?

Missile Command

Real Missile Command

Atari means "check" in the game of Go.

Nintendo was a playing cards manufacturer, Black Jack and stuff. That is their origin. That is their genetic origin.

Games. Simple games. Ancient games.
