For the wet food, yes. And it just so happens that it’s not a bowl either: My cats happen to eat from these fancy desert plates we have but never use:

They’re low enough for them to easily access the food, they’re perfectly sized for the amount they eat, and they clean up nicely in the dishwasher at the end of the day.

The dry food bowl, on the other hand, is a basic metal bowl. They clean it well themselves.

My previous employer had it, but changed to a receipt based system instead. My guess is that they’re gambling on some not bothering with handing in miniscule amounts worth of paperwork.

I got poached by my current employer. I was looking for excuse to turn them down, so I responded with a list of demands, and they said yes to everything. The demands were mostly reasonable, with a couple of hilights. Off the top of my head:

• 40% pay increase
• Any flight over 4 hours will be business class if available
• I don’t hand in meal receipts for travel days. Flat sum per day no matter what. Cuts down on the paperwork.

Depends a lot how you interpret “great”. My personal favorites are, without picking a winner:
Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Edinburgh, Brno

Been there. It’s hard to pick a “greatest” city, but Singapore is definitely up there. Amazing place.

If I drove the tire truck, on days when it’s 110% impossible that a set will be used, I’d rather leave them in the truck and bring them to the track than breaking my back putting them in a sack and hauling them back. Fuck.

Way back when I decided to dye my hair black, that song helped me choose which kind of black.

I actually like Mondays. I work from home, and that’s when I get to have the house by myself.

TSA are as alert as their paycheck dictates. I told both TSA and CBP that I was attending a meeting for three weeks, so my tourist visa was fine. It was an obvious lie, and they obviously didn’t care. (It was before I got my C1/D).

“Business and meetings” is the magic phrase for when you haven’t gotten around to sorting out a work visa before hand. Take away their chair or any other source of work place comfort, and chances are they’ll care even less.

A clown with bangs… how do you like my haircut? And does this nose make my nose look big?

Sounds like something shoutcast can do.

Remember the time before apple acted as if they invented audio streaming and built a walled garden of podcasts? We had shoutcasts long before podcasts.

Came here to say this. Plus, Budapest is a pretty cool city. Had the pleasure of spending a few weeks there in 2003

I vaguely recall enough to confirm it. Yeah, that didn’t age well. “Men can’t be raped, bro”

Terrible or not, psyop or not, vote!

That movie was so forgettable… remind me what she did again?

Trust me, it takes A LOT of time. I’ve been playing for around a decade, I’m ELO 1400ish, and I still consider myself a nooblet.

The problem with chess is that it’s an ancient game where anything you might try has already been done by someone. Randomly move a horsey, and a skilled opponent will recognize it as either a blunder, or part of a well known strategy. “Ha, I can see you’re trying to play a Venetian Sodomy Gambit, but I already anticipated this, so by moving this pawn you fell for my Cleveland Steamer Trap. Eat shit, noob. Mate in 61 moves!”

Chess is truly an unforgiving game to 99.999% of us.

You will never master it. I sure as hell never will. But as long as we’re having fun, that’s all that matters.

Now, with that out of the way, I find that most people stagnate at around 700 ELO, because that’s about when the common opener traps stop working. A little beyond that level, and countering them is not only easy, but punishing them is expected. And to move past this level, a basic theory knowledge of the game is important: Learn an opener, and then master that. Not the entire game, just the opener sequence of your choice.

Once you’re able to arrive at midgame without already being behind, you can start developing your more generalized skillset.

My suggestions is that you learn King’s Indian Attack (as white) and Purc Defense (as black). They’re very similar, and they put you in an easily defensible position, and it works against pretty much any opener your opponent might try.

Oh, EDIT, because I forgot the most important part:
NEEEEEEERRRRRDDD!

Doubt it. LoN was pretty much UN but with a lot fewer members and even less teeth

I stick to brain based. I have a system that makes it easy for me to remember which password is for where. Step one is to use passphrases instead of password. Obligatory reference: xkcd correct horse battery staple
