@mewilson46 Megan, I’m so sorry to hear that. One of our former cats - we adopted from vet as a kitten - was also diagnosed with that. We took him to a specialist during 1L year; devastated by the diagnosis, but he lasted another couple of years. Not enough! Thinking of you and her.

I think I need to start focusing on this.

Downsizing isn’t just an opportunity to get rid of things we don’t need. It’s also an opportunity to rethink our dreams https://t.co/SCLZ1kcS66 via @WSJ

@FabianoCaruana It’s interesting to see how this sort of thing can cascade over time. Accusations/rumors long ago about Topalov ==> Topalov’s manager accusing Kramnik ==> Kramnik accusing Neimann.

@alittleleader Yes, clearly inappropriate/indefensible. Full-on predator. The worst, although not necessarily the only, type of violation of the Professor-student relationship. Professors have obligations to students, including to not exploit them for your personal benefit.

@NoelLoecse @Sam70909995 @ChessProblem Didn’t Hou Yifan win Isle of Man a few years ago??

A lot is just numbers; fewer girls than boys historically interested in chess & remained with the game. That in turn is affected by misogyny and “creepy” guys. As those factors change …

@natesolon Actually, pretty easy. Multiplicity of Black threats means 1st move has to be check. Only 3 possibilities and one doesn’t accomplish anything. Other 2 are Inter-related and both are required because 2nd move has to be check also. Resolving the proper order is trivial.

hey! you! you’re gonna pass the bar ✨

@JCamachoLegal It’s very hard. And it hurts, a lot. But I took off from work so that my wife and I could both be with her. And I’ll always be glad we did it

[Bob Probasco @ProbascoRobert]

@helchose @AnthonyMKreis Could be worse. Could be a multiparty line.

@babyElleWoods Intriguing

“The Paper Chase” and “One L” apparently either turned off or scared most people about the prospect of going to law school. They increased my interest.

Yes, this is probably one of my character flaws

We can think of at least 400 reasons to celebrate! #FortWorth400

@andreamacdcpa 1970-1974. State public school; never really considered anything else would be possible. $600/semester. I had scholarship to cover that (for two years?), plus work-study jobs, so my loans at graduation were only about $15,000 in today’s equivalent.

@Jmcgowan3838 Being an accountant is a noble profession. It has “count” in the title.
