@PeterSchiff "Lavrov always wears a suit. Therefore he respects the the United States more than Zelensky does."

Ridiculous implications are sometimes the best way to identify faulty logical premises.

@DanielRensch Way more wheels. Cars are a push, but bicycles/carts common not to mention machinery and furniture. Every room in your house contains more wheels than doors. Just think about file cabinets, watches/clocks, chairs, motors...

@chesscom @KalleKriinen1 @chessqueen After 1. Qe5+ Rg7, 2. Rxh7+ Kg8 3. Rd8+ mates, too. (Somehow Rd8+ doesn't look as flashy when the moves are transposed.) I wonder how many would intend 3. Qxc7 Rxc7 4. Rxc7 with a decisive material advantage and see the mate in two only later!

@vanishingcorp The best case studies are ones where students don't know whether the company wins or loses. Everyone's hesitant to critique Apple or Tesla's choices but eager to pile onto Blockbuster.

@Confessant I suggest requesting co-authorship, rather than demanding (ex post) that the wording be changed. The journal should back you up.

This is so strange. Why hide VP's identity when everyone else in the story is named? @SamAugustDean

@Oatmeal I'm around 1200, but the game goes too fast for my fingers at that point!

@ASlavitt @inthebubblepod Standard vaccination timeline has shots 21 days apart but studies show that a longer between-dose time (8 weeks ideal) increases antibody response. Is it a good idea to wait longer after the first shot, either as a policy by providers or individuals delaying dose 2 themselves?

@idontwa86202030 @Public_Citizen Pfizer's press release from May 4 spells it out explicitly: "Now Anticipates Revenues of Approximately $26 Billion for BNT162b2, Reflecting 1.6 Billion Doses Expected to be Delivered in 2021 Under Signed Contracts as of Mid-April 2021."

@agadmator Congratulations! Enjoy her years as a pawn; she'll be a queen in no time!

@FIDE_chess After 1. g6 hxg6 2. h7 Bf6 3. Bb8!!, the threat of c7 (queening the c-pawn by force) forces 3. Rxb8, following which Kxf6 wins by promoting the h-pawn next move.

@OrbanJuche @SusanPolgar @FIDE_chess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline @tatasteelchess @WOMChess After 1. Nxh6+ gxh6 2. Qxh6 Ra7 3. Re5 Be8 4. Rg5+ Qxg5 5. Qxg5+, it still requires a *lot* of technique!

[DC Croson @profdc]

@SusanPolgar @FIDE_chess @EuropeEchecs @ECUonline @tatasteelchess @WOMChess Give GM Polgar some credit, please. If you think this looks easy (1. Nxh6+ gxh6 2. Qxh6) you're missing Black's defense 2. ... Ra7! after which there is no quick mate. Look deeper!

@emollick Q

[DC Croson @profdc]

@RideCATA East Lansing Intermodal Station is not open, despite signs saying opening 7am. 50+ passengers in vestibule!

[DC Croson @profdc]

@chesscom Also works if the Q is on c7: 1. Rd7 Qc8 2. Nf6+ Kh8 3. Bxb7 (or 2. Rxb7 directly, for that matter.) White's activity is overwhelming.

@chrislhayes I think you should clarify that taking revenue from competing businesses = OK if consumers are made better off. Otherwise there is always a sore loser even for big, unambiguous wins (body shops lose from backup cameras, morticians lose from life-saving pharma, etc.)
