    Fun! But I wasn’t able to finish: I got a captcha with digits 5, 3, 7, and 8. When the chessboard appeared, the best move was Qe6. These conflicted with the rule to have all digits…

    Who are "the news media companies" here, exactly? Who is "they" and what do you mean when you say they "forgot race relations to push other issues"? I ask this because I'm pretty s…

    10 feet away from what, exactly? A ‘law enforcement activity’? Is that area defined in a meaningful way? What if a bystander records 10 feet away, but a second person stands in bet…

    Don't hold me to this, but if I recall, the recommendation is to consume 8 cups (1 cup = 8 oz ≈ 0.23L) of water a day, and the water contained in our food counts. This is to say, p…

    I was responding to your suggestion that avoiding calling monkeypox a ‘gay disease’ was “just political correctness” by suggesting that some meaningful percentage may instead be “a…
