""Run as fast as you can.""

Translation: Me like money

As an anti-racist with a geography degree, this is solving a problem that doesn't exist. Walk into any classroom on earth and chances are good they won't have the mercator projection on the wall, they'll have something better representative of area, often a Robinson projection.

Ok, I'm tempted. Not enough to preorder, but if the reviews are good enough I might go for this.

This reminds me of a case where a British court and an American court each ordered litigants not to litigate a case in the other's court.This was in law school decades ago and I'm too lazy to look it up, but it's the same kind of issue where if you want to do business in either country you can get easily screwed.

It's appropriate for a Chess.com story given their app now has ads by sketchy, low-class companies

The male/female ratio in China isn't that skewed, it's something like 106:100. A lot of it is probably the same thing you see in every other country, where both men and women lose social skills and have unrealistic standards of what kind of partner they are entitled to.

Right-wingers have been loudly cheering the inevitable economic downfall of California for years as its economy continues to grow. It must be so infuriating to them that Commiefornia just keeps getting richer.

"After 9 years as a US citizen, he could run for the US Senate. He would be 76 (or 74) years old.In short, it looks highly unlikely that he could (or even would) run for the US Senate."

Yeah, he would be way too young for our Senate.

I feel bad for entry-level folks -- though continually surprised how many of them outsource so much of their thinking to AI themselves. It seems like most college students cheat with AI, making them less useful as entry-level employees.
