started watching buck rogers today and after the first episode the opening is a complete ripoff of at least half the opening sequence from the planet of the apes series. the shows not too bad but that part does bug me every time.

Which Buck Rogers?

It's pretty much like the old Flash Gordon serials I think I have a lot of these in either shortened (much later, for tv iirc) form or original serials either all joined together as one file or separate episodes like intended. The latter versions are usunally of poor quality iirc but maybe I'm wrong. I can't even remember where these are right now but they're on an external WD drive here... amongst a pile of them

I'm guessing you're watching "in the 25th Century" though? I watched that one as a kid, probably in the early 80's

I forgot that I seen something about the old buck rogers before. which it does look a lot like flash gordon that gets aired on a local channel here I tried to watch it a little bit some time ago but couldn't.
yes the 25th century one.

The old ones are good material for falling asleep, like after a long day when your brain stubbornly refuses to shutdown but you feel exhausted, or when you're stuck in bed sick.

Mobile chess game, has its own monthly ELO. I could go for 9000 ELO. Most grandmasters can get 3300+



That's what happens when you blitz chess at max speed possible only reacting to bad moves that give you free pieces that are exposed undefended and then return piece to the square it was on to continue the Capablanca/Tal/Reti/Fischer(as well as my own unorthodox style that gets computers and people out of the opening books having to think and not knowing what the best moves are automatically and I do) playbook. One bad move and you lose, you never know what the opening or style will be. Classical, ultramodern, all-out attack open game, positional or tactical, closed game with perfect pawn structure, defensive, traps, gambits, and unorthodox play as what the fuck surprise. If I write a chess book it'll take too long.

Edit/ openings get things rolling and the reason I win is I'm an endgame and checkmate machine. Trading pieces simplifies the game and rushes to endgame, useful against computer opponents. Tal style fireworks are best.

I watched a court program where a woman wanted a divorce because she found out her husband was giving men handjobs for pay at clubs. I stopped watching because he was saying he's not gay. She didn't want to be married to a vehement liar.

The problem is politics not more politics. Since AI is going to take jobs away anyway, let's vote on which robot gets elected. No more senility.

Trump went from declaring people who attack Tesla dealerships terrorists to terrorizing Tesla. What a maroon, that's how Bugs Bunny says moran.

It's being called a breakup, it's the end of a beautiful mansex era. Stop hurting one another guys, you're lovers not rivals. Kiss and makeup sex, MAGA.
