For newbies, IMO, John Bartholomew's Chess Fundamentals series on Youtube is the best content out there for quick improvement.

I think they probably didn't want to alienate the already existing fanbase by making it too much of a departure from the original. The older I get, the less I want to learn too many brand new mechanics, and I appreciate the balance of old and new in the sequel.

V was easily my favorite. Never could get into VI. My favorite games are complex games, but I'm too old to learn new complex games so I keep replaying the same games. That said, it seems the series did decline after V.

No plate readers in the area??
With the vehicle description and partial plate number the authorities should be able access the readers and identify the person in minutes
That's exactly what we would have thought. Especially with where the incident occurred.

He was told there wasn't a matching stolen vehicle report.
The guy that hit him had gotten out and talked with my dad until my dad determined he would need a police report. At that point, the guy said that he would just go to jail and got back in his car and drove off. We're assuming he already had a warrant and if so, I tend to think they may already know who it was, but he's not been given any information.
Calling OT Detectives - Hit and Run
Posted by audodger on 12/26/25 at 3:31 pm
My dad was involved in a hit and run at the intersection of 119 and 280 in Birmingham, AL. His truck was rear ended by a white SUV that looked like a Tahoe, maybe 10 or so years old. The license plate started with 1C04, and he thinks the next two digits were 39, but can't be sure. The damage was $3,300. The cops took the information, but he hasn't heard anything. Does anyone know a way to search partial license plates? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I was really sad to see this. Loved Danya and learned a lot from him. :wah:

How is it a non catch?The ball never touched the ground. The center fielder caught the ball for out 2.
the third out was the force play at home
I have no idea why the catcher throwing to third had anything to do with anything
Two things -
1. Once the ball hit the wall, it can't be a catch.
2. If it was a catch, there wouldn't be a force out at home. It would have to be a tag play.
They got the runner at home on the force out and then apparently also got the runner out at 3rd on the force out.
Hard disagree. Multiplayer had a steep learning curve, but it was amazing. The campaign was also great, though, to be fair.

I love my Steam Deck, but use it almost exclusively with Sunshine/Moonlight to stream games to it from my PC.

Vintage Story
I rarely try new games anymore and mostly just rotate through some old favorites, but this one has hit the spot and will definitely be staying in the rotation for a long time. Perfect mix of hardcore survival with cozier aspects like building a base, setting up a farm, forging tools, etc.

I'm interested in this. How does that compare to big picture mode?
It allows me to use it just like I use my computer and for some reason I have a lot less latency with Moonlight. Big Picture mode is much more limited.

Stick to one opening for white. I highly recommend John Bartholomew's chess fundamentals playlist on YouTube. Aside from that, your worst issues should probably be hanging pieces and missing tactics. Bartholomew's series goes into depth about how to ensure you don't hang pieces. I recommend doing a lot of puzzles on chess.com to improve tactics and pattern recognition. Lastly, stick to rapid and always make sure you analyze your games. I'm guilty of switching to blitz and bullet a lot because it's fun, but it doesn't improve my game much.

The link from OP reminded me of our NCAA online dynasties. I looked into what it would take for me to play NCAA Football again and ended up getting College Football Revamped working on my PC and streaming it to my Steam Deck. Those online dynasties made some of my best gaming memories so thanks for the memories to anyone I used to play with. :cheers:
