Why do you think siblings would hate each other? Giving them the mental and emotional tools to interact kindly and calmly with others will also ensure their reltionship is positive.

This is so very important. Snapshots are very helpful tools, and most if the time they’re exactly what you need to recover. Unfortunately they don’t help when the drive fails, or the machine is destroyed by flooding, or myriad other failure modes (human error nit being the least of them). Remote backups are vital if you want your data to survive those events.

Remote copies of the snapshots are a start, but leave you at the mercy of and bugs in the snapshot system, and usually more critically, you have to transfer the whole snapshot or delta, and can’t exclude data without first rearanging your mountpoints.

Lical snapshots and remote file backups give you the best of both worlds, making it easy to recover your data from pretty much any event.

You can’t use anything but maximum super strength, all the time.

This is the sort of silly law I can actually get behind, so long as they didn’t spend long on it. It adds a bit of local flavor, and has a positive motive.

That’s the idea. Powerwise I figure it falls below the queen, but still has the potential to suddenly attack across the board. The downside being, it’s then potentially quite vulnerable as it can only move one square at a time to get away, unless it can attack again.

The Schemer, moves like a King, but attacks like a Queen. That way it only moves around the board slowly, until it can strike. Escape is tricky as it can’t move fast when not attacking, so it needs to enlist the support of other pieces to cover it’s moves.

It should start in place of the King’s bishop, whispering intreague in his ear.

But when we pulled out the switch, all three of 'em come on.

The green ‘circle’ not being circular is hurting my brain.

Militarily, your definitions are correct, I was attempting to be ‘funny’ by using the English language definition instead.

Whilst, yes, they’re wrong, they’re also right. After all, those things are shot and then fly, so they match (one of) the dictionary definition of being missiles.

I give them partial credit for their attempt, and a pat on the head for keeping on trying.

That’s a cool cat.

Don’t let it grind you down, it’s just a twist on the usual pieces.

Only the most seasoned players use them properly.

That has unironicaly made me nostalgic for the days when the web was a place of experimentation, joy and just a bit of crazy.

The way he’s sitting reminds me of the “I don’t always … but when I do I …” meme.

Probably best not to go wishing for the motivated and smart kind. This is bad, that would be worse.

University is about a lot more than the piece of paper you get at the end. If it’s of any real quality, and you are actually engaged with it, you’ll be learning from experts in your chosen field, amongst engaged and eager peers, whilst also being exposed to different viewpoints on everything from what to have for lunch through the latest innovations in your field, and adjacent ones, to the geopolitical state of the world. The people you meet, and the connections you form can, and often do, form the bedrock of your working life from then on.

All of that does make the assumption that you actively engage with university life and those around you. Make friends in different subjects, seek out your professors during office hours and talk to them about their interests, join clubs, do stupid, but ultimately harmless things.

It also assumes you are attending a ‘good’ university, rather than a profit driven degree mill, and those might be harder to find in some places than others.
