    @coxinus said in Puzzle Time - Chess: @Doctor-Phibes Chess problems are always white to move. That's racist.

    Yes, the Congress party (which was the party in power forever, starting with Nehru - followed by his daughter Indira Gandhi -- followed by her son Rajiv -- followed by his son Rahul) is also going to try and form a government. (As an aside story - Rajiv was never going to be in politics. His brother Sanjay was the one who was being taught to move up the political ladder. But he died in a plane crash (he was the pilot) and after he died, Rajiv became more active)

    As long as megaprojects are driven by narrow politics and “process” as opposed to efficiency, the country will continue to lag in improving its infrastructure despite massive subsidies from government. That is a key sentence and agrees with my thoughts. Almost all infrastructure is done with public money, and it is tough to get people to agree to "pay up" for just maintaining things.

    @89th Agree. She is one of those in congress who get out-sized attention, way above their abilities or accomplishments. Ocazco from the Democrats is her equivalent.

    Apparently it is impossible to find a juror in Delaware that doesn't have a relationship with the Biden Crime Family.

    I once considered suggesting to Mrs. Phibes that we could get rid of all her old books and slowly replace them with Kindle versions. Luckily I came to my senses before opening my stupid mouth, because the alternative would have been coming to my senses in a hospital ward at some point later.

    Audrey Hepburn drove Bogart to drink. Of course, it was a very short drive. Seriously, when making Sabrina, they'd have to shoot scenes multiple times, because she was young, nervous and would flub lines. Bogie believed in blocking it right to begin with, then one and done.

    @89th said in Dont see this too often from an Athlete: Back when golf had style (and no cell phones). As Robin Williams said, golf is a game where white men can dress up as black pimps and get away with it.
