The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

Does anyone use flashcards for studying chess? Thinking about taking screenshots from my Chessable Course and making Anki flashcards have the name of the line and some moves on the back of each card. Or is that just have everyone does with Chessable. Still learning notation. #ChessPunks

How many #ChessPunks are registered #ChessPunks? I’m thinking about registering with Chess Federation of Canada, curious how many amateurs have taken the step and any pros/cons when deciding.

Going through OmniFocus periodic project review and I am glad that I don’t need this student template any more. Almost forgot how nice it is to not have homework to fill up evenings, weekends and holidays.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

@drscull.bsky.social given you have a Phd, does this metaphor holds up? If the first three years of playing chess was like learning to write, now I am trying to learn to edit.

Really inspiring episode. “You have to remember if you want something in life you have to ask what you are willing to sacrifice.” Tony drops some wisdom. Great episode @DoctorScull it definitely made me think more about tournaments. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them. Harmony is not the combination of identical sounds. It’s the pleasing arrangement of different tones, voices, or instruments. Creative tension makes beautiful music.
