@GaryKibble_12 @bhs7rocks @chess_feed I wondered the same thing, but then I saw the pawn on a5 recaptures on b6.

@Englishmedam Why the multiple questions giving a choice between an/a or the? I saw an elephant in the wild but not the elephant at our local zoo. If there's one elephant or it's noteworthy in some way then 'the' is appropriate.

@TheVocabCapsule @Englishmedam I'd agree both work depending on the context: she failed THE interview and didn't get the job. Has she ever failed AN interview before? No.

@YUUHI57_SKY @LandLover56 It's probably real from Chicago. A US restaurant called Uno's used to Chicago style pizza but never this nice.

@AliTBD21 @timecaptales Elon Musk may soon become the world's first trillionaire which, as you said, is beyond comprehension. Gilligan's Thurston Howell III was supposedly a billionaire who lost it all and became a lowly millionaire.

@timecaptales Yeah and a trillion is in the imaginary or abstract realm. Which puts astral scales in perspective.

@wonderofscience Not as geometric as Fingal but the Palisades along the Hudson River of New York are also basalt columns

@kuroneko3ai No disrespect intended, I just feel like Japanese people often get underrepresented in anime art. Perhaps the artist loves western girls? And that's ok 😀

@kuroneko3ai I find it amusing in anime to have a Japanese setting with so many western students. One exchange student makes sense for foreign readers to identify with, but personally I 'd love to see more Japanese culture and people displayed.

@shipwreckedcrew My mother-in-law was fooled by this. She didn't see the mandatory tip and tipped another 15%+ on top of that.

I would be curious to know how the restaurant accounts for "service charge" revenue on its taxes.
Does it go to the server? Does that mean the note at the bottom violates consumer protection laws since it is clearly intended to mislead you into tipping more if you?
Is it included as revenue to the restaurant, and taxed in that fashion?

@RPG_GM02 I loved this game in college. Haven't seen it in decades.

@CollinRugg The closest I've been to a plane in flight was on I-95 right next to Newark. As we peaked a hill, a shockingly low jet flew right over us on its landing approach. It was a wow moment.

JUST IN: Baltimore bakery truck struck by a United Airlines plane coming in for a landing at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
According to local reports, the plane was a United Airlines Boeing 767-400.
Senior vice president of Transportation & Logistics at H&S Bakery, Chuck Paterakis, says the driver was headed from Baltimore to New Jersey when he was hit.
The driver suffered minor injuries, according to Fox Baltimore.
"Our maintenance team is evaluating damage to the aircraft and we will investigate how this occurred," a United spokesperson said.

@HazelAppleyard When AI generated movies are cheaper to make, one idea is to tweak the plot and ending with every showing. That might encourage viewers to watch it many times and compare the differences. Perhaps you could pay extra to view it at home with the changes you customize.

@Grand_DM There’s a book with a concept not too far off this. “The Misenchanted Sword” has a wizard cast a spell on a scout’s sword that makes the wielder immortal and unbeatable every time it’s drawn, but only until the wielder kills a man, and resheathes it.
