That is the fakest looking pile of giant nachos I've ever seen.

I think maybe that's how they built the container that holds the cheese.

Cool

Looking forward to it.

Doritos set a world record when the company used a helicopter to dip a giant chip into a cheese mixture and reportedly stretched the cheese 49 feet without breaking.

Yeah, I heard. Sucks.

You don't need to concern yourself with that haha. For casual play you can vastly improve your game just by following these steps:

1. Train yourself to recognize mate opportunity at any given time. Chess puzzles are good for this.
2. Train yourself to recognize who hold the initiative at any given time. Initially it's White but Black can seize it easily. Example: Black deploys h-pawn and push back White's incoming bishop. Black has slight advantage now because that h-pawn can clear the way for h-rook one step ahead of White.
3. If you hold the initiative, keep developing your pieces into their territory. More pieces = more mate combinations. Do not trade pieces if not necessary.
4. If your opponent hold the initiative, force as many trades as you can. Less pieces = easier defense. Do not go into a losing trade if you can.

That's it

Good advice.

Cool

• The central bank last raised rates in July, the 11th rate hike since March 2022, as part of its aggressive campaign to bring down inflation.

I've always been intrigued by the game but have no idea how to play it with any skill. I started those chess learning apps several times but then just get bored. It feels like the game is just about memorizing moves/algorithms.

Yeah learning in little bits isn't as good as just jumping in.

You ready for your brain implant bros?

Elon Musks controversial biotechnology startup Neuralink opened up recruitment for its first human clinical trial Tuesday, according to a company blog.

After receiving approval from an independent review board, Neuralink is set to begin offering brain implants to paralysis patients as part of the PRIME Study, the company said. PRIME, short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface, is being carried out to evaluate both the safety and functionality of the implant.

Trial patients will have a chip surgically placed in the part of the brain that controls the intention to move. The chip, installed by a robot, will then record and send brain signals to an app, with the initial goal being to grant people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone, the company wrote.

Those with quadriplegia due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may qualify for the six-year-long study 18 months of at-home and clinic visits followed by follow-up visits over five years.

Interested people can sign up in the patient registry on Neuralinks website.
Musk has been working on Neuralinks goal of using implants to connect the human brain to a computer for five years, but the company so far has only tested on animals.

The company also faced scrutiny after a monkey died in project testing in 2022 as part of efforts to get the animal to play Pong, one of the first video games.

In May, Neuralink tweeted that it had received FDA clearance for human clinical trials, with the approval acknowledged by the agency in a statement. The opening of human trials also comes over a month after the brain chip startup raised $280 million in a fundraising round led by Founders Fund, a San Francisco-based VC firm established by Peter Thiel, the controversial billionaire who was also a co-founder at PayPal.
Were extremely excited about this next chapter at Neuralink, the company wrote at the time on X, the Musk-owned social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Musk has forecast human trials at the startup at least four times since 2019, yet the company didnt seek FDA approval until 2022. At that time, the agency rejected the bid, according to a March Reuters report, citing safety concerns about parts of the implant migrating to other parts of the brain and possible brain tissue damage when the devices are removed.

Musk said at a December recruiting event that Neuralink has submitted most of its paperwork to the US Food and Drug Administration and could begin testing on humans within six months.

But employees told Reuters in December that the company is rushing to market, resulting in careless animal deaths and a federal investigation.

Lana Del Rey reveals the story behind those viral Waffle House photos

Lana Del Rey has revealed why she spent some time pouring Coca-Cola and coffee at a Waffle House over the summer.

Del Rey explained in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that she was simply visiting friends in Florence, Alabama, where she hung out at the same Waffle House for several days in July with her brother and sister.

We were on our third hour [that day], and the servers asked, Do you guys want shirts? she said. Hell yeah! We were thrilled.

Staff also made her a name tag.

Del Rey was encouraged to pitch in and recalled serving one customer in particular.

This guy, a regular, comes in every day and orders two things, so they were like, Just go get it for him! I brought him a Coke. No ice. And an empty cup.
For dip, she added, meaning chewing tobacco.

Video and social media posts of Del Rey in uniform behind the counter sparked speculation the Summertime Sadness singer was moonlighting as a waitress.

I wish my album had gone as viral, Del Rey joked. I woke up to, like, 10,000 texts the next morning some from folks I had not heard from for 10 years. Saw your picture at the Waffle House! [Laughing.] I was like, Did you hear the new album?
