Seconding a gastroenterologist. In Australia you have to be referred to by a general physician, and the GE will perform the colonoscopy procedure and also consult. I'm in my 30s and had mine done just the other week. The prep sucks but it's for a good cause, and the anaesthesia is divine.

Good on your friend ;) It's important to look after your brain's meat suit, particularly that area considering the growing body of research between the gut/brain

Not the person you're replying to, but it's not "more complicated" per se, technically, but Twitter is as Musk puts it a town square, and if you're going to treat a product that relies on a social network like a car or a rocket...can't see the analogous processes applying here

I've been using a local engine for analysis. Firstly it saves Lichess CPU time, and secondly it's more powerful (running on GPU). I prefer the Lichess interface so do use it occasionally but otherwise the Nibbler front end over lc0 has been handy. You can paste in FEN or PGN format which as others have mentioned should be available from some physical boards.

I work on developer tools at google, and it's not even remotely one of the prestigious teams

Out of interest, what is? (In your opinion)

Wow! This short film is genuinely one of my favourites (and is generally under appreciated). The lead actor went on to be a very successful stage performer and I think he shied away from this film a bit. I remember pestering the director (who played Agent Smith) about 10 years ago to release a 1080p version. So happy to see someone else talking about it.

Oh and I can't write a comment about it and not acknowledge the tragic passing of Michael Falzon. What a loss
