Something to keep in mind with studies are outside social factors such as less women playing chess and less women being exposed to chess at a young age. There are fewer women in chess and fewer girls learning chess, for probably centuries. This will have a factor when comparing two demographics.

Funny, I was just listening to the album this morning and was chuckling at the lyrics to one of the songs, which explicitly state no homo bro.

Hey speak for yourself, I was forced into French immersion school by my parents with promises of good government jobs. Now I can understand French but Quebecois is a whole different beast 😂

As far as I've read, that price is for both no ads and Ultra which I guess gives you more perks). For just no ads it is significantly less. For no ads in my version it's $30CAD, which is a high price but is much much less than $100+CAD

This is how my mom texts, and it's always a fun game trying to figure out what she's trying to say

Once again, they are not skinned alive to make a sweater so not exactly what my ex pictured happened for yarn products.

The Princess Bride, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Both have so many great lines they still crack me up every time!

I mean they are certainly shorn more than once before that happens, so I wouldn't exactly say it's a blood sacrifice.

My ex thought the only way to get llama wool was to kill the llama. For some reason, this logic only applied to llamas, she understood sheep wool didn't require the same sort of blood sacrifice.

So here (and maybe it's just my family?) I've always seen the home thermostat set in F, while the weather outside is strictly C. So like my house is set at 70f but if I were talking about outside I'd use C. Which is funny because the thermostat in F also means nothing to me, I just notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I am in the winter 😂😅

Ontario checking in, 100% accurate. Actually I would add home temperature (like the thermostat) under F, but body temperature (like checking if you have a fever) under C. Also we're so used Americans using miles for distance/speed we'll sometimes use it in idioms ("They ran out of here at 100 miles per hour!”). I never realized this change between measuring systems wasn't the norm until I started chatting with Europeans.

The designer saw the colour chartreuse one day and thought "yes."
