Well that's cause you're Jojo. You have super secret NSA hacking abilities.

Btw, why we're at it here's a fun little exercise...

What's everyone's name of their first pet?
What model was your first car?
What was your high school's mascot?
I love watching morons replying to things online that just build a profile over time.
“what’s your favorite food?”
“Restaurant”
“Color”
And so on.
How are people that oblivious?

Anyone else watch The Queen's Gambit on Netflix? One of the best shows they have ever put out in my opinion.
I'm on ep 3

She played the Caro Kann in the one boss battle! That and the Stafford gambit are my main black plays as black

MR. CLARK FROM STRANGER THINGS JUST SIGNED HER INTO A TOURNAMENT I'M LOSING IT

Why am I not surprised you watched it too? Lol.

The acting and production quality is top f***ing notch.

Anya Taylor-Joy is going to have a hell of a career. She's got "it."
Oh she's got it alright
Her character is just....*chefs kiss* Smart, hates people, and she uhh....embraces her vices responsibly (at least it seems like she does in the show as she gets older)

Going to bed for the night starting ep 5 tomorrow and
ok maybe her vices aren't so under control anymore after her mom died :(

I have a bunch of spare Flyers tickets this year. They just won't let you in the building.

There's also the whole pandemic thing keeping us apart.

You've got a wife that works at a hospital and youre worried about the guy who leaves his house approximately three times a week, one of which is to take out the trash?

To be fair she hasn't worked since August and essentially had no run in's with any Covid patients besides the time that a husband knowingly had it but didn't tell people before eventually coming clean once they were leaving.

Although, she wasn't working those days and never came in contact with them.

I'm obviously just busting stones, to be 100% clear. I'm trying to be as cautious as possible because I'm probably at a greater risk than I like to imagine because of the wifey.

Which player were you rooting for?
Beth is my spirit animal.
I've never irresponsibly embraced my vices, however. There we differ. But she cleaned it up.
She f***ing rocks. I crush on her hard
They nailed the sense of competitive friendliness in the chess community too, in a rather touching way. I'm not going to pretend I'm going to be playing any tournaments, but everyone, even if you're beaten by someone, is a friend away from the board looking to hone the skills of both themselves and others using their winning games, losing games, or others' winning or losing games. I mean, just look on twitch and how everyone is so willing to offer advice...you have agadmator, naroditsky, gothamchess...all are helping scores of thousands get better. Myself included. It's just such a wholesome and great community.

@JojoTheWhale or anyone else know how to fix this?

I’m trying to chromecast Disney+ from my phone to my TV. I have the Ultra chromecast that I got possibly a year or so ago. I’ve never had an issue doing so until yesterday. Every other streaming app works fine (Netflix, Hulu, etc). It’s just Disney+. I’ve reset my chromecast and my internet multiple times.

Disney+ will show up on the chromecast but once I hit play on a movie it tries to load and then that message pops up.

I’m at a loss.

Did you turn it off then turn it back on again? If you did, try blowing in the cartridge

HDCP (and DRM) are copyright protections. That's usually a handshaking issue. Have you tried putting the Chromecast into a different port?

If you have and/or that doesn't work, plug the Chromecast into another TV to see if it works. If it does, this is usually a tv firmware update bricking something and a factory reset of the tv and turning off automatic updates would fix it.
