TurboImageHost (TIH) changed their format for uploading today.
Hopefully it won't affect my work here too much.
Only one way to find out, though ...
Hm.
One thing I note, even in pre-posting, TIH's site doesn't actually copy when it says "copied!" now. When I hit paste TIH gave me, instead of my images, the URL of a previously saved webpage.
That's minor, though.
Let's see if it still does what I came to it for:
Some of the things I post here are games or riddles for any interested poster to hopefully have some fun with in guessing. For example, the last 4 entries are of a fitness enthusiast turned cosplayer named Brigitte Goudz.
Or rather the first of the last 4 images is her. The other 3 images, taken in sequence, give the homonym equivalence of her name.
The first of those homonym objects (bridge), has an interesting background all its own. It's Tacoma Narrows, circa 1940, which some of you might recognize from either that name or the picture, as "Galloping Gertie", and it collapsed that same year.
From Wikipedia:
" The bridge's collapse had a lasting effect on science and engineering. In many physics textbooks, the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance; the bridge collapsed because normal speed winds produced aeroelastic flutter that matched the bridge's natural frequency. The collapse boosted research into bridge aerodynamics-aeroelastics, which has influenced the designs of all later long-span bridges ..."
Previous chess images on that green board show one of the rare examples of underpromotion proving a winning technique. In that case, choosing to promote a pawn to a knight, which has less than half the point value of a queen.
The following are two cases where having lesser force was not deliberate choice.
These were probably won partly due to time pressure -- Samuel Jackson in "Fresh" might not have truly known the game, but he had a point:
Actually have to resist the urge to avoid the random and unpolished here.
Content first, editing later.
Stream of consciousness thought(s) on above:
1. Nichelle looks amazingly good for 85.
2. I've actually known some people who've looked that good at that age.
If you're lucky, and have the right genes, and have taken care of yourself ...
3. Chiropractic model is probably a crossfitter. Looks like Sigmundsdottir or one of the well-trained extras they hired for the DCEU Wonder Woman movie.
Speaking of Nichelle Nichols, and some of the amazing women of the 1960s ...
While it lasts (these links, unfortunately, ALWAYS get broken over time), Miriam Makeba, 1967:
