Imagine telling people the benevolence of the rich will lift everyone, in a system built to reward NOT BEING BENEVOLENT. With a straight face.

Couple reasons I think of.

1 is you lose your bishop to the white pawn next. Then the King has more mobility to get away from your queen/rook

And, you still haven't broken the stalemate of the white rook keeping your pawn from promotion. White just never moves the rook and black can't move his rook and that leaves a knight and two pawns against a king and two pawns... With a white rook covering 7, while the black rook just stares on. The bishop sacrifice at that moment gives black a checkmate in 3 (you're right not 2).

How do you see it playing out if black takes the pawn?

Right now black can't promote their pawn without losing it, as soon as he tries, white takes it. Blocking it with the bishop sets up the only situation where the new queen is a factor in the game... Which happens to be a checkmate in 2 moves.

Any other move and I'd bet white wins

I think if you do that white has a path to victory. You lose the bishop, still can't queen your pawn, and white can now pressure your king position.

The move here is genius because it literally locks up the game.

Rook just takes the piece for free, don't think that's it.

It still looks sealed. Unless you see exposed wire I wouldn't hesitate to keep using it.

If it gets very hot and didn't always, then I might reconsider. But I doubt you have a problem there. We all have had to bent prongs back to the right position before. My work vacuum is so loose now I basically have to bend them before each use lol

MPT’s single biggest tenant, representing about a quarter of its assets, is Steward Health, a struggling community hospital chain into which the REIT has plowed more than $5.5 billion since 2016. Steward’s former owner Cerberus Capital Management had extracted at least $800 million from the hospital chain by the time it sold out in 2021 to Steward founder Ralph de la Torre. Along with some senior managers, de la Torre bought out the private equity firm’s interest by taking out a $335 million loan with MPT, and shortly thereafter extracted their own nine-figure dividend from Steward. (Shortly after that, de la Torre bought a super-yacht.)

It could be slain if it was worded differently. But no, it isn't slain in that sentence

Unless I can carry 5 gallons of paint and all my tools on a bicycle, it doesn't really matter. Roads are necessary.

I eventually changed some shit. Changed careers a couple times. Found one that isn't so bad. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't do it if I didn't need money, but as far as jobs go it's fine.

You could find remote or work closer to home. Find home closer to work. Change careers completely (although while doing it, I made less and it was harder, it paid off eventually and now that it's done, I'm glad I did it).

You change jobs until you find one where you aren't miserable. That's it. That's the whole thing. I don't work even remotely close to my educational skillset or previous work experience would suggest. But you know what? It's all still helpful. I learned to be a better communicator, salesman, etc at the other jobs and they all come in handy now.
