Truth be told, I would absolutely approve of Congress doing the same exact thing. And you're right, they most likely won't because both sides will not try to compromise on their positioning in any way. I agree, there's no chance of this happening. Even if Congress did pass a law making abortion leg...

If you want to read the actual opinion, here it is:

With all the concurring and dissenting opinions, it's 213 pages.

As others have said though I expect it's about what you're used to, since when people who only use other sites always dilike our colors etc. ^^^^^ This. When I first saw the new UI, I didn't like it that much, for the reasons others have given: similar colors, colors too bland, weird icons. After p...

Crypto is just the modern version of a pyramid scheme. It's not, entirely. There's an element of a pyramid scheme to it. There's an element of tax evasion, too. But there are also true believers driving the technology forward. Blockchain technology does seem to have some useful applications, for ex...

More brainstorming ... focusing on "not male" ... gymnastics? diving?

Also let's keep an eye on post #44 -- the sport/entertainment can sometimes involve teams, though this person's fame is from individual participation. So not boxing ...

Brainstorming possible sports/entertainment (not a question):
Auto racing fits, not sure about dancing (seems more entertainment, less sport). Boxing/wrestling? Track & field? Other Olympic sports?

Is he alive today?

I have to agree with the Questionmaster on the fame point. The Queen was hugely in the spotlight after Princess Diana was killed in 1997. They even made a movie about it ("The Queen," 2006).

Is she American?

Caching for game listing counts, order by pot size by default Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm finding this default can't be overridden? If I change the search criteria to GameID, Descending, the system ignores that and displays results for a pot size search. Separately, I would think GameI...

Is it a movie character?

Whoops, sorry about that. I didn't know he wrote books, and the summary page of his official website didn't mention it.

Yes - well done!

1. Not female 2. A real person 3. Not mainly known for their work in entertainment 4. Alive today 5. Not a writer 6. A politician, sort of, technically, but probably not the first thing that comes to mind to describe this person; not a "traditional" politician (see also post #26) 7. Not American 8. ...

Alright, I see I have some catching up to do. But a voice in my head (probably my intuition, but who knows nowadays who's in someone's head) says 'bring this name out, say the name' so my free guess is Nelson Mandela. It's not Nelson Mandela. For one thing, this person is still alive. But your guess...
