As a 20 year “board game person “ I understand what you’re talking about. Many people like playing games, but most “board game people” like learning games. I love playing games and have many games I have played dozens of times (or hundreds if you count digital plays), but an equally enjoyable part of the hobby for me is learning new games. Learning a new game and trying to hold the interlocking systems of rules in my head while trying to deduce optimal strategy is a very enjoyable experience for me. It took me a while (years) to realize how unlike most people I was in this respect. Many people were excited when we first played Settlers of Catan and then Ticket to Ride, so I thought they had the same feelings about learning new games that I did. But ultimately I think they were happy with one or two games and then found the thought of learning new games unpleasant. Whereas I have never grown tired of learning new games.

He was my favorite chess player to watch online. It’s been a few years since I watched a lot of chess, but he was the best. RIP

Yes! I have tried the G2, Pilot Precise V5, Uni-ball Jetstream, Lamy Safari, Pilot Hi-Tec-C, Fisher Space Pen and others over the years and the Vision Elite is by far my favorite!

Sorry to hear that. Usually you should get an initial response within a week or two. I’ll ask around to see if we’re backlogged due to the holidays.

This has not been my experience. I’ve had multiple AirTags notify me multiple times over a period of months that I needed to change the batteries.

Our entry-level hiring is done onto GS positions. Our experienced positions (requiring approximately three years of post-degree employment) are covered under the AcqDemo pay system (https://acqdemo.hci.mil). These experienced positions are generally a part of the NH-03 pay band, which correlates with the GS-12 and GS-13 grades of the General Schedule.

All of our positions require a security clearance. You are not required to hold an active security clearance before you are hired, the investigation is part of the on-boarding process.

Also unrelated, I too read your book in the 90s as a teenager and emailed you, and you emailed me back!
