I don't understand how this didn't happen the instant PiS got voted out in Poland tbh.

... You know this is from The Onion right? The shittiness is deliberate.

They should™ work with any git repo hosted by any method right down to running git-http-backend as a CGI script I would have thought.

Could someone that understands chess explain the answer to rule 16? I got it by just plugging in all possible moves until it passed but it seems like a dumb move that gets your queen captured for no real benefit.

SpoilerThe answer is apparently Qg6+ but I don't see how this is any better than Qh5+ for example which would (presumably) be followed by g6 then Qxg6+ putting you in the same position but with one less pawn for black. What am I missing?

bunch of bankers.

The correct collective noun for bankers is a "wunch of bankers"

"The US government, please help Chinese stock investors," said another, per CNN on Monday.

That's certainly an... ambitious request. I'm sure the US government will get right on that.

So, as far as I can see the ruling was that the guy hadn't sufficiently proved through his actions (e.g. protesting, joining any anti-war movements or in this case even expressing this view to anyone beforehand) that he was an actual conscientious objector and not just a chancer who didn't want to serve.

The fact that he played PUBG was brought up as part of the suggestion that he was just having a go but wasn't the whole case against him. Indeed tbh I can't really see anything suggesting it was a particularly important consideration compared to the lack of positive evidence of conscientious objection but obviously it's the bit that's going to get clicks.
