Is there any way to do that on an iPad? I tried tapping and dragging, and couldn’t make anything happen.

Doesn’t function on my Android tablet!

I got it to work on my iPad. Tap and hold the centre tile/card

Best streak of 11! Quite the brain workout, even though my 11 run had a lot of luck too. Eventually I got an unlucky break with Leslie mann being born 1 year after the Stanford prison experiment ended

Best streak of 12. Missed on the founding of the Universite Paris (1794.) Very fun! Good practice for Jeopardy!

ETA: Found a bad error. Gigabyte Technology (Taiwan) was founded in 1986, not 789. :roll_eyes:

ETA: Stopped with a best streak of 16. Very addictive!

Crisis Text Line is one of the world’s most prominent mental health support lines, a tech-driven nonprofit that uses big data and artificial intelligence to help people cope with traumas such as self-harm, emotional abuse and thoughts of suicide.

But the data the charity collects from its online text conversations with people in their darkest moments does not end there: The organization’s for-profit spinoff uses a sliced and repackaged version of that information to create and market customer service software.

Despite the dystopian horror of the contents of your emergency therapy session being used for profit and marketing purposes, I did find myself tickled when I read “And we know that if you text in ‘sex,’ ‘oral’ and ‘Mormon,’ you’re questioning if you’re gay.””

Hopefully the seo bots dont get the wrong idea and start sending me mormon adverts
