By all accounts, my ego can be seen from Jupiter.
Why Pluto is not a planet anymore?
Why is Pluto no longer a planet? | Library of Congress
Answer. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects. ”Nov 19, 2019

@great-big-stees saidIt does take the cognitive side of the brain to be in good working order. 🙂 ( With Earl some luck to go with it) 😛

What does the left side of the brain do for cognitive function?
The left brain is more verbal, analytical, and orderly than the right brain. It's sometimes called the digital brain. It's better at things like reading, writing, and "computations". May 9, 2022
Some people just aren't good at solving problems which if you look at it is kind what chess is a big problem to solve, starting with your first move. 🙂 One the GM's once said if you don't have a plan by move 9 you are just shuffling around pieces.
