I listened to Bellini's Norma a few months ago in a concert hall. It was by far the best experience that I ever had in a concert setting. I highly recommend anyone to at least give some operatic arias a go before dismissing this artform!

Late. I am almost never in bed before 3am, so it is always an extension of the previous day for me.

The world's capital is whichever city that I'm living in.

The traditional East Asian way is to eat with a spoon if it is on a plate, and eat with your chopsticks if it is in a bowl.

Good that the option to see who voted for what is unavailable. Otherwise we would have the greatest civil war in TKR history.

Sounds like the perfect recipe of food poisoning.

Let's mark the moves without adding new lines, so we can easily plug the PGN into a board.

Also wtf is e4 lol.

Hehe maybe I can start? @Otto @Georg_Friedrich or others, feel free to join.

I think you two are making illegals moves. For example, @Georg_Friedrich copied an old board for his move 8 (with the knight undeveloped). I was trying to follow the game with the Lichess chess board, but was unable to do so due to the illegal moves.

My suggestion would be to do proper annotations, and play the moves out with a continuous PGN. The "board" is kinda messy and is prone to mistakes.

For example:

1. c4

Person 2

1. c4 e5

Person 1

1. c4 e5

2. Nc3

Person 2

Quote

1. c4 e5

2. Nc3 Bb4

etc. 

The players involved can just plug in the moves to an analysis board for better visualization.

i misread the first option as "chess" lmao

How do you eat a chess fondue? Melted wood? 

Why not both?

Yes when working. No when staring at the PnW site and Slack.

I want to know what is that, but I'm also scared to find out.

Vanilla ice cream with ranch?

I can pretty much eat all kinds of food.

Count me in too!

I set multiple alarms at 5 minute intervals because a single alarm is definitely not enough to wake me up.

I can sleep through any loud noises. Including the house alarm going off, but saying my name or whispering by me will wake me up
