Neither a patron nor a Bay Area resident but I'm a fan and would enjoy that. It would also probably increase the parasocialness of relationships though.

okay but what I'm not seeing (as a TOTAL novice, mind you) is what black can do in this position to stop mate on white's next move. Only the bishops can move and I... nevermind, just saw it I think 😂

How would black best respond to that, though, do you think?

That's awesome - I had an uncle who did groundskeeping for the Kernels for a while before he moved to Wisconsin

Aw man, I'm sorry, I know that feeling (if admittedly on a smaller scope than a published book). Still, I'm happy to be able to complete my spotify playlist! Or at least almost complete it - had to sub in the Moldy Peaches' "Anyone Else But You" and a Decemberists cover of the Joanna Newsom song

So it's been bothering me that in the book Chapter 10's soundtrack was only 19 tracks instead of 20; this post is revealing the missing track! For whatever reason (maybe it's mentioned? I haven't read the post yet) the Lil Wayne track isn't listed in the book I have

I will *surely* be relegated after this season, as I don't typically get the 4.5/6 correct per day that is generally required to stay there, but FOR NOW, because I got all six right on day one, I'm in first

So LearnedLeague separates players into levels that they call "rundles" for reasons that I'm sure I could look up but do not know. It's a promotion/relegation system, and I'm accidentally in the highest/most difficult level this season (there's A-E, and B is my usual spot)

When we rearranged the office at work my direct supervisor accidentally gave away 2/3 of my bobbleheads to various exec's kids who were around, thinking they were extras/no ones, and I actually wasn't that bummed about it, because I also still have too many

Fun thing that just happened - I wasn't familiar with that song, so I clicked the link, and when my phone started playing it my 8yo asked out loud "why do I hear Christmas music?"
