Guys chess.com is great.
But recently I bumped into lichess.org is way much better IMHO.

It’s full feature free, btw

I have spammed the metal and music threads with igorrr. Absolutely brilliant. TBF the modular rack he uses is no more or less an instrument than a DAW. True, but it’s a whole lot more complicated than with a DAW. Don’t get me wrong I love electro stuff DAW crafted, I’m not an analog purist, really ...

Igorrr, they should be the word on everyone mouth but they are still underground. Listen to their last album. No, it’s not a plugin/virtual instrument/DAW wizardry you are earing. It’s all played with real instrument by real musicians. Those effects? Analog synth magic filtering + tons of genius. Th...

I just entered the thread to post something similar :D Man, I really tried to listed to them because of the fame that they had among some of my friends. But god, they are so effing boring. I think the singer has no charisma whatsoever, he sounds so ... generic. Maybe that is what ruins them. Here t...

It amazes me how music is perceived subjectively. I love all Patton’s stuff, from FNM to Mr.Bungle, Fantomas to Mondo Cane. I love Anthrax first Belladonna era, I rate those LPs the best thrash has produced along Megadeth’s RIP and Pantera’s classics. I love those classic grunge bands, love the RHCP...

She was my friend’s mom. She was 72. She was in hospital since January with a pancreatitis. She was recovering well, should have been home by the end of march, she saw her daughter, my friend, for the last time at the beginning of march before hospital’s closure. Then came the Covid, at first my fri...

I’m no math expert, nor a virologist, so I won’t draw conclusions or theories. I’ve taken data from the Italian institute of statistics: flu and pneumonia death toll for the year 2014 was 9413. One month since the first death and we are already near 7000 Covid related casualties, in 3/4 days 2014 wi...

The economic devastation and misery that will result from the isolation measures will far exceed the benefit to society of saving several million, mostly elderly and infirm people. Its awful to say. I realise that. But it is a cold fact. There is a very real prospect of mass unemployment, social un...

Update from the red zone. In the town I live supermarkets are almost empty. There’s no flour or yeast left. A over 60 yrs old man from the town I was born and raised has died. He owned a haute couture clothing store, he loved music and he financed a Lot of classical/music shows in my own town. I wor...

I run a small audio/video production studio, working mainly with TVs or enterprises The audio part is running steadily, I can work from home while voice talents can record from their home studios.

News from the red zone, Milano, Italy. Now everyone I know is scared. Really scared. Now everyone in the provinces of Milano, Lodi, Cremona, Bergamo and Brescia know someone who has cought Covid19.

Your average day in a red zone in Italia. I’m queing to enter a supermarket, with gloves mask and hat. Difficult to post on iPhone with gloves. Not crowded but they let in small groups each time. Yesterday I played guitar on my balcony with my daughter singing. That’s the best you can do to interact...

Comparing Italy and UK
- similar population
- similar number of beds per capita
- UK better beers and liquors
- Italy better wine and food
- UK better rugby

I’m happy that the trend has changed here in this thread.
Nobody is minimising the crisis anymore.

You all seem way more aware of what is going on than the premier league chiefs.

The Italian posters have been very quiet, I hope Alan is okay although I feel things there are more grim than yesterday :(( Hi, still alive.

I think everyone needs to settle down a bit. Yes, it's a pandemic but ffs it's basically just a flu. In fact with an estimated mortality rate of about 3.4% (the vast majority of that being people who are already compromised health-wise and elderly) and an estimated reporting rate of about 1-in-5 it...

America is taking the opposite approach, which is to let it run its course. Option A gives the best chance of saving the most people. Option B maybe gives the best chance of saving the economy, although that's a fiendishly complex equation. Debatable. Option A proves your state has control and effi...

Not as we may hope. It is NOT rare. Death rate per age doesn’t equal pneumonia affected per age. Are you saying it’s common for fit 30yr olds to end up in intensive care with this? That’s not the profile that has been reported Something doesn’t add up here. The raw data does add up and it says if y...

Is there provision to pay for housing for those who can't work due to shutdown? Where will they go apart from 'home'? Good question.

Hospitals here are more than full, you have to be in trouble with your lungs to get treatment. If you are over 69 years old you’ll be sent back, whatever the symptoms. Sorry for coming back to this but just want to be clear: Anyone who is aged 70 or above... is now a write off in that part of Italy...
