It’s a protest song FYI. There’s a lot meaning in that song and video (it’s satire), you can find explanations on YouTube.

Normal American Day: One school shooting has left a kid dead and multiple kids injured, video released of an police officer mistreating and then taking action that leads to a black woman’s death, an independent militia (which is an actual right granted in our constitution) says we should solve our immigration problem by gassing (as in gas chambers) immigrants, and on top of all of that our federal governments about to go to shit over a report that (even from my highly left view) proves nothing we didn’t know, besides that fact Trump’s an idiot and did try to skirt laws. So the Earth is literally dying, our students are, quite frankly dying, our constitution is dying, and asylum seekers are literally dying. 

I live in such a wonderful era of history (though as a student of history, I know that there isn’t many goods eras either).

This Is America.

Well, on paper USA has the fastest and strongest offensive. No doubts about. You are huge favs in that match too, but I don´t see the result being so high around 15-1 :d

 

In fact, sorry for this little off topic but..

I am really curious to see how you guys from NA will do on our ice, The Košice (where USA and CAN will play their first round) ice rink surface size is the largest in the country, this will require more skating. + the angles, the place behind the net and everything is totally different from the NHL North American ice rink sizes, that should be especially difficult to adapt for the goaltenders (we already saw yesterday Canada conceded 5 goals from Austria in the test game lol because the goalie had huge problems with reading the game).

The 3vs3 overtime on this ice size is also a absolutely different chapter, you have suddenly so much place on ice, this suit much more skilled players to show some nice tricks.

 

but overall, I mean, it´s not easy for NA player to get used to european rinks (and particularly to our "airport") so early, it requires some training sessions and matches. your players will certainly be surprised by the ice size when they will enter the the ice for their first training today :d

Why does bullshit news like this, about authorities being utterly idiotic, always seem to come out of Florida? :lol:

Because Florida is the only state where all arrest records are public. It’s a phenomenon we journalists call “Florida Man”. Some interesting stuff comes out of Florida arrests let me tell you. This is honestly a tame one.

Yeah I see Florida Man is something the internet came up with pretty nicely, even with a Twitter account to follow all these bullshit but kinda funny stories (and some really not funny but outright terrible ones).

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
