Just listened to the Minnesota accent on YouTube and it's nothing much like our accent. Not that any Irish accent is anyway similar to any American accent.

 

I got somewhere in Ireland when I took the IRL/GBR version. Makes sense since I’m 50% Irish by ancestry. I’ll take that one again and tell you my result.

@OlympicIRL Gallway, Killarney, Bray were my best matches. I did light up all of the Cornwall which is interesting ?

I hate that I only think of life’s hardest questions from 20:00-0:00. Those aren’t the best times for writing down thought. I had some damn good ones today too. I should be better at this skill since I’m a writer :facepalm:.

The artist who selflessly donates their own pictograms to Wikipedia for use and allows others to use them as well really deserves some praise. The dude has made pictograms for over 200 sports. I choose some of more and unusual ones to show below. A few them are also just ones I really like.

They are making an impression. Much better than the official ones that will be in Tokyo.

    • Quarter final  Sept 29th    3 - 1        -        
    • There we go, 50km left & Pogačar is on his own.
    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows
