I am currently in Belgrade which is about 600 km north of Albania so i didnt feel any tremor at all. But i heard that it was felt by many Belgrade inhabitants. I am sure that earthquake was very strong in my hometown Podgorica which is very close to the epicentre. I cant imagine that force (6,5) since the most powerfull earthquake i felt was about 5.2.

Crazy thing about earthquakes. 2011 Japan earthquake was so strong that it moved earth axis and shortned duration of day. Whole Earth was shaking at least 1 cm. Imagine that force.

 

One of the more beautiful towns in the Baltic :wub:

Morocco Monaco and the manga Maroko 

Olympic1010 was never good in geography , he thinks that the earth is flate and the world is limited between Texas and santa monica ,the 2 places where they sell bigmac without cheese 

 

 

I’m not one to brag, though I do seem to do it often on here (and that makes me said a bit, because that’s not really my personality, especially when it comes to sports). But I felt the need to #humblebrag right now so:

Made it to the California State Geography Bee finals. I qualified out of regionals thanks to my knowledge of Guatemala’s National Bird (the Quetzal). I was eliminated at state finals because I missed two questions (One was about: Which is more likely to live in the Artic, a fossa or a musk ox? And the other was about naming countries that border the Danube River).

 

Safe to say I know a bit geography. I score in the 99th percentile in the US.

 

Also, I don’t think the world is “flate”, not would I ever eat a BigMac in my life. I’m also pretty certain I know the difference between :MON and :MAR. I just made an honest/lazy mistake.

Sydney allows people to drink alcohol after midnight again. It's shocking that a modern day prohibition doesn't work :lol:  These bozos needed millions of dollars lost to understand that.

That’s why I’m for the legalization of marijuana, and the establishment of supervised consumption services in the United States. People are going to do drugs. That’s just a fact unfortunately, but we should at least try to offer them as much help as we can. Sydney’s supervised consumption center has been very successful. I’m surprised they had a law like this, especially knowing how much Aussies love their beers.

    • Judging always takes two or three minutes in these competitions - longer even for possible medal runs - for reasons above, so just saying DNI is a way of saying it's not worth comparing a fall on the third hit to a fall on the fourth hit since neither are going to affect the overall.  
    • Scoring in all these events is a bit strange as they are not judging a pre-defined move to an absolute standard, as happens in diving, gymnastics etc, but are constantly shuffling around trying to score riders relative not only to each other, but to that riders' previous runs earlier in the competition and qualifying.  
    • Slovak Entry     Team  -  Prievan v peňaženke (Empty Wallet or literal translation"draught in the wallet")   Time for some retro-Rockl...   One of the most famous pre and post communism fall era, The Bratislava band Team led by its unique and charismatic singer Pavol Habera who was extremely popular during the most important period of our and czech history around the communism end in 1989. His band survived the hard censure of the regime and produced many, many and Many hits in this period.   Nowadays much older the lads are still playing however with slight softening of the original music style. Habera was also quite famous as Simon Cowell-style judge in the czechoslovak version of American Idol in the previous decade.   The song I picked was and is still a sort of a unofficial anthem of young people, I guess the majority of us knew this feeling about having constantly an empty wallet   but, without further ado, here is the 1989 song Prievan v peňaženke from Team, hope some of you will enjoy it     Lyrics       Lyrics   I guess it takes a special talent To be always running dry with money No use wasting any more words I'm one of those soft-hearted folks Who are always penniless   I'm a faithful friend to every bank But there's still no cash in my wallet Just a ten-penny coin, long time non-valid The sad end of payslip days   My wallet is always empty I lose bank notes by the pound My wallet is always empty I can hear their distant laughter…   There might be a Bermuda triangle in my wallet I can’t win this fight against nature My blood pressure is low and my salary follows suit My pockets are empty like those of a big-beat fan   My wallet is always empty I lose bank notes by the pound My wallet is always empty I can hear their distant laughter…   I'm the ultimate currency expert No success in my wallet Hey, bro ! could you lend me a twenty ?

    • Okay, I used the tables in the article to calculate the qualification rankings for flying disc (ultimate): https://wfdf.sport/2024/08/road-to-chengdu-qualifying-for-the-world-games-at-wuc-2024/    should be qualified by my math.  are tied in ranking points, so assuming  gets the host quota, I'm not sure who gets the last quota place between those two teams. Of course, none of this is official as only the federation can confirm who qualified. 
    • swept all three events: open, women's and mixed 
    • That's completely ridiculous, and another reason to get rid of it from Olympics.   But, to be fair, the WDSF Breaking rankings were quite precise during Olympic Qualification. They weren't clear about how the quota would be given, but imo, they find a good way to distribute the points.
    • were approved as new members of the WFDF ahead of the world ultimate championships last week: https://wfdf.sport/2024/09/wfdf-congress-approves-new-national-federation-members/
    • There will be a little more downtime for multi-sports games fanatics like myself. The ISF has something next month, but the schedule is pretty empty until December (2024) and January (2025).
