Well shit, another major earthquake hit basically the same area 15 minutes ago :yikes: 

 

Yes, another. Not just an aftershock, which is usually weaker, but one of basically the same strength....7.8 was the first one, 7.7 is the one of a few minutes ago. That is very, very bad.

No no no no no don't go posting super moron Frank Hoogerbeets :lol: 

 

He comes up with hundreds of predictions for terrible earthquakes, based on planets X and Y being in some angle with the sun or some pseudoscience bullshit like that, and now that he finally 'hit' one, he is just basking in the dopamine rush that the likes and retweets are giving him today...

 

Several times a year he comes with some nonsense prediction for a civilization-ending super earthquake and nonsense like that.

 

As the old saying goes: even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

I didn't know he is one of that kind...I thought he was a somehow reasonable scientist...:mumble:

 

it looks I was wrong big time, so...he's just a catastrophist looking for worldwide attention...:facepalm:

It works for him though, I guess he went hard on the dopamine from his 124 thousand likes, 53 thousand retweets and 35 million views of his tweet :p

For the last few days I have seen some info (some posts) from totallympics.com almost copied/pasted in Polish sport press & websites.

 

Well, maybe I'm a lunatic, but I believe that my effort in promoting this forum among Polish journalists, coaches, official and athletes can bear fruit...

 

And among some lawyers who specialize in sports law :-)))))

@Vojthas you share some interesting info on your twitter account, thanks!

 

Szymon Ziółkowski's recent words are particularly interesting.

Sports law?

 

Yes, exactly. And believe me, you can make a lot of money here if you know sports law. As an attorney-at-law or sth similar. Endorsement deals, doping cases, CAS, sport meetings organization, sports events transmitions in TV or internet etc., etc...

 

Which things are translated?

 

Generally speking, BLRUS in Paris or not, boycott or not, doping issues and match-fixing are the hot topics here now. Some people use this forum to prepare their texts, some of them even in the most popular Polish websites and press, and i think this is good.

 

Hopefully one day they will mention totallympics.com as their source as well...

To be fair, BLR/RUS in Paris is one of the main overall topics in sports at the moment... :p

    • Honestly, it’s not very clear what is happening in Italy — anything could happen. There is extremely high turnout, and no pollster, politician, or newspaper had predicted it; now they’re all there throwing out data. No one has any idea why people voted, also because it was very technical and almost empty polling stations were expected. It will be interesting to understand whether this is a protest vote against the government or a protest vote against the judiciary.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
