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

 

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  

 

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...

 

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

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

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?

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...
