@hckošice@heywooduYeah, that makes sense. Told you a few days of delay is no big deal (for the owner anyway :p ). Now you'll have a special reserve food when another pigeon stumbles upon Slovakian landscape :p

SAG-AFTRA will go on strike, so the American entertainment industry is likely about to grind to a halt. The writers have already been on strike for a few months now. It won’t affect too many shows/films releasing soon, but 2024 could get pretty bare if things aren’t resolved.

Now this is something else :p

 

A :GER tourist arrived last week to Tatras. he parked the car and went hiking with his family for a few days. Meanwhile, during those few days, the road workers installed new guardrails on that section. When the tourist returned to the car, he found this :lol:

 

Travelling to Slovakia ! Good Idea ! :p

How on earth can you think a place like that - right next to the road - will be totally fine to park your car and just leave for a few days? :lol:

Looks to like it was an informal car park before the rails were installed, maybe other vehicles there…..but belonging to people who could read Slovak. :hyper:

Apparently the "OK" hand symbol is racist now and some coach in New York got fired because of it.

 

I wonder when inhaling oxygen will be deemed racist in USA? :mumble:

It’s complicated because white nationalist groups co-opted it a few years ago, but many people still use it for its intended purpose.

 

The club investigated the instance and then fired the trainer, which to me seems to indicate the trainer was using it in the less savory way.

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats 
    • update: Not the best start to the year for Tentoglou, but I guess it can only get better from here    Karalis seems to be getting consistent in jumps over 5.90m, and proving that 2024 was no fluke and he is hopefully here to stay (and I guess to win more silver and bronze medals because there is some Swedish guy who is apparently too good )   No news on Stefanidi and she hasn't been very active on social media. She may have quietly retired, but I have a feeling she is pregnant and will try to come back for LA 2028.    Meanwhile, we have some other hopes in the women's pole vault and I think we'll still qualify 3 girls for LA even without Polak (suspended), Kyriakopoulou (retired), and Stefanidi. Two 16 yos are doing well this indoor season, Bouboulidi (4.21) and Mirtsiou (4.15). We also have 21 yo Retsa, who seemed very promising a number of years ago with 4.14 as a 16 yo and then had some injuries and her progress kind of stalled. Now she is improving a lot this year and has a SB (and obviously PR) of 4.41    New U18NR in the men's long jump from 17 yo Tzelepis with 7.46. It will be interesting to track his progress over the next few years vs Tentoglou when he was that young. There are another two teenagers who seem promising, both from Grevena (Tentoglou's hometown) - Samaras and Isaakidis.   Also 19 yo Mita in the men's high jump with a new PB of 2.26
