Well, to lighten the mood, i will ask the quintessential question that has bugged me for some time. :d

 

Do people really wear shoes inside their homes? Or is it a typical american thing, because i always see americans whether on youtube, or in movies to walk inside their homes with shoes? :d

I don't like it when close people and relatives do that, especially when they bring the dirt from under their feet inside. However, when they're not acquaintances you can't really tell them to take off their shoes. :d

I only wear my shoes inside home if I went outside to take my bike to go to the store and remember I forgot something back inside, I'm not taking my shoes off for that :p (or something similar)

 

Also like Quasit said: mostly when visiting someone, the visitors don't take off their shoes, although there's always a doormat and pretty much everyone makes sure their shoes aren't bringing a ton of dirt into the house (and if the shoes are dirty, they take them off anyway). 

 

As for our personal situation here: on a normal random moment on a normal random day, we're not wearing shoes inside our home :p

so Saudi and UAE football federation already asked AFC to not play in Qatar ! lol he corrupt AFC already let the Saudi teams do that with the Iranian clubs/NTs but this time it's about Qatar. and in west asia almost half teams are from Qatar and Iran !!

 

since they have money they believe they own the world. we don't play this, we don't play that ! cutting all diplomatic relationships because of small reasons is really stupid, Saudis and that guy Jubeir is playing with fire. and this is a shame that countries like UAE and Egypt have no opinion for themselves and only follow the Saudis like puppets. :thumbdown:

 

btw folks in Iranian government is not sad about this at all, now with this Qatar has to count on Iran as the only "neighbor" with at least diplomatic relationship.

in Iran almost nobody wear shoes inside the house, never, that's a big no no. Eastern culture I believe, beside that people care a lot about their carpets here in Iran. :d

In France visitors never take their shoes off unless their host asked them to, and there is almost always a doormat of course ^^ At home I don't take off my shoes if I just went home and I know I'm going outside again 10 minutes later. But most of the time, no shoes :d

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
