Hunger v. Money. Apparently people like money...who knew? :p

I'd definitely do both though. Eat a ton on Thursday, wrap up in time and go about my normal business and then on Friday buy cheap stuff that I was looking for anyway :cheer:

Except that companies like Walmart, Target, etc. Force their employees to work after 4PM on Thanksgiving, because they’ve decided that Black Friday starts then.

United Arab Emirates and women's rights :sick:

 

Nowadays women aren't even allowed anymore to kill their boyfriend, cut said boyfriend into pieces, cook the pieces and serve it with some rice as a traditional dish for Pakistani workers. What's next, not allowing them to buy vegetables?

I honestly don’t know what that man thinks he was doing. I’m honestly more sad for the Sentinelese who will have more unwanted attention now. They’re happy, leave them alone. Plus they’re one of the last completely uncontacted tribes in the world. Interesting to think that as I type this on a computer, they’re just surviving using wooden tools and an unknown language.

Well, they are not completely uncontacted by any stretch. They even received some aid from helicopters or something I believe, but indeed, they remain to be there without interaction with the outside World.

If I'm not mistaken, they once accepted a 'gift' from some NatGeo people in the 70's, who approached them with the utmost care, bit by bit. After the 2004 tsunami a helicopter went and checked on them and they greeted it with a rain of arrows :p 

 

They might not be literally 100% uncontacted, they definitely didn't have any recorded sensible contact (as in, actually communicating back and forth).

For now. There's less and less of them and literally thousands of years of incest isn't gonna increase their survival chances..

My reaction will be :dunno:

    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
