And the Sentinelese introduced arrows to his face

And now the Indian government is talking about looking for ways to recover his body :facepalm:

 

I really hope someone there stops that crap and just says "no, we will leave his body there and leave those people alone". Come on, seriously...don't even think about going there and risking the lives of every single person on that island (plus every single person going there)...

Nope. According to the reports I have seen, there is no proposal to look for his body. It is presumed that he is dead and buried. The fishermen and others who helped him have been arrested as well.

Gave some blood today, kinda hurt. I hope it goes to good use, and hopefully not to any of you!

That's nice :). I wish I could donate blood, but unfortunately I can't due to legislation. Hopefully it will change in 2019.

"The five strips of Atlanta Uniteddddddd, going from left to righttttttt, all in whittttttttte." (after around 10 seconds into the video)

 

The way this commentator pronounces stuff, especially the t at the end of words, is honestly one of the most painfully annoying things I've ever heard.

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • 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.
