Horrible situation unfolding in Australia:

 

Since I'm Australian, feel like I have to talk about it.

I live in Adelaide so I'm currently safe, as I have been all fire season.

These fires started in September.

5 million hectares burnt.

Our fire season is nowhere near finished and our fire services especially the New South Wales Rural Fire Service have received funding cuts through out the years. The RFS specifically by 75%.

New South Wales is the state that dealing with a large majority of these fires.

I'll try and keep you updated on the situation.

Currently there's been 

5 million hectares burnt

Half a billion dead animals

Not sure about the number but 13 deaths and one person currently missing

Smoke has reached New Zealand multiple times

Air quality index has reached over 1000 in areas even 150km away from fires.

Forget race, religion or sexual orientation, we have some moron who thinks veganism should be protected by the law. Hell, he argues veganism IS a form of religion :lol:

 

This is where the entitlement crap of this world truly rises to the fore.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
