My curling pants are that kind - only the pockets are a hint (in fact only their direction "inside" the pants") :p However @Olympian1010 is not the person I'd accuse of wearing curling pants at the university. :d

Yeah, not wearing pants. They’re a pair of sweatpants that I wear since I skate to and from university.

I would absolutely wear any of the above, just maybe not University. Too many of private school uniforms to dress “out-there” for school.

In the newest viral joke here, one Indonesian Child Protection Agency commissioner warned girls to be careful when swimming in public pools because they could be pregnant from stray sperm in the pools :facepalm:

 

 

And of course it is quickly parodied:

Haiti is really devolving into chaos. Carnival has been called off after the army and protesting police officers began shooting at each other :facepalm::yikes:

 

What is it about French speaking countries and public servants fighting with each other?

Something about this song (sung by any singer) brings me back to it in times of need. I don’t know Macedonian/Bulgarian, and don’t have any connection to that area. However, this song has continually got me through life’s troubles, and I find myself listening to it again tonight. The lyrics are very curious. On one hand it’s sad reflection on death, on the other hand it feels like the beginning of life. I didn’t want to post this in the music thread becuase it means more to me personally than any of the songs in there ever will. I thought I’d share though, since it’s been so good to me.

Weekly mass shooting, at least it wasn’t a school or place of worship this time. 6 dead today, 6 more next week probably :(

I know it's in hebrew but it says that a company here in Israrel, that studied the CoronvaVirus on birds, now saying that they have got a breakthrough in making a vaccination for humen against the current CoronaVirus and they belive that in few weeks they will be able to produce mass ammount of this vaccination.

so good luck for them and it is good news for Tokyo 2020:cheer::clap:

    • Our problem is that without Vittozzi or in poor form our chances for an Olympic medal are equal to 0. Wierer actually is more of athlete for relay, which we have little chance without Vittozzi, anyway. At most Wierer can aim for the long run and that too probably only with a 20/20 chance can she count on a medal. France is in a much better situation, because they have 3-4 athletes who can stand on the podium individually.
    • Not that serious imo. She did race last week, with a merely decent outing but still able to make it past the finish line. Probably a cautionnary decision, get some more time to come back into shape and maybe refocus her goals this year as I don't really rate her chances of crystal globe with 3 races missed. We're in a pre-Olympics season, with home Olympics in sight for her and after a near perfect season last year. No need to take risks and endanger her future in the sport.
    • Lisa Vittozzi will miss the first stage of the World Cup in Kontiolahti due to back problems. In my opinion, it must be something serious, because by missing 3 individual events, she basically loses the chance to win the general classification of the World Cup again this season. Otherwise, she would start and minimize the losses. I`m afraid that this could be a lost season for Vittozzi and without her we basically have no chance for any medal at the World Championships (except maybe Wierer in the individual race).   https://fisi.org/vittozzi-salta-lapertura-di-cdm-a-kontiolahti-rientrera-nella-successiva-tappa-a-hochfilzen/
    • If you hire someone like Wilfried Schneider, your ambitions must be very high. We didn't hire him to take 14th or 15th place in the World Cup or not win a at least one single medal at the Olympic Games in Cortina. The first average Italian coach who would be several times cheaper than a German could guarantee such results. In my opinion we simply miss the final step and a decisive qualitative leap forward, also in terms of technology. The same has been happening in luge for many years, that we are technologically behind Germany, Austria and recently also Latvia.   btw., Margaglio was the 3rd competitor in the general classification of the last World Cup.
