Meanwhile, it's about 7 hours to go until we can really start getting some first results other than the 3-3 in Dixville Notch :p 

 

This is more or less what we're going to start the night with, but probably it's going to come down to Pennsylvania in the end.

Huh, there's still countries buying F-16's? :d 

 

Coincidentally we said goodbye to our last ones a little over a month ago (Belgian ones are still sometimes flying here though).

I dont have doubts: the F16 are old fighter for NATO standarts........but in Latin America is one of the moderns fighters a country in this part of the world has and in our case we pass  to dont have fighters at all (since 2018) to have fourth generation fighters for the first time ever, is a big and good change.

Any news yet on all the celebrities who promised to flee the US actually fleeing?  Any of our Canadian friends spotting unexpected private jet activity?

 

I have stolen this one - the Amish are partying like it's 1799!

Yeah, but all the smart people got out of Europe well before 1/9/1939.  Don't leave it too late guys, or you will have to live in the slummy parts of New Zealand!

Don't attack Brazil though, I recently found out they have - and are getting more - Gripens :bowdown: 

 

How I still wish I could one day see a Draken fly, definitely my number two favourite behind the SR-71 (which I can't forgive my dad about...he once was at an airshow where it flew, long ago, but decided to leave to catch the boat back home and only saw it's shadow...come on man!).

Well, given the closing ads Trump made it pretty clear that his vision of America has no room for the "them/thems" so... might very seriously look at moving 200 miles North. Unfortunate that my fellow citizens hate people who aren't gender conforming.

 

(Perk of having two passports I guess)

    • I'm attempting to create a medal projector for the 2026 Olympics. Instead of just listing the top 3 favourites I wanted to give a percentage athletes have to win a medal. My first events completed were downhill, here are the top 10.   Men's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Marco Odermatt 17% 14% 10% 41%  Franjo Von Allmen 17% 11% 9% 37%  Alexis Monney 10% 9% 9% 28%  Miha Hrobat 8% 9% 8% 25%  Cameron Alexander 7% 9% 7% 23%  Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 7% 6% 20%  Justin Murisier 6% 7% 6% 19%  Dominik Paris 5% 5% 6% 16%  Daniel Hemetsberger 5% 4% 5% 14%  James Crawford 3% 4% 5% 12%     Women's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Sofia Goggia 27% 15% 12% 54%  Ester Ledecka 13% 11% 9% 33%  Cornelia Huetter 12% 11% 8% 31%  Federica Brignone 11% 12% 11% 34%  Lauren Macuga 9% 9% 8% 26%  Lara Gut-Behrami 6% 8% 9% 23%  Breezy Johnson 5% 7% 7% 19%  Corinne Suter 5% 7% 6% 18%  Laura Pirovano 2% 3% 5% 10%  Marta Bassino 2% 3% 4% 9%   In order to prevent my computer from dying I only ran the simulation 1000 times so no tenth of a percentage is listed. For nations with many athletes I just took the four highest ranked athletes as per event rules and removed the rest. Eventually as NOCs announce their teams I can refine it properly.   Any surprises?

    • They did what the Italians should do, but unfortunately Giacomel has been too inconsistent this season. He has great performances but makes inexplicable mistakes. In any case, Italian biathlon without Vittozzi in great form can count on single podiums at major events at best, nothing more.
