The Hungarian government has found another way to spend EU money (I guess).

 

Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten had this ad today:

 

 

Any other countries seeing this?

It's also in Spain. I guess this is Orbán's next step after all the drama of the last few weeks. Orbán loves to be at war against something, it was Soros and migration for the 2018 election. I think now everyone can guess what's his war is for 2022 and it isn't just about an anti-LGBT law.

Meanwhile quietly Fidesz has made a foundation for Fudan, making it clear that the Chinese university is here to stay and will increase our debt to China significantly. But everyone is too busy to fight over LGBT rights to actually care about something can have much more serious consequences for both Hungary and the EU.

Fudan is top3 university in China and the best one in Shanghai, dream university for almost every Chinese student. Graduates from there are elites in China, quite jealous for me.

It's really not about that I don't want a Chinese university, it's the massive loan that we are paying is what bothers me. I would be similarly upset if we would be paying the same amount to any other foreign power because I know that our debt is growing and at some point it will break the country. I don't blame the Chinese for this, it's all on our government who doesn't think in the long term and just want to get even more rich quick.

Today starts (or still started) the Budapest Pride which will finish almost a month later in the "homophobic" Hungarian capital!

They fight for the "acceptance". Do we really have to tolerate their provocations? Is this the right way for the "acceptance"?

Meanwhile British Secretary of Health has resigned after breaking social distancing rules and coming out as a cheater. Add some nepotism as his lover was appointed to Department of Health few months ago.

 

Same old bullshit in politics :coffee:

    • TISC Annual 2025 - Voting Order & Provisional Grand Final Date     I have arranged a voting schedule for the upcoming TISC Annual 2025. Please see your jury's designated voting time in the table below. For convenience I have included a column showing the host country time in GMT and the local time for each jury based on their specific time-zone.   Please check to ensure the local time shown is correct as mistakes can happen!   Fortunately I have only had to make one swap to ensure every jury has a voting window within a reasonable time in their local time. That was achieved by swapping and . China will now vote in position #12 while moves to position #25.   For any juries who cannot personally deliver their votes during the live Grand Final, I will post their votes on their behalf.   Now that I have the voting schedule, I can begin work on the voting and scoreboard templates.   The provisional date I am setting for the Grand Final - Saturday 17th January. That's just under 3 weeks from now which I feel is necessary to allow enough time for me to fit in all the preparations around the holidays and an upcoming exam!     Session 1 Host Time (GMT) Local Time Jury Voting 09:00 10:00 Denmark 09:10 10:10 Sweden 09:20 10:20 Slovakia 09:30 16:30 Indonesia 09:40 09:40 Great Britain 09:50 10:50 Italy 10:00 11:00 Spain 10:10 15:10 Kazakhstan Break 10:20 - 12:00 GMT Session 2 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 12:00 14:00 Ukraine 12:10 14:10 Bulgaria 12:20 13:20 Germany 12:30 20:30 China 12:40 13:40 France 12:50 18:20 India 13:00 14:00 Tunisia 13:10 13:10 Portugal 13:20 15:20 Greece Break 13:30 - 16:00 GMT Session 3 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 16:00 18:00 Israel 16:10 17:10 Serbia 16:20 18:20 Romania 16:30 13:30 Brazil 16:40 17:40 Poland 16:50 10:50 Mexico 17:00 18:00 Netherlands 17:10 12:10 United States 17:20 18:20 Slovenia Break 17:30 - 19:00 GMT Session 4 Host Time Local Time Jury Voting 19:00 22:00 Turkey 19:10 20:10 Albania 19:20 20:20 Malta 19:30 19:30 Ireland 19:40 16:40 Argentina 19:50 21:50 Lithuania 20:00 14:00 Guatemala 20:10 12:10 Canada    
    • @intoronto @Micki @evil betty thanks for giving me to know that and all of you did answering in the same moment 
    • Okay, thanks. I saw that too and could not make any sense out of it but I don't know enough about ski jumping. 
    • Nathan Crumpton has not competed in skeleton since the 2022, is a sprinter now.  Carlos Maeder competed last time in alpine, is 47 now and skiied last april and was far outside being good enough.  is still possible.
    • Yeah, American Samoa has snowboarder Kanoe Pelfrey, but I don’t think she’ll qualify in halfpipe. Ghana has skeleton athlete Akwasi Frimpong, but it will be difficult for him too.
    • has a snowboarder, unlikely to qualify. Same with in skeleton.  has capability of qualifying in alpine skiing, but they are on the outside looking in right now.
    • It looks like a problem at the FIS website. The same problem occurs in their cup standings tab where the points don't add up for some reason: https://www.fis-ski.com/DB/ski-jumping/cup-standings.html?sectorcode=JP&seasoncode=2026&cupcode=COC&disciplinecode=ALL&gendercode=M&nationcode=
    • In comparsion to 2022 we are still missing some countries, those like  and  are and will be missing under their flags by obvious reasons, an athlete from  is retired, either of  or  will get quota in skeleton, but what about  and  ? 
    • I am puzzled by the olympic rankings for the guys competing at the continental cup level. Why are the 'winter cup' points not being added to their ranking score? For instance David Rygl is shown on the olympic lists as being 144th with 2 points from the continental cup, his bio says that he has 2 summer points and 16 winter points, but under 'all' just 2. Do some winter points not count or something?
    • but the 1/8 vs Senegal or RDC , both are very strong ... the team was not convincing until now , pretty random game
