    Howden is out in the QF

    Cassie Sharp has not been medically cleared for the finals of the women’s half pipe tonight.

    Eh, the coffee in Milan isn’t really any better than the coffee I’ve had in Seattle or Dallas (and still haven’t found a spot as good as the best coffee shop I went to in Tokyo). It’s cheaper tho! The main issue with good coffee in the US is that it’s very much a luxury good. I’ve paid more than 10€ (inc tax and tip) for coffee in Seattle >.>

    You do definitively feel the Italian influence in New Jersey. Italian Americans have a pretty interesting culture.

    I don’t get the dislike for Hawaiian pizza (another weirdly named pizza, it’s a Canadian thing) tbh. Ham and pineapple is a classic combo for a reason, ham needs some sweetness and acidity to taste good.

    Oh buddy, how high do you want it to be? Every grocery store (in states that allow the sell of alcohol in grocery stores >.> ) is gonna have beers in the 10-12% range, highest I’ve had personally was 20% but that’s obviously exceptional.
  7. NearPup
    This is actually one of the biggest misconception I had before moving to the US. America may actually have the best beer market in the world, they just don’t export hardly any of the good stuff. Virtually any kind of beer in existence you’ll find a local brewery in every major city that makes a good version of it. You just have to ignore anything brewed by the big players.

    It’s typically American if your only exposure to America is central New Jersey :P (I actually like New Jersey, but it def has by far the trashiest food culture in the US)

    Also random, but am in a pizza place on my way back from short track and… why the fuck does "pizza Americana" have fries on it? Americans would not be caught dead putting fries on pizza xD

    At this point it’s hard to imagine there isn’t something quite wrong with her approach or mindset. I remember listening to her pre-games interview with Inside Curling and something about her whole demeanor just did not inspire confidence.
  11. NearPup
    Last I heard from her she was facing criminal charges for kidnapping her kid so not the best

    I mean, how many non-Euro countries won medals in Biathlon? Maybe we should look at that next :P
  13. NearPup
    More like nightmare matchup, given the political climate
  14. NearPup
    Yes
  15. NearPup
    Ya that makes for grim reading… we’ll be lucky to end with six golds.

    I feel like the only real hope there is some infrastructure spending package designed to make Alberta happy. Maybe as a sweetener for something else.

    Rebuilding the ski jumps in Calgary would also be a big help. And we’ll probably need to do big renovations to the Calgary Olympic ring soon too.

    Are Americans refuse to acknowledge Krueger because he later went to ?
  19. NearPup
    Sliding sports are kinda doomed until they rebuild the track in Calgary.
  20. NearPup
    I mean sure but lack of AC is why so many people die from heat waves in Europe.
  21. NearPup
    Ya, this is a great point. Sports like hockey are getting increasingly in accessible for kids who aren’t from well off families, and nothing is being done to bring in kids from non-white backgrounds into the sport. We see losing out on a ton of talent as a result.
  22. NearPup
    Random aside, but why do the various Italian law enforcements / military units participating in the medal ceremonies have such… basic dress uniforms (with apologies to the Alpini and their cool feather)? Feels very un-Italian.
  23. NearPup
    Also congrats on the men for getting out of military service, the real prize on offer for them xD
  24. NearPup
    Not mathematically possible :P

    They are gearing up to play the Max Verstappen anthem again.
