  1. I always get so goddamn tired whenever Van Jones opens his mouth.
  2. I don't know which CNN you are watching, but here they made pretty clear the country was rather divided
  3. Sure, recount them if there is a significant shred of evidence for that.
  4. Fantastic attempt, great and very deserved show of respect from Roglic to Carapaz after the finish.
  5. But there is absolutely no serious sign of that at all. And the 'magic turnarounds' he keeps mentioning are not magic at all and very easily explained, but his fans simply refuse to listen to that. Also, they somehow ignore Ohio.
  6. Hahahaha, he really doesn't know when to stop Press conference coming up in less than an hour from his camp, that's going to once again be both hilarious and an incredibly blatant attack on democracy no doubt.
  7. But where? There doesn't really seem to be any realistic place for an attack on this climb. Nobody wants to go too early and after that the parts to make significant differences are done.
  8. So far nothing of note is happening in the final serious stage of the Vuelta, with a little over 30k to go. There's a fairly hard climb to finish it off, but everyone except for the organizers is expecting not much to happen there neither, let's see.
  9. Biesiekirski (Sure, it was wet and half the field didn't set a time, but still)

  11. Just to be clear about one thing, by the way: I've had no requests about schedule changes and I have started the brain-killing process of preparing templates, so...no more schedule changes are allowed
  12. Ah, right, totally forgot (like almost all darts this year ), thanks! Oh it's already over I see
  13. @hckosice I know the Netherlands isn't big, and the big beaches we do have are all half-German beaches at the North Sea, but the bit of beaches one can find on the Veluwe are in Nunspeet and that's why I placed you there/here, so I hope you'll enjoy your stay It was a choice between Nunspeet and Staverden (where there's a brewery), but since Staverden has no beaches but Nunspeet does have a very nice local liquor store - run by an old and incredibly friendly woman who by now has probably given me at least a hundred euro of free stuff 'just because' - so I picked Nunspeet for you
  14. Whereas I am quite happy about it, since tomorrow morning I'm probably off to the forest (and/or one of those big sand areas mentioned before) to try and spot some wildlife
  15. Delegation location 10 - Nunspeet It's taken a little while, but finally we have arrived at the tenth and last of the delegation locations. We find ourselves on the very northern edge of the Veluwe in what the Dutch host delegation unanimously voted the best place to live in in all of the Netherlands: Nunspeet, home to a little under 28 thousand people. Nunspeet is the overarching municipality under which Vierhouten falls, and apart from Nunspeet proper there are a few more of these small towns around. It is a fairly popular tourist destination in the summer, since one goes south for a few minutes and stands in the forests, but there's also the Veluwe Lake to the north, a wonderful place to put on the ice skates...if ever there's a real winter again. The Veluwe Lake, where one can enjoy wildlife of a certain ornithological kind, or a certain avian variety - plus it's great ice skating if it gets frozen! Nunspeet was part of Ermelo long before the year 1000, just like Harderwijk. In the centuries after that however, Nunspeet developed into a more important location and since 1972 it is it's very own municipality. During the summer, the little lake the Zandenplas and it's beaches are very popular among locals, perfectly situated in the forest. It ain't big, but it's got beaches and the smell of the forest, what more would one like apart from not having sand everywhere? A local legend is about a woman called Eibertje. She lived in Vierhouten in the early 19th century and used to walk to the market in Nunspeet every week to sell eggs. She had to walk through a forest which locals deemed dangerous: ghosts, evil spirits and even Satan himself was said to live there. Eibertje kept on walking though and through the years, a path was created this way: the Eibertjespad, Eibertje's Path. One can still walk from Nunspeet to Vierhouten this way nowadays, or take the bike...but cycling would be too fast to hear Eibertje's (friendly!) whispers coming from the trees. Nowadays there's asphalt on most of Eibertje's Pad, but walking in the area is still an excellent bit of leasure time Another big local thing is the Round House, which once stood there until halfway in the 20th century. There's all kinds of conspiracy theories surrounding this house, which was built in the early 20th century. The conspiracy theories are truly wild and revolve around a sort of elite group - including royals - who brought young girls there to abuse while deciding the fate of the country. Oh yeah, you read that right, Nunspeet basically has it's very own Pizza Gate, long before the Americans did! The Round House, the location of which - though hard to find exactly - can still be visited somewhere in the forest, if you know where to look...which a lot of digging conspiracy theorists do Nunspeet is a part of the Bible Belt of the Netherlands, where the by far most strictly religious party is voted the biggest in national elections year after year. One can forgive Nunspeet this minor issue, the nature surrounding the village is truly wonderful...and there's a tower! There you go, Nunspeet, which by the way was liberated by the Canadians in the Second World War. There wasn't a whole lot of fighting done anymore here, but the Canadian tanks rolling in from Harderwijk were greeted warmly, before moving along to Elburg. The Canadians were very welcome in 1945, and still are! Delegations in Nunspeet Canada Great Britain Slovakia Netherlands
  16. Another sign why people saying "Biden got more votes than Obama in his landslide win, and all of that with tiny rallies...suspicious!" are just so incredibly dumb I mean, there's an insane turnout. Of course Biden is going to get more votes than Obama if he doesn't entirely waste the election. Talking about the tiny rallies (which made sense, since holding big rallies is rather dumb this year)....I see we're missing a user who has been obsessed with that for the past few weeks and has been quiet ever since Biden started turning it around
  17. And bullshit like this is pretty funny too, it's like people somehow missed everything and think this really is a sign of a conspiracy
  18. To be fair, he won't lose solely thanks to that, Georgia just happens to be one of the last states to be decided That's like saying Real Madrid lost the title because of a draw against Getafe in the last round or something, but in reality they'd have just lost the title because they didn't get enough points in the whole thing
  19. Oh absolutely, and that was as much bullshit as this is. Although one must say that Clinton - I believe - conceded fairly quickly and that was it from her side, whereas Trump is basically flailing left and right and spewing nonsense and just absolutely refusing to acknowledge anything. The potential unrest - which hopefully won't really happen - would be nearly literally incited by the president himself.
