  1. I can hardly think of one, let alone multiple...let alone multiple from only the past year or so Now I'm curious which ones you have in mind though
  2. As long as it's not on Thursday (update night at work), it'll be fine
  3. Thanks, now I really want to know the answer to this Oh @Dragon!
  4. We had some snow yesterday as well (and possibly tomorrow again), which was...interesting Sadly not enough to actually do something with it apart from making one single ball. I thought it was a lot more rare than it apparently is though, especially in the 20th century it was way more common to have snow in April than to not have snow in April
  5. About the tiebreakers: now I am noticing why the graphics seem to be wrong all the time...they are not only ignoring the B group, but also using body weight as tiebreakers For example after the women's 59kg snatch, this is the top-3: 1. Tchakounte (95kg, BW 58.66kg) 2. Kostova and Te (both 95kg, both BW 58.74kg) Where an actual tie is of course by definition impossible if they actually use the lifting order, since nobody lifts at the same time Surely the lifting order is used in official results, but it's weird that the graphics use the old system
  6. Are they actually being sold and delivered already? It looks pretty cool (although sadly my wallet doesn't yet agree ) Asking because I read this in the FAQ:
  7. No Om Yun-chol, screw these Olympics
  8. Another fun fact: the B group results are entirely ignored in the graphics So if someone has a lift that would bring them to 1st in the A group, but still behind the B group winner, the graphics say they're in 1st place anyway
  9. Yeah exactly, that's what I thought. Alright, so that means (not so surprising I guess) that the official graphics are wrong What a mess.
  10. What is the rule for tiebreakers in the total? For example lifter A snatched 84kg, lifter B snatched 83kg. In CJ lifter A starts with and succeeds at 102kg, bringing her to 186kg. She is immediately followed by lifter B, who succeeds at 103kg, also bringing her to 186kg. I used to think the priority went to whoever lifted it first (ever since the body weight is not the tiebreaker anymore), but apparently lifter B is in front in the total in this case. Why? Is CJ given priority over snatch? That'd be weird..
  11. Right, as long as the paper ballots are stored somewhere, it's sort of fine. The main problem is if voting is done only through a machine, without any paper involved, and the vote only consists of a few bits in a machine and that's it, without any sort of auditing possibilities.
  12. And I am assuming the vote is then stored digitally?
  13. Probably because a lot of people think "oh cool!" and don't realize it's not actually 'cool', but unsafe
  14. That seems smart. So far machines are simply more unsafe than paper and one can wonder if that will really ever change.
  15. Quartararo takes the win, double podium for the Pramac boys. What a race
  16. Oliveira's KTM absolutely rocketed away
  17. Lowes won the second race in the Moto2 as well, Gardner made a mistake in the last corner which cost him a chance to take the win. MotoGP now with the satellite (Pramac) Ducati's on front row
  18. I do know I have had this problem exactly once before (if I'm not mistaken)....with a certain Polish user....a certain rybak as well
  19. Voted And because half my songs should have ended up higher but couldn't.
  20. I'll wait and see what @Sindo says first, I should be able to message you
  21. Double win for Cambridge it is.
