That's not exactly a thing one could bet over/under on I mean, it happens or it doesn't happen (and it will), the over/under would be on the number of nations participating

Takanashi once completely dominated the sport, now this is only her first win in a year and her second in two years How times can change, especially in ski jumping

Hard to believe after his epic season in 2015/16, but this was P Prevc's first win in more than three years

Yeah, not exactly surprising from the country of leprechauns

I can't take that man, this weightlifting already will miss like half of the best in the world because of those dumb rules where even 1 athlete per nation per event is not possible, missing Om is going to be too much

Yes, Make Deadly Diseases Great Again will make for good hats

But that would be stupid. It'd be like from now on calling show jumping 'the equestrian' and totally ignore dressage and eventing 'because who cares about them?' And it should be 19, since 2019 is when it popped up.

I have no problem both on my phone (Chrome) and laptop (Chrome)

Yeah, it's really not complicated, I'm getting annoyed by all the Dutch people mixing everything up and saying how confusing it is...it's not 1. The virus is a coronavirus, one of many. 2. It's a new - or, novel - coronavirus, hence the original temporary name of 2019-nCoV. 3. That virus got it's more final name of SARS-CoV-2 after the needed research to see what it does. 4. The disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 was called COVID-19, of which you explained the abbreviation already. How can this be complicated for so many people in this country?

To be fair, that shouldn't be a debate at all, since any civilization basically needs both in one form or anothher

Ah, my eternal enemy at the school level before university (which I didn't go to). Fuck you, mathematics.

Is there a field you think you can not do?

Test administrator at Pearson VUE https://home.pearsonvue.com/ Although that's because the place where I study has an exam center for people to easily make exams there, so instead of a paid job for me it's mostly an excellent opportunity to study all day and in the meantime check people in and out for their exams and pay attention they're not cheating or something. Pretty soon it's possibly going to move to something more like a real 3-month traineeship somewhere, potentially as a step to working there, in the field of system administration.

I'm confused though. Here they say "everyone has to stay home in Italy", but people are allowed to go to work sort of normally or what?

And apparently they locked down Totallympics too for a minute

What is?

And that would be even 100 times worse if we're now going to say "forget it, let's let it run it's course".

Congratulations, you steal the 'Worst Idea of the Year' award right out of ISU's hands.

At the end of today's press conference, in which the biggest announcement was "from now on there's no shaking hands in the Netherlands anymore" (left is the prime minister, right is the head of the 'health authority'):

Too bad it wouldn't have worked because humans are goddamn stubborn

On a Dutch forum there's been a little meme going around these days about Milan actually, with people saying stuff like "But in Milan everything is perfectly normal, children are playing on the streets and life is happy" since one person - who claimed he had a friend living there - said there was nothing going on there

Yeah I don't know man "You can kiss feet, bump elbows, whatever you want, just don't shake hands." I've got a rather important interview Wednesday morning. Let's see if I'll make a good impression when I enter the room, take off my shoes and put my feet on the table for them to kiss 'because the prime minister said so'.

Oh, and stuff about the economy.

Prime minister: "We're still in the phase of trying to contain it, of course we hope to stay in this phase and not go to a more emergency situation." Some more things: - Adhere to basic hygiene rules - Sneeze in your elbow, use paper towels "And from this moment on, we are no longer shaking hands in the Netherlands. You can bump elbows, you can kiss feet, but we're not shaking hands anymore." We keep on doing nothing

I don't know how many you've typed, but I see five
