  1. And then you can take that and double it for Brazil..
  2. Hey I've got a Sagan-like bit of facial hair, cool.
  3. Well you've got the info and old results and stuff aren't going anywhere. If you feel like giving up or having no clue what to do with it, just put it aside for a while. There's no specific rush as in "Pacific Games 2009 results have to be up by the end of the month!", so letting it go for a bit and maybe getting a better idea and a fresh start later can be helpful. It's sort of what I do with genealogy: throughout the past 15 years or so I've mostly not been too interested in it, but every now and then - sometimes there's years between it - I get some fresh energy to spend some time on it and continue what I've done before. The files are there, the info is there, it is sort of timeless. Sometimes after a week or so I'm 'done' again and put it aside for a while.
  4. Donar Groningen, Dutch champion three times in the past five seasons, has a new coach: Ivan Rudez of Croatia. @dcro @crovitlaci Is he any good? Also, he apparently used to be national team head coach for....Slovakia @hckosice
  5. I guess whoever made the forum software doesn't have an option 'Go back to a few days ago when everything was perfectly fine'?
  6. At least Magazeev already was doing that since earlier this season. He competed at the summer world championships for Russia 10+ years ago and suddenly appeared this season with two top-5 finishes in Minsk out of totally nowhere
  7. Focused look, balancing the bike, fat wheels (aka MTB wheels)...yeah, that's Sagan 2.0 right there.
  8. How to impress potential dates with your dating profile.
  9. Apparently USADA is going to test home doping controls. Athletes get sent a test kit and deliver urine and/or blood themselves, with a DCO watching via FaceTime or Zoom. Wonderful, peeing in a bottle while making sure everything is positioned right in front of the webcam Once sports restarts, we're going to see incredible times and performances for a while
  10. Yeah it's all a bit fishy, as is tradition when it comes to China
  11. But also 350 or so new cases...we might be starting to see the second wave experts have feared in places with too tight restrictions..
  12. Four in one page/eight hours, that's a bit much guys...
  13. I get that they try and come up with alternative dates, it's fine to have a plan in case it somehow is possible. I'm annoyed though that they don't make it very clear these dates depend entirely on things outside of their own control and are only best-case scenarios.
  14. Yep. Ventilators are actually not too much of a problem here, since they managed to scale up the ICU capacity (which of course includes ventilators), it's not nearly full anymore. Which is good, so far it hasn't really gotten out of control in hospitals, hopefully the current precautions stay in place for a while longer and people keep listening to them as relatively well as they're doing. Face masks, which are needed for people working in healthcare and so on, are a bit of an issue. For example at some of the nursing homes around my town, I've heard people have resigned from working there simply because they couldn't work in a somewhat safe manner due to a lack of PPE and masks.
  15. Plus wearing masks somehow seems to make people think it's ok to not keep distance. Look at idiots from all kinds of governments who are wearing a mask, sure, but are then giving press conferences or making visits or whatnot while basically standing and walking directly next to each other. Wear a mask if you want, sure, but for the love of everything, keep your damn distance from others...including you, presidents and prime ministers and other authority figures. And no, shaking hands - even with gloves and/or a mask - is absolutely not done now.
  16. Oh it really is But... The Plague (French: La Peste) is a novel by Albert Camus, published in 1947, that tells the story of a plague sweeping the French Algerian city of Oran. It asks a number of questions relating to the nature of destiny and the human condition. --- Yeah no thanks, I'm out. I want to read a novel/story, not 'ask questions relating to the nature of this and that'.
  17. Aren't there like a gazillion free cloud services where 25GB or something really is no issue at all? Just save them at two of those
  18. I believe on Wikipedia there's an option to link to sources, right? I think that's how I first heard about LA84. Suggestion: post results on Wikipedia if they aren't there yet, see if you can post the PDF's and stuff and so on somewhere on a Totallympics site, link to the Totallympics site (where all the 'extra' stuff is collected as well) as source on Wikipedia: win-win including some exposure for Totallympics on one of the world's biggest websites
  19. Hold up. His question was, among other things, how to make his collection public, which I just assumed meant 'the largest possible audience' so as many people as possible can enjoy it. Surely it's allowed to answer a question, even if not everyone likes it.
  20. If you want to share them with as many people as possible, put them on Wikipedia. There is no better place for a large collection of results, basically, especially in terms of audience (everyone knows Wikipedia) and how easy it is to use (click on an athlete's name and see their profile, and so on).
  21. "Trump is being more stupid than I am, I'll surpass him." "Mandetta shines more than I do, I'll fire him." It's a rare day when Trump is not being the dumbest and most irresponsible leader of a major country.
  22. Something being a classic doesn't mean everyone would think it's good though Most of these classics sound rather boring to me and I doubt I'll really go and read them @dcro Please do read it and report back
  23. I didn't see the movie and didn't read the book (luckily we didn't really have any forced literature in school ), but I did see the Family Guy episode about it
  24. I'd give you some if I had any other than posting results you have on Wikipedia if they aren't there yet.
