  1. Has there been an update to forum software? Some things look ever so slightly different
  2. *Kensington has left the chat
  3. Mathieu van der Poel got injured? Schurter is a challenge for him, sometimes, but he wipes the floor with Flückiger and especially Avancini
  4. It's 2020, year of the presidential elections, and you've got two more or less senile candidates battling each other. What a party this is gonna be.
  5. Because all 40 or so of them were admitted mostly before the scaling up of IC beds in the Netherlands really got underway (if you've got roughly 1200 IC beds that doesn't mean you can take on 1200 COVID-19 patients in need of IC, since there's are of course also beds needed for regular stuff like accidents). Apart from that, it was also done to keep a bit of pressure off of the healthcare workers - since there was plenty of space in Germany, so this was not a problem for them. And it was simply better to bring them to Germany than move them all the way to the north of the Netherlands, which would be a longer trip for these people (most of whom are patients from the border region), since in the south the hospitals - especially at that time - were in fact as good as full.
  6. Mississippi was targeted big time by tornadoes yesterday, damn. At least 8 deaths and there's still places with basically no contact (like tiny Bassfield where what looked like an EF5 tornado, the strongest category, passed right over it, and so far only a few photos of total destruction appeared).
  7. They are not, no. As of now there are roughly 1400 people in intensive care, which is around 250 more than the number of available beds before all this. Since people saw a rise coming of course, they tried to stretch the capability to at least 2400, which I think more or less worked out, and the expected peak of 2000+ didn't happen (yet?), so although it is of course hard work, ICU's are still being able to keep up and numbers have been slowly going down for a couple days.
  8. One would assume that's allowed once the event is over We waited until after the closing ceremony and all
  9. https://www.britannica.com/place/Central-America Central America, the southernmost region of North America. Not a continent.
  10. Not really Central America is generally not considered a separate continent, and it's definitely not part of South America Saying Slovakia is in Eastern Europe is more like saying Suriname is in Central America
  11. "What happened in the 90's?" YouTube was founded Viagra was brought on the market Gorbachev introduced 'perestroika'
  12. Which of the following sports has an official underwater version? Skiing Hockey Volleybal Long jump (long jump is no sport, but an event, and same can be said sort of about the generic 'skiing', but fine ) I knew that one
  13. Most people went for South America, but it's North, since Central is counted as North (they didn't mention that earlier of course ) Ace is correct, glory hole is a little different.... (I'd suggest not googling it when at work) Dances are right
  14. Ah, commercials Make the dances fit with the countries: Dances: Foxtrot, lambada, tango Countries: Argentina, USA, Brazil What's another name for a hole-in-one in golf? Grand slam, glory hole, ace Some specific Dutch things as well, like who wrote the constitution.
  15. Yes but it's going too fast to post them I'll see which I remember Quickly one now: "North America has more inhabitants than South America. True or False?"
  16. Watching a weekly quiz on TV in which one can play with an app at home (the app reacts to the TV's sound) I had no idea this existed until my sister told me yesterday, as alternative for me obviously watching sports normally on every Sunday evening (and morning and afternoon)
  17. That old guy with his weird southern (absolutely not Amsterdam) pronounciation of 'Van Gogh'
  18. If I knew you'd put me in there as Rösch, I'd have given Croatia points. Rösch
  19. Colby Cave of the Edmonton Oilers has died, aged only 25. Earlier in the week he suffered a brain bleed due to a sort of tumor in his head, and after a few days in coma, he passed away yesterday. https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/edmonton-oilers-colby-cave-1.5529808
  20. Why leave a country like Australia if you're living there? Honestly I'm fairly sure I'd rather stay there than go to India and wait for a virus to spread around there..
  21. Damn, good way to get arrested for assault if you try to pull that here
  22. Get a garden hose hooked up and if some unlucky female soul happens to wander too close by, open fire
  23. I'm watching Istiqlol Dushanbe vs CSKA Pomir Dushanbe live in the Tajik League (football) that begun a week or two ago. There's a banner in the stadium that I thought was pretty cool, because it says "Stay strong, Spain! Tajikistan is praying for you!"
