Gonna be a long afternoon/evening in Texas and some states near and to the east of it. Very severe tornado warnings, the first ones have hit with at least three injured.

Aaaand it's cancelled

The first race in Assen is being delayed and delayed (and by the looks of it, cancelled)........because of snow and generally freezing weather

Semi-Dutch

Stefke sounds as Frisian a name as one can get

Yep. Leading the snatch with 147kg against 146kg for second place, after which he tried 154 (WR)....followed by three misses on CJ

Just to clarify, because the Dutch commentators are more than once saying some things that just make no sense at all: is Daniyar Ismayilov indeed 100% certain to miss the Olympics because of his failure?

So basically they are like 3rd division champions now?

Thanks What did they win?

Well yeah, that's what happens when literally more than a billion people live in one country where there's also predators like leopards

It's usually Brazil vs Argentina vs Chile I've never heard biathletes from 'bigger' nations being there, and I'm sure if they were there, I would be told because that'd be cool

Both side boosters landed beautifully on land, the center booster landed on the drone ship....That. Was. Awesome!

Second launch ever (first commercial one ever after last year's test flight) of the Falcon Heavy rocket is happening in a few minutes

I would be so much in favor of some sort of swimming kabaddi

That's too early It's always in August or September, usually in Bariloche (ARG) or Portillo (CHI). For this year if I'm looking at the schedule right, 8-13 August it's in Portillo and 19-23 August it's in Bariloche (it's held in two separate stages).

Yes, and it has around 8 billion events already, so if events are going to be added, surely some others should be taken out.

Yeah and Al-Bashir's vice-president is now holding the cards. I'm sure the people seem generally pleased for now, but I'd say it is extremely unlikely all of this will result in even a 1% stable country. It's been a huge mess with coups, dictators, more coups and counter-coups ever since it's independence and today is pretty much proof that's exactly still the case. Just a matter of waiting for the next coup and/or civil war against the 'new' regime (which is basically just the old stuff but with a different name). I'd very much love to be wrong, but it's gonna stay terrible. Al-Bashir or no Al-Bashir.

One week = 168 hours A regular job is not. There you go

Meh, the Netherlands controlled the first match against Slovenia (double semi-finalist at the last two world champs...), but in literally the last minute the Slovenians got their first advantage and managed to hold on to it 26-27

That beard

Julian Assange has been arrested in the Ecuadorian embassy. That's the end of that

Coup in Sudan, etc. Marching music has been played on the radio all day long so far and it is freaking awful. https://raddio.net/2593-sudan-national-radio-corporation/ Worst. Marching. Music. Ever.

Not sure what it is but it looks potentially really good

I'm feeling dumb now but I don't understand what you mean An emotional war? You mean in/around Israel?
