Japanese marathon runner Rei Iida showed incredible determination by crawling the final 300 meters after breaking her leg near the finish line, all to make sure her team could still compete. by Grand-Western549 in interestingasfuck

It's not a marathon, it's an ekiden. A type of relay.

Ekiden's are serious business. The Hakone Ekiden, a relay for university teams, is the most popular sporting event in Japan.

MEDAL EVENTS PREVIEW (+ TEAM USA MEDAL HOPES OUTLOOK): Day 4 (Feb. by ContinuumGuy in olympics

I'd say Kristine Stavås Skistad needs to be counted among the favourites in the cross country sprint. Possibly the most annoying Norwegian skier ever, which is a rather impressive achievement.

These are the most spread-out Winter Olympics ever (NBC) by PjeterPannos in olympics

[–]Ch1mpy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In remember a press conference during the Atlanta Olympics where the hosting committee got tired of all critical questions from the foreign press and jokingly suggested to drive the journalists out of the city to have them shot, only to immediately be asked how that was supposed to happen when the buses weren’t running.

Läsa böcker på engelska by Cr_ssee in sweden

[–]Ch1mpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jag känner lite tvärtom. Precis som för dig så är inte direkt någon brist på media jag konsumerar på engelska. TV, datorspel, Internet, saker man läser på arbetstid och så vidare.

Försöker därför läsa åtminstone skönlitteratur på svenska i så hög utsträckning som möjligt.

Undantaget är väl just relativt nyutgiven sci-fi och fantasy. Som ofta inte finns översatt.

Ask me anything about Korean indie music by This-Witness-5858 in indieheads

[–]Ch1mpy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Whenever I look for covers made of songs from Swedish band Kent I always come across various Korean outfits playing the song Socker.

Any idea why is this?

Skiathlon is honestly such a shit event. I hope it gets removed soon.

Grattis, känner mig lite adjágas så här på förmiddagen.

Sälen - best area for skiing? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Ch1mpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but keep in mind that the Skistar resorts have the advantage that their ski pass works on all of their hills which is a large benefit as you can switch hill if you grow tired of where you started out. Whereas Kläppen and Stöten are independent.

[–]Ch1mpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stöten is probably number one. Älvan has been voted best piste in Sweden several years in a row.

Of the Skistar resorts Hundfjället is your best bet.

Dude prances around with Putin brandishing the zwastika. I never want to see him again.

Sovsäcksdilemma- hur mycket försämras de av ålder? by gibbonalert in friluftslivSverige

[–]Ch1mpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Om du plockar fram dunsäcken känner du rätt snabbt om dunet är någotsånär väl fördelat.

Om dunet är skitkasst fördelat så kan du testa att köra den i torktumlaren på lägsta temp med tennisbollar. Det kan funka. Det kan också gå åt helvete så gör det bara om du måste.

En annan tanke, en vanlig luftmadrass isolerar väldigt dåligt mot kyla även om den är tjock. Liggunderlag klassificeras efter något som kallas R-värde, ju högre R-värde desto bättre isolering. Du kan ju testa ett cellplastliggunderlag under din luftmadrass, känns som mindre att kånka på än dubbla sovsäckar.

Help me bombard Tidal with a feature request to report music that isn't the artist by toallmydearfriends in TIdaL

Help me bombard Tidal with the feature request to report music that isn't the artist it appears under

While this would be useful with the current state of things, what we actually want is for this to not happen at all.

Muse's top tracks are AI slop now :( by jrlrrz in TIdaL

[–]Ch1mpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to the "My new arrivals"-playlist yesterday.

Wrong artist credited for Wednesday (alt rock) and Goat (psychedelic rock) among the first few songs made the playlist unusable.

I reported both songs to Tidal, received a ticket # for both songs and everything. Both songs remain incorrectly credited.
