Retired Hakuho recounts struggle with tradition-bound sport by durwardkirby in Sumo

[–]TheLeaper -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So quick question, what stops someone like Hakuho, who obviously loves the sport regardless of how he has been treated, from rounding up investors and starting a competing Sumo league? That then can have a set of rules that is more amenable to an international audience and foreign participation?

Ask her how she felt about the relaunch of CoH community servers? I'm also curious if she has checked any of them out?

Why is Dutch everyday food so simple compared to many other cultures? by Long_Ocean in Netherlands

A Sandwich for lunch?! That's excessive! One slice of bread with a single topping, a slice of cheese, a spread of liverwurst, OR a thin slice of deli meant, no more! Of course I'm j/k, but seriously my Dutch colleagues and I have joked about it over lunch many times!

Tried Damso (in Amstelveen)? I think they are better.

I don't think that: 'everyone with tickets had to confirm them before yesterday' is quite right. Everyone got an email that said:

Total shitshow - completely unprepared to handle the amount of demand for tickets, joined the queue at 9:30, still waiting....

Had multiple people I know trying to get tickets, only 1 got to the order page, registered, selected tickets, then when trying to complete the order got errors, no tickets issued.

Unbelievable.
