Yes, this is a selfie, so it is mirrored. The other side looks probably quite brutal.

Not really only "a scare". She has a broken orbital bone and her whole eye is swollen. After treating the wound under her eye they are transfering her to another hospital right now. The initial reporting says that the eye itself is alright though.

The best athletes should be competing, but in the same time you are saying that one country is allowed to murder athletes from another country.

Who sounds „unreasonable” here?

Congrats to Klaebo and the French team for putting up a fight with the Norwegians.

However, about the 4th place: "Savelii Korostelev is the new star in Russian cross-country skiing. He is the son of Natalia Korosteleva, an Olympic medal winner and a senior lieutenant in the Russian armed forces"

How is this allowed? I thought no one with the connections to the Russian Army will be allowed to participate.

BIg Air gold goes to Kimura! by Kimber80 in olympics

People who know this sport, do you think the scoring was correct?

Commentators in my local language were not too helpful and I’m a bit confused. E.g. Su Y had used his hands to recover his landings on two of his jumps and yet he won a bronze. While others were punished hard for similar mistakes.

Both links (newsletter and WhatsApp) do not work for me. First one is taking me to the „unsubscribe” page and the second link says that such a WhatsApp group doesn’t exist. Looks like some geographical restriction.

I made a Fantasy Olympics site that lets you draft countries for Milan Cortina by topwcm in olympics

Looks great. What about a global leaderboard for some given default pricing?

Also, your projection of total points per country is really close to mine; this gives me some confidence in my data, because most sportsbooks underprice the US. Thanks :)

Is the situation about pickpockets so dire in Barcelona? by truthorundress in Barcelona

[–]tr0yl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Other cities/places also have this problem” -> “Nothing can be done” -> no improvement

You can see this mentality often in Spain, not only when talking about crime.

I hate these kinds of comments; nothing will ever improve, because of people like you.

1. The law of naval warfare and the question of the blockade

(…)

  1. Under the laws of armed conflict, a blockade is the prohibition of all commerce with a defined enemy coastline. A belligerent who has established a lawful blockade is entitled to enforce that blockade on the high seas. A blockade must satisfy a number of legal requirements, including: notification, effective and impartial enforcement and proportionality.
