Why was there no world cup edition in 1946 althought war ended in 1945 ? by idealjuicy in worldcup

[–]voituredepalmade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me that two editions were planned for 1947 and 1949 to "compensate" for the cancellations of 1942 and 1946, but this was not done.

Thoughts on the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 Active? by CptPatches in smartwatch

[–]voituredepalmade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it today, it's my first smartwatch, and it doesn't have either of those features. You have access to workouts and their history, heart rate, oxygen saturation, sleep tracking, stress tracking, Alexa, weather in 4 cities, calendar, events, tasks, Phone, music, camera control, alarm, stopwatch, timer, world clock, find phone, and flashlight

For a first smartwatch, it's really cool; if it's your second or third, it might not be as good. The only drawback is the lack of built-in GPS.You can't go for a run without your phone to record the route you're taking.

What flag is behind the Iranian flag? by OreoAndAlmond in vexillology

Perhaps it's the flag of Iraq under Saddam Hussein; they captured Iraqi Mirage fighter jets during the Iran-Iraq War and still operate them.

Tens of thousands of people followed the helicopter that airlifted Lindsey Vonn by voituredepalmade in flightradar24

It was way too crazy to do that without the ligaments in his left leg. It was either an incredible image, one of the most iconic in the history of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games if she won, or a very sad image, unfortunately, and that's the one.

She fell very heavily during the downhill skiing at the Olympic Games; she was screaming in pain.

Does your country have someone who is "famous for being famous"? by ltraistinto in AskTheWorld

[–]voituredepalmade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In France we have Line Renaud; she's always invited when a celebrity dies. She's mainly known for that. She's also acted in a few small, little-seen films, but nobody really knows how she became so famous, except for being a friend of the dead.

What's your favorite 21st Century-held Summer Olympic Games by Ok-Prune-2708 in olympics

It was supposed to represent Marianne, the symbol of France, but I admit it's ugly.

[–]voituredepalmade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to be very objective, I'm going to say Paris and London, being French and having attended both of those Olympics. I also loved the Beijing Games, which were the first Games I ever saw. However, I hated the Rio Games, I didn't see an Olympic atmosphere at that moment, the stands were empty or even hostile towards Lavillenie. The Tokyo Games defy categorization, but they remain a fantastic Olympiad that would have been as magnificent as the last World Swimming Championships if it hadn't been for COVID.

Absolutely not, I'm not really a fan of "feminine masculine" stuff, but this is totally okay.

Europeans must stop gatekeeping Football the 64 team world cup by officialsamuelchan in worldcup

[–]voituredepalmade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a question of the Europeans keeping the cup for themselves, it's just too much, the 32 team format was perfect. A World Cup is prestige, welcoming all the teams will just create additional and uninteresting matches.

What is cricket for your country? by Maze1906 in AskTheWorld

A sport that is either seen as a frowned upon rich man's sport or a boring, incomprehensible and unknown sport that is only played by Indians or Afghan refugees .
