I have my doubts that normal cheap doors are the same thing as paper craft door. That thing probably feels strange to shut because it must weight nothing.

edit: I'm wrong.

from my extensive research into the concepts of "win" and "fail" within internet subcultures, "epic" and "aids" are used to denote that a subjehe's a loving idiot he's a loving idiot he's a loving idiot

would you describe it as an antonym of 'epic win' or is there a more subtle relationship between the two concepts

Hollow-core doors are extremely common, but come the gently caress on, the door in the picture is like an extremely cheaply made version. The facing is like paper as opposed to high density fibreboard.

Judging by the lock jamming, yes it's some super cheap type. Or installed wrong.

And this is why the toilets are installed in tandem, so you're not stuck in the bathroom without company.

What if the toilets are actually a series of warping points, like a real life Russian Mario game? As in, this network of toilets is the public transit system in Sochi.

Cardboard door is cheap. In Russia is good.

We have tarp ceilings so cardboard doors are not far fetched.

Wait, did NBC not show the mascots during the opening ceremony? I was talking to one of my friends about it this morning and she didn't believe that there were these nightmareish mascots skating across the arena at one point.

NBC not only nixed the mascots, they also chopped up the IOC President's "tolerate the gays, tolerate Russia's tolerance" speech :ironicat:

Seriously, if you're going to watch the Olympics in America, try and stream it from some other country. Thank god for Hola Unblocker.

Also, to continue my theme of Olympic mascot chat, here are some mascots of disasters past



See that terror bear next to Uncle Sam's inbred cousin and Rainbow Beaver (which is the best mascot)?

Thats Misha, the mascot for the 1980 Moscow games. Most western countries boycotted the 1980 games because of Afghanistan Invasion (a move I seriously thought they'd try again for the Sochi games, thats enough D&D for me)

Here's a cute story about Misha, from the book Made In Russia.



Made In Russia posted:

“Misha, the Russian bear, served as mascot—and merchandizing phenomenon—for the 1980 Moscow games. During the games themselves, Misha appeared as a giant balloon that was released during the closing ceremonies as a cartoon version of him shed tears on a screen and a choir of children sang ‘Good-bye, our sweet Misha.’ There was not a dry eye in the stadium.

“One can only imagine the tears that the mascot’s further fate would elicit: The balloon was recovered on the outskirts hours later, and put in storage where it was abandoned to be devoured by rats.

One can only hope history repeats itself :unsmigghh:

Cardboard door no keep out dog. Also no keep in bobsledder. Is mixed bag.

Edit: The Power Ranger: Panda Force literally blows every other mascot away, except maybe the greek ones because I like weird things.

Guess which stream the Luge is on!
Ten is repeating a 1:45 part of the Opening ceremony.
One just says it's not available.
1 seems to be some kind of weird highlight/camera panning over stuff/action shots of stuff happening of random events with no sound?
2 actually is the Ski Jump.
3 is Figure Skating that's been going for two hours.
4 is a repeat of the ceremony.
5 is nothing. And will be nothing until the next day. It will more than likely be more nothing.
6 is actually the Luge. Winner.


What is there to watch later in the day?
