It was a sight to behold, literally a "what the actual gently caress :psyduck:" moment. How do the organizers gently caress up that badly? You can see course officials sending the leading pack off into the wrong direction, and less than a minute later the others come along and keep going on the course.

If it's Italy, there's good odds that someone paid to have that happen

Update, after reading the account in the newspaper this morning:

Mikl posted:

Update on this: seems the reason is that the head pack was just too fast.

At that point in the race the runners have to go left and into a pedestrian underpass to pass under the rail line; the car and bike that had been leading the runners until then obviously can't go down there, so they hosed off down the road to the right to get out of the way. The lead runners however were too close, ran after the car (because of course they would, the car was leading the way, why wouldn't they follow it?) and the guys standing at the road split were so startled that they didn't think to shout "wait no that's the wrong way" until the head pack was gone. Then they scrambled a bike to go after them, but by the time it caught up they had ran half a km the wrong way.

Positive thing in all this: the organisers accepted the blame without trying to shift it onto someone else and admitted they hosed up.

Someone hosed up real bad.

I just figured that when they said "random local" he knew the guys, and if it was possible they were supposed to give the race a little nudge so he could win.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I think you need a whole lot more explanation for those who don't follow wrestling. What did Jeff do? Sexual harassment? Addiction? Racist remarks on social media? Beat up somebody backstage with a chair when the cameras weren't running?

I know that we are very serious about drunk driving convictions when granting things like work permits. If you have a DUI on your record that's considered recent, like in the last 20 years, odds are you're not going to get into the country.

My mate went to Canada about 15 years ago, and had to show he could support himself for x number of years, getting into Canada seems quite tough, mind I don't need to try and get into the UK

Oh, yeah. I experienced a lightning strike shortly after I moved to a new apartment in the late 90s. About 60 feet away. Fortunately I was facing away, but it lit up the entire room and I couldn't hear anything but ringing for a solid 30 minutes.

It also managed to trip every circuit breaker. When I flipped them back it was like nothing happened. Ends up it hit the manhole cover in the parking lot and the township had to cut it out with a torch.

This seems pretty freudey, since I stopped following her on social media because this isn't the first time she's done something like this:

Mayim Bialik authored an op-ed piece on the NY times about the Weinstein situation. basically saying that being less conventionally sexy provided her with 'protection' from folks like Weinstein, and that even as an adult she chooses to not not dress sexually and be flirty in public spaces. You know, implying that others would have similar protection too if they just didn't do those things.

Needless to say, it didn't go over well. She tried to defend her arguments, but eventually just apologized for saying it. Like I said, this isn't the first time she's done something like that. I recall an article where she complained about women not breast-feeding. Also, I think she's an 'I vax but you should make your own choices" anti-vaxxer.

Source: this article on Deadspin, of all places, that goes into how becoming an Orthodox Jew as an adult informs her beliefs on the matter, which I found interesting as hell.

Austrian burqa ban: Police raid toy store over a Lego Ninja

Austrian citizens are really taking the piss on this law, as they basically call in/complain on all kinds of face coverings. This time it's a LEGO Ninja:

quote:

Austria's new ban on covering the face was meant to target the burqa. But the law has had police responding to a Lego Ninja, a man dressed as a shark and even the parliamentary mascot.

Austrian police raided a Lego store in the capital, Vienna, on Friday, in the latest bizarre case surrounding enforcement of new anti-burqa laws.
Police rushed to the toy store after receiving a complaint that a red Lego Ninja was violating a ban on wearing face coverings, leading to a "heated" argument, Kronen Zeitung newspaper reported.

https://twitter.com/MevluetK/status/921305500997881856

Edit, also the parliament mascot got caught up in this during a photoshoot with some kids:

quote:

The incident came nearly two weeks after police intervened against the Austrian parliament's mascot, Lesko. The long-eared rabbit was stopped from doing a video shoot with children during an open house ahead of the national independence day holiday. No fines were issued.
