I'm curious if Polymarket would be open to a bet on that. Because I am ready to bet serious money that they did!

Two scientists look at a monitor attached to a large apparatus consisting of pipes, tanks, vessels and hoses. The first scientist says "I don't get it. The reaction is running perfectly, but we can't account for 7% of the heat." The other says "Have you Asked the Professor?" The first replies "We're not supposed To disturb him when He's in his office." On the other side of the apparatus, one of the pipes goes through a wall into another room where it warms the water for a hot tub in which the professor relaxes.

Me pa moti koketiranje z radikalnim nacionalizmom in fašistoidnimi tipi vseh sort. Cf. Donald Trump, Viktor Orbán...

Niti ne! Ante Starčević je bil vseeno antiklerikalni radikalec, JJ et co in njihove simpatije do avtoritarne vlade in vladarjev bi mu šli kvečjemu na živce. ;)

As I scroll through my timeline this morning, I'm guessing that His Dementedness, the Great Satan, did not catch fire and self-combust on the podium. I must say I am disappointed, I was really hoping for a happy ending to his story.

Or this guy for that matter.

The US team earned their gold medals, I am not disputing that. But I was cheering for the Canadians because I didn't want to see His Dementedness gloat.😉

My Old Church Slavonic is non-existent if that makes you feel better. :)

I tried again, a bit harder than the first time, and 1400 and 1300 now felt doable. 1200, however, is really something else.
