I can't reach this Forum, is it still alive?

What happened? I found this video and wanted to mention her but this is not possible plus when I press the link I get a notification This user's profile is not available. Anyway, @TheMercenary, this is for you!

Which suggests that if you ever do a race or a park run you could further lower this time. I can only imagine what times you could achieve in 5 ~10k or even half marathon, if you were training in a structural way.

No way! Huge congratulations! That almost brought tears to my eyes, wow! How it happened? You did a race, park run or just a “normal” run? EDIT: Haven’t attempted a 5k in years, though I did second best time ever (22:51) a few days ago during a longer run. According to Strava’s algorithm I...

Oh you putting the bar too high, what about 2 months or whenever the upcoming war with Iran will end? I suspect, Israel and US couldn’t afford a two front war, so they made a “peace” with Palestine only to come and finish later what’s left.

I'm not holding my breath. Trump lost every credibility as negotiator to my eyes after what happened with Iran last summer, keeping them looking elsewhere with negotiations while Israel performed /prepared decapitation strikes and IAEA conveniently issued a statement of non compliance one...

The most disgusting Nobel peace prize of all!

Probably not, but my point was that by doing that she is supporting military intervention to her own country which is against the principals of Nobel Price (or should be) and specifically in her case as she was selected basis on "her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from...

All in all 3 government shutdowns in US history, when one party controlling both houses, 2 being on Trump’s watch. And Venezuelan Nobel Peace winner praising US president who is blowing up boats with her compatriots inside and who is about to take military action against her country.

White Album no.3 for me. But it would be my recommendation if someone wanted to get into the Beatles.

So on 31 August I run the race in Xinjiang. It was the end of a summer year full of overseas flights, drinks and business dinners, plus the second half of August I drove 6,000Km in 14 days circumventing Taklamakan desert, with little sleep and bad nutrition. It's funny but until the race I had...

20 years ago was better anywhere man!! Recently I have 2 thoughts. That the turning point for Europe was the Iraq war, the last time our leaders used their spine. From then all went downhill, slowly but steadily. This is more or less 20 years. And that the current era of Europe was somehow...

@Yax This model (Sweden before) is great but it ends up being abusive, i.e., what you mentioned about education in your first point. Of course Capitalism means taxes and welfare and all but in a balanced way. If you pay 50% ~60% taxes altogether which is what is happening in most Europe and...

Do you have some facts to back up this? From what I know Sweden is still a social benefits heaven (thus can’t be too capitalistic), i.e., one of the most desired destination for refugees. Or it might be that it used to be super left and now that is less, it had a huge effect in locals’...

I get that, but my argument is that when you are taxed above say 15% or above 30% including social security, you enter socialist territories. By taxing at such high levels, states naturally grow gargantuan and subsequently end up intervene in the market, reducing significantly the extent to...

Just to note that for high (and all really) incomes one takes more money home after tax in China than UK, France, Denmark etc. As per ChatGPT, for 1,000,000 USD, in China one takes home 560,000 USD, in UK 555,000 USD, in France 430,000 USD, in Denmark 455,000 USD. In Hong Kong this is 840,000...

European iron curtain was a kind of foreign occupation, but my experience of living in a sovereign communist country is quite different. The key is prosperity, the system managed to boost the quality of lives of a billion people to the stratosphere in a lifetime, so there’s no much to envy from...

This is the essence and starting point of democracy. Whoever doesn’t apply that is flirting with fascism; left or right. That. Whatever anyone says he believes, it’s their behavior that really defines who they really are. If one behaves like a bully or a fascist it’s what one is regardless how...

He is terrible.
