I approve this.

Can't wait It has been moved to end of August, so maaaaaaybe I can finally get this off my bucket list. 25 LMP2s and 24 GTE-Ams looks very promising...

Would be a dream job for you, wouldn't it? Good luck!

Don't celebrate too early. What if the Euros are postponed again?

I must say DFB appointing Klinsmann again would be kinda hilarious though.

I think it's also curious how Germany's successes in the last 15 years coincide with Hansi Flick's spell as assistant manager in the national team. Joined in 2006, left after winning the WM in 2014, and after that, it's been all going downwards. There have always been rumours about him being the binding force behind the team, but it would be interesting to know just how much influence did he have on tactics and player selection back then.

Well, he didn't tell after which Euros though, did he? The sooner he fucks off, the better.

Yeah, I don't particularly like digital versions of actual games, especially when it comes to cards, chess and the likes. Would love to get into physical cards, but unfortunately, it's not really an option; I already have my stuff scattered around four countries at least, and it's a headache every time when you have to leave more stuff behind Will check the MTG Arena though, always wondered what it's all about...

brb, booking a flight to Sri Lanka.

No... But it looks fun. Well, nerd kind of fun, but fun nonetheless How do I start?

This is Jacob and The Man in Black in an alternative universe 5000 years later.

Mau-Mau is a classic

Definitely one of the most interesting card games, imo. The problem is finding actual people who play it these days... Do you play other card games?

I don't really play online, but heard good things about https://www.skat-online.com/, could maybe give it a go. I haven't played Skat in years it's all about Rommé for me these days, I must be getting old

Hellooooooo? Anyone in here? We should bring this thread back to its former glory

And? How did you like it? Yes, Season 2 just started a while ago... Which reminds me that I have to watch Episode 3

I'm the same. Was in the track & field team at high school so did a lot of running, my first few kms were always a bit sub-par, but after that I would get a "second wind", improve my times significantly and have plenty of energy for the rest of the race. One of the reasons why I always prefered long distances instead of short sprints. I don't run anymore, but it still happens whenever I do cardio; I usually struggle a bit for the first few minutes/kms and then it gets easier and I feel a sudden surge of energy.

Nothing is ever too expensive when it comes to US military spending... They can always charge their citizens even more than they do now for basic medical care in order to make up for it

I bet that's going to end well

I've been on the old F1 seasons watching streak (as you well know, haha), and didn't realise how similar to Carlos Reutemann he (Bottas) appears to be. Could be very good "on his day", but more often than not frustratingly indecisive, sloppy, and somewhat mentally fragile. This Nigel Roebuck quote describing Reutemann sounds eerily similar to Bottas too: "Through the days before the race Carlos was relaxed, full of good humour. On the Sunday, when it mattered, he faded to nothing. As I watched that afternoon, I was embarrassed for him. Afterwards he mumbled about understeer on right-handers, and gearchange problems, but in all truth he drove like a man who had suddenly decided he did not want the World Championship."

Have you considered putting it on your resume?

As in free travel with no restrictions at all? Fairly unlikely. That said, it depends on your destination. It's possible to travel to quite a few countries already at this point, it's just somewhat complicated and often inconvienent.

No.... Been busy with work and then had a card playing & whisky night last night

Come on, it's not THAT bad
