If you aren't worried about running low on space on your Hard Drive, setting up a dual boot is probably your best bet.
Basically, you just run Windows 7 and Windows 10 at the same time...
It’s not even that hard, you just need to make sure your Hard Drive has at least two partitions...

Ferrari 🙏 🙏

It's already over ☕

The race is already over ☕

SPTV 🤦

And we're still just sitting here waiting on the judges to make their call...☕

Taylor Bailey said:Man, during that recent sailing championship out in San Diego, they were living large—sleeping at the President's place, eating and drinking like royalty. Even when the Secretary opens the event, you've got all these Americans, Scandinavians, and Brits raving about how every single competition in the US is top-tier, whereas in other countries, people are probably just camping on the beach 🤣

And that’s someone's money, and a lot of it too

But I guess being a "sailing superpower" means we have to be number one and host the best championships around

So, how is that considered an investment in sailing?
I mean, they definitely put way more into the SP handball tournament. All those arenas, the stadiums...
But that isn't actually an investment in handball...

Does anyone actually have the hard numbers on these investments, or is everyone just winging it?
I'm not talking about those vague PR statements like "we've put in a ton" or "business is booming"...

They're saying another 45 minutes...

Alonso 🙏

quietfox38 said:Is the drama starting up all over again this year?

Nah.
This year, the absolute mess surrounding the HOO elections just came to light...
They have very specific criteria. If you look back at my old posts, you'll see what I mean.
And by those standards, Toni Tomas was easily the best coach this season.
Period. That's how they handed out the award last year, too.
But apparently, HOO couldn't stomach that decision...
So now they're claiming there's a tie between Toni Tomas and Ante Kostelić.
Except if you actually follow the HOO guidelines, Ante Kostelić didn't earn it at all.
They're setting a weird precedent by giving out two awards this time, even though they didn't do that last year for Kostelić and Vlašić.
Basically, they just doubled down on the injustice done to Vlašić last year...

The Ferrari crew actually nailed the tire choice this time ☕ 🙏
🤣

Ferrari's crew are absolute geniuses...
Alonso was the first one in and out for his pit stop, totally nailed it.
Still, he’ll probably end up in fifth, likely a lap or more down by the finish line.
Nobody actually passed him on the track except for Bottas, but let's be real—Bottas was on softs while Alonso was struggling on hards.
Eight commercial breaks during a single race is just ridiculous 🤦

So, this is basically the HOO network.
It covers all kinds of sports, especially the non-commercial stuff you usually can't find anywhere else.
That means we won't just be stuck watching random foreign games, but we'll actually see our local teams too—even the ones where the broadcast rights are crazy expensive, like Dynamo...
I'm actually a fan of this idea, since it makes a lot more sports accessible without breaking the bank.
Especially since NBC isn't exactly doing its job properly lately...

analogowl122, hey, drop the link for me... 😍😁

Yeah, right, because I live to serve you. Since we're such good friends and all 😍😁
Just post it yourself. ☕
But seriously, I didn't catch it either (wasn't filming), so if anyone actually caught it on video...

Carl Brooks22 said:By December, I’m hoping the US Olympic Committee really steps up their game on the details. In a non-Olympic year, they should probably weigh things more heavily when deciding awards—like whether to prioritize someone winning two World Cup titles (slalom and overall), a world record holder in high jump (maybe hitting 2.11m like back in 2011), a shot put world record holder, or even the handball team and their coaches. That would definitely stir up some drama...😁

I'm putting my money on Taekwondo😁
Out of all the World Cup events this year, that's where we have the best shot at grabbing a few medals, maybe even gold.
Even better odds than the handball guys or Blanka at the World Cup.
Just imagine if we pull off a gold and a silver in Taekwondo...
And then say the handball team wins gold, Blanka wins gold and breaks a record to clinch the Diamond League... And Ivica sweeps everything in sight.
Or Čilić takes home three Grand Slams, stuff like that...
Then the Taekwondo coach would actually be the top pick by the USOC's standards.
Is it still that Korean guy? 😁
Man, what a mess that would cause for Vlašić... 🤣
Plus you've got the World Cups in wrestling, judo, sailing... Honestly, sailing has even better odds than handball, Blanka, or Ivica, just because there are way more medals up for grabs.

Jose Wells9 said:Jordan only had Blanka, and after her, nothing really happened
Beamon has Janica, Ivan, and a whole bunch of other skiers who helped make skiing huge in America. That definitely helped bring in the sponsors for the Snow Queen events

So, props to both guys, but if you ask me, Beamon did more for the sport overall

For the hundredth time—everyone is just obsessed with 2010.
For the hundredth time—it’s not about who they picked, it’s about how they went about picking them.
Here's another shady detail—the water polo team won gold at the EC, and the rowers grabbed gold at the WC. By USOPC standards, the rowers should've been Team of the Year.
But they didn't do that. Instead, they cooked up some new category just so they could name the water polo players Team of the Year. It was pure populism...

Anthony Jackson2 said:hmmm... a World Championship gold versus two Olympic silvers at the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee🤔

it's honestly a tough call to make...

If you don't count the World Championships and just look at the WC, EC, and OG, I think Ivan would be ahead. Everyone knows how much an Olympic medal matters in the sports world, so the USOPC really shouldn't have pulled this ridiculous stunt they did🤷

Why do you keep ignoring that European gold?
And everything else I mentioned.
It's all just so pointless, let me say it again:
An Olympic football medal is worth more than a WC one.
Winning gold at the EC in football is basically the same as taking 5th at the OG (whether it's football or field hockey).
A Grand Slam doesn't mean anything...
Etc, etc...
The whole thing is just nonsense, and there's no point in going in circles again...

Just to clarify my point a bit more, since it seems like some people aren't really getting what I mean...
If you ask me, terms like Dalmos, rancher, or city slicker aren't even really offensive in themselves...
It really just depends on how you're using the word...
It’s kind of like how the N-word works... Black people might use it among themselves without any actual malice behind it...
But when it comes from a white guy, especially one who’s already known for being a total jerk toward Black people, and you add that obvious negative context on top... yeah, that’s definitely offensive...
That’s why I steer clear of that kind of talk. Even when I mean well... those little nicknames like "city boy" or whatever... it just feels off... 😁
Just so there’s no misunderstanding...
If you want me to break down how I'm seeing this...

Sandra Wilson38 said:I seriously can't believe how much everyone here from the South is actually on the same page... 😍 It’s actually kind of crazy that it’s gotten to the point where Ivica is just an average skier now... 🤣

This was written after... one... Some guy mentioned he doesn't think Ivica is at his best...
Let's take it step by step...
Calling someone a Dalmatian isn't even an insult. It’s what people are actually implying that’s the problem...
It’s all the same to me—doesn't matter who they are. Whether it's Dalmos, Black people, or Jews...
That’s just straight-up fascist and racist thinking. And it wasn't even the first time Tanya made a generalization like that... which is why I'm reacting this way...
To those people, Ivica is just some average skier...
To feels like a direct shot at a few things. People from Dalmos can be pretty self-centered and only care about their own... Plus, there's that jealousy and resentment toward Washington, D.C....
Because of all that nonsense, they’re even dragging Ivica through the mud. There isn't any truth to it at all... But hey, that's just how they operate...
Honestly, none of this even matters that much, and I find myself caught up in all this drama too. For no real reason, either. Just because I’m a Dalmatian, I’m automatically considered "guilty." But that’s just not true. I have nothing but respect for Ivica—I think he's an absolute legend, both as an athlete and a skier...

Maybe I was a little unfair when I went after Tanya...
There are plenty of similar ones around here, and honestly, some are way worse. I just don't let them get to me...
The way I reacted to Tanya... honestly, it can only be taken as a compliment. No joke...
I only spoke up because I know she’s actually a solid person and a great part of this community...
And because I know—or at least I'm hoping—that she gets that she doesn't need all that extra noise...
For most other people, no matter where they're from, there just isn't a cure...
