116 km/h down a frozen slope wearing only skintight clothing, that seems like it'd be conductive to a long and fruitful life.

From what I'm seeing, nobody in Sotchi needs brake, hence the brakewoman would not be a big loss.

Maybe they're using a CO2 extinguisher to cool the blades cause it's too warm or something?

CO2 extinguishers basically throw out cold in gas form.

In the usual run of things, you would use one of these little bad boys to put out fires that involve electrical equipment, and can also be used on flammable liquid fires.

You wanna be reaaaaal careful using a CO2 extinguisher on an oil or grease fire, as you can end up blowing a wave of flaming oil away from you and onto... Whatever the gently caress is over there.

That being said CO2 extinguishers are awesome extinguishers.

It's also Sochi part 2 with people getting kicked out of their homes, big cost overruns, corruption kickback scandals and also buildings randomly collapsing due to shoddy workmanship.

Only bright side is holding summer olympics in right climate

Isn't that basically every olympics, ever, to some extent?

Anyone got a good stream link for the current events? American TV is all delayed and useless (plus I don't have a TV in my room).

It's about 22:30 in Sotchi right now so the only live event is synchronized olympic snoring.

The office building management has set up a TV and chairs in the lobby; there's about 25 people sitting there at any given time. The government building next door has projectors showing different events on the walls in the food court, the place is packed all day.

What's that, Canadian public, you expected poo poo to get done? :fuckoff:

Can someone explain to me how the group points are counted in Olympic hockey? Canada won but only has 8 points advancing forward? idgi

1. Canada wins
2. If Canada isn't winning, check rule one.

The thing about curling for me is that I'm almost more impressed by the motionless sliding the stone-slider-person does more than the actual sport itself.

That poo poo's really hard to do, too. Takes a lot more balance than you'd think.

I love this kind of effort. Should have won.

Looks like the tip of his ski might have crossed the line a fraction of a second sooner... How do they determine the time a skier "crosses" the finish line, tip of the ski, center of the body or what?

This is literally every office building in Canada right now, TV's in the lobby with 100-1000 people watching Canada.

Including government buildings in Ottawa, so while everybody's in the lobby watching Canada, nobody's at their drat office, you know, running Canada.

They said in vancouver in 2010, roughly half of the entire population of canada watched the whole game, and 26.5 million watched at least part of it

This isn't a loving game.

Was that the game where the city of Winnipeg or whatever posted a graph showing that water consumption increased 20-fold between the periods as people went to piss? Or am I thinking of some other game?

Hockey isn't a game in Canada, it's serious loving business. The seriousest of business.

Another similar graph is power consumption during the soccer in the UK. During the breaks some 20 or 30 million people turn their kettle on at the same time.

They're drinking tea during the game? What the gently caress?

All you need to do during a break in a game is piss and grab a beer from the patio, what the hell is this kettle poo poo?
