Dallas really outsmartred themselves: "OK guys, we are going to make a bad deal in secrecy, so that Luka can't find out about it and use the leverage to force us to make a bad deal! Brilliant." As a Slovenian I am (was) off course Dallas fan, but now I just can force myself to root for Lakers. I used to root for Seattle, but after franchise move I stopped watching the NBA and restarted after Luke entered it. So, back to normal sleep schedule, I guess...

So, if Galadriel has the 9 and they end up with Sauron, does that mean that she'll the Oopsie again? Maybe that'll make Gil-Galad so mad, that he'll actually punish her, like slap her hand or something. Seriosuly do the writer hate Galadriel or what the hell is going on? Can someone tell one thing that would be worse if she actually sail to Valinor?

Insane last day: - Tola OR in marathon in probably the hardest course in olympics - 800 m with 3rd and 4th best time ever and I feel very sorry for Hoppel, before this they there were only 5(or 6) runners under 1:42 and now he runs under 1:42 and still finsih 4th - Kipyegon OR in 1500m with very solod times from other runners - two nearly WR in 4×400 Insane day, probably the best I've ever seen in track and field.

After all your arguments, let's just say we disagree on quality of GoT's latter seasons. Clearly you look for different things in a show than I and to be clear, that is perfectly ok. That just sadly mean that showrunners manage to dissapoint fans with different point of view

Well deserved? I disagree, although this season has problems, it's head and shoulders above s6, how can people claim that this is better than s7 is beyond me. Did you watch it recently? I would rather compare it to s5, even though I think HotD is still better than that. I still think that HOTD can be a good show, it has good foundation, it's not to late to fix the mistakes ( I hope).

I just hope that for next season drop all this "Who will you choose: Green or Black", because it's pretty obvious who are you suppose to root for (I mean sure, you can root for Greens, because the show wants you to root for Blacks and you are rebel, but that's it). How many times did we see Rheanrya's warface and then in the next episode it's like "Oh no, but the innocent!".

Any good recipes? Or will you go by inspiration?

Yeah, on some days it's hard run 100m in this tempo. OTOH when I'm in form and rested (so on race day) It's really not that hard (relativly speaking), I'm pretty sure, that some of you guys that listed times worked harder/pushed it more/went through greater pain than me.

15:50 3 years ago, probably 10-15s slower now

Don't get me wrong, I like MBotF, so my frustration is even bigger, because I really want to love the damm thing. I want to read all the books. But i really don't know if I can.

I really don't know if I have enough willpower to continue reading, I thought, when I was reading previous books, that I'll have most of the answers by the end of the book 10, but instead I got some answers, but a lot more question. Also, by searching the internet, my confusion is not based on question of Who ("Who's this person?"), What ("What are they talking about?") or When("When did this happen?") with the help of Wiki, I can manage those. It's the Why and How. For example, death of Fener in the last book. How did Karsa killed him by cutting the altar? Is there some kind of connection mentioned in before? So one can killed any god just by cutting the altar? Why did Karsa did it? How did he know it? And also, how did Fener's blood resurrect T'lan Lmass? Is there a hint in the book? Is it blood sacrifice? But isn't that usually connected with a sacrifice to God, not of God? The why's: What was the point of the T'lan miner who was found by Harllo(?). Why was this in the book? You don't need answers this, I have like a hundred question's floating in my head and I'm sure, there is a good explanation for most of my question, but I really dislike first reading a book and then having someone to explain it to me.

Thanks, I'll check this out, especially for the last the books of the series, because TBH I don't really remember a lot (that wasn't picked up in the last two books) from previous books and I really don't plan to do a re-read.

I just finished reading last of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and is normal to fell stupid? I'm now questioning my reading ability, my comprehension of the text, because I just don't get half of the things. Not just from the last book, but also from the previous books, some things just hang in the air, like a mist my brains. And for every thing that I don't get, I question myself: Was it written on the pages? Was it written on the previous pages? In previous book? Should I piece things together from the hints? Should I just fill in the blanks with my imagination? I don't know and it's frustrating. Maybe I'm just not smart enough.

Jumbo Visma - how to be the best and the worst team

Thanks, yeah it's pretty awesome to run pass all the monuments build centuries ago. I'll try to run more of this kind of races and combine it with sightseeing, because I live close to Italy and it's full of this kind of ancient cities. Also a little bit of offtopic: I was talking with my sister about that, Slovenia is so small, that we sometimes have some different senses of scales. I live three hours ride from Venice, but I was never there, because "it's to far away!". Verona is 400 km (or 4h car ride) away and a lot of people asked me why do I go so far for a race. OTOH Americans or Australians or Russians (I think) won't blink twice, if they have to go race (or go sightseeing) 400 km away.
