I agree with the sentiment about watching others play a sport… as an ex pro eventer, my beautiful horses and I had some thrills flying over cross country fences and so on. However I cannot think of anything more boring than watching other people ride horses on tv 🙈 also I cannot stand it anymore… I ride all my horses bitless now ❤️🐴

The foreign idioms game
Krystina Ferraris replied to Arduenn Schwartzman's topic in General Discussion Forum
Here’s an Italian one I heard yesterday. ”Quello è fuori come un balcone” ”he’s outside like a balcony” what it actually means is to be out of your mind. Balconies are facing outwards in a building so that’s where the being outside part comes from. It derives from an Italian expression “fuori di testa” transl. “Out of one’s mind” that is commonly abbreviated in conversations as “essere fuori”. For example, “tranquillo quella è fuori” translates non literally to “no worries pal, she’s mad”. 😆 -

The England-Italy Euro 2020 Final!
Krystina Ferraris replied to Rat Luv's topic in General Discussion Forum
That is absolutely disgusting, not the first time either players are racially abused on the pitch. I hope those keyboard hooligans are found and duly punished. -

I honestly didn’t know that’s how it worked for penalties! Like Marianne I thought the manager chose them. That makes the effect of missing out even worse on the players, I would imagine. Saka is just so young. -

I agree I think all players gave everything and poor Rashford! He's an incredible player though and the pressure was beyond crazy. Bravissimi tutti ragazzi!! 🏴🇮🇹 -

The purpose of ANY virus is to survive and replicate. Killing its host quickly is a stupid tactic, even Ebola does not do that straight away - it kills after having had a successful number of replications and transmissions. A lot of what we know about viral mutations is down to studying the Influenza virus. There are two types of viral mutation, antigenic drift and antigenic shift. Antigenic drift is the better known mutation, i.e. the virus replicates and there are errors during the replication processes. These errors can sometimes lead to a new altered version of the virus surface. If the alteration of the virus surface is significant our immune system (or vaccine assisted immune system) fails to recognise the virus and the vaccine no longer works. That's why every year we need to update the Flu vaccines. Antigenic shift is also a trait of Influenza virus. Luckily it does not happen as often as antigenic drift. Influenza viruses have segmented genomes and so the shift happens when two different Flu strains infect the host cell at the same time. These two strains can mate and generate a new strain, a combination of the two mated viruses. This process is called reassortment and the result is that a lot of the population will not have immunity against this new strain. Coronaviruses though do not have segmented genomes - they have a long piece of RNA so they cannot reassort. What they can do instead is recombine, in a process similar to the antigenic shift. Two coronaviruses can infect the host cell at the same time. However the process that generate a new coronavirus is different from the Influenza: the to mated Coronaviruses give each a pieace of their RNA. This RNA is stiched together and the new Coronavirus will have a combination of the two parent viruses RNA. That is why they are called novel Coronaviruses. The consequence is the same and the antigenic shift... no immunity to the new virus in the population and hence pandemic. -

Indeed true crabs are Decapods and are in class Crustacea. The only exception are Horseshoe Crabs that are technically arachnids 🕷 -

Let me put on my tinfoil hat. Your alt is definitely playing you, probably a scam or fraud. You should ask Drakeo as he’s the resident expert in these matters😂 -

Hahaha Father Jack 😂 what a great show, I still laugh 30 years or so on!! That was surely one of his iconic phrases (I won’t mention some of the other words/phrases as he wasn’t a PC character) 😂😂
