Well the new Champions League format (4 more teams) that they just agreed on basically guarantees that these big teams will get in. Especially with the "historical performance coefficient" bullshit they forced in to ensure that.

Yes. And that is why when something like this pops up we stop giving out the treatment while we look at the new data and make the decision.

The problem isn't 7 out of 7 million odds. It is that it is an unknown side effect that did not come up in the original studies. We have approved vaccines with worse side effects before. The difference is that we knew what those side e

The cycling paths should have the same priority as roads for cars. So if the weather is that bad you are not driving to work using your car or taking a bus either.

In the cities we do invest in that too. Also cycling is superior (faster, cheaper, more convenient) to public transport for short enough trips. Also public transport and cycling are not opposites of each other. Here in Helsinki a lot of peo
