And now ONLY half of experts expect Russia to become one in 10 years? Seems to me US Presidents got problems with their speech writers/PR/experts.... http://www.baked-in.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/mission-accomplish_1505293i.jpg

The standard reaction when (if ever) confronted with their bad predictions of the past is to say that "nobody could foresee [insert event X here]" and then spin a yarn how this specific event altered the otherwise perfectly deterministic trajectory of history. They never live up to the fact that because they didn't foresee X, their prediction was useless to begin with, and always will be because next time, unless they're lucky, there's going to be another X. The future would be clear, were not all these Xs all over the place.

bd1 Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 kind of reminds me the winter of 1987-88, when at the small community i lived, thre was a the go-cart club, and they (probably hand-made) pikes for go-cart rear wheels and one day, when 11-year old bd1 was going downhill on his sled to the local pond, out of garage door 200m. away came Oliver, my next-door neighbour, on a go-cart, with spikes, and asked me ´´have you heard of paris-dakar rally and Peugeot 205 evo? wanna try , me towing you? ´´ 2 minutes later i slammed into icy wall on frozen-pond-cart-race-track and lost a tooth iirc 😀 Quote ,

Cannot remember the exact details, but one of two of our most memorable patients suffered an eye injury by a city street sweeper/cleaner while riding a bicycle. Iirc, alcohol was involved.
