Thor Wotansen Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I think we often do the USA chant just in case someone watching is unsure of where exactly the events are occurring. I mean, it's not as if we have any sort of distinctive accent or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piscator Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 1 hour ago, Ten Key said: As an American, I don't really get why Europeans don't do that. Because chanting "EU, EU, EU" would sound too much like a police siren. Quite excited about the upcoming launch by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantab Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well we shout "England!" a lot, but only at football matches. Maybe because that's one of the things we're still successful at...not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's one more newborn side projects from the same developers, and not so significant to open a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shpaget Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Since I'm annoyed that they don't post simple smart time displays everywhere, and that every timezone other than the one I happen to live in is wrong I did this: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SpaceX+F9+-+SES+10&iso=20170330T18&p1=2273&ah=2&am=30 So there...

Ultimate Steve Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Welp, it's not on my birthday any more... To the 19.5 million people who's birthday it is tomorrow: Enjoy it! I am preparing my hype array. It includes loudspeakers, model rockets (wait, never mind, it's downpouring outside), and 87 different covers of "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!" This is going to be soooooo cool! I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
