Yeah, you're right, it was right time to do it long time ago, but didn't bothered to do it.

Congrats!

So, seems that one Kinzhal that they shot down previously wasn't just lucky coincidence. Meanwhile Russia is bragging that thye destroyed Patriot sytem with Kinzhal. But as always, reality is a bit different. Yes, partially it's true, but they didn't hit key things of system - radar, control station or battery. It was just one of 8 launcher. Now it's only question of damage they made.

Seems that Patriot became main target for Russia in Ukraine and they desperately will try to destroy it as it's really game changer in the sky of Ukraine.

2nd half wasn't more exciting too. Milan wasn't even near from starting comeback and Martinez goal left no questions remaining. Inter were much better side in both games and seems that CL semifinal was above level of Milan. Still feeling disappointed that they kicked out Napoli, Napoli - Inter probably would be much more sciting. Offcourse, not talking about current Napoli, playing in hangover mode.

My current campaign have optimal post quota - 15. I can reach it easily without forcing myself to post in order just to get paid. I usually make about 20 posts per week, sometimes up to 25. But sometimes when I have busy week, reaching even 20 posts would be difficult.
Why I'm posting above required quota? Because I just don't count my posts, signature campaign don't change my posting habbits. Just on last day of week I check how many oosts I have made to be sure that have enough to get paid. Now I can't imagine myself in campaign which would require 25-30 posts.

Faucets are dying indeed, and it's happening for few years already. Best indicator of it is activity on this board. Basically, it's dead. There just few posts in whole month,while in prime time first page of board were getting filled every day.
In prime time of faucets when there was microwallets like Faucetbox or Faucethub it was possible to earn something significant, now getting few Satoshi requires much more effort and people aren't bothered to do it. For owners faucets never was very profitable business, well maybe only when Adsense was still allowed. But now I imagine that monetizing faucets is even more difficult, especially with low traffic. Faucet era ended few years ago and I doubt that it will ever come back.

Now they only pay shells of peanuts .

I have used WebMoney in past, but it was long time ago. I never had any issues with service itself, but I agree with others that's very inconvenient to use, UI isn't is one of their advantages. From comments here seems that they haven't improved much in all these years.
If you're from country that haven't imposed sanctions against Russia, there shouldn't be any problems for you to use it.

Porto won game and they deserved it. They were creating moments, but luck wasn't on their side, Casa Pia goalkeeper also made some big saves, but after all Porto achieved goal on additional time and idn't let Benfica to clebrate title already. Meanwhile Casa Pia continue longest winless streak in league.
I don't believe in Porto chances, but it would be nice if Sporting will win against Benfica this week. It would make last round interesting, unlike in almost all top leagues winners is known few rounds before end of season.

Today it was really fun day, Canada won against Slovakia just after penalty shootout, Germany lost to USA 2:3. One of the most awaited game of group stage between Finland and Sweden also ended with penalties were Sweden won. And hosts Latvia achieved their ever win against Czechia in World Championship, they won after OT 4:3.
It's sad to see Germany still with 0 points after 3 games because all their games with favorites wree really good.

I submited my answers for last round, I desperately need to win finally, but it will be difficult as my opponent is above me in the table. Yeah, it's a bit sad that you didn't added Euroleague, NBA isn't my cup of tea, but I understand that it's much bigger thing than Euroleague.

It's huge upset, 23.00 odds for Marozsan says a lot. Getting eliminated in Masters is painful, but considering that Roland Garros begins next week, maybe it's not that bad thing, now he can fully prepare and be fresh on main clay tournament.
Alcaraz getting eliminated is big game changer in our game, but I wouldn't say that it made task to pick finalists and winner easier.

Congrats to Feyenoord for winning Eeredivisie for the first time since 2016/17. Fully deserved it, despite that throughout the season many people were quite sceptical about their chances. Today's game against Go Ahead Eagles looked like celebration party.
Groningen -Ajax game was abandoned after already relegated Groningen fans started throwing flares and made pitch invasion. I already lost count how many similar accidents we had in Netherlands this season. Fderation have to do something to solve this problem.

What can be better than winning La Liga title at stadium of your main city rival after simply destroying them? Probably only doing same thing at Santagio Bernabeu can be better . Anyway, this season leaves mixed feelings. Today we saw face of Barca that we missed in many games this season. Dominating, high scoring, not winning games 1:0 without making many moments and having some luck. So, congrats to all Barca fans here. Visca Barca!
EDIT
It's a bit sad that game didn't ended 4:0 and Barca let Espanyol to score twice, but it doesn't matter anymore. And what a shame that Espanyol fans attacked Barcelona players while they celebrated title. But what else you can expected from these rats. I hope that this shameful club will relegate to Segunda and will stuck there for long.
And Atletico - have no words about them today. They looked amazing recently, scoring 3-5 goals in recent games and now they somehow managed to lose against Elche who already relegated maybe few months ago.

Next day after Eurovision CHA CHA CHA still sounds in my head. Similar like POE POE POE POE POE, but I'm surprised that Austria finished so low and both people and judges didn't liked them.

I think that most of platforms had Eurovision, after all it's big thing in Europe.

Wouldn't say that they almost won, difference between Sweden and Finlandwas not few points, but almost 60.

Don't want to make conspiracy theories, but voting of judges always been contraversial part of Eurovision. Especially when you see such huge difference between people and judges voting. Why they can't leave decide it for people, why some expets is needed who pretend to understand music better? Have nothing against Loreen, but Kaarija won my heart too and voting without judges would be less contraversial.

Something is happening in Bryansk oblast - Russian aircrafts started to fall there. 4 aircrafts just in one day had their last flight - Su-34, Su-35 and two Mi-8 helicopters. Seems that they were hit by Patriot system.

Meanwhile Ukraine continue their progress around Bahmut in North and South directions.

You're so delusional. In all years from Soviet times Russia needed to show their power with all these parades. And now on second year of war in Ukraine they decided not to make huge parade and let their performance to talk. Strange. BTW, what performance? What significant they have achieved so far. And for some reason rest of world don't need to held such parades to show their power.

Their actions already can't surprise me... Videos of very powerful explosions is spreading on Telegram, but from what I understood it's fake, but terrorist state really hit something in Ternopil.

Don't really watch much boxing or MMA. PPV isn't big thing in my country. When it comes to UFC, all events is shown on paid sports TV. Boxing usually is on DAZN, their subscription is really cheap, but I'm not that big fan to subscribe. I have good IPTV, so, I find all events there.
Live podcast - WTF is that, how you can watch some talking heads instead of actual fight? And all these stream on Facebook, Youtube, Twitch and etc, usually quality of it is such terrible and it's very likely that stream will be taken off at most interesting moment because of copyrights.

I haven't seen worse work of referee than in Sporting - Maritimo game. Additional time, Sporting leads 1:2, Maritimo attack. Referee assistant raises flag because foul, but main referee don't react, Sporting players basically stop to defend and Maritimo scores a goal. Then referee shows red card to Adan and goes to watch VAR. And then he cancel goal after review. Ridiculous, but actually referee lost control of game long time ago. Something what we discussed many times about level of referee in Portugal.
After this win Sporting still have chances to reach Braga on 3rd place. Meanwhile Benfica had easy game against Portimonense and won 5:1. Next week they're going to face Sporting, but it's almost impossible for them to lose title.
Braga - Santa Clara and Porto - Casa Pia on Sunday.

We saw all songs and now voting is live. I want to say few words about songs that I liked or stuck to my memory.
Austria - really catchy song that stucks in head and I think we're going to hear it on radio after Eurovision.
Poland - if it would be singed live, that would be one of strongest songs. Nothing complicated, just simple pop song that fits to Eurovision
Sweden - main favorite, but I wouldn't say that was my favorite song
Italy - seems that they simply can't send bad songs to Eurovision
Ukraine - not bad, but for me their folk style songs fits better to Eurovision than elecetronic ones like this
Norway - is it only for looks that I heard something very similar before?
Isreal - they're getting hyped much, but at least for me it's nothing special, though Noa Kirel is really beautiful.
Croatia - song that you can love or hate. Personally I liked it a lot, but they're not going to win
UK - they have good song this year, but live performance on stage looks weak.

Really nice how UK included legendary songs made in Liverpool. Especially You'll never walk alone - it gave me goosbumps

I've beem using Imgur for many years, now when they started to give proxy errors I thought that's time to switch to this service. What I can say - everything works as supposed to work. So, goodbye Imgur.
Just one question, maybe I missed something, but what if people not from Bitcointalk will start to use TalkImg? From what I understood from FAQ post, image simply won't be displayed if I will try to post it on Bitcoin.com forum for example?

It's already common thing to held IIHF to hold championship in tow different countries, probably it's a bit cheaper for hosts. I read that tickets is quite expensive in Riga, despite that there was many spectators in arena. I agree with your predictions more or less, usually group stage is just warm up for big teams. While teams on two lowest lines is going to fight to avoid relegation.
Opening day was interesting. Sweden had difficult match against Germany and scored their only goal just in 3rd period. Bad day for hosts, Latvia had no chance against Canada, while USA made an upset by beating Finland. In 1st period of Czechia - Slovakia we saw 5 goals, but there was not much action in 2nd and 3rd periods and no goals were scored.
Friday results and schedule for Saturday:

Yars isn't something what they didn't showed in previous year. But I'm wondering where things like Iskander, Buratino, Buk, Pantsir, S-400 and all other stuff from previous parades? I don't even talk about that they had to cancel air part of parade. Year ago who could have thought that Russia will fear of drone attacks on Red Square.

Exactly. It already happened in past when they even tried to show retreats as their win. Goodwill gesture, strategical retreat and similar shit. But I noticed that trolls here tend to ignore such events or make conspiracy theories about it.

On 12th May in Tampere and Riga Ice Hockey World Championship will begin. 16 teams in 2 groups will play. One of hosts - Finland is reigning Champions. While Slovenia and Hungary got promoted from lower division. Most of teams don't have their birghtest stars because of ongoing NHL playoffs. Here is outright odds for tournament winners. Nothing new, Finland, Sweden and Canada is main favorites to win.
