There are two things that come to mind, the first one is a very typical Spanish game called "mus" that is played in pairs, usually just 4 people and is played with just 4 cards each and has four rounds with different rules. This games is said to be originally from the north of Spain, in the Basque country. Another game I would like to be on is chess, believe it or not, but not the standard chess, just short versions.

The Kings and Queens of England are just the rich guy in town. A hereditary privilege that is pretty much senseless on a modern democracy. Now, if you have to live with it, at least they should be providing the right level of service for the immense privileges they have (the land and properties of the Crown are beyond measure). Elizabeth did provide such a service most of the times... Charles III has failed even before commencing.

If the war ends, Ukraine will join the Nato and earn support payments to rebuild its economy due to the fact, that the EU is depending on ukrainian goods such as wheat and oil.
Isnt NATO representatives already claimed that Ukraine is not ready for joining NATO, as Ukraine does not fully meet European standards yet? I am a bit far from Ukraine joining NATO discussion, but last thing I remembered, was there several months ago there was a meeting of NATO countries and it seems they are not waiting for Ukraine in their union. As to wheat and oil - does Ukraine support Europe that much, that Europe would give billions to rebuild destroyed economy? Europe is not short of wheat deliveries from Ukraine, but so far there is no such huge shortage and wheat crisis in Europe, that will make people crazy. There is no such thing as standards for a country to join NATO. Ive been to Albania and Macedonia many times, these are great countries, but if we consider the reasons for accepting them into NATO, it has nothing to do with thefact that they suddenly began to meet some standards. This is a purely political decision. If there is a decision your accepted, no decision your not. If such a decision is made, Angola will be in NATO within a month. When the war ends, Ukraine should offer NATO to join Ukraine. Insisting on some reforms within NATO, for example, throwing the fuck out Hungary would be definitely one of them. Germany doesn't have shit so need to get rid of it too. >does Ukraine support Europe that much You don't understand the major point. In fact, Europe owes Ukrainians all the things and without any conditions. Because democratic societies, unlike authoritarian ones, depend on their own rhetoric. If they said "Never again", they should prove it. If they said that democracy and values are important, they should prove it. Otherwise, the line between Putin's rubbish and the proud statements of the West is blurred. This reminds me of a sentence by Groucho Marx: "I would neve join a club that accepts me as a member". Jokes apart, NATO is an strategic alliance and there is not a formal criteria but there are some things that need to be considered: - Does the country joining have a decent weapons or army spending or are they counting on NATO defending "for free"? - Is there an strategic advantage in the location? Will the country accept bases? - Is there a regime that can be trusted (to a level at least)? And a very important one: Can NATO, in case of an attack, really commit to protecting said country? Kremlin is running out of fake news. They're replaying their greatest (i.e. most absurd) hits now. August 7: In the Mykolaiv region, Russian troops destroyed an arsenal with 45,000 tons of ammunition supplied to the Ukrainian army by NATO countries, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
September 12: An ammunition depot with 45,000 tons of ammunition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed near the settlement of Voznesensk, Mykolaiv region, the Defense Ministry said.
45 thousand tons, twice LOL. Fucking morons can't even math. 45,000 tons of ammunition that's a pretty solid amount. I think if such a depot really exploded, the blast wave would reach Australia A small atomic bomb is just 10 tons equivalent, so yes.. as usual, "informing" is cheap, but does not change reality. |

There is something going on, despite the lack of official coverage my take is that we will see filtrations along the next week, nothing clear, always from intelligence sources that may as well be disinforming. This brings another question: What happens if Putin is demoted? Or, to make it more clear, who the f*ck is now in changer of the "red button" and are they any more trustworthy than Adolf Putin?
Anyone who managed to stay around Putin after 20+ years of his paranoid regime must be as much or more of a psychopath than himself. But I don't think he'll get demoted by his comrades. They all have a lot to lose if the regime falls apart and not much to gain. Like any leader in history, he is only as good as the loyalty that inspires. In his case, said loyalty is based on fear and on corruption and mafia. If the psychos that support Adolf Putin no longer get what they want ... Anyway, our friend be.open has now the occasion to learn what is actually a full collapse of a front. See, what happened in Popasna is not, what is happening in Kharkiv Oblast is. Do you notice the difference in speed and results? Throw a missile to that. |

Desperate Russian Terrorist Forces are bombing power plants now. As if there are no more military objectives for them, just destroy everything they can on the way out. Meanwhile in Russia itself: The Ferris wheel "Sun of Moscow" is not working now [...]. The press service of the attraction said that it operates in a "limited mode" in order to exclude a "mass influx of visitors." The Ferris wheel was opened by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the evening of September 10.
[...]
As the Telegram channel “Caution, Moscow” reported, after the opening on September 10, the Ferris wheel worked with malfunctions. Muscovites reported that the attraction stopped moving, because of which visitors got stuck at a height of 140 m.
"Sun of Moscow" is the largest Ferris wheel in Europe.
Superpower in a nutshell. There is something going on, despite the lack of official coverage my take is that we will see filtrations along the next week, nothing clear, always from intelligence sources that may as well be disinforming. This brings another question: What happens if Putin is demoted? Or, to make it more clear, who the f*ck is now in changer of the "red button" and are they any more trustworthy than Adolf Putin? |

I have read in some media that there are actually serious protests against Putin, publicly and from relevant politicians in St Petersburg and even Moscow. For now I class this as rumours but these have not published before. The disconnect between Putin and the real needs of the RF citizens, particularly the younger ones and those who have not a direct connection with the apparatchiks. I thought this was very difficult, but it may actually lead Putin and his Psychos to a full withdrawal... or a withdrawal from the world of the living depending on how bad it goes. I don't know why, but water in Donetsk dissaperead after the war started. Before everything was fine with it. But again, this is funny that "second worlds superpower" (as russians like to descrive themselves) can't provide water in already like 7 months.
Weren't they getting the water from the Ukrainian side all those years and not bothering to establish their own wells/pumps/reservoirs etc? I thought that's what happened and then they started the invasion in February thinking "well take Kyiv in 3 days so why bother planning ahead".
Anyway, I found the secret plan of Kherson counteroffensive, now it all makes sense, doesn't it:  Dam it! Those are the ones I left over the garden table at Mar-a-Lago! You are the gardener, aren't you? Oh, if you like stories, I think you will be glad to know that Putin as signed as the new Marlborough Man now that he is about to be demoted.  |

I think btc would probably slump a bit based on the news of this and how it plays out but it'll probably respond similar to some stocks and rally after it (interest rates are normally only high when they need to be afaik so they'll probably be lowered within a year or two and most markets can continue in their current direction).
Is this the first rate hike from the ecb though? I don't think I've heard of one before this over the past 6 months and it looks quite a dramatic start (although maybe I've missed some news before).
Yep you have missed the news, there was a previous rate hike of half a point. The bank is taking very seriously not just the inflation but what the FED is doing and what the US is doing in respect to the Euro (basically eating it alive). The commitment as you say seems strong, like a signal to the market that they care more about macroeconomics than about the situation of people in Europe. |

Sometimes being too old is just true. It does not mean that you cannot accomplish or learn, it means that the value is inevitably less because you will not use as much any new learnt skill, simply because you have less life time to do so. You of course can go to university with 70 years if you want, but you have little time left and possibly little chance to put that effort to good use.

They eventually do. Shipping is a very classic example of a cyclic sector and does go down and also up. The reason is that when prices become sufficiently attractive, other competitors will build ships and everything will stabilise or go opposite direction eventually. Now, the cycle is usually very long and the price includes a heavy exposure to bunker fuel, which is a product of refining.
Fossil fuel prices must return to pre pandemic levels for shipping costs to stabilize. High fossil fuel costs, shipping costs, place china's export market in jeopardy. The container ship industry is operating at a loss. As the airline industry has since 2020. While the graph charts appear tenable on the surface. They are not long term sustainable. Markets won't wait for issues to be resolved. They're scrambling to find local alternatives closer to home. Globalization and global markets are at stake. If anyone cares. It is said that the remedy for high prices is high prices. Markets do go through turbulent times from time to time, it is just the way the cycle is, but it is self correcting. In the long term, the dependency on fossil fuels is diminished and countries tend to look for alternatives. It should have never happened with proper planning (e.g. Germany not depending so much on gas from RF) but it will pass. |

This is not surprising comming from the most progressive estate in US. However it is not really new in the world, as, for example, the UK and others have been analysing and making public the information about pay disparity across many factors since a long time ago. Still, the measures that can be taken are usually limited as the market sets salaries.

It depends a lot on your work and if you really enjoy it. Some jobs are so mechanical that even doing it for one hour is inhuman and only apt for those who can't choose. However, it has been known that many professionals do enjoy their jobs up to the point that they do not want to quit under any circumstance, so you can see teachers and other working hours and hours.

Well, if the exploit works and deprives casino customers of their funds, then it seems that the shares of the casino itself will no longer be worth anything, it's another matter if the casino has a sufficient reserve fund to cover the damage from hacker attacks and this does not necessarily mean investing in shares.
Getting bankrupt would really be depending on the funds been remained since there are casinos which does have cold wallets and doesnt store up all of their funds on casinos hot wallet which does means that whenever they do get hacked fully or huge damage on lost funds then they would totally goes down compared into those platforms/casinos who stored up their revenue on cold wallets which they do really have chance on have some recovery after the hacking or exploit. It does really vary on the situation. That is why many casinos take the option of having their funds very safe in cold wallets, some make the same strategies that consist of putting their money there and then that the players play with local money from the same casino so that there is no problem with real money, usually there are few casinos that do this type of practice because the security to put it in the same casino must be very high, you cannot risk so much money so that a hacker with a lot of skill can access and take all the money, this is something that everyone is careful about, for that reason I think that's a very smart way to protect yourself. Yes, it is normal to take all short of precautions, although I think that many of the so called "hacks" are really people who setup the site and the do an exit scam of some short. Crypto and safety are a difficult match, casinos are just like any other site and anyone should consider what are the risks involved not only with the betting, but with where you bet. |

I thought the thread would eventualluy be filled with a few UK and Pakistani sites that would be the ones that usually would find some customers for betting of Cricket. Otherwise, this is one of the most boring games in the world, that only the Brits, Indians and Pakistanis tend to play and even there is room for bets, the result is just nearly equally boring.

What is the difference between greediness and risk,
In this concept which has to do with gambling, one could be said to be "greedy" if he has a certain amount of money and yet not satisfied with the little or huge which he has, i.e always wanting to have that which belongs to others, and one can also be said to take "risk" when he/she tends to gamble all he has with the sole aim of doubling it, which he could either lose or gain Theirs nothing like gain in gambling, what is actually happening in the gamblling is grace to succeed, talking of greediness is happening directly in gambling, because i know that some gambling like casino and poker game their is nothing like greedy because as a gambler you have your own target of getting what you want in gambling. I am trying to make sense of what you said, but bottom line there is actually something like winning in gambling. You can ask the professional poker players that actually make their living, and sometimes a fortune, of playing the games for money. However, you have to choose your game wisely as most of the betting games are designed so that you will eventually loose. |

In a way yes, copying is usually not enough, since the incumbent has always the advantage of being first to market and, if they have a proper strategy, they do know how to get that across to customers. Having said that, the games out there are very similar. It is in fact quite silly that with all the possibilities available with technology, casinos still relay on the old tested games.

Professional poker players are more dedicated and well-focused on the game or should we say that they have an advantage when it comes to experience. Anyone could play poker but not anyone could be professional in it. It needs a further understanding of how to deal with the risks of this game and having a sense of responsibility at the same time. People prefer poker over other gambling games because its risk is more manageable than others.
When they want to learn to be a professional poker player, they must spend more time learning various poker lessons and how to control themselves. Becoming a professional poker player means that they can also earn money from the game while continuing to learn. It is not easy because they should prepare many things before becoming a professional poker player, especially the time that must be spent to become a professional. But all gambling games have risks and the size of these risks varies depending on several things. I think that they do get over the psicological aspects very early or else they simply have to abandon. Most professionals take the game level to a point that is pure mathematics. In the same interview, she explained that during the game she just thinks of the money on the table as "firing power" or "fuel left" to be burned and decissions are purely intelectual. |

After most of the laws in US there ahs to be a group of interest, that is just how the system works. I wonder who would be promoting the an on proof-of-work or other similar technologies. May it be related to the Ethereum foundation and the changes in Ethereum? In any case, if the hashing does not happen in the US, so be it, there are better alternatives.

-Givign away your pet is one of the last things people do, but there is nothing really recession proof on that regard. The supplies will be more basic, non-brand items... there will be less buys and much less spending in superficial or optional things. The medicines and food staples tend to be the go-to items when trying to shell from a recession - these are classic defensive assests.
