India lost two wickets in the morning session, Jack Leach is getting good purchase from the wicket and he was able to trap Cheteshwar Pujara and James Anderson is getting reverse swing and he is troubling the batsman and uprooted the wicket of Shubman Gill. The only thing i do not understand is the DRS system. Rahane was trapped in front and in the replay the ball was going to hit the middle stump and since it was not umpires call it was adjudged not out .

Edit:

Ajinkya Rahane is gone the very next ball another beauty from Anderson with his reverse swing. India is struggling at 92 for 4.

Did England decision to not allow the follow on prove incorrect because if they would asked India to bat and even if India had taken a lead of say 50 - 100 provided England wrapped up India quick again in second innings then England would have better chance of winning this test as they could even had made this score by playing T20 like match in the end if need be.
You need to consider the hot and humid weather they are playing, it is Chennai and a visiting team cannot keep on bowling and force a follow on without resting the bowlers. The pitch is behaving oddly with uneven bounce and it is possible for India to draw the match, it all depends on how they approach the match tomorrow morning, i do believe India will not go for the win.

edit: I wonder what Ben was thinking when he saw that fight  Huh
Ben Askren will welcome Frankie Edgar to the group  Cheesy.

The flying knee has become a deadly weapon to counter wrestlers and i would like to see Frankie Edgar retire from the sport and the same goes to Alistair Overeem as he has suffered some of the brutal knockouts throughout his career and there is no point for him to continue fighting. Michael Johnson is another fighter who should stop fighting as he is on a loosing streak and Clay Guida is fighting for a very long time and he needs a proper retirement fight as well.

new solutions would just coming up in the next months or years lowering these fees.
The million dollar question is, whether these solution will provide any change in the insane fees and help the minor investors. There was a time when ETH was mocking the high fees of BTCitcoin and Vitalik Buterin was certain that it will not happen in ETH and time showed the truth  Cheesy.

high fees isn't a bad situation. there is interest to use ethereum blockchain, moreover there is an huge interest and this is why fees are sky rocketing. Several projects and solutions have been proposed and some have already been launched like loopring or beacon chain 2.0 ...
The higher fees are bad, right now everyone is trading because of the market rally and there will be a time when the market goes down and by that time it is not sorted out, many of the projects will die off simply because of these high transaction fees.

The Point is. Its impossible to get back into Gmail once you are locked out.
The links are useless as you end up stuck in a loop where Gmail says they cant verify its you and so on.
Usually they lock out if you log in from a completely different country and i was locked out a few years back and since i included my phone number as one of the recovery options i was able to recover the account easily as they will send an OTP in your registered number. If you have not done that the only option is to wait for the response from their customer service representatives and they will ask you to verify your account by asking you to provide the recent mails you have sent or received.

I think rain interference is the only way India can survive this one since the match could possibly end up as a draw. This is a dominating performance by England in the first test in every single aspect.
You cannot expect rain in Chennai during this period, so that is out of the way  Grin. Rishabh Pant is counter attacking and playing as if he is playing the shorter format with a strike rate of 143. He is looking to disrupt the line and length of Leach and if he gets out in this period it will be disaster but if he gets through and score a big hundred it will be great.

Still 16 wickets (6 + 10)  are left in the match for Indian and being a number one team, someone should step up and save this ship.
If India bats longer then the match will end up in a draw, it all depends upon how much runs India will be able to put on the board in the first innings. India needs to build partnership and they can save the match.

I snipped the rest of the discussion so that we can get back on the topic of Cryptocurrency. Roll Eyes
The political ambitions and machinations of BJP are a different beast altogether and it is not our job to do anything about this juggernaut.
The topic is about the politics and how an elected government in a democracy could bring up laws and regulation without following democracy method. I am not involved in active politics but i am not a fan of right wing fascist politics as we already saw dictators like Hitler and Mussolini and you do not need another in the near future as the world is tired of these political regimes polarizing people with lies and propaganda.


Lets follow the simple formula and leave the politics out of it.
We are seeing the digital initiative of Modi, how many months they disconnected the internet connection in Jammu and Delhi and they think they can control everyone with all the control they have. You are aware of the things that is going on, you are into business and lets talk about how GST impacted your business and how about the impact in your business in the last one year. I personally do not care about anything what any government brings, i do not want anyone to set up a business in UAE  Tongue (pun directed to you Tongue) but i personally know people that are affected with the rules and regulation in the past several years and i know many that were forced to shut their business in the past couple of years.

I think both are kind of old now, and both being out of the game for too long.

If they do it, it will be for the money, and I don't think it will be an exciting game. I would watch it later on some free source, but I will not pay PPV.
Mayweather and Manny is old but Manny Pacquiao is still fighting and he is not out of the fight game for long as he last fought Keith Thurman in 2019 and last year there were no fights because of the CoViD situation as there were no audience allowed for the fight and hence they wont be fighting as they always look to make money whenever they fight and you cannot blame them.

I will pay for PPV if they are fighting again as i wanted to see them rematch.

Bitcoin is getting stronger day by day, don't invest your funds in shitcoins.
I actually like to see more adoption from the general population rather than big investors and some of these institutional investors does not really care about BTCitcoin, all they care is to pump and dump and make the maximum profit. mk4 already pointed out that Jack Dorsey is a real advocate for BTCitcoin for a very long time and he is not here to pump the coin but to see real changes.

Saying that he is very interested in Bitcoin is a huge understatement. This dude is pretty much one of the biggest Bitcoin advocates we have today lol.
Yesterday he tweeted about running a node and it was a big news with multiple site publishing the news and i was not aware about him funding the lightning network.

Finally India was able to pick the wicket of Joe Root and Shahbaz Nadeem could trap him in front of the wicket but it looks like the damage has been done and Rishab Pant is at again dropping catches behind the wicket and i wonder how many dropped chances were there in this innings as i just saw Pant dropping Buttler . Pant is constantly chirping behind the stumps usually Sri Lanka was known to constantly chirp to distract the batsman and now Pant is doing it full time Cheesy.
2431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: February 06, 2021, 08:16:46 AM
Maybe he should use the stool this time. It's going to be interesting seeing how he adapts his game and deals with those leg kicks which he's obviously going to be vary weary of. Is Poirier going to just keep kicking or try something else?
Dustin Poirier will entertain the trilogy with McGregor as he will be earning a hell lot of money than any of the fights and he is confident enough to defeat him once again, i am sure McGregor will be prepared enough to deal with the leg kicks but i am expecting Dustin Poirier to be careful in the first two rounds by taking him down and trying to make him tired and then starts punching him to oblivion  Cheesy.
2432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 05, 2021, 11:12:07 PM
The same Indian bowlers who looked lethal in Australia looks quite ordinary now. Perhaps the absence of Mohammad Shami is hurting them.
Washington Sundar is the only bowler who played in Brisbane included in the team and he was disappointing today and he was bowling loose balls every now and then.

And in Chittagong, Bangladesh is cruising towards a convincing victory against West Indies, as they are leading by 218 runs with 7 wickets to spare. This would mean that West Indies will finish at the bottom of the ICC World Test Championship.   
Bangladesh dominated the match and they will win the series easily. New Zealand already cemented their place in the Test championship final, England Australia and India is competing for the other spot.


I'm sensing bit of negativity and criticism of team selection and 1st day performance. So here is a one stat/scorecard just to cheer you up and keep your head high for today gameplay.

Same ground, England batted first and went to score 260+ on 1st day and when match finished they end up losing the game with the inning.
I was looking at the scorecard and i was wondering what happened to Karun Nair who scored a triple century in the match and he just played 6 Test match which is not fair for a player who scored a triple century in International cricket.  I am not expecting much, when India picked two consecutive wickets i was expecting India to dominate and started watching the match but nothing happened  Cheesy.

Bitcoin is entirely digital. There is, and never will be, a physical form of the digital currency. While fiat currencies have notes and coins, Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency, will never take on a physical form

The above is a quote from your site, since you claim that there will never be a physical form of digital currency, have you heard about physical BTCitcoin such as Casascius, Cryptmint coins and other forms of physical coins created by the fans. Then you can have physical bonds if any government is willing to hold a portion of BTCitcoin and start selling these bonds or even physical currency pledging BTCitcoin and countries undergoing inflation can allows adopt these, so you cannot say impossible Tongue.
2435  Economy / Economics / Re: Nigerian Banks To Close Accounts Involved with Crypto on: February 05, 2021, 05:39:49 PM
You should expect your accounts to be suspended soon if you've transacted with Binance Nigeria and other exchanges or custodial service using your bank account before. I hope you will find other ways to convert your cryptocurrencies to fiat and vice versa. Are there enough merchants that you can deal with P2P?
The best option is to start a new bank account with a different bank than you usually use to link your cryptocurrency exchanges, there are several sites that allow you to trade using P2P to Nigerian naira including Binance and i would say that it is the best option rather than getting your accounts in trouble. Just create a freelancing profile and if there are questions asked just identify them as project revenue and always pay your taxes to avoid any other legal troubles.

If you follow these then they are not going to identify these transactions as cryptocurrency related, always look for trusted users with verified profiles before carrying the P2P deal to avoid illegal sources;).

@ eaLiTy, they are winning elections after elections, and this proves that the ruling combination enjoys widespread support. In 2019, they won the states of Arunachal Pradesh and Haryana. Last year, they won Bihar by such thumping margin despite 15 years of anti-incumbency. During the 2019 parliament elections, BJP alone won 37.4% of the vote, which is a ground breaking achievement. So we need to admit that they are very capable of winning the elections on their own.
Reports are coming out regarding the Bihar elections, they did not manipulate the EVM but the accusation is coming out in regards to the Form 20 used by the returning officer when calculating the total votes. Usually the returning officer calculate them and then the observer monitors everything and then the results are announced but in the Form 20 uploaded in the website the some of the returning officers signed the document well after results are announced and that is not how elections are done.


And one of the reasons for this rise is the poor performance of the opposition parties. They don't even have any capable leaders. And every time the BJP set up some trap, the opposition politicians just fall in to those traps. 
I completely agree with you on this part, the opposition is not strong enough and they always fall for the trap the BJP set for them and they do not have a strong leader who can articulate things nor they are promoting people who are capable enough to take the leadership roles.


So our primary concern is about the proposed bill against cryptocurrency and how to respond to it. amishmanish in one of his posts warned that if this thing gets political, then Bitcoiners will lose out. I have to partially agree with him. If Bitcoiners organize themselves politically, then the BJP and its supporters in the media will claim that those who are doing illegal activity have now decided to defeat them in the elections. These people are very expert in pushing fake propaganda. So whatever we need to do, it should be done discretely.
Take a look at the history in which how the government always approach any protest, they try to make them anti national, if we set out to protest then they will make us the dark net drug suppliers and money laundering group and they can make our life a living hell in the name of investigation.
2437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Floyd Mayweather vs Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) on: February 05, 2021, 03:14:40 PM
Given the history between these two I sure hope this happens. If 50 could go in at his normal weight and this does end up being a winner take all match, I have to say it will be my most anticipated fight since Mike Tyson’s retirement.
I am not sure whether it will be an anticipated fight because Mayweather is a profession boxer but Curtis Jackson is not even an amateur boxer. I know they formed the TMT promotion and then parted ways and Curtis Jackson filed for bankruptcy a few years after that but i am not sure why they are bitter enemies to put together a fight Undecided.

I would like to see Ja Rule and Curtis Jackson fight rather than with a professional boxer  Grin.

Yes, this is confusing to know Ishant Sharma is being played in the first test instead of other younger ballers. I think the condition might suit his balling style, that might be the reason why he was chosen.
Ishant Sharma is a work horse and have enough experience playing in Indian condition while Jasprit Bumrah is making his debut playing Test in Indian conditions, so we can understand their logical conclusion in picking up the team. Shahbaz Nadeem was a surprise inclusion in the team as i did not see that coming but playing Ashwin and Washington Sundar in a team because it is their home ground Chennai and so they have the experience in bowling in that wicket.

Edit: Ashwin finally broken the partnership.
 Bumrah picking the second wicket  Cheesy

It is ridiculous to blame the EVM for the success of the right-wing. I am a regular visitor to India and I saw before my own eyes how the political scenario changed there. The UPA government of 2004-14 engaged in naked minority appeasement, which caused a polarization of the Hindu votes towards the BJP. The opposition needs to understand that if they want to win elections, then they need to prevent religious polarization. Because if polarization occurs, then it becomes 75% Hindus vs 25% non-Hindus.
So you saw minority appeasement when UPA government was ruling, why did you fail to see people getting killed for having their food of their choice during the BJP reign and you will see many FIR in which minorities getting killed because the RSS and BJP factions thought they were carrying beef. I am living in this country for a long time even though i travel outside from time to time but i have never heard these sort of situations earlier where people are killed for reasons beyond any comprehension.

The only reason the BJP came into power is simply because of the Pulwama attack and have you visited those places, i have and you cannot carry weapons and there will be checking point with soldiers with automatic riffles at designated distance every few kilometers and you think someone could carry huge amount of explosives and knowing the route map of the vehicles and timing so that a bus load of army personal will be traveling so that they could create a blast Roll Eyes.    

And from what I have found, there is widespread support for the CAA and the farm laws. Opinion polls conducted by various news agencies also confirms the same. Once again, the opposition parties made the mistake of giving this a religious color. The media houses (many of which are supportive of the ruling party) seized the advantage and did the rest. They made CAA a Hindu vs Muslim issue. And similarly, the farm law protest is being painted as a Hindu vs Sikh issue.
I have no idea in what lens you are viewing the country, if you are looking at the polls conducted by the BJP media and their IT propaganda cells you will see them having the majority, can you show any independent polls conducted by neutral agencies. Since you already know that majority of the national media is a propaganda tool for the ruling party i would like to hear about that.

Since you touched upon this topic, CAA was diverted into the Hindu Muslim issue by the ruling party and they know how to tackle these protest, the same they are doing it with the farmers protest, they are trying to paint them as Khalistan movement and Hindu Sikh issue. They only know to divide and rule that is an age old agenda by all the warlords. Majority of the people now understands the true color of the right wing nationalist who have no history in freedom fight movement but try to rewrite history by different means necessary using power and i bet they will not win another election anytime soon.
