If you really want to start betting on sports than I would recommend the European championship that started yesterday. There are tons of games and a lot of money to be made. In case you are new to football then just go almost risk free bets. Especially now at the beginning of the tournament there are still plenty of weak teams in that have to play against top teams. If you look at France or England and bet when they play 3rd class teams it will be easy money.

Two more points I would add to become fat recently. The first is the pandemic, in my country all gyms where closed for a year, there was completely no indoor sport solution. The only chance you had was going running on the park, or riding a bike. I used to play football and tennis and go climbing from time to time. All this stopped overnight and I gained 10 kg since the start of the pandemic. The second point is the cheap foot in the super market with a lot of fat and carbs.

This story about the brain chip from Elon Musk seems crazy, there are a lot of opportunities a small neuroscience computer in our head could help us. But why are people not afraid of it and how it will change us? I still remember when the first words of the corona vaccine got out and people started to believe that Bill Gates is behind it. Everybody got scared that Bill Gates will implement micro chips with the vaccine, but for Elon Musk it's okay? To be honest we shouldn't trust any of the Billionaires, all they care about is their own wealth.

Unfortunately in our society truth becomes subjective, if you have enough money and power than you can change the truth. In politics and social media lies become a big part of the job.  Warm spring is nice, I prefer it to summer. During summer it just too hot and people become very lazy. Like a sunny spring or autumn day is so much better.

Yeah it is still a gamble but France looked so strong, I think they will easily be first in the group, and Hungary likely will be last. It all comes down to Portugal and Germany. But for one of them to actually be eliminated in the first group would also mean that the #3 place in the other groups must perform exceptionally well. But you are right, it is better to wait for the first to games and then bet. I would just try to hedge my overall bet of France winning the tournament with some smaller side with very low risk.

Amen! I full agree with you. Vacation is really important for all of us to relax. It is hard to give 100% of our productivity the whole year without a break. In my opinion should vacation be atleast two weeks, twice a year. The problem with letting go during vacation is that one week doesn't seem enough, it takes just one week to get out of the usual office day rythm. For me the real relaxation only comes in the second week of vacation. Last year due to covid I only had one week of vacation and it was really horrible. We need time to relax.

I saw that the odds for Portugal and Germany winning the tournament are exactly the same, and for France the odds are a little better. To be this is a surprise since all three are in the same group and there are some decent chances that one of them won't even make it out of the first round. Can't we profit of it? Like betting on France winning and either Portugal or Germany getting knocked out in the first group?

I don't think that this is realistic. Reaching a 100% vaccination is not going to happen because a few sceptics will always deny it. And the other reason is that your body not be immune forever, it looks like with corona we need to refresh the vaccine already after 12-18 months. For other type of vaccines this is usually 5-10 years.

Telecommunications companies seem to be a great investment at moment. For me Nokia is no exception. The demand for better Internet and telecommunications infrastructure is unchallenged. The data usage every year is increasing, so the networks need to constantly upgrade. Also I noticed that telcos pay pretty high dividends which is also attractive.

I am a bit afraid of hackers taking over Elon Musk twitter account. What if they release another doom message and send bitcoins another 20% down? I think we need some month of calmness in the crypto world to recover. It would be nice though if anonymous could expose Elon Musk with his manipulation in the crypto markets. I am not trusting him anymore.

What is so wrong with being vaccinated? Don't you guys want to eventually stop wearing a mask in public? If no one gets the vaccine we will never break the cycle of new corona outbreaks. Without vaccines we will likely see another wave hitting us in autumn and winter. Unfortunately it takes 80% of the population to be vaccinated to reach some kind of herd immunity.

I had similar problems like you when I was in school. My parents didn't have a lot of money and I needed to buy my own computer parts if I wanted to upgrade something. I had two ways of making money in school, the first one was tutoring some younger kids after school. I was always strong mathematics and physics, so it was just natural for me to help out kids in my class and the classes below me. The good thing is you can do it in school and don't need to go anywhere. My second way was working full time during the long summer holidays.

Yes the traditional browers like Chrome or Firefox won't support the dark web. The dark web is just an part of the internet, that can't be accessed via www. You need a different browser like TOR to access the dark web. While there are also quite a lot of criminal activities going on, there are also quite a lot of average people.

I have bad news for you, just read on Monday morning that it appears the immunity after the vaccination drops off between 12-16 months. It is very likely that we all need another shot in 2022. It will probably be only one instead of two shots and also the side effects are going to be not so severe. While the politicians are making decent money always, I think the big money is being made in the pharma companies. The big players producing the vaccine, the test centers all around the world, the pharmacies selling more drugs. The whole supply chain in pharma is getting rich right now.

I don't think we will see another world war. The problem is first of all that too many countries have nuclear weapons. If for example USA and Russia would go to war with each other the whole world could die to nuclear fall out. There are two types of war I expect we will see in the future, the first being proxy wars like in Ukraine, and the second one would be economic trade wars.

How can you say that crypto money is dirty? And in the same thread you want us to give you bitcoin.

I don't think it's right to just ask for an hand out here. Are you offering anything for the community?

I agree, civilian protest always look nice on the news, because it is so dramatic to have burning stores and looting people on the street. But if you put the number people in a city into relation to the number of protests, we see that is a very small number of the population that actually engages in the protests. And we also don't really know if it is a natural protest, or something organised by some rich people who want to use if it for a political agenda.

It all comes down to if we are interested in sports and watch games regularly. While betting is a nice way to earn money on the side I think that it's important we actually follow the sport we bet on. Just waking up one day and deciding we want to bet on football games now is not a good idea. But if we are very familiar with our home team and we know that they will win in a game on their home stadium than we should definitely bet.

At work I only get 2 masks per month which is definitely not enough. I only need to go to the office twice per week, so it's not so many masks I need to buy. I understand why masks are necessary,to protect others in case I am infected. But if we need to wear a mask at work I think that our employer should buy the masks.

Finally someone is speaking the truth. Anonymous is a great network of hackers who have exposed liars on the past. After the recent weeks we can all see the real picture of Elon Musk. He obviously only cares about his own position and not about his million followers. We should be very cautious for the future and don't trust Elon Musk anymore.
