I'm back on the notebook in Morrison'd cafe, and I've got a power socket. The netbook is fine for social posting, but it is a bit restrictive for web site maintenance. Things have changed now. There is a restricted menu, and the tables have plastic partitions between them, and tables are for groups of two of four. Only one person from a party is allowed to pay as well. There are only half as many tables as before, and not many people are using the restaurant at the moment, which is just as well, as there are only 2 staff members to do everything.

Most other places are take away only, and Costa only accept contactless payments, so that blows them out for me. I'll never use contactless, and I modified the one card I had when the bank refused to provide a non-contactless card. I drilled a small hole through the connection to the aerial inside the card. Things are still a bit paranoid, as you have to ask for a serviette. This is in case somebody has touched it before you get it, although the gloveless staff hand you your serviettes.

I'll explore a few others, as I believe Wetherspoon's is now open for coffee, but I think they have a more complex system for ordering and payment. I think I read that you have to install their app, and pay with your phone. That another place that I won't be able to use.

One of the staff memebers has just tripped over the base of one of the lane barriers that they are using. She crashed down whilst carrying a pile of trays, but doesn't seem to have any serious injuries. It shows that there is far more collateral damage as a result of the misguided restrictions that government's are imposing on business and the public. The coronavirus is a fairly minor virus infection - I believe it is ranked at 36 in the severity list, The banker's desire to use it to crash economies and fiat currencies are the real problems, and seem to be taking more lives than the virus.

Coronavirus can survive in the air for more than an hour, a top UK Government scientific adviser has warned.

“You go indoors for the cool, just as in the northeast and other cool places you go in for the warmth in winter, so you’re less socially distanced,” says Edward Nardell, MD, professor of environmental health and immunology and infectious diseases at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “You’re more likely to be touching the same surfaces that have been contaminated by people speaking and coughing etc.,” he says.

Guess what's back? Back again...

There is news emerging from Russia that a covid-19 vaccine being developed in the country has passed the phase of human trial, an excerpt of the news reads thus:
This news cannot come quicker for countries that are yet to reach their peak and still losing countless numbers of their citizens to corona virus daily. How reliable can this information coming out from Russia be, and if it indeed is true, what does it mean to the world at large and how do you envisage the commercialization process of the vaccine.

I do not argue that the tests could show positive results, but in my opinion, too little time has passed for scientists to make sure that there are no threats to the body, as negative consequences may not appear immediately.

Ehm sorry, but where do you even come from to make that kind of accusation? And who are those "many users" you are referring to? Click on the trust score and read why we had a trust issue and WHEN it was (2017). Are you even our member? And what is the problem that support is done by support and mod team and not by admins? Isn't this what support is for? Admins are site owners and fairly busy people, even though every one of them checks the game daily and talks to players all the time to gather feedback and help in complicated cases.

We used to have a player with the same username as yours, but that user requested an account ban, probably after numerous mutes issued for begging other players in chat and Private Messages.

So is your problem with DuckDice that we do mute people who've been reported for begging?

This is no secret, the people behind that website is pro BCH and it mislead a lot of newbies. If you have been long enough, you will see threads after threads about newbies thinking that it's BTC that they are getting and they go on a lot of problems. And they don't want to mentioned BTC, they call it Bitcoin Core, LOL. And according to them the real BTC is Bitcoin Cash.

@Lucius has a good thread about it, How Not To Buy Fake BTC!.

Not only they are pro BCH, but they tried to destroy BTC with a massive spam attack on the BTC blockchain, and at the same time by pumping up the price of BCH - I think the price difference back then was only some $2000 in favor of BTC.

For all those who missed the show, I recommend reading the chronology of events, and here you can see who of the more influential people turned their backs on the real BTC and supported the copy.

I'm glad that cricket is back for betting on here as its one of my favourite sports to bet on and that it gives me a chance to build up some golden tickets. Like I mentioned last week I bet on the WI to win as I thought they had a real chance at beating England as I thought both teams were even as there hasn't been any cricket played due to the virus and they just won. I'll use some of the winnings to buy a couple golden tickets and keep the rest for the next match.

I agree with you that  it will be very hard for BCCI to host IPL in their own country India . because covid-19 is being infected in horrible from in india.  if BCCI will hosts IPL in india then players from others countries will not come . so BCCI should decide to host IPL on NZ or UAE . i think BCCI should request the nz cricke board . otherwise IPL will not take place in this year.

There can be another possibility. The New Zealand government may have made the offer to the BCCI, without the knowledge of NZC. Similar incident already happened a few days back in Australia, when the government made statement regarding the T20 World Cup without the knowledge of the Australian board. If that was the case, then I would rather blame the official from the NZC.

Yeah, it will for sure have to proceed differently, but I do see it's no longer listed on the new homepage as of today (but still on the old version) now that the legs are decided. I think a lot of teams will fancy their chances at this one-legged affair, but it's such a shame cause I was currently on a good streak (4 in a row).

BTW, who else got Jimenez on this week's Majestic Seven? Not that I'll win anything, already missed 3! Last week had 4/7 so it was really frustrating ARGH.

If that is the case, then an economic recovery may take many years. During the last 4-5 days, the United States has reported anywhere between 60,000 to 70,000 cases per day. And remember that this count is even more than the highest daily count we had, even during the peak of the first wave (when states such as New York and New Jersey were affected in April-May).

If the government of srilanka puts adequate security measures then I do not it will be an issue. I think more than security covid19 is a big issue everywhere. Srilanka is still better place with less number of positive cases.

Few days ago I posted a post in which I said that the Trump is puppet of the Putin. Some guys were fighting about this.

Post link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5258823.msg54704214#msg54704214

And now everyone can see in this article the Trump is on the first step. And it is showing that he is puppet of Putin. And confirmed the cyber attack of 2018.

Just one point to bring in to all of this regarding the media. I think it's important for all of us to know, all around the world, that the media in any country is deliberatetly biased in some way and are trying to make the people think a certain way. The media is the gatekeepers to what news is selectwed, and then from there they handle how it is portrayed to people.

So it's not just the brainwashing of American citizens, it's the brainwashing of all citizens by their own particular government.

But based on the topic here: Trump has said time and time again that he won't talk about what is being done against a particular country (in war, counter intelligence, etc)

I could give you 30 different things,” he said. “I sent [Ukraine] a massive number of antitank busters. I sent them military equipment and Obama sent them nothing. That’s against Russia,” he says. “I made us the number one oil-producing country in the world. It wasn’t even close. I made us number one — that’s bad for Russia.”

Trump has used that military against Russia, and not just in cyberspace. The New York Times reported that U.S. forces killed several hundred Russian mercenaries during a February 2018 firefight in eastern Syria.

Talking about his efforts to counter Russia, the president also pointed to his success in persuading NATO members to increase their contributions to the transatlantic alliance. “I raised $140 billion from NATO countries going up to $400 billion [over three years], and what’s the purpose of NATO? Russia.”

The match shows that Atalanta position for now in Serie A and their achievements in Champions League are not because of luckiness. Indeed, they are very strong team. Excellent in attacking operations.

The total goals scored in Serie A by Atalanta maybe make us surprised but the match is a liveshow that demonstrates how strong Atalanta are.
Atalanta got a draw because of personal mistakes but they deserve a win match.
I agree with you both on the second position for Atalanta this season. Lazio has been in their poor period and I don't see signals that they will come back soon. The season is coming to the end and Atalanta with their fabulous form have due chances to end at 2nd position on the table.

I was very happy that real madrid. now we only need to win two games like you said and I hope that Granada and Villareal do not create any unpleasant surprises


I stopped placing bets on games involving the Portuguese league because it became very difficult to predict the games, I was even surprised by the poor performance of Benfica and Porto being at a great advantage

---

Real Sociedad 2 - 3 Granada



for a moment I thought this game would end in a draw

Just records to make now, and a victory to pursue. I know Barca won't just give up even though most of us fans have already done so. So hard to see Real slipping up now when penalties and VAR are all with them (not unfairly, just their luck good for them). But in football we always hope, right?

IMO, it is highly unlikely to see full stadiums in the autumn
it is hard to keep distance on the stadium, there would have to be a lot of security personnel and would not be an enjoyable experience, moreover first corona meltdown due to matches, and all will be off

That is dangerous. A test is just a snapshot. If you tested negative two days ago, you can suddenly be contagious today. A throat and nasal swab must be taken for detection. If it is done correctly, it is not fun. Very unpleasant. Some fans will only do it once.

Ever since COVID-19 took the world by storm, people have been resorting to the world of "Decentralized Finance" (De-Fi). Ethereum-based smart contracts provide many services known in the traditional banking industry such as lending and borrowing. There's been a boom in "De-Fi" tokens over the past months as the mainstream economy loses traction.

If the current monetary system collapses in its entirety, people will dive in the decentralized economy like never before. It seems that COVID-19 is accelerating adoption of decentralized cryptocurrencies as we speak. The longer the outbreak takes to disappear, the better it'll be for the growth of "Decentralized Finance". I've seen many people talking about ETH's several "De-Fi" platforms, bringing some hype to the industry. Compound tokens (COMP), and even DAI have increased in popularity in such a short amount of time.

Do you think that COVID-19 will become extremely beneficial to the decentralized economy in the long term? Is "De-Fi" way overhyped these days? What will happen with crypto once COVID-19 comes to an end? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

I think defi has a yet to be fixed flaw in that it requires someone with high liquidity assets to be put up as collateral. You can't yet, even though it'd be more beneficial to, take a loan out on less collatoralised debt such as stocks afaik and you calso can't do it with real estate (I.e with a 30% deposit so you still have to 150% collateral at start).

Defi is good for releasing $ from crypto and may evolve to add better options for non smart coins like btc (with htlcs or something) but for now I'm a but skeptical as to the uses of the current stable coins. I haven't used compound but I had to convert 1300 dai before and found I could get 1320 usdc on coinbase for it which I think is a bit of a problem (but that could just be me, it's like giving a euro of change instead of a pound imo though)...

It looks like. Its just for traders now, if it expands from that then it might be good.

Root has not been in form for quite sometime now and Buttler did play and scored 30 something runs in the 1st innings. However, Root's inclusion could have helped if he somehow regained his form.

I am rooting for Holder and Gabriel to take quick wickets and put pressure back on England. Stokes is the big wicket here. If they get him quickly, it is probably game over for England.

It's totally possible as long as Stokes stays in the middle and scores freely. West Indies will probably try to take him out asap.

Mercedes have a good team, Hamilton as #1 and Bottas as good an "thank you" sing man the also can win. Never change a running and good system i think. For Mercedes no reason and i think Bottas cheaper than Vettel. Mercedes lern from the #1 pair Hamilton/Rosberg

It is mainly good for Alonso itself... Guess he needs some extra cash, as with his Renault car, he will never be able to claim a top spot in any race.
The return of Alonso means one spot less for a young talent, who don't have the network or cash to claim the spot.

^^
Real need to beat City by 2 goals to advance, I think they are out. I have a good feeling for Bayern this season, I’m not sure why. I think they have the best balance throughout the team, a good defence, midfield & attack. Some of the other teams have great attacks but lack in other areas.
