I don’t think I added url links to any mixer website. I’d have to take a look at that thread again to see if I’m breaking the rules.
That's my bad. I thought that word ''mixer'' will be blacklisted from 1st of January. But now I re-read theymos announcement again and I see that only url's will be blacklisted, posts were mixers are just mentioned won't be affected.

And the fireworks today have been in Belgorod. Unfortunately this time there is no specific military objective hit publicly, but rather several impacts in the city that have hit buildings and streets - my guess this is partially due to interceptions and the like since some s-300 have been seen flying at night - perhaps the strike was trying to reach a military target.
If you're talking about attack on Saturday, I'm sure that Ukraine's target wasn't centre of Belgorod - it just doesn't makes sense. Most likely these rockets were moving towards military object but were shot down by Russian air defense. From Russian side they're saying that it Vampire - basically same old Grad, too short distance to reach Belgorod and Vilkha (up to 130, some versions up to 200 km)
About tonight, there was air raid alert in Belgorod, but seems that nothing serious didn't happened.

Well, the ZioNazis used NATO cluster munitions in busy shopping hours over a market because, well, they are ZioNazis and that's what ZioNazis do.  At this point I cannot think of an evil action that I would rule out for these demons.  Jesus nailed it when he called these people children of Satan.  Slight consultation for the Russian civilians, but it's worse in the ZioNazi playground of Gaza than in Belograd for sure.
Are your referring to attack on Belgorod? Well, Russia is doing it on daily basis for almost 2 years, but you remain sildent about it and it's ok for you death of innocent civilians. But when same thing happened in Russia - oh no, it's Ukraine making terrorist attack against innocent civilians. I just can rephrase Russian UN ambassador for you :
Quote
Russia's UN ambassador Vasily Nebenzya said Moscow Kyiv had attacked only military infrastructure and that Ukraine's Russia's air defense systems were responsible for civilian casualties.

Thanks for putting lot of effort and summarizing what happened here in 2023. And it looks that there is lot of things happened this year, both positive and negative. And there is some events that I missed somehow until I saw review - I wasn't aware of Cyrus giving banned users second chance. And it looks that significant part of your post will be consored after few hours - we all know what will happen here from 1st January Smiley
P.S. Little detail - some links in your postdoesn't works, but it doesn't matters that much.
Happy New Year for everyone here!

WTF I just watched? That was crazy. Joe Cullen was up 2:0 vs Luke Humphries and makes big comeback. Then Cullen misses 2 match darts in 7th set and cherry on top Humphries missing 9 match darts and still surviving it. Crazy how Cullen bottled it. You can rewatch epic last leg here:

Luke Littler eliminates another big name Raymond van Barneveld and he is already in 1/4 final.
And yeah, getting names like Michael Smith or Gerwyn Price eliminated so early, now Micheal van Gerwen is main contender to win.

After another loss Zalgiris sacked coach Maskvytis and he will be replaced by Andrea Trinchieri. This time it's already officila news. IMO, poor results isn't just Maksvytis fault, Zalgiris squad is weak and they had lot of injuries. But changes probably were needed as it looked that players don't have much faith in coach.

what is a reason for that?
Officially it's because Fenerbahche couldn't guarantee safety of Maccabi in Turkey:
https://basketnews.com/news-199470-fenerbahce-maccabi-game-to-take-place-in-lithuania.html
And seems that there is tension going on between happening between Turkey and Israel as Turkish president called Israel Prim Minister Netanyahu not much different than Hitler

when we are at match visits, last home match by Partizan against Virtus was used for a big humanitarian action to collect toys for children without parents for NY, it was a pretty great atmosphere, and playground was covered by toys
you can see some of that on a link - https://twitter.com/PartizanBC/status/1740429800152387782
It looked amazing, love this tradition from some basketball and football clubs!

Personally I'm not waiting for big changes. After all in 2023 we got 2FA what is big thing and we waited for it so long. New forum software, I doubt that we will get it next year. And I'm not sure that I'm waiting for it that much. After so many years using current version it will be difficult to get used to new forum look.
Mainly I just want no more changes in negative direction. Mixers got banned from forum this year, not worth to expect that it will return. But I don't want to see more things banned from Bitcointalk because of regulations or pressure from institutions.

Benfica's goalkeeper was also very good. When Famalicão's attackers really caused danger, the goalkeeper defended exemplarily.
It is interesting to note that when this goalkeeper arrived at Benfica, he was criticized a lot, and had slightly weaker performances. But now he's been doing very well, keeping quiet about all the criticism.
Despite that score was 3:0, I don't think that Benfica played that well, when score was 1:0 they allowed way too much to Famalicao, but as you said, goalkeeper Trubin perfromed very well and kept another clean sheet for Benfica. And fortunately my over 2.5 goals bet was saved with late Benfica goals.
Porto didn't played that bad, but failing to score more than 1 goal against one of weakest teams in league isn't ok, risk that something can go wrong remained until last minute.
Portimonense - Sporting will be last game in 2023 and Sporting have great chance to end year as league leaders.

For me it is a primitive method of displaying strength in any International politics. If the International organizations don't take drastic action against Russia, it may degenerate to global ww 3 in it's primitive method.

In 1995, after the killing of Ken Saro Wiwa by the Nigerian Government after several warnings, the Nigerian state was cut off from the International politics and economy.

The Nigerian civil war became weak by the same sanction imposed on the Biafrans.

A complete sanction is needed to be imposed on Russia for a period of 10 years. Cut them off from all forms of both international and local transactions.  Hunger and starvation will drag their obedience.

Garmany and the U.S must spearhead this move.

Your thoughts is good, but unfortunately, reality is a bit different. Weight and influence of Russia and Nigeria is so much different that's not even worth to compare. It's easy to cut off completely country like Nigeria or any other country which don't have much influence in world politics. While Russia - West is imposing sanctions against them with one hand, but with other hand they bypass their own sanctions and continue doing business with them and funding war in this way. Maybe not so public like they used to do, now doing it through countries like Kazakhstan andsimilar countries, but outcome of it - average Russian don't feel sanctions that much in their daily life.
And another factor why it's different case from Nigeria is Nuclear weapons that Russia have, West is afraid of possible escalation.

The fact that there are no signs of a settlement or ceasefire in sight will make it difficult for Ukraine to launch a counter offensive in the future. At the same time it will create the risk of a new attack from Russia. Now from the Kremlin's side too their attack has stalled. There is no sign of any big success coming soon. Russia can now use this status quo to inflate their war economy. It could also import more weapons from allies like North Korea. If the war does not more problems may arise worldwide.
Time and possible ceasfire wouldn't work in favour of Ukraine, it would only help Russia. As we already saw with long awaited counteroffensive. While Ukraine was waiting for weapons, missiles, tanks and etc, it was more than enough time for Russia to build several defense line in Southern Ukraine what didn't allowed Ukraine to advance towards Melitopol. While Russia getting more time - maybe they would make new wave of mobilisation, rotation of troops and would make some more rockets, tanks and etc.

I guess it may be the end of Roger Grimau in Barcelona. Another defeat and it's big this time 91:71 vs Monaco, they had no chance today. On Basketnews Discord channel their journalist said that Grimau may be sacked before the end of 2023, wouldn't be surprised at all.

I like Efes and I'm supporting them by going to their Euroleague matches as Efes' stadium is in a 10-minute distance to my home. However I'm a big Fenerbahçe fan. Tongue
Now it's clear Smiley. I guess there is no big rivalry between Efes and other big Istanbul clubs as they don't have such long history and football club behind them. It looks that next home game of Fenerbhche against Maccabi is moved to my country. Probably I won't be able to visit it as it's played about 70 km from city where I live. Interesting how much ticket will cost, they haven't started to sell it.
470  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you see young girls who engage into prostitution on: December 29, 2023, 09:18:19 PM
I haven't thought much about it. First what I would like to say that no father wouldn't want that his daughter would become prostitute. In most cases I feel sad for these girls. They took this job not because it was their dream. It's mostly because of poor life, lack of education and similar reasons. They didn't become prostitutes because they wanted to buy newest iPhone or designer clothes.
But I think that prostitution should be legal and regulated like we already have in somedevelopped countries. After all, these girls aren't doing any crime and it's theirchoice what to do with their body. They will have to pay taxes, but they also will get some protection and social guarantess.
You mentioned girsl sending integrity for phones, clothes, hair and etc. This is what OnlyFans models are doing. They're not much different from prostitutes, only difference that they're selling their bodies virtually.

I know about international cups hosted abroad, but I never heard about domestic cup hosted in different country, except in cases of war.
Turkish Supercup isn't first domestic cup made in foreign country. Spain making their Supercopa in Saudi Arabia since 2019, Italian Supercop also will be held in Saudi Arabia in January. France supercup played in different country almost every year (USA, Canada, Morocco, Tnisia, China, Israel, Gabon, Austria).
But this story is ridiculous, game got cancelled some minutes before the game when stadium was already full of spectators.

The Super Cup match to be played today between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray has been cancelled due to the disagreement between the Saudi Arabia government and the teams. According to the first news seen on the Turkish media Saudis wanted the Saudi Arabia national anthem to be played before the match instead of Turkish national anthem. After that they forbade one to enter the pitch with the founder father of Turks Atatürk t-shirts and jerseys. As Atatürk is red line for us Turkish people Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray decided not to enter the pitch after this decision.

In short the 5th question in the BSFL will be void if there isn't any big change.
When I saw news that game got postponed, I thought wtf it's going on. I didn't knew that they're playing in Saudi Arabia until saw more detailed post on twitter. It's ridiculous...
@notblox1, many countries playing their cups/supercups in other countries, especially in Saudi Arabia. It's all about the money, Saudi Arabia paying big money to accept such events

But me and LTU_btc are all even until H2H left, can't believe we both lost on last question. I chose 4 points and he chose 6, I knew Arsenal would drop points but come on man, losing at home to Moyes sheesh that's the meaning of taking risk but not enough.
After Arsenal lost game, I was disappointed, but I didn't realized that this result doesn't fits for you too. Sp, everything will be decided on H2H question tomorrow

We managed to defeat Anadolu Efes in the Turkish derby played in the Euroleague by 89-84 this week. I don't think that Anadolu Efes coach Erdem Can will maintain his job. I think Nick Calathes was the star of the match at Fenerbahçe. The Greek guard who had difficulties in 3-pointers became one of the names who brought the win to their team with a 60% field goal percentage this evening.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/12/28/I9uBo.md.jpeg

Even though I followed the match among Anadolu Efes supporters there were many Fenerbahçe fans at the stadium just like me.  Grin
I thought that you're Efes fan as you often post photos from their home games Cheesy. Congrats with a win! It was nice one and really tough, Efes were leading most part of game. Calathes is hot now, who could have thought that he will perform so well under Jasikevicius
Partizan lost at home to Virtus. Saw only end of game as I watched Istanbul derby. Virtus were leading most of time, but Partizan had great chance to win. But obviously not Kaminsky had to receive ball for buzzer-beater.
Olimpia had no problems with Baskonia, Valencia almost made comeback against Bayern, but still, hosts won, Real won against ASVEL just by 1 point and Zalgiris are digging up in the bottom. But it's really profitable to bet against them when they play at home, bookies giving nice odds for away team.

Have you ever thought about the Bitcoin transaction fees? When I tried to make a deposit through Bitcoin, it seemed to charge approximately $17, and transactions had to be confirmed within 15 minutes, as displayed on the payment page. Do you think I should wait a week, or will Namecheap accept a delay? The card seems to cost me nothing to make a deposit on Namecheap. I'm not sure if it's free for now. But it doesn't make sense to pay $17 fees to make a $50 deposit.
When I made post, I had transaction fees in my mind, but I didn't thought that it can cost so much. But yeah, netwrok congestion. It's good that you already had ballance on RedotPay, otherwise you would have to pay huge fees to topup your ballance with Bitcoin.
From what I remember, Namecheap gives more time than 15 minutes to confirm transaction. It's 1 or 2 hours, but I may be wrong. But I remember paying for other services many times during network congestion and my ballance got credited even on next day after timer got expired long time ago.

So did anyone ever find a direct way to contact these people?  I'm having the same issue that seems everyone else is having with getting into a account that access was lost to.  So I'd like to send them a message that will actually get a reply from them.  Thanks in advance.
Direct way? I guess nobody here doesn't knows other ways to contact them other than these which are displayed in public. So, either you can write to support@freebitco.in or PM TheQuin on Bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=143168
But you're not first who complaining recently about not getting response from Freebitco.in. In past their communication was great, but now things has changed. TheQuin haven't visited Bitcointalk since 5th December.

I have only one question: does this virtual card work with Apple Pay and/or Google Pay?
From information displayed here:
https://support.redotpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/8152747544719-RedotPay-card-limitations-fee
Virtual card should work with Apple Pay and Google Pay

Namecheap accepts payment in Bitcoin, so paying using a Bitcoin card is a meaningless additional fee especially since the payments may not be returned to you or have refund option.
This part looked strange for me. Why to make things complicated? Namecheap accepts Bitcoin, so, why just don't pay directly using Bitcoin?
And price for virtual card, maybe $10 is ok, though haven't checked how much other cards costs now. But $100 for physical card, what a joke.

Can confirm that Vana Talinn is really good thing what let you to feel war in cold winter evening, but I must admit that never tried it with a beer Cheesy.
Really love how Sportsbet.io interact with their community!

Is this stuff even legal in most countries?
40% sounds like a very strong alcohol, more like something you would use to for medicinal purposes or for dentist.
40% isn't that much, it's normal. Most of vodka is 40% and you can easy find drinks 50% strong. But it's completely different thing when you mix these things with a beer, you have to feel when it's time to stop Cheesy

Michael Smith won vs Madars Razma 4:1, but it wasn't that easy as it may look. In 4th set Razma was leading 2:0 and was close to make set result 2:2, but then he made some misses and lost his throw. And player like Michael Smith don't forgive such mistakes.
Michael Van Gerwen didn't had any problems against his countrymen Richard Veenstra and beat him 4:0. Journey of teenager continues - Luke Littler eliminated Matt Campbell. Only match todaay where all 7 sets were needed was between Scott Williams and Martin Schindler. It ended with Williams win, who was underdog here.

There is something wrong happening with Barcelona recently. Now they lost to Unicaja in ACB league and lost quite big. Few more losses and I guess that chair of Roger Grimau may become hot. And great vibe in Malaga, always fun to watch their games with orchestra playing during game Cheesy.
7 Euroleague games tomorrow, perfect time to watch some good basketball when there isn't much football in action (except EPL). Starting with Istanbul derby between Efes and Fnerbahche, where Fener is big favorite IMO.They're playing great with new coach, while Efes is struggling a lot with so many injuries. And Partizan - Virtus in early slot.
Later Olimpia - Baskonia looks like best game to watch.
