Yesterday had some luckj with WOF spins, both from email subscription and Premium membership:   In the end had over 4200 tickets, but as always, ended without nothing. Now I see that 5 users who had less tickets than me won something this round. Well, maybe one day... |

South Korea and Thailand have announced that they will apply to the FIA to have a grand prix in their countries. An emissary will go to analyze the projects and decide on any candidature.
I hope it's not city circuits. South Korea had their track on calendar over than decade ago. Are they going to use same track. Somehow it didn't stuck in my memory very well, I just remember it was in the middle of nowhere. Nico Hülkenberg has already been announced by Kick Sauber F1 team for the 2025 season!  https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/27/rHjSa.pngIf it is true, Bottas and Zhou are both out of the team by the end of this season. One of their members has been decided by this signing but we don't know who Hülkenberg's teammate will be there. Yeah, Hülkenberg might sign for Audi maybe later but at least for one season we will watch him at Kick Sauber. While there is an opening at Haas maybe we might see Bearman being given a chance, what do you think? We are all waiting for confirmation about Sainz signing Audi, so, these news a bit unexpected. But logical choice, experienced driver who can give feedback about car for new team. Maybe he can even get his first career podium here if things will go as planned. BTW, there is some rumours from David Croft that Gasly is negotiating with Williams, while Zhou can go to Alpine. |

First of all, according toresources like Loyce.club or BPIP, your main account Polo7 is banned: https://loyce.club/profile.html?id=2640926Now you're evading band and most likely your return won't be long. Now back to the topic, in recent months it's notfirst topic about possible war between Russsia and France. But IMO, it's biggest nonsense for a while, I don't see any arguments why it could happen. If you would say that Russia can start war with Finland, Baltic states or Finland, it would sound more realistic. Ukraine will be stay with west ...but probably finland will go to russian ownership. Oh really, I always thought that Russia will be all over the Europe, from Moscow to Lisbon. |

With that, I immediately became hopeful that Benfica would come out victorious in this game. But the minutes of the game were passing and I didn't see any more goals, when the 84th minute of the game arrived and Benfica scored the second goal, I was convinced that Benfica would win this game. Then came the red card for the Braga player and in my opinion the referee acted very well in giving the red card. The Braga player put emotions into the game and because of his anger he committed an unnecessary foul: https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/04/27/rZmCc.pngWhen a player has this type of attitude, it hurts the whole team, with the expulsion of the brada player because of his bad attitude, it made it easier for Benfica to score the third goal. Also the Braga player will not play in the next game. Now Benfica needs to pray for Sporting to lose tomorrow and in the next game and Benfica would have to win in all the next games if they want to be champions. It is still possible for Benfica to dream of the title  If to look just at final score, it may look like easy game for Benfica, but actually it was so complicated as Benfica only took a lead on 85 minute. That red card and hard fould only show frustration of Braga player when his team is losing. Fortunately Di Maria wasn't injured because it could have ended much worse. Watched about of Vitoria Guimaraes - Boavista yesterday. Wasn't most exciting game, red card didn't let Boavista to fight for positive result. While Guimaraes is still fighting for place in UEFA tournament. Porto - Sporting already started, went witg BTTS and over 2.5 goals. Sporting can make another step towards title, while Porto needs win to get ahead of Braga. A bit strange that Gyokeres is left on bench. |

Wow! I can't believe LTU lost his duel on penalties despite having more attempts, but it's seems to be huge blessing in disguise for me, as I've gotten a point lead over my new opponent already with the tennis question, and there is just a single question difference between us after that which is RB Leipzig vs Dortmund where I have a goal in each half and he does too, only difference is I'm with over 3.5 goals, while he went with under... Anything other than that is next round for me  Painful defeat and my performance in cup ends as early as possible. Anyway, as I already said, my main focus this season is fight for promtion. Now I will have few empty weeks, so, probably will have to look for opponents for some friendly games. I am not sure what to think of Nadal's win, but he clearly wanted to make up for his loss against De Minaur in the last match. I can't really tell where to put De Minaur at the moment, but for Nadal, he is the kind of guy who could tremendously benefit from such a victory. He is really this dude who soaks up the energy from wins like that. Interesting things going on in Madrid. Loyal fans probably going for Nadal to win the tournament, but ya. This could be the one push he needs to be prepared for the French Open and I am looking forward to everyone's opinion here if Nadal were to win the Madrid Open. What do you think?
I'm very happy to see that Nadal still have it. But at the same time I'm a bit afraid that going far in these tournaments before French Open could lead to injuries. He had so many of it and now his body is like made from glass. 2024 French Open could be his Last Dance, so, I want to see him going as far as possible. Winning it would be like a dream. |

Well the final four location is decided before the season even starts, at least that's what I think. The last 2 years the final 4 was hosted in Spain ( Bilbao and Malaga ) so it's obvious they can't bring it back to Spain for the 3rd year in a row. Anyway, just watched the recaps of the games and to be honest, they were not too exciting, haha. Both the favourites won so, that's what it is. We will see a battle of the Spanish "best of the rest" in this one. Nope, it was actually decided just about month ago, so, such location is even more strange: https://www.eurohoops.net/en/fiba-champions-league/1647806/basketball-champions-league-final-four-2024-belgrade-serbia/Back to the basketball, it's getting boring that this tournament is dominated by mediacore (with all respect) Spanish teams. In the final I will support Unicaja, it would be their 1st trophy. On the other hand, you can't not love Marcelinho Huertas who being 40 years old become MVP of whole tournament. |

Barcelona - Olympiacos and Monaco - Fenerbahche both series is tied 1:1. You couldn't ask anything better from playoffs.
After halftime it looked that Monaco have no chance to win, their 3rd quarter was so poor, but 4th quarter was already complete opposite. Would be very surprised if this series will end before game 5 because we see fight of same level teams.
Barcelona - Olympiacos, today we already saw different kind of energy and intensity from Barca than in Game 1. They showed some elite defence tonight.
Does anyone follow BCL Final 4? Both semifinals were great, but favorites Tenerife and Unicaja won. But for me it doesn't makes sense, why they make Final 4 in Belgrade when there is 3 Spanish and 1 Greek teams is playing and nothing what could be interesting for locals.

Personally, I haven't noticed did any of my posts were moved to Off-topic and actually, I'm not really bothered about it. If you're concerned about your campaign, I suggest you to ask your campaign manager. But IMO, there shouldn't be a question. If campaigns clearly states that they're not paying for posts in Off-topic, you shouldn't expect to get paid for posts that were moved. No matter that you originally posted it in Gambling board. Well, unless posts were moved already after you got paid.

Yep, old-school cigarettes are vile, disgusting things which lead you to a miserable lung-cancer death. Avoid ever starting since it is so hard to quit.
I guess it more depends on person, some try it and get addicted. I can talk from my perspective. I tried cigarettes few times when I was very young, but I didn't liked and didn't become addicted. I smoke on extremely rare occasions now, but actually forgot when did I bought cigarettes last time. There’s no benefit of smoking. There’s nothing it does other than slowly kill you. If you want to lower stress and anxiety, there are so many ways to get that done. Some people even smoke electronic cigarettes thinking they are being smart but they don’t know that it’s just as dumb as smoking an actual cigarette. The carbon monoxide you say binds to hemoglobin in the blood, and reduces its ability to carry oxygen to his vital organs and tissues in his body. This can lead to a handful of problems that he probably doesn’t know. Encourage him to quit smoking. If he needs help, help him seek help. Or someday you may not have him any more.
I think that most people who smoke are aware about these things. I doubt that anyone thinks that's healthy to smoke, but they still do it. It's their choice, same like people choose to drink alcochol, junk food or too much energy drinks - none of these aren't beneficial for health too. Anyway, no matter how you will live, what you will drink or eat, in the end most likely that you won't be healthy when you will die. |

Panathinaikos tied series with Maccabi and now it goes to Belgrade. 1st half was some ups and downs, Maccabi dominating in 1st quarter and then PAO respondin in 2nd. In general, Panathinaikos looked better, but in 4th quarter there was moment when it looked that they can collapse. But it didn't happened. Career night of Sloukas and Papapetrou becoming unexpected X factor. Baskonia tried their best, they were close to Real significant part of game, but eventually Real run away. Simply different level. I created this thread for lovers of European basketball and I really would like to keep this thread free from useless posts that are only signature campaign spam.
Too bad that you didn't made this as self-moderated topic, but I guess that if such posts aren't often, it's not big issue. |

Do you guys have any news and predictions about potential players that are going to play for Real Madrid against Real Sociedad?
We all know Real will have very important Champions League match against Bayern in just few days, and I dont think they will risk a lot in La Liga when they have 11 points more than Barcelona.
Their squad list was announced today and it's 100% that Bellingham and Mendy won't play, Rodrygo after flu is under question too. I guess that more players can be left on bench tomorrow, but will be ready for substitution if things won't go as planned for Real. https://www.besoccer.com/new/madrid-squad-list-for-real-sociedad-clash-1312532We need a hard reset.
How many times I hard similar phrases in recent seasons? |

I don't know where you're from, but in place where I live, I wouldn't say that things is getting worse here. I would say that significantly less people smoke nowadays than it was 15-20 years ago. It's not just people's mindset is changing, but it's also getting too expensive to smoke.
But on the other hand more people starting to smoke things like IQOS, vapes and weed also. Not sure what is more harmful, but trends is changing. Curreent generation ternagers don't even look at these old school cigarettes.

I believe this is unlikely to happen. Campaign managers would evaluate this type of situation before approving a new user for their campaign. And even if it was accepted in both, the subscription campaign manager would most likely reevaluate keeping that user in the campaign.
Yeah, I'm sure that campaign managers wouldn't let to advertise two competing business at the same time - you can't sit on 2 chairs at the same time. But when probably 90% of campaigns is about gambling, it doesn't leaves many options to advertise something different. |

I want Xavi to change his mind and stay but the club is too cancerous for him to remain, I think for his sake, he has to go. Rough times for us all  I don't know what happened, but it looks that he really changed his mind - Xavi will stay in club until end of contract. It's even more unexpected that such news comes such painful two losses that we suffered. Not sure about toxic environment in club, I think it more comes from media and Xavi struggles to handle with pressure. But he need to stop fighting with referees and focus on football. It doesn't helps when he have to watch significant part of games from the stands and and team is left for his brother to manage. |

The important things:
- Ukraine knows what works and what does not.
- Ukraine can hit oil facilities. I expect that now to happen after the US elections. Latest drones are above the 1000 km of range (some say 3000 km, but I am not giving yet credit unless I see evidence).
- Ukraine has learnt from the Surovikin line and now has its own.
- Ukraine can stop Ruzzia in the front, is willing to do so and is willing to bleed Ruzzian economy hard.
I see that there is a clear direction. Optimal result: Crimea cut from railway lines this year.
The muddy waters in which some here live:
It was also confirmed today that will get ATACMS rockets with range up to 300 km. And as we already saw few times, it was actually already delivered to Ukraine and they already used it to hit targets in Crimea. But that's not the most important thing. It was confirmed that Ukraine will get 7 Patriot systems - it's something that they needed a lot. I hope that Kharkiv, city who suffers most from Russian attacks will get at least 1-2 Patriot's. |

First of all, welcome back! I'm wondering how do you decided to comeback here after so many years?
Probably you would like to get back your old account, but I think it's too complicated or even impossible. First of all, if back then you were keeping most of coins on BTC-E exchange, so, I doubt that you have staked BTC address somewhere, asociated with Bitcointalk account.
And even if we ignore fact that this account was banned for plagiarism, I think it's kinda ruined already by someone who used it after you.
And I'm not sure how rules can be interpretated in your case, but it's possible that ban evasion can be applied for you.

Euroleague playoffs started with a bit unexpected Maccabi win at OAKA arena against Panathinaikos. It looked that PAO controls the game, but not sure what happened to them in 4th quarter where Maccabi made a comeback. Unfortunately, saw 4th quarter only partially because of problems with internet... Now main question is Baldwin injury, how serious it is.
Real dominating against Baskonia, whole 4th quarter is remainining, but difficult to expect comeback here.
Monaco - Fenerbahche and Barcelona - Olympiacos starts tomorrow.

@LTU_btc even with -5 it was just about delaying and trying to keep Real as much occupied as possible so they get distracted but now, they will win early, and be able to focus on Champions League final, which of course they will go to. It hurts a lot now to be Blaugrana Yeah, even with -5 points it still would be almost impossible, but still, it would give little hope and some pressure for Real. And I already forgot when we beat Real last time, I guess it was last season. Now El Clasico brings only bad emotions. BTW, congrats with yellow cap, mate! |

Situations like this shows that's impossible to rely on Bitcoin only. If you're business owner, you must offer alternative payment options. If you're accepting just Bitcoin, then such situations can cost you a lot because I doubt now there is many people who are ready to spand their Bitcoins and overpay a lot.
Not that I'm spending my BTC so often, but I'm affected by this situation. My IPTV subscription is ending soon. Always paying for it with BTC, but this time I will have to look for other way. Don't have much altcoins and to get it now I would have send some BTC to exchange, not going to do it for obvious reasons. So, probably will have to pay by card.

So, now it's official - Inter Milan is winners of 2023/24 Serie A season. It was only matter of time, but probably there can't be better way to take Scudetto than winning city derby against your main rivals when they're playing at home. And Milan today didn't looked like a team, capable to ruin celebration for Inter. Ok, wrote it a bit too early, 2nd half was complete dominance of Milan but only thing that they managed to achieve is 1 goal.
