What is happening to the world of sports now? why do we have a lot of clown who try to ruined the reputation of the sport?

A youtuber fighting an ex MMA fighter, I don't like what I'm seeing anymore, sorry, but I feel like they are trying to make a circus in the sports just to make money. They use their popularity to influence their followers so they can get some money by supporting their fight. Unreal, the Logan brothers are really focus on boxing now than on their youtube channel.

The set up is now different, start making yourself popular in youtube so you can be a boxer.  Roll Eyes

Well it is unfortunate that this has become the current state of boxing. Many of the promoters think that these fights are needed right now and they favor having these fights because they needed the money to make a profit especially right now that regular sports cannot hold ordinary fights that can attract many people to come and see them. But of course the PPV arena is a good time right now for them to take advantage of course. So they just pick any popular guy and see if they could profit.
These types of fights are pathetic. Jake paul at least knows how to box, but putting a MMA fighter up against him is a joke. The MMA guy is going to lose everytime. Same thing happened with Connor Mcgregor and Floyd Mayweather, MMA guy gets his ass whooped.

I would say that the current state of boxing has made these sort of fights necessary. MMA has just become too popular and boxing has suffered a major decline in the last 30 years.

Regardless of that... I’m looking forward to the two upcoming Paul brothers fights and think they’ve brought a lot of attention back to the sport. I wouldn’t be watching boxing tonight otherwise.

I did a little googling real quick and found that anything under 103c should be considered ok.  If it were me I'd do more research, but it sounds like this isn't specific to your card and is what is to be expected.

I am like you though and will always make sure to go cooler than needed with my rigs.  I've always been an underclocker as opposed to an overclocker.

All that being said, this guy seems to be getting his VRAM temps down with a thermal pad solution that might be worth giving a try:

Zion Williamson has been going off lately, averaging nearly 30 points per game and his fg% is off the charts.  He's the #8 leading scorer in the NBA now and his recent games would have him at #3 if he went at that pace all year.  I guess when people expect a lot from you, they don't show much appreciation.  This kid is having a major breakout season and it seems like nobody is talking about it.  I think next year his stats will be so good that he'll start entering the MVP discussion, then maybe people will starting putting some 'spect on his name.

Elon Musk visited the Giga Texas factory in the Cybertruck prototype yesterday.  I imagine that must have been pretty cool to witness.  Construction of the facility has been going at breakneck speed and there's been some talk of starting Cybertruck production early at the Freemont, CA plant while we all wait eagerly for the Giga Texas factory to be completed and start rolling these babies off the assembly line.

Jake Paul might be a decent guy behind the scenes, and away from the cameras honestly, but his whole persona in front of the cameras annoy the hell out of me. However, you have to admit that this is exactly the reason why so many people will be watching this fight. They aren't interested in seeing Jake win, and if they were partial to Jake then they might not tune in at all. However, because he's built up such a reputation with his antics over the years, he's turned a lot of people against him, which means people want to see him lose, and he's taking advantage of that, and run away with the money. Whatever you say, you can't say the kid isn't smart, and a proper businessman.

However, his antics in the open workout the other day really annoyed me. As a fan, we like to look at how the fighters are looking leading up to their fight right? So he comes out with this warmup stretching routine, which offered nothing.

Jake Paul is a mastermind, I'm going for a Ben Askren TKO Cheesy

I don't know anything about him behind the scenes.  He seems like he's riding his older brother's coattails, but he seems to be doing a rather good job being successful at it.  Now he's earning himself legitimate paydays or so it seems.  It he can pull out a W then I think it makes the Mayweather fight more interesting.

After seeing him being interviewed on Impaulsive, I actually like Ben Askren more than Jake Paul and my take on it is that Jake is a bully who is picking on the guy he thinks is the weakest.  Karma would make me think Jake deserves a loss, but we'll see how well his calculated decision to fight Askren turns out for him soon enough.  I'm just excited to see the fight for some reason.  Not really sure why.

1) Retract your statement about the seats being over 125% "ROI".

No.  That is a fact.


2) Inform NastyFans on who stole the miners that were being donated to their organization, when it happened, and what was sent. *Another sign of mismanagement and/or shady activities behind-the-scenes. There is simply no legitimate reason OgNasty wouldn't have called out a thief who ran off with our miners.

No.  Everything was public.  If you want to go find the information, feel free to do so.  It isn't my responsibility to do your research for you.  Quite likely these events occurred prior to the creation of the trust network, which would be one of many possible explanations why there is no trail of "calling out" to your satisfaction.


3) Retract your statements about me "demanding" you remove your signature in 2016. I never once asked you to remove anything. I expressed my disappointment, that's it. And related, retract your recent new lies saying I "lost money gambling".

No.  You are most definitely mad at me for wearing a signature that I removed for you before the end of my promised advertising period based on nothing more than your crying about lost funds.  You can call your harassment expressing your disappointment if you want, but it continues today, half a decade later.  Sure seems like an irrational holding of a grudge for me taking my responsibility as a paid advertiser seriously and exploring what happened before immediately jumping to conclusions.  No wonder you and suchshame get along so well...


4) Knock off your baseless & deceptive attacks when you can't talk about the subject at hand.

I'd love to never communicate with or see your name ever again.  Stop making up lies about me and attempting to derail my threads and we'll have no interaction whatsoever.  I don't want to be associated with any part of your life, it is you that seems to need to be in mine though.

In short, grow up and fuck off already.  Problem solved.  *drops mic

Engraving one of these coins for a buyer today and I really must say that they are exceptionally beautiful.  Easily my favorite silver coin that I've ever done.  I'm planning to give a few of them away with an upcoming giveaway to NastyFans members and will post more information once everything has been formalized.  Until then, if you're looking to spend some BTC at the all time highs, these coins aren't a bad way to do so.

This makes me a bit wary of my ARKK ownership. Feels like Cathie Wood has too much capital and is just tossing money at new companies with good stories now. Moves like this without concern for valuation have me wondering if we’re approaching the end of this tech bubble.

NastyMining has just purchased 1,500 NastyFans seats for 0.75 BTC on the public auction. The plan is for these seats to refuse distributions leaving more BTC from distributions for the rest of the seats. I will relist these seats at higher BTC prices to add more supply for potential buyers and possibly increase the BTC amount held in savings.

I feel for him though. Sounds like his life means more to him than a ring, as it should be.

Players can't just say that they will retire that fast so, on that quick decision, we can assume already that his health situation is critical.

A big Respect to Aldridge! Health over winning a championship. He can choose to be sidelined and no need to retire but he still chooses to stay at home, with his family, for good.

If he was spooked enough and thought he was gonna die, I could see him retiring immediately regardless of what the doctors tell him about his future.

I’m not sure about the rules with championship rings, but isn’t it possible he would still receive one if the Nets won? I should probably Google the number of games one has to play to get a ring with that team, but it seems like a possibility.
8791  Other / Meta / Re: Meriting a user who just merited you on: April 15, 2021, 09:15:15 PM
I really think it's weird that there are merit sources on this forum who have literally exchanged hundreds of merits back and forth, but people are worried about the newbies who exchange one or two with each other that they originally had to earn at some point to be able to give...  Just figured I'd point that out.  If you really want to stop merit abuse at a level of more than 1 or 2 merits here and there, then a merit cap of 50 merits that one user can send to another over the life of their accounts would make a whole lot more sense, particularly for the merit sources (Disclaimer: I am a merit source).  
8792  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS] My Casascius Collection on: April 15, 2021, 09:05:42 PM
Interesting read, thank you about that. It's funny to think/know that some people desires (in your case the initial liking of the whole idea) end up turning into valuable collections/items. I do reckon that even if you don't find any buyer for them you'll still manage to have a physical display of something that already has it's place in history + in the future you may be sitting in something that will be even more desirable. In that regard I wish you the best of luck in selling these.

Also, thank you for sharing your story regarding how this collection came to be.

You're welcome.  I tend to think we're all living a Slumdog Millionaire type story of our own (Disclaimer: I've never actually seen the movie but it has been on my watch list for years).  When you find that thing that takes all of your life experience and puts it to use, it's a wonderful feeling and it's own reward.  I think if I didn't have that desire you mention, I probably would have sold off my coins very early on.  I remember showing family members a 10 BTC coin one time and telling them I could probably sell it for $15,000 very early on.  I was told I'd better cash it in or I could regret it for the rest of my life.  I imagine many early Bitcoiners have plenty of stories like this and the ability to stick with your gut is the difference between realizing that value or having regrets.  In this case it was easy, because I really appreciated Casascius' innovation and liked that it was something completely new that would open the door for more innovations, which I also attempted to foster with my own creation.

I've always thought that facebook was a site for kids and fraudsters, so I've never used it.

How on earth do you know what your cousin had for lunch?  Huh

This is pure craziness.
8794  Economy / Reputation / Re: OgNasty is a lying piece of kaka on: April 15, 2021, 08:50:07 PM
However, I still can't let him say whatever he wants just because I'm concerned about the amount of additional lies and baseless accusations he's going to make about me, that I then have to point out/prove false/etc... it's all a fucking waste of energy... but that's what his attacks and smears are designed to do.. Wear you down. I do hope most people can see through his crap.

My attacks?  LOL.  Look at the name of this thread.  People aren't stupid...  Your little group of friends has been dropping like flies after stressing themselves literally to death trying to destroy my honest reputation with lies.  How many more users have to disappear from this forum before you guys stop giving yourselves strokes and overdoses trying to further your petty internet drama?  What are you trying to achieve?  Maybe I can help.

Everyone in the market is crazy bullish right now.  It scares me.  Feels like we're being set up for a maximum pain moment.  I've only seen this sort of momentum a couple times before, so I think mid-term we're still looking at a six figure Bitcoin.  $400K might be pushing it a bit.  No way that's sustainable anytime soon.  The recent price stability below $60K took miners accumulating instead of selling to finally break.  I'm starting to see bubble signs...  I'm still hoping for a best case scenario of another 7 months on this bull run though. 
8798  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 15, 2021, 05:04:55 AM
Luka Magic does it again! Another buzzer beater that will be added in his highlight reels with just 1.8 seconds left in the 4th against the Grizzlies.
He had been off in the 3 point line but when needed he could create magic.
A big win for the Mavs to prevent a third losing streak. Their last one was January.

Grayson Allen with his rats eating his confidence. Obviously, he choked. 91 percent in the freethrow line but still missed 2 of it.
He had the chance to ice the game with a 4 point lead but he just cant.

That was an amazing shot. It looked like a layup at first. Luckily they had about 10 different angles to show it from. That kid is special... Nice to see Porzingis putting in a little work out there as well. I’d like to see Dallas make a run for a title at some point while they have Luka.

LMFAO. This guy is Soooo fucked in the head, glad the lies are coming out in full force... Finally!  

After 4 fucking years of bullshit lies/feedback, I remove myself from DT1 and sudenly he removes his bullshit ratings on my profile, as he knows I'm not a "threat" to his precious DT1 status ... Fuckin piece of shit, I have to wonder what kind of "multi-millionaire" even does this for a life, I mean fuckin seriously dude? Go see a fuckin shrink ffs, you are so fucked, go outside and live or something, you fuckin basement dwelling freak of nature ... Roll Eyes

Oh wait.. Let me continue... Fuckin Trump-loving cock sucking loser piece of shit scammer lying sack of shit narcissistic cunt. Grin

Check again. I still have plenty of negative feedback for you. I’m sure that was just an oversight on your part and you didn’t mean to lie.

Who are you quoting when you type, “multi-millionaire” and what is your obsession with my personal finances?

The NastyShanty doesn’t have a basement.

You are still suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Yesterday it was dildos in the ass and today they are being asked to “go f**k themselves” (I couldn’t resist). I’m starting to feel bad for them. This community needs a designated scapegoat that trolls can blame all their problems on so the rest of us can have a break.
