You're right that the integration of AI into the gambling industry is still in the early stages, and it's difficult to predict exactly what it will look like in the future. Oh well... we'll have to wait and see how the gambling industry evolves with the integration of AI to understand its full impact and what it will look like in the future because we cannot really guess that much right now,

perhaps the first problem is why someone is complaining about a roulette. I mean, even if it works ethically as intended, it is still a bad idea that is surely going to make you loose, and that is with a proper algo, proper ranomness, etc... It does not take much to rig and it does not either take much more to think that you have been scammed and therefore there is plenty of argument for the wrong reasons.

It is a shame that bonuses are not really considered seriously by the sites, as if they were something optional or just a gesture of good-will. A bonus is an agreement for someone influencing their friends or other people and promoting you image. That is not free and it takes time so if the site then scams or re-thinks is reason enough to provide public feedback and negative trust.

I am so surprised that actually anyone is surprised that there's cocaine in the White House - even the name is calling for it. Now serious, politicians in general are notorious consumers of drugs, and it is not only in the US, it is all over the world. Many times, during negotiations, they have to keep working and speaking and plotting for hours and many times these are "won" by mere exhaustion of the opponent, it is just a question of incentives that they will use "enhancers".

So now hunger in Africa is created by "your ways", Africans have nothing to do with it? The fact that many countries in Africa wage war after war and those who do not are under kleptocratic rules is all due to "your ways".

Look, it is time that African countries take responsibility for their own destiny and their situations. If you cannot feed a family of three, why do you keep going until they are seven and then have to live on subsidies from "the evil capitalists". Why people cannot look beyond the "tribes" and try to build countries where they can progress instead of killing each other?

But anyway, if Russia blocks the grain deal and no matter who you choose to blame (Russia cannot do wrong for you, I know, it is all somebody else's fault) the end result will be a famine, mostly in Africa, but not only in Africa. Again, a great diplomatic win.

Nah, this is supply and demand, if there is plenty of grain available the market price is low. If it is rotting in an Ukrainian granary or in the fields, prices will go up. The first one feeling the impact are the ones who can afford to pay less. So, I agree, countries that need that grain are not stupid and right now it is Putin's "government" making the choice - I can see here yet another "diplomatic success" coming.


I assume that supporting the countries that need that grain does not count as an "advantage" to the RF? No wonder you have to keep the federation together by force - the RF do not seem to understand the basics of human relations other than "do as I tell you or I kill you".

does not qualify at all as war crime. The use of cluster munitions in civil populated areas is, due to the extreme chance of collateral damage.  Europe do not like them because they are basically a defective product that fails between 5 and 20% and then stay in there for very long.

To give any credit to those claims of previous useI would need some sources as just saying so does not make it so.

On the "desperation" interpretation... I think if they really worked as intended is perfect for clearing trenches, so it is just the right weapon for the taks.

They have not coped with anything, they are too busy dying from malnutrition, hunger, lack of basic medical care and all those things that (for now) you do not see in Essex, Sussex and al other x's. The populations most affected are the old and the very very young. People do not get old enough to die of Corona in Papua and in many other places, but what do you know about any of this living in your eco-chamber of Brexiters and decadent Victorian houses.

You have really outdone yourself with this crap.


They do not have any "natural immunity" they just die before Corona is even a problem for them.

World, we have a problem. It seems that Putin's regime is not willing to continue the grain & agricultural exports deal through Odessa. What does this mean for you:

- If you live in Africa, you are unlikely to be able to afford grains this year. Time for cat hunting.
- If you live in Poland, good news:  you now hold the key for passage of 25% of the grain food in the world (or so).
- If you are Putin, you are likely to get some calls from your developing countries' "friends" all over the world begging you not to be an asshole.

Perhaps once you get into killing, it does not matter if you are killing beyond your means.

My view is that while males are in general stronger than female, not all males are necessarily stronger than females so an opportunity to interview and, if strength is required for the role, to test and compare should have been given. I do believe there should be fair processes that guarantee equal opportunity regardless of gender. Just be aware than on certain roles, that equal opportunity means that a stronger candidate may be the chosen one (e.g. if they have to move heavy patients from their beds).

You are comparing two countries that cannot be compared:

a) Papua does not have the level of accurate recording of cases and deaths of Australia or any other modern country. So you are throwing rubbish into the process and will get rubbish out of it.

b) Papua lack of effective generalised medicine mean that people die younger, thus the population that is most affected by the virus is already dead.

A usual, you are trying to use information that you are not qualified to interpret (even things that are common knowledge for the average person to be honest) thus systematically getting it wrong. Are you even able to draw any conclusion from the graphs below???

You two can, I disagree

Ukraine is pushing into occupied territories and freeing parts of Belgorod but it is not happening slowly if you judge this with the same criteria used for the RF army to assess their lighting invasion of Bakhmut.

On a more serious interpretation: we talk more often about what we can see and measure easily, thus we tend to look at the map and say: progress is 10 km2 today. But what we do not see is the grinding, the morale, the inability to maintain logistics... There is a lot more than it meets the eye in battlefront and a whole iceberg sitting underwater in terms of logistics, sabotage, lack of technological components, difficulties in levying more troops...

As said, the front does not collapse... until it does.

Complaining about the young is a common theme all over history -  there are references to the Ancient Greek philosophers complaining about this same topic. But doing so in the context of violence and gambling is actually a self-critic. The young mostly learn of what they see and are part of a model of society that we have created. This is not their fault (not completely for sure), since we (I am old enough) are the ones setting the path and context.

My first answer would be no, it should not be even close to six months, however the devil is in the details. If they need to gather information from banks, agencies, credit ratings and other that would likely increase the time and effort of obtaining an answer to the point of lasting months in some cases. But I think that in this case is simply the site not allocating enought resources, because it is not their priority.

Yet you would need to explain how actually great players do make it consistently to top positions in the tournament rankings. And we are talking thousands of people involved in poker gaming and just a few that really make their (very good living) out of these. So yes, gambling is a way of income for many but you would need to choose a game that is not merely based on chance.

He may be serious or just considering the possible options. There is a lot to think if you really want to be successful, an attempt based just on an impulse the momentum is likely to fade away at the first difficulty. When trying you first need to be absolutely convinced that there are not other options like reducing, getting someone to help you control the gambling, etc... There is always a chance that may be better.

Staying updated is not to difficult if you really like the topics and is not just about getting information for betting or for business purposes, so if you actually enjoy what you are doing being informed will come out naturally without any effort from you. Looking for alternative sources and checking the social networks aalong with your favourite content curators is just the everyday in that case.

Oh, a "constructive" conversation. You can have a look at Andrew Perpetua maps, tend to be accurate and any pro-RF mapper of your choice. You will see some discrepancies, but one thing is clear: Ukraine is able to advance.

On the F-16, nothing will be all-right, it will only be better. It is a decent plane (particularly the modernised versions) and carries a ton of payload. You could potentially have Air to Ground, HARM, Air to Air, GBUs and a long range missile all loaded in a mission. The radar is also decent. The caveat is that the Su35 seems to have some detection advantage... depending on who would you like to believe of course.

But... and here comes the fun, the f16 can carry and shoot with a high likelihood of success long range Air to Air (really nasty and quick beasts). So... sorry for those Su35 that get with 100 miles of the front.


But let's talk strategy and not tactics: My guess is that passing f16s to Ukraine is a carefully calculated move by the US. As one of my favourite bloggers said, "this is like a competition in which each side keeps throwing 100 dollar bills to a fire and the side that keeps for longer gains an advantage". If Ukraine has f16s on the air, the RF needs to keep Su35s / Mig 31s in the air. You would not believe how ridiculously low flight hours fighter jets can do before going to a massive refurb or directly to the scrapyard, how costly is to keep them running and how they stretch the logistics.

This is a weapon that can potentially "demilitarise" the RF "Aerospatial" forces.

I hope this provides some insight on why f16s and why from the US, instead of other options.

There are recent news of a re-cycling of Israeli Merkava MBTs.  This is fat and ugly main battletank developed by Israel in several versions since late 70's to the latest version (uglier, fatter and more frightening) versions as recently as 2023.

According to some sources up to 200 of these tanks are going to be bought by an "undisclosed European buyer". Now, this tanks is not ideal for Ukraine because is the heaviest out there, so I am thinking if some other country could exchange these for their old soviet era stuff and pass these to Ukraine, or maybe Ukraine would rather have 200 Merkava III for themselves, which are readily available.

I would not like to be the undersupplied Rusky soldier finding out in the battlefield.



Edited --- Apparently one of the two countries buying is Cyprus. Cyprus has a number of T-80s that may find way to Ukraine.

There is sufficient advance and the tactical situation has been much improved in several locations along the front. If you prefer going for "there is no progress" to "the progress is not sufficient" to then "the progress is not tactically important" in three posts... well that speaks for itself.

Ukraine is doing a very difficult thing: using combined weapons approach without the right combined weapons.  They are in obvious need of better air detection, drone protections and certainly a squadron of f16 (Gripen does not seem to be coming).

The strategy is nothing special... hit logistics at the back, create the widest front possible, push in several directions, look for the "easiest" way of advancing and keep the pressure so that the RF is not able to move troops freely from one front section to another. In my view, Ukraine would need better air capabilities, better drone defence and of these, it may get some jets and some enhanced strike capability if ATACAMS are supplied.

Other than that, fronts do not collapse... until they do. This way of fighting resembles much more a Phalanx / Hoplites battle than anything else. Both sides have good defence and push each other... until one side leaves a hole or is attacked on the flanks, the line spreads and gets thinner... 20 minutes later you got 5000 guys running back to Moscow Thebes.

Same old... spread the front, rotate, damage logistics and in one of the rounds it just may happen that you hit that undersupplied, demoralised and thinned brigade that decides that is not worth dying for Putin.
