Wow, I just went to look after reading this.  That's a big blow, sorry wheelz, congrats nutildah.


I had the Pac to cover +3.5, but it was part of a list of props including Rodgers to throw for over 220 yards, so I lost too.  But it was a moral victory.

Yeah, it could have easily gone either way, that's what made it a fun game to watch.  If the Cardinals would have scored, they would have given Arron Rodgers at least 11 seconds.  That's plenty of time for an 80 yard hail mary touchdown pass to Aaron Jones. 

Really, this is the first time a French rider takes the championship?  Wow, that is a big deal.  Congrats to Fabio, he deserves it.  He's had a great season, and was obviously the better rider most of the season.  I say most because of the Repsol gorilla in the room.  Two races in a row Marquez takes a 4+ second lead and and the top spot on the podium.  It's looking like Marc is back to 100% of his former self.  If he can stay healthy the 2022 season is going to be his to lose.

Ducati is still leading the manufacturer's competition, but they're only 12 points ahead of Yamaha.  There's still a chance for Yamaha to take the lead, and secure both the rider and manufacturer's championship.  Should be a fun couple of races to finish out the season.

This is a really cool promo!  Thanks for putting this together, Steve.  It's super cool of you to invite your competition to participate as well.  Just goes to show how much class you and the Sportsbet.io team possess.  

The free bet makes this a no-brainer, but I really hope to win the "Beers with Steve" prize.  A trip to England to watch a live match would be a dream come true.  Best of luck to all.

Lol.  I never doubted the Packers, I knew they would win it.  The Cardinals are a good team; young and tough, lots of talent.  But this kind of thing happens almost every year; a young team goes on a hot streak that ends in a prime-time slot against a beat-up team of veterans.  Everybody was on the Cardinals' bandwagon, making such a big deal out of their 7-0 start, then pressure starts to mount.  I still think they'll make it to the playoffs, but I wouldn't count on them reaching the super bowl.


It would have been better if they didn't overturn that touchdown at the goal line.  That surprised me, it looked like the ball crossed the plane before his ass hit the ground.  If nothing else it seemed like it was too close to reverse.  Maybe the officials have multiple, synchronized views that made it clear and obvious that he went down first.  That's the only thing I can think of that would have given them the evidence to overturn it.  Regardless, 17 FF points is no joke and obviously I need all the help I can get.

This is a big match for the two of us.  Being a divisional match it has significant playoff implications.  I currently have the tie-breaker since I won our first match.  I'm scared.

01) Who will receive the ball first?  Cardinals
02) Will the Cardinals cover the -6 point spread?  No
03) Game total 51?  Over

10) DeAndre Hopkins to score a TD?  Yes

Final Score prediction: Arizona 31, Green Bay 34

Now, now, don't be so glum.  You're our favorite punching bag.   

J/K, congratulations on your first win, against the top dogs, no less.  Fitting end to the first round. 

I have to ask, does our record during the regular season even matter?  Don't we all get into the first round of the playoffs?

Are you guys watching the Manning's broadcast?  Tom Brady is their current guest, and he just said he had to promise a bitcoin to the fan to whom Mike Evans had given his 600th TD ball.  He also said something about the ball being auctioned off as a NFT currently. 

I like it.  Not that it matters, it's getting obvious the Niners aren't contenders this year.  They might be contenders for draft position... Oh wait! 

Wheelz and I both have Seahawks receivers, and he needs his to be far more productive than mine.  Should be interesting to watch.


That was a crazy storm, maybe the wettest storm we've had in over 20 years.  My power went out at 8am so I missed out on an EPL match I wanted to watch, and the afternoon games.  Luckily I had my laptop charged up, and figured (with my phone as a hotspot) I had just enough juice to watch SNF.  I wish I hadn't.  The power actually came back on around the end of the first quarter.

Good job, I hope you had fun.  You're on the right path, and you'll pick up tricks that work for you as you go along.  WSL is a great way for Windows users to immerse themselves in Linux.

I prefer to run my node on dedicated hardware which I can leave running full time.  All my services are started on boot by systemd, so I just need to make sure the machine is powered on.  Unlike Linux on a physical or virtual machine, WSL doesn't have a system startup daemon like systemd.  It shouldn't be confused with a virtual machine, it's a virtual environment.

It's bugging me that you are unable to install Ubuntu.  I noticed that you used the Control Panel gui app to enable WSL, did also enable virtualization?  I've always installed WSL manually, you can find the installation instructions here (don't forget to start powershell as administrator):  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual

Also, you can use powershell to interact with your WSL instances and, run them with alternate options.  For starters:

01) Who will receive the ball first?  Browns
02) Will the Browns cover the -3.5 point spread?  No
03) Game total 42.5?  Under
04) Highest scoring Quarter?  2nd
05) Browns total points?  Even
06) Broncos total points?  Odd
07) Baker Mayfield to throw for 245 yards?  Under
08) Teddy Bridgewater to throw for 250 yards?  Under
09) Odell Beckham to score a TD?  Yes
10) Courtland Sutton to score a TD?  Yes

Final Score prediction: Denver 17; Cleveland 20

Don't you guys mean D'Ernest Johnson?  Wait a minute... Did both of you guys just misspell an athletes name?   

I hope the alt police don't notice!

The waivers got away from me this week, I was thinking of swapping Chris Evans for a receiver.  Too late now.

Come on, man.  Are you trying to tell me that pouring on the hurt doesn't make you happy?  


He was an absolute stud last night.  Tannehill's only job is to throw just often enough to sell the play action run.

I was on the edge of my seat watching the game and the FF scores, both were exciting, lol.  At 4th and 1, with so little time on the clock, I was certain they were going to go for the tie.  From a football perspective, that would have been the smart thing to do.  When I saw the offense lining up, I just knew they (and I) were going to lose.

It was a pretty good game, all in all.  I was surprised to see the Bills defense give up so many big runs.  I'm sure nutildah wasn't complaining though.  

It's not quite so cut and dry in my opinion. True, theymos allowed yobit's return from the advertising ban placed upon them, so if someone should be reprimanded it's him.  But what's that going to get you?  I don't know that I would have handled the situation any differently, but maybe a permanent the first time around?  Fool me once...  I like that theymos isn't heavy handed, it's one of the things that makes this forum unique.

As for Yahoo's culpability, he volunteered to manage the sig-spammers wearing the yobit signatures who registered on yobit's own site.  He wasn't tasked with "managing" the campaign in the traditional sense.  If he hadn't done what he did there would have been far more spam on the forum.  He brought the question to forum and many, myself included thought that it was a great idea.  If Yahoo is to be tagged for his involvement, then I should be too for encouraging him, and so should anyone who did so.

Lets not forget what actually transpired during that time.  Don't let these shit-stirring, sig-spamming, scam-promoters change the narrative.  

I see from your other thread that you are having trouble opening your wallet files.  I suggest you stick with one topic, it'll keep all the progress in one place, and suggestions pertinent.

I've never had any exposure to Parrot OS, but it's a Debian release so you should be able to run Electrum.  Did you try installing Electrum from the command line, or did you download the app image?

Account sales aren't banned by the forum, and DT members who flag account sellers do so to prevent abuse.  Assuming that (hypothetically speaking) Royse's account did change hands and somehow slipped by the notice of DT members at the time, should DT member tag Royse's account now?  All of Royse777's positive feed back (including untrusted) is after the dates of the posting gap.  Has he been abusive since that time?  Has a shown a tendency to be untrustworthy?  Or has he demonstrated the exact opposite?

Given the lack of significant evidence or motive, there's no justification for tagging him.  And given his trustworthy behavior since the suspected breach, I don't think any one cares.  I certainly don't.  Who ever is currently behind the Royse777 account IS Royse777 as far as I'm concerned.

I'd rather see Baker's Progressive book group sacking the State Farm dual-threat while Jake streaks the field and Flo tackles him for a loss.  A big loss.

I like Linux too, Ubuntu to be specific, which I have running on all my servers.  I have Ubuntu Desktop installed on one of my laptops, and use it regularly.  My bitcoin node is running Ubuntu server, which seems far more practical for me than running a node server on Windows.  It's really hard to beat the practicality of Linux for a machine that's dedicated to a specific process.


Yeah, that's my main hardware wallet; both Trezor One and the Model T worked fine, but I only tried them with Electrum.  I haven't installed the Trezor Suite yet, I might give it a shot this weekend.


My machines didn't flag me for the upgrade either.  There's a tool you can download that will check for compatibility, it's available here.  The Windows 11 site recommends that you wait until Windows Update selects you for the upgrade, but I'm impatient.  If you want to force it you can update your system or download the ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11

Hey now, I resemble that remark.  I was a bit harsh, please don't take it personally.  If we can't be harsh to newbies on the internet, then half the fun of social media just evaporates.

Now for the real advice;  Don't pay any attention to your rank, it'll come naturally if you participate in the forum and don't think of it as a cash cow.  Read a lot, respond respectfully, ask questions, don't be a douchebag, and you'll grow with the community.

Dude, really?  What the fuck is up your ass today?  I prefer a different OS than you, that's no reason to be such a fucking dick and insult my intelligence.  If you can't handle having a rational discussion about Windows without insulting those who choose to use it, it might be healthier for you to avoid these topics.

The upgrade is free with a current Windows license, but the version you get depends on that license.  If you have a Widows 7 or Windows 10 Home license you'll get the Home version of Windows 11.  I used my Win7 Ultimate license, so I got the Pro version with the upgrade.


Agreed.  We'll see what, if any variabilities arise from that.  The way Windows shell handles the Linux file system is more like a shared network drive, so I assume that privileges are handled in a similar way.

Lol.  I do require Windows for my work, but even if I didn't I would use it anyway.  I'll have to contact the makers of all those IQ tests that lied to me, and inform them that dkbit98 insists they were wrong.



Meh, every OS has issues at first.  Every OS has it's issues, period.  Haters gonna hate.
