You invested at the wrong time 2022, is still the bear market year til 2023. And you invest in altcoins that have already pumped high which it could just be waiting for investors to jump in and then it's all dumped in you.
But you are not the only one who made this mistake. Many of us have done this before thinking the bear market will not really last for years. Along the way, you also learned the crypto market has cycles and the Halving is your cue.

Ubuntu has the best repositories where it's almost guaranteed the sotfwares are the most recent. However, Ubuntu requires hardware requirements that your old laptop might not have especially the latest LTS.
The best alternative for it is the Mint. It's lightweight and they are also using Ubuntu's repositories. There are certainly lighter Distros than Mint but you may find them not user-friendly because you will be using the CLI for installing some software because they don't have the Synaptic Manager.

Yes, it will depend on each gambler. Some feel that if they have a record, it will keep them awake enough to stay away from gambling addiction. Some people want to know how much money they use for gambling. It all depends on a person's need to keep notes or just spend the same amount of money from time to time without calculating the total amount. And not having a record doesn't mean he's a bad gambler because maybe that was his decision, and according to him, it was a good move. And perhaps some will consider having a record of their gambling activities important.
That's right, maybe some of their gambling records are important to know the expenses so that they can limit if there are excesses that we don't think about, maybe some of the records are to see how gambling activities have been, whether they are just curious or really want to record just as a reference. Makes sense. Myself, I don't think it is necessary because with the limit of money that has been set, it is more than enough so there is no need to look at the records again, it's just that some of them are just curious about the whole gambling. Actually there is nothing worse as long as we manage finances well for gambling. It could be useful if the gambler had planned to track down his losses and winnings. It's easy to see whether from the time he had been gambling he profited or lost and then concluded from the record if its worth pushing through this kind of activity anymore. As for me who had not tracked this since the beginning, I guess I just have to keep doing it until I can make a big win. I feel like I'm losing more though. The only consolation is that I enjoyed the whole process. |

I am in favor of Khamzat Chimaev in this fight for me the prime of Kamaru Usman is certainly depleted and judging from his fight against Leon Edwards for sure Chimaev can destroy Edwards in a fight and for sure Chimaev can also destroy Usman for sure
Actually I'm not sure about "destroying". Chimaev is indeed my favorite fighter for this fight but actually I don't see the mentality of a champion in him. I can say that Chimaev is an immature fighter. His last match against Burns showed when Chimaev didn't listen to his coach's advice. And if this was still the same Chimaev then the outcome of the fight would have been different. It's just that I still place my bet on Chimaev. Regardless of Chimaev's behavior, he can defeat just about anyone in the division including Usman. At short notice though you really gonna give respect to Usman for taking this fight. He does have more than 50% chance of winning the fight, I couldn't however bet for him since Chimaev can handle a fight. The only challenging fight we have seen so far from him was with Burns. Next week is really a big event for UFC fans from Main to Prelim, they are worth watching. I'd invite few friends to bet with me at home. |

WHO DO YOU TRUST WITH YOUR BANK ATM PIN? if you have a person that you fully trust with your ATM pin, can you also trust that same person with your seed phrase?
It is very difficult to build trust in someone especially when you have seen so much in your life. Trusting with an ATM pin to someone is one thing, while trusting with a seed phrase is another thing, and everyone has a different opinion regarding, who to trust. My wife and best friend know about my ATM PINs and bank account details, and I can trust them with my life. They do know about my crypto holdings, where my seed phrases are stored, and how to decode them. It's really hard to trust someone these days especially if you know their background. Once you learn they did stupid things before, you may really have to think twice before even entrusting some funds. If you have a kid it makes sense that you trust your wife since she will also take care of your kid once you suddenly just drop dead. She can at least get funds for them to live. But in the current time when banks themselves are insolvent, I would run away from banks and just use BTC which I could also give the seed to my wife. |

How much was the money he won that it seemed like the agent found worth running?
If it's worth more than $1M then the agent does have plans to disappear for good and live somewhere in Belize. Such a case where a lucky day turned into a nightmare.
I would probably let is slide if it happened to me if this is just a random case but if it happens twice or multiple times already I would already suspect the whole gambling house is ruled by a mob that targets a nobody who has no one else to turn to.

Scam accusation is already a subforum and it will add 4 more child forums. Somehow it's neat and easier to navigate and find scam accusations on one page but over time, they piled up til sent to 2nd to a hundred more pages also. If a user wanted to look for a particular scam accusation, they could also use the search box. The 2024, kids seem to be aware of to use of Google and search boxes already.

To be honest, I play sports betting more often than casino games like dice or slots. Even in sports betting most people place bets on the results of analysis or maybe because they are fans. Still, I think that betting technique or skill is secondary. The first is still luck which will determine victory when we bet.
I don't really understand card games, they definitely require skill. but when the cards are dealt it is also part of the gambler's luck to get good or bad cards.
The most of the gambler play the sports bet,but they shouldn’t forgot the old games.Even though I will not quit my dice games,which is the most favourite one along with the Soccer.The sports bet was the most like game around the world,because every one of us had the capacity to gain more knowledge of the soccer.But the dice itself not recited instantly.Even we predict the sports betting using the players experience and the game may change at any point.The performance of the player may change based on their health condition. Not a fan of soccer but I always bet on such matches because when one team gets the first score, it's often the winner already. It's hard to score in soccer in my opinion even when it's what I did, I still lost money from this game. Never did I win that accumulated a large sum, I always ended up losing it all unlike in some other sports like boxing. Whichever casino a gambler wins their best in sports, I think they stick to this casino to restage their win. |

You have to consider you get what you paid for. If you are an addict and you hope to find ways to get out of your condition, you would best pay a premium where you will be pampered inside a facility rather than going back to gambling all because you didn't like the therapy. You wouldn't want to think of gambling when you are comfortably satisfied sitting in a jacuzzi and puffing a Cuban cigar. The most effective low cost I think is to just join a gambling addiction group meeting and make new gambler friends. Who knows what could happen?  |

This is a head shaking decision from uncle Dana after he promised that the winner of Belal vs. Burns would challenge Leon Edward. However, I speculate that American politics might have influenced this decision. Uncle Dana is an outspoken Trump supporter and Colby also is another ourspoken Trump supporter. The presidential election will be on November heheehe. Perfect for the UFC's campaign for Trump if Colby is the welterweight champion hehehehe.
Did he really promise that? Say what you want about White, but I think he has a good record of sticking to his word. I don't think similar political sympathies would play a major factor here. Covington is ranked higher than Belal and has way higher PPV potential so it definitely makes more sense, and I'm sure Edwards wouldn't mind that either, as it means a bigger payout. Plus, they're fighting in Dec 2023 and the next US election is indeed in Nov, but 2024 It was said Conor waited 6 months for USADA's go signal but no result. So Dana went ahead to decided to cut ties with USADA since it's making his business unprofitable. He'd been eager to put Conor in the cage for a while. Now he wants to pay a private entity to do the Athlete testing. Cancel culture is very common among Trump supporters these days, maybe it's true. Conor though is not yet scheduled to fight, but he does want this Dec. Volk is now the highest-paid fighter in UFC after his short notice against Islam. It must be encouraging now to just say Yes if you are one of the backup fighters. |

Not watching these kinds of fights anymore. Though I would watch it on replay if Paul loses in a brutal KO. I saw some YouTube updates about them just a few days ago and Dillon seems to be nailing Paul. Between the two, I think Dillon might win.
After following several fights between the Paul brothers and some other YouTubers, its sickening. Yep they could market a fight that's their best skill.

Since they are likely going to accept Shitcoin, that would be better than sending your BTC to them. If I were to buy one, I would probably do it in the bull run peak that even the shitcoin will have a big value enough to buy one.
So far it's only Ferrari announcing something like this, no other car producer yet. It's Ferrari sees there will be more BTC millionaires soon and they are likely buyers in the future. Cars like Ferraris are meant to be showcased only on some occasions.

I have never been a person who has won big sums of money and I have never taken such a risk in my life. Because I saw it as unnecessary and frankly I did not see it as a risk that could be taken. I once made a coupon with the highest odds I have ever hit with a coupon and I will never forget the odds of that coupon. It was for about 3 dollars and I honestly didn't have much hope. I gave it a shot and I got 2300 dollars and that was the pinnacle of my gambling career. After that, even though I took a break, I still play for pleasure from time to time.
You get 2300 for betting $3 is a super lucky bet. You get lucky even if you don't often bet so you can really expect it won't happen in every 10 years. If you win again like going to a nearby shop and finding scratch tickets beside the cashier, you try for once and you still win big. There really is a big chance you have a fairy godmother following you all the time. My experience could be called luck but not a huge win. I think I got $130 for betting $10. This is the biggest by far, it did happen again but smaller win and this is in sports betting. I think maybe 2 or 3 times a year. |

I only know local horse though, and I would say that I was brought up by my father as this is one of the favorite sports he loves to bet when he was still alive and I still remember when I was a little boy him winning what we call Winner Take All (WTA).
I become addicted as well, like the in the early 2000 to like 2010.
However, when our government started to crack down illegal horse betting, then me and my friends started to slow down and suddenly we just stop. So I haven't bet for a while while although I will still some in my facebook friends on how it is going. Specially around Christmas time, there are a lot of special races to bet.
But I'm not sure if others as well are into horse racing here, and I could speculate that maybe a few might want to bet on it.
Not much. Today we can only see horse racing on TV. This is the age of cars already, not many horses but this seems to be a rich man's vice. Today only the rich men do have eyes for which horse might win or not. There was never a horse in my town. I couldn't remember if there ever was a local racehorse event in our city. There is a ranch nearby but their horses are just staying inside their ranch and it's used to chase the cattle. What every city has today are illegal drag race. |

I do not really have a problem gambling from work because I have everything well planned out. It does not interfere with my job in any way whatsoever... I spend less than 30 minutes predicting and placing my bets. Although this is possible because of the nature of my job that requires I am on my computer with internet access always.
Gambling to me is just a sides hustle to compliment what I do. I don't plan with gambling money neither am I desperate to win. So to me it is fine gambling from work.
But you have to remember that even though you can plan it well, you can experience changes to your plan because we are only humans who can experience mood changes. It can cause us to deviate from the plans we have made. But hopefully, you will stick to your plan so that you don't experience any problems if you continue to gamble while you work. And I hope that when gambling, you only use the money you can afford and still control yourself because you are gambling at work, where someone may find out. If the work doesn't need the supervision of his boss, that's fine. Even if he is playing Dota in his cubicle, it will just be fine as long he can submit results in time. But maybe to some bosses it will be a problem especially if the rest of the employees also play more. This is using the company's resources for your benefit. But whatever is prohibited is always the most desirable. So even if the bosses doesn't want employees to play/gamble while working I'm sure we do it whenever there is a chance as long as we can use our phones. |

This fight is to prove that he has a chance to fight Naoya Inoue judging that Yukinori Oguni did a great thing inside the ring we can not say for sure that Yukinori Oguni is still slow a fighter and for me, I didn't see the real John Riel Casimero inside the ring because the pace of his opponent was slow Casimero's movement was also slowed I really don't know what happen but I really didn't see the old Casimero for sure he underestimated his opponent,
Though Casimero did land several blows to Oguni, it wasn't enough. Oguni just absorbed those punches and then Casimero spent all his might in the 1st round which I do believe he gassed out which seems to be obvious in the 2nd round. Somehow he hugged Oguni countless times. It can't be enough to defeat Inoue. If it were Inoue he was fighting today, he would be knocked out. With the result of this fight, Casimero's chance to fight Inoue is not possible anymore. He was once a champ but he is now in decline. |

This week is full of UFC shocking news. Now, from 2024, UFC and USADA are not going to cooperate anymore. Strange that not UFC made this announcement, but it came from USADA first, as they decided to stop cooperstion. Dana said that is like backstabbing to do such thing. Now UFC got few months to find someone who will replace USADA, or I dont know, pause events, let fighters fight unchecked for some time.
Strange things are happening in UFC. Dana seems desperate to want Conor to rejoin again and cut USDA probably for this purpose. The matchmaker Joe Reeves Dana newly hired for the contender series must be the one who is also responsible for the messup of scheduled fights. We end up having Topuria vs Holloway giving Max a title shot again and then there is Usman vs Chimaev at 185lb, Chimaev isn't even a regular MW. |

I find it hard to see how you are gambling while at work, unless you work online and you are also gambling online to which you are using your phone or your office computer. Your boss will even kick you out of playing solitaire in your office all the more when you are playing on casinos.
You really mixed it all up when you are doing these together. It should be funny to see yourself playing poker while your boss suddenly arrives and checks your monitor. Seem like a scene from a comedy movie.

Which is more entertaining? playing games listening to music or without music just sound of the games like roulette ball bouncing on the metal wheel or playing games in silence?
While listening to music its hard to control our emotions while losing and we are not able to concentrate on game. it is highly likely that we blow our account by betting high.
but it is more entertaining while listening to music on low volume and playing games.
Music could serve as a motivation or a distraction depending on my mood during or after gambling. Soft or slow music like blues or rhythm and blues will be preferred while playing because it aids concentration. In some cases, I wouldn't want any noise or sound maybe because I am a bit anxious and need to be more focused. But we can play louder songs like Afrobeat or hardcore rap songs when the game is favorable or I won the bet. Countryside music will be better if the game turns unfavorable. This genre of music gives me hope and motivates me to do better another time. But there are times when it will be better to go straight to bed after a loss. But could you say the music helps you win more? Each person has preferences though, one man may like a piece of background music while the other just wants silence. As OP had described it, he couldn't concentrate on the game while the music was on. I feel the same especially when you concentrate more on the music, instead of adding another noise. I'm more into listen to news while playing. I keep my youtube turn on for the news channel that I have subscribed. |

I saw lots of haymaker punches from Casimero like he was trying to get a lucky punch that would end the fight, that's not how boxing works, he also lacks the basics. I think he is too impatient about winning and climbing the ranks to get his shot against Inoue but he doesn't notice that by doing this he is just making the gap longer.
After watching him against the Japanese Oguni I didn't see good boxing and I bet many Filipino boxing fans would feel the same. He is forcing a knockout but he ain't that young Casimero anymore. He should think about taking it slow and using his experience as his main weapon instead of fighting like a 25 year old boxer with lots of stamina reserved, he ain't that guy anymore.
In round 2, I saw him resting and breathing heavily from his mouth, which is why I have round 2 to Oguni because he took advantage of that and let his punches fly all over Casimero.
That's because Casimero is too excited to knock out Oguni in the fastest possible way underestimating Oguni's stamina and power but unfortunately, it backfires he is the one losing steam and getting hit a lot, and he may hit Oguni with his own punches but he is able to stand those punches. While watching the fight I was wondering where Casimero's power went, those were the punches that hurt and knockout all his past opponents now it seems he cannot carry his power in the upper weight division if he cannot carry his power then he is just an ordinary fighter and Fulton can easily knock him out before he can go to Inoue. I think he gassed out already in the 2nd round but he tried to steal the 2nd round before the ringbell. It's in the 3rd that I see more haymakers. If one of those landed right, it could make him win. It's a wonder why it was a draw though. Obviously, Casimero landed more shots while Oguni did more at the back of Casimero's head. This is the advantage of having the fight in your home country, the favor will always be with their dog. Its a rob. |
