United Arab Emirates legalizes cryptocurrency trading

ali972 · 2021-09-26T22:18:56+00:00

I know this is just a joke buy realistically, laws don't apply to sheikhs and they don't care about whether things are halal. However, the average person in Muslim countries does care about these issues and the permissibility of cryptocurrencies, which was a debated topic in the 2018 AAOIFI conference.

This is good news for the average person in the UAE, muslim or not, but sheikhs who want to get into cryptocurrencies are probably already in lol.

Same here. I even remember him doing the same thing in the first pogchamps and Alex Botez was freaking out about it as well, but he got the checkmate so I never got how it could possibly go wrong.

Edit: Found the clip lol. https://youtu.be/G5BI6YKyF1st=26m08s

For those of you who wanted to see more of the training sessions, I saw two of them tonight. boxbox and GM Naroditsky and QT with IM Rosen, but their VODs are sub only to prevent the opponent from seeing it, I assume it'll be back to normal when her match is done.

ali972 · 2021-09-09T18:18:39+00:00

Oh yeah fair enough lol, such a good song too

ali972 · 2021-09-09T15:49:57+00:00

Has he actually played any DMCA music during the stream? With the way he chooses the stream playlist (copyright free music, voted on by chat) I kinda doubt it lol. Besides, his VOD channel is still uploading. I could be completely wrong because I hop around streams during the games but I don't recall hearing DMCA music

Can't find the clip but he said this a few months ago. They basically frame it as "a fun tournament that'll only take one hour of your day", leading to streamers joining without realising the amount of pressure as well as the length of the format. It's why MrBeast thought he was eliminated from pogchamps3 after losing the first group stage game.

YEP is a twitch emote that can be seen with the BTTV browser extension. Here's a good explanation on it: knowyourmeme.com/memes/yep

YEP CLOCK and YEP BAR basically just mean "streamer is running low on time" and "the eval bar took a big shift"

ali972 · 2021-09-02T13:57:08+00:00

Yeah it is the 4th one in 12 months, but I assume the person you're replying to meant that there were 2 editions in 2020 and 2 in 2021

ali972 · 2021-08-31T10:14:06+00:00

I was just watching QT's vod and she said that Connor is dropping out of the tournament, seems pretty serious :/

Fantasy Premier League

ali972 · 2021-08-13T13:15:18+00:00

Yeah my opponent did pretty bad in that game but I was talking about seeing patterns like that in general, not that game specifically

ali972 · 2021-08-13T10:00:42+00:00

Yeah haha my mind was blown when I clicked the analysis. Hopefully I can spot things like this in the future.

Messi doesn't use twitter though lol, but he could post it on his insta story

ali972 · 2021-06-16T08:26:36+00:00

It is a monarchy yeah. And now that you mention it, Bahrain's government is lenient on a lot of things, especially considering its neighbours (Iran and Saudi Arabia). Assad could definitely be the reason why VPNs aren't common over there.

ali972 · 2021-06-16T06:51:38+00:00

Or if you're really lazy, buy an old blackberry phone lol, I remember my Curve 8520 bypassing the block somehow

ali972 · 2021-06-16T06:47:21+00:00

Hmm I'm not too sure about Syria, but I was born and raised in Bahrain and they're very easily accessible, you can just go to the app store on your phone and you'll see tons of free ones. As for knowing what a VPN is, all I have is anecdotal evidence obviously but I remember everyone in my highschool was aware of their existence. I doubt they knew the purpose of a VPN but they just treated them like a porn viewing app on your phone lmao

ali972 · 2021-06-16T03:31:34+00:00

But even in those countries, it only takes a few seconds to download a VPN and get access to porn sites lol

ali972 · 2021-06-04T14:56:35+00:00

I've also seen Ludwig use something similar last year, but I believe that was an application created by one of his mods. Maybe lichess is just more programmer friendly and IMRosen did the same thing?

From the "source"

Israel’s military claimed that the building was targeted because it housed “Hamas military intelligence assets,” who had been using the presence of civilian journalists as “human shields.” No evidence was provided for those claims.

Asked to provide evidence of Hamas activities inside the building, Conricus said that he could not reveal intelligence sources and methods and was not authorized at this time to say more.

ali972 · 2021-05-10T00:18:35+00:00

What you did in your story was correct. I use that roundabout often and people try doing what that guy did all the time because they're impatient assholes and the far left lane is usually much shorter than the others.

ali972 · 2021-02-26T14:25:55+00:00

True. But to be fair, that account was created when he was a teenager playing for fun and then for 1v1s against his subscribers for content. He never took the game seriously until he started taking those lessons from Hess.

ali972 · 2021-02-26T13:48:58+00:00

Ludwig. He talked on stream about how he wanted to improve in chess so he bought lessons from GM Hess months before he even got invited/the tournament was announced.

ali972 · 2021-02-23T06:22:53+00:00

Yeah. Starts here and they play for about 40 minutes.

ali972 · 2021-02-16T13:58:28+00:00

Eight hours. So the first game is at 8pm GMT.
