The 76ers suck, but I think they can still beat the bottom teams with Maxey, PG, and the sometimes show up Embiid.

Oh, and big night tonight for KAT. First time back at Minny, right? Showed the they shouldn't have traded him with 32-20-6.

Ok, here is my rankings. I tried not to be influenced by your lists by doing this without looking at your lists. But although I don't remember you guys' exact rankings, I saw your lists already, so I'll say I'm probably subconsciously influenced.

There are a lot of big movements, a couple +10's and -8's, several + or - 6's. Looks like biggest winners in my list, compared to last time, are Bucks and Magic, and biggest losers are Warriors and Pacers.

Regarding the Rockets, I have them at 10, same as my last ranking. I think this young Rockets team have a lot of talent, but they need to take better shots. From the few times that I watched them play, I think they seem to like to force questionable shots instead of trying to create better shots. They play great defense though, number 2 defensive team of the league this season says it all. GR, I agree with Undisciplined that you got the Rockets a bit too high at 5. I think 8-10 is where they belong.

You are right. I have to list out my own rankings to do a proper comparison. Just got home and I'll do that now. Will post it and see where we differ and who's rankings mine is actually closer to.

The old Pixar movies were very good. I loved WALL-E. If I had to pick, I think Ratatouille and Up were my favorites.

I saw Ford vs Ferrari and enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was a good movie and the acting is also very good.

Baby Driver is one of my favorite driver / crime movies. If I think my absolute favorite movie about cars is the first Cars movie by Pixar. Lightning McQueen is simply awesome!

Haha, will it be trouble for SN? I can delete it if it causes trouble for SN.

Having breakfast with my wife and then have to drive her around for errands. I'll try to come up with something when I get home. But from a quick eye test, I think my rankings are probably more aligned with yours than Undisciplined's. I wouldn't put the Rockets that high up though.

Nope, just a self proclaimed expert that makes a lot of wrong predictions.

Haha, those guys shit talking to each other are fun to watch.

Even if you have enough inbound liquidity, you probably wouldn't be able to find a route. We're talking over 312.5 million sats. Typical channel sizes are a few to tens of million sats.

Also, I don't even think the protocol allows for lightning payments when solo mining. Coinbase transactions (the block reward tx, nothing to do with the exchange) are always done on chain.

You don't have to worry about lightning payments if you go solo, as 3.125+block fees btc is a big fat UTXO and probably won't be able to be routed over the lightning network. If you ever solo mine a block, I think you can only receive the reward on chain.

Haha imagine being the target of Saqtin the Fool for the rest of the season, or even worse, the rest of your career like Dwight Howard. Sometimes, shame, or not wanting to be shamed, is a very good motivator.

If you don't have lightning payments setup, it will be a long time until you reach the on chain threshold. And even then, you have to deal with a small UTXO, which also sucks. I think if you're pool mining at home with very low hash rates, lightning payout is the only reasonable route.

Each team will have a manager. It will be Shaq, Chuck, Kenny, and Candace Parker. Parker will be the manager of the winning rising stars team. The 3 guys will draft from the all star selections. The managers will be fighting for bragging rights, and I'm sure you've seen how competitive they can get from their races to the TV board.

I think the wildcard to making this work / competitive / entertaining is the "managers". You've seen how they roast last year's all star game, they might just be able to roast or convince the players in their face enough to motivate them into playing harder. I'm not sure if this will work out or not, I just know that the all star game really needed change for many years. Let them try it out and let's see the results.

True gamblers solo mine on Public Pool, go big or go home. I got my Bitaxe back in June, mined with Braiins pool for a few weeks but switched over to solo mining after that. I was getting about 49-50 sats per day during my time with Braiins. Report back on how many sats you get per day with Ocean?

I was receiving mining rewards via lightning by lnurl with Braiins. Also the payment threshold can be set if you don't want do receive payments everyday. I think I set it to 1000 sats.

I just went to Ocean's site and saw that they use BOLT12 offers for their lightning payments. To generate a BOLT12 offer, I think the most straight forward was is to have a lightning node running Core Lightning, as LND still don't support BOLT12.

I didn't find the fan that loud, but then again, I'm keeping my Bitaxe in the basement where we only got for laundry and console gaming.

I think only the first 2 seasons were good. Third season sucked dick.

Made my comment in your gloating post. Congrats on your winning take. What a take!

Got the receipts and everything. Our man was waiting for this moment, haha. Enjoy your win. In hind sight, it was a great take.

Yea, looking from the boxscore, the game was over after the third.

I didn't expect this result. OKC taking and missing all those 3's definitely didn't help. I missed all of the 4th, because I was driving kids home from art class, but the game seemed to be over after the 3rd. Bucks had a really good 3rd quarter and cemented the win from there. I agree if the whole team is missing on 3's on a night, it's a good idea to keep attacking the paint and not settle for empty possessions. Congrats to the Bucks for winning the NBA Cup! That said, I hope they don't hang a banner for it.

Started watching at the start of the second quarter. Yes, good game. Thunder were doing full court press at one point. Suffocating defense.
