They emailed me saying they need to take an extra level of due diligence surrounding my account and requested that I provide sources of funding to support my level of gambling. I sent in what they asked but they are not allowing me to gamble anymore, sad sad times.Go big or go homeless.

adjusting punters max bet so although it wont curb it for most, at least some type of ceiling is placed.
I suspect firms have little interest in the UK & Ireland market at present anyway.
Deregulation well under way in the US so it wont be long before Flutter Entertainment and others have their focus firmly directed there as NBA and alike are onboard with it.
Many envisage the next salary cap spikes will coincide with the deregulation.

You're trying to stick the needle in when I have absolutely no problem admitting I'm a degenerate gambler, but get your facts right when you're trying to be a knowitall.Go big or go homeless.

Only the unsweetened ones, sugary ones are muck. Mother drinks oat milk now, few years ago she wouldn't even try non-dairy milk. So a big move especially us from a dairy farming background.
Can buy califia farms in dunnes or try in Clement and Pekoe. Also their espresso and mocha almond drinks are class.

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostWhat salary cap spikes is that?
Increased revenue caused the cap to increase substantially after 2015-16 season from 70m past the 89m projection to 94m for 2016-17. Based on those numbers alot of teams "overpaid" players based on that salary cap of that year envisaging that the cap would continue to rise as NBA franchises value & NBA revenue grew.
However that has slowed down far more than expected to 101m this season to a projected 109m next year and approx 116m in 2020-21.
The reports I've read so far is that they suspect the 0.25% the NBA has demanded from gaming revenue will cause the next substantial jump. They expect revenue of between 6.5b-9b early doors.

Originally posted by Elshambles View PostAaah but almond milk is killing the planet, takes way too much water to produce
Next up i can talk about the different types of water used, green etc
Livestock accounts for 27% of global freshwater consumption, almonds like a fraction of a percent.
SCIENCE BITCHES
but yeah the other ones are better than almond, plus I should compare milk to almond milk to be fair:

He was deadly serious about it and couldn’t get his head round the fact that it wasn’t the design of the penis not working for lesbians that was the problem but the men attached to them.
Was one of the weirdest logic gaps I have come across.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed make major financial decisions.
We just took the house down for the moment given we then had some competition in the area but they're all sold now so it'll be back up within the next 12 months.
Houses are a painfully long process, the new house was a far easier process but still not without its headaches.
Hopefully you can salvage it.

The overbidder was based abroad and couldn't demonstrate their finances in full. Whereas this wan is Irish with rock solid finances. And was, we were led to believe, eager to close.

Don't really eat dairy either so it would vegan-ish by default
*Prefer the term "plant based whole food" as it excludes the heavily processed, sugar filled, expensive stuff with vegan on the label
Problem is I don't eat wheat or soy(fucking poison unless organic and even then taste shit)
So wipes a lot out, seitan the new vegan meat substitute for hotdogs etc is made of wheat gluten ffs so when you get a vegan hotdog you basically eating a ketchup and onion sandwich
I might starve just thru lack of options
