No new fires in our area due to fireworks, so that's good.
Driest I have ever seen and I have lived here since 78.
This coming after the driest winter in history for the area.
Come on Monsoons.

Glad you got some rain.

The way the thunder & lightning was rolling it will be a miracle if a fire didn't get started !

I've been watching different Rodeos here in the US as well as in Canada both Canadian rodeos had muddy conditions , as did Cody Wyoming .
I spoke a bit ago with a friend near Riverton and it's awful dry there , there isn't any rhyme or reason to the weather !

I believe crypto has and will continue to make its place. It can be debated what that will evolve into. I think its best use case will be for the coming agentification with humans being minor participants.

I love the story about DCC and a high stakes game taking place with single coins on the line. This is an ideal use case for the wassies and pepes. The anonymity of crypto was and is widely misunderstood. Every transaction that has ever occurred is published to the public ledger that is used to verify the chain.

Anyway, never pay people in crypto and don't give it as a gift. Normies do not want to receive crypto or have any association to it whatsoever. The industry is a joke but has time to evolve.

Crypto or pool?
Crypto is at the mercy of data centers.

Pool on the other hand is at the mercy of data centers.

You can diffuse the light, but you will still need some form of a grid under the diffused panels to reduce the glare or your eyes will be looking straight into the light. That's why so many people have trouble with perimeter lighting.

It musta been the early 80s or even late 70s when I had a waterbed shop at 8222 South Tacoma Way. Had the shop in the back of the store and had a pool table in the shop. Was real handy and profitable for after hours action.

Do people in China (Mainland not Taiwan) play American pool or mostly Chinese 8-ball?

Click to expand...

I grew up in Xiamen. Before 2018, most pool halls are American pool, and after that year, Chinese 8-ball started to gain much more popularity. But I would say Fujian province (in the cities Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou) and Shanghai are the two biggest American pool hubs in China (mainland). Shanghai has a successful american pool hall chain called Yuan8, and it now has a location in Xiamen as well. Most pool halls in Xiamen are a mix of American and Chinese 8-ball tables, favoring Chinese version.

What name brands pool cue are popular (aka sell good) over there?

Click to expand...

There are so many. Zen cue 仁杆 is the Chanel in all pool cue brands. I personally use a Fury (威利) butt and a Cueless (李斯）butt. Both brands I like and are affordable and sell(I assume) well. I got the cuelees phantom sword back home for 4800cny = 700usd. They also sell on seybert's but much more expensive https://seyberts.com/collections/cu...shark-skin-wrap-ls-b03?variant=43874675785926
