Interesting article about the brain that may apply to this thread. I knew different sections of the brain were responsible for different things but this carries that concept a whole lot further.

This article claims the front and rear brains started out as two different organs, maybe not even in the same area of the body.

That tracks with what I saw helping someone clean an alligator. The alligator was still fighting minutes after the head was removed. One stab just in front of the hind legs and it went limp! Incidentally, alligator sauce piquant made by a Cajun lady that knows how is a dish straight from heaven!

That's interesting, I was expecting left and right hemisphere rather than front and rear. My previous study led me to the right and left hand relying on different sides of the brain. With the right hand control going to the math logical side and the left hand control coming from the creative side.. the right hand being measured and the left hand. By feel.. Kinda like Grandma cooked with a pinch and a dash rather than a cup or teaspoon measured .

Sometimes when I was young and silly I tried to double every warning sign on curves. Once when I had just had my '66 Corvette aligned front and rear a friend asked for a ride to see what it was like. I did my usual of doubling all the curves, then a quick run up to 130 or so on a straight.

Back through the curves from the other direction. After a raised section like a small levee for railroad tracks there was a wet spot I couldn't see. Got sideways at about 100. I didn't lift just drove through it.

A few miles later I was back at my friend's home. Got out, went on the front porch where two more friends were waiting and we talked for maybe five minutes.

Somebody realized T wasn't there. "Where is T?" We walked over to the vette. He was still sitting there with both hands locked on the handle over the glove box. "I am never riding with that son of a bitch again. I am never riding with that son of a bitch again. I am never riding with that son of a bitch again. I am never riding with that son of a bitch again ..." Over and over.

He was literally in deep shock! Took him minutes longer to turn loose of the handle and get out of the car. I will admit that doubling some of the signs marked 45-55 might have been a bit much, other than that it was a pretty routine run.

I don’t perpetuate such antics much any longer and definitely not where the posted sign reads above 40 MPH. I got my fixes doing track days and even that I retired from after I achieved personal bests at all the tracks I frequented. Going any faster would have required really taking chances and in my 60s I decided I really like keeping all my bones inside my skin.

These days I might do a blast on my favorite roads but only if the road is deserted. And in Mexico. 😁

My car emits a really high pitched squeal from the right side. It happens on both left and right turns when I send it. So if I am planning a “spirited” drive I leave her home. 🤣

That’s about my calculation for advisory/regulatory signs on entrance or exit ramps: I can usually do 2x+10.

But NOT in a semi!

And NEVER if the sign says <= 20MPH, especially true if it’s 15MPH. Fifteen usually means, um, 15!

Pool cue cases

You don't, it's about preventing your cues from falling out should the case ever fell off of a table or even just fall over with the lid open. Can't say I've ever had one fall off of a table but I have had one topple over.

I have a JB case
It fell more than any case I had in the last 20 years as if it not ment to be used vertically… or maybe it’s just the price we pay for light cases…
I have an Instroke that fell a few times, cues didn’t flew out of it.

I’m not bashing JB cases, I think they are good cases but I think that his interior design is over protective to a point it might damage the cues.
I wouldn’t use it for a very high end cues and on the other side it too much for a cheap player’s set.
