Diminished interest in completing the set with 2 people I play with. One is constantly checking his phone or watching a game. I start taking flyers or simply say I'm tired and stop playing. Other is a relative. I take out my phone wait until tells me it's my turn... No reason for a phone to be out...
other than that, it is also plainly disrespectful to your opponent, synonymous to saying I don't give a rat's ass about you or you are not worth my time or focusing on unless it's only my turn and only time to shoot. on the otherhand, I like it better compared to someone standing infront of you on every shot.
Probably the best Meucci I can remember seeing was a 4 point 4 veneer cue with a hoppe butt. Really sharp looking cue. Must have been a one-off because I havent seen another one.
his quote "overdrive with the goal of replacing ALL HUMAN LABOR" wasn't referring to having an effect on the game as much as people having choices in how they make a living, which I believe was part of the dicussion. That was my impression anyway.
I reacted to the attached article about the robot that broke the world record in the half marathon, thinking about how it might translate to pro pool. There's every reason to believe that a pool playing robot might greatly excel one day.
Job well done. Folks that have never 3d printed will never know the frustration of terms like spaghetti defects, z-Axis error, warping, etc. In my shop my students run three bambu X1 carbons pretty much all day everyday...nothing more frustrating to them than having a 12-13 hour print fail after getting half way done!
In fact, more and more of them just go ask if they can just go build it out of wood!
