Well here's the thing.

There is a very specific title on this thread, there should be an expectation that most of what is in this thread relates to that title.

The photos of jimmy's meat are one thing, but the likely death and maiming that he posts are anything but funny. I've been through several dozen safety training courses/site inductions, and have seen way too many images of what happens to people after the types of things posted. I've met many 'survivors' of accidents like the ones posted. The word 'survivor' doesn't really describe most of the victims, they are not the same people as they were the moment before things went wrong. There are very real life-long consequences of every one of the 'funny' accidents that jimmy posts. Anyone who doesn't realize that is a child. Anyone who realizes that and still thinks it is funny is a sociopath.

We all have different tastes and different concepts of 'humor' or 'funny'. There are many things posted here which I don't find particularly 'funny', but in many of those cases I still find them entertaining to some degree.

For the few posts which I find neither 'humorous' or 'entertaining', it takes literally a fraction of a second to scroll past and ignore. I suggest this as a much preferable solution to your suggestion of attempting to 'define' or 'regulate' what can be posted.

Try it, please.

Would like some feedback on this...

insidesp.in
On insidesp.in you can now watch all the livestreams for an event on 1 screen and potentially cast it to your TV. But i want to hear from the peanut gallery how it looks on their screen/TV:

www.insidesp.in

Professional Pool Player Rankings, Tournament Results & Analytics | Inside Spin

Inside Spin delivers professional pool rankings, tournament results, and billiards analytics across major tours, players, and events.
www.insidesp.in www.insidesp.in

This is just a single event's live streams, but likewise you could go to: https://www.insidesp.in/live and see all streams live across all in progress events. Theoretically if predator and matchroom had live streams going at the same time this is where you would watch them all .

You have 3 different view settings Small, Medium, Large. And you have "Cast View" which minimizes the surrounding labels.

Let me know what you think please, and if there are any features youd like to see to better the viewing experience. (like maybe hiding certain livestream videos)

Here's Richard's post and his picture of the cue from December 2017.
His pictures use a flash, so the shafts are overexposed; but the wood grain pops more.

Why not switch the position of the 1 and 9 in 9-ball to make it more interesting?

Don't get all pissy there Ned, you're the one that came with 'Stupid Post of the Year' material. Should have seen the replies comin', its a tough room as Rodney Dangerfield used to say.

I have thought having the head ball be a ball other than the one is a good idea in 9 ball. With one on the spot and template racks, the pros make the wing ball on the break and play shape on the one. It makes 9 ball a joke to watch at the pro level. Even the 3 point rule doesn't make much of a difference. If you are using a template, no ball should be wired anywhere or be able to play shape. Bring back breaking hard to try to make a ball on the break.

The rules have changed so much over the years for the break in 9 ball. What makes one rule stupid vs another one good? Break from the box. Break outside the box. Change the size of the box. Put the 9 on the spot. 3 point rule at side pockets. 3 point rule at head string. Must use forceful break. If break is illegal, no push option.

Jerry Rauenzahn signed all his cues?

I just have to tell you that was pretty awesome the quick LOA you gave the guy on his cue.

What can be better than having it authenticated on here with a photo of Jerry giving his authentication.

I hope you can pick one up for yourself like you want

While it was cool to have @David in FL report Jerry recalls making my cue, there was never a doubt it was authentic despite the lack of a signature or -R-. I communicated directly with Jerry during the build and I have email documentation regarding specs, finishing aesthetics and progress photos. He was a pleasure to deal with, followed up when he said he would and I received the cue on the exact day Jerry said I would when I ordered it. In my experience, this is very rare in the billiards industry. Jerry is a class act.

Wood veneer wrap as handle

Chopdoc
-CR- said:
Cuetec and Becue are two companies I know of that offer wood veneer as a wrap on a handle, and wondered are there any custom cue makers out there that also do this? I personally like the idea if the line on the wrap is seamless, and there are no issues down the road. A high quality piece of veneer with consistent grain wrapped all the way around the cue, no A/B sides when rotated.

There are some old discussions in these forums about making a cue "wrapless" that cover this. You might search for those.

Probably many cue makers could/would do it. Making the seam not visible is the challenge. The first thing would be selecting the right wood I would think.

We'll see if the cue makers have much to say on this.
