Relax. Go play your carom if you don’t care.
i dont
, but i cant while at work
thats got nothing to do with how goofy this thread is tho
You guys are way too harsh, in this context. Some people are interested. Pubo is the high speed camera guy. He has collaborated with Dr Dave to make some valuable contributions. Chill
Don’t knock academia and curiosity. It is why you are even able to have a smartphone at work.
curiosity killed the cat
the angle of the dangle is inversely proportionate to the heat of the meat provided the maxis of the axis and the gravity of the cavity remain constant
I just tested the feature over in the Tests sub, and basically the comment voting shows up only if the thread is marked as a “Question” when originally posted.
Not sure if the feature is new, but I haven’t seen it here before.
I doubt that many folks will use that designation when creating a thread, which is unfortunate, because ordering comments by votes and auto-hiding down-voted comments would allow this community to self-moderate and keep the crap out. This was one of the keys to Reddit’s success in becoming the biggest online forum in the world.
If I were running things here, I’d turn that on for every thread, then give the option to users to sort chronologically or by rating.
For every thread I create, which are usually questions or thought experiments, I will now use this feature.
Otherwise it is like working with a team where everyone's input is equally valued, but half of the team doesn't want to be there or even wants the company to succeed. This way they can all wait out in the hallway instead.

For anyone who shits on this post:. Consider that it was the coefficient of friction question that prompted a prisoner to attach leather to a cue.
This site is hilariously sad. So many people show their dedication to ignorance and think themselves superior for it. Same shitty people who bullied the nerds in school.

Can't belive I accidentally have you all discovered a new feat! haha. I'll use "question" post in the future too.
.
Does it happen on both long and short shots? On long shots hitting with maximum low actually gets less draw action than hitting a little above that, with the same non-slip traction.

It's possible he is justnum? just saying
Man, I looked at your Centennial table install and that was pretty impressive from, the cross hair tape on the floor, to the 80 pound granite lapping stone and the carpet feet. Not to mention the excellent Mark Gregory rails with numbers at the connections. Nice!!
Question, do you think the weight of the table will drive the carpet feet down? It that why you used 25 nails in each carpet foot?
Thanks! Yeah, love the table.
Funny you should ask about the carpet feet. I just had the table moved to our new house, and the nails in the feet had all sunk into the subfloor wood far enough to make removing the wooden platforms in one piece impossible. Had to break the wood into pieces and pry out each nail individually. But at least the carpet wasn’t flattened, and the table never lost its level in almost 8 years.
We have it on a porcelain tile floor now, so no more carpet feet. Now the worry is jumping balls off the table and cracking tiles, which hasn’t happened yet, but I like to work on my break speed, so we’ll see.
I figured they'd sink based on the weight of that old beast.Thanks! Yeah, love the table.

I have (2) 10 foot Centennials. Going to get Mark Gregory to do the rails pretty soon. I'm itching to set one up so I'm going to get Mark to do the rails soon. One of them is a snooker conversation and one of them is supposedly the table Luther Lassiter played on at his home room in SC, -- it's got buckets for pockets..
The nice part about a converted snooker table is that the pocket shelves are very, very, very deep simply because snooker balls and casting opening are much are smaller. Mark Gregory told me that's the table to set up to play tough. Makes a great one pocket table.
I'm going to look up your guy Doug since I'm in Houston and my long time friend and table mechanic passed away last year.
RIP David Danziger..
