Tim Scruggs first worked at Joss for three months in 1970, and then returned full time from 1972 until 1978 after Bill Stroud left to form Joss West.

You're post said it. It was a gamble.

It's just a different technique to cut the channel for the points. Cutting them in with CNC isn't a problem. If you get a sharp point cue from Joss they are cut in with CNC. Probably that's true for all the major manufacturers. No need to set up a jig on a table saw to do it when you have...

The Crazy Redhead confirms you can get carpet burns on a pool table.

Eddie Parker? I met him around that same time, 1986. He was playing with a Joss similar to mine and was in town doing an exhibition. We played some after his exhibition. I think I have an autographed picture of him buried in an old box somewhere. He did make that claim, and I guess made a...

I am an AI researcher and have worked with frontier AI in epidemiology and national defense. The fear mongering is real, but the antithesis is just as misleading. AI itself is driving both sides of that argument and is being engineered to do it. That's a big part of what our group studied...

The Crazy Redhead: If you want some strange, use the other hand.

I asked The Crazy Redhead. She said if you are slipping on the pool table you are using too much lubricant.

Watching videos encodes player behavior, actions, and patterns, not player knowledge. It then creates the AI knowledge base, but that isn't the same as the player knowledge base. This is an interesting endeavor and there will be a great deal more to come. It causes me to reflect on the...

Reasonable goal. But putting "other" in the survey can't help achieve that goal, putting the 18 pin would. So...? It's an extremely common pin vs "other". You can't stock "other".

Do you mean the Joss CF shaft?

Try as I might I could not get cupcake to rhyme with smitten. Besides...he's not my cupcake...yet...

I do like them dirty....
