Same movie...

Sounds like you are on the right track. I assume that you have changed chaos five times, spent a bunch of money buying the best performing cue technology, tried several different gloves, and perfected a sixteen step psr. Once you've done that, drugs are the only way to improve. Seriously...

That is what I see, but I'd have one of those over a diamond IKEA light any day, as long as the light produce was comparable.

Maybe you can use AI. It might point out that she posted two photos.

Great. Now we need AI to explain jokes to us. I hate this world. I truly believe this is the first time in modern history that we are moving backward as a society. I used to shake my head when people talked about 'the good old days', but we peaked around 2015, and are regressing at a...

I'll remember them also. Your short story said all that needs to be said.

Those parents saw the opportunity to be the cool parents and grabbed it with both hands. Good on them. They'll live long after they escape this mortal coil.

Right. Mostly because they weren't taught the rules. Sometimes because they are belligerent jackasses.

May be true and I don't disagree. This is where a little faith should come in. Give the kids a chance to answer that question. Tell them what is expected and give them the opportunity to live up to that. I can't imagine having teens an still be questioning if they and their friends are...

The type of post I'd expect from you. Yes, they are juveniles. That means they aren't fully developed, but they are on their way. This is the exact time to let them learn and utilize responsibility. Something might get damaged. Too bad. That is what you signed up for when you decided to...

Nobody is suggesting putting a 14y/o on the road alone. The point is that eventually she will be on the road alone, controlling two tons of potential death. But the driving thing is meant only as a future responsibility and privilege. Giving her trust and responsibility in a lower stakes...

Really? It's a pool table, everything that will get damaged by kids is easily repairable. Your kid is two years from driving. If you don't trust her and her friends on a damn pool table, how are you going to handle putting her on public roads in a guided missile? Are you going to forbid her...

If you are really worried about it, maybe the compromise is that you get to be in the room for the first half hour, during which time you give a short lesson and shoot a couple trick shots. I guess, maybe look at it like you might inspire one of the kids to become a player. That is worth any...

Yup, 100% let her. If they are kids you allow your daughter to hang out with, then you should know them and trust them. You have the right to give them rules and explain the cost of violating those rules. Accidents will happen, so what?

If you already have the room to put the table and it isn't being used for anything else. If you have to add on and build the simplest of structures for a table, you need a bare minimum of 300sf and would be hard pressed to get it done for under $20k.
