    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    And they don’t go to second-order contacts, which the rest of the team would be.

    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    Right, it’s not perfect but there’s no need for conspiracy theories (but they seem impossible to resist for lots of people when it comes to covid). I had an exposure to someone who tested positive a few weeks ago, and I got tested and since I was vaxxed and tested negative, I didnt need to...

    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    It sounds like it was a possible exposure, like somebody he came into contact with reported a positive test and listed Earl as one of the people spent time with. So no possibility of re-testing or false positive.

    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    They're having their press conference. This entire Mosconi Cup was about Earl, and now he's not going to play. Emily looks like she's about to cry.

    Jeremy Jones taking over for Earl on team

    They just announced this. Possible COVID exposure for Earl. Devastating.

    When you can't get natural angle;.... do you use draw or follow?

    The way I’d think about it is that you’ve got to cheat the pocket a lot to get down table. If you draw, you’ve got to hit it harder than with follow (because with draw you’re relying purely on spin), which makes the miss more likely. So it makes more sense to follow.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Maybe you’re right, that’s how I understood what he was saying.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    He used a triangle rather than template + outline. The outline is only required if a template rack is used.

    How to overcome fear of a certain type of shot

    Pfft, they said opioids were dangerous too.

    How to overcome fear of a certain type of shot

    Of course there’s a ton of knowledge about how to overcome fear, and I think it boils down to two things: 1. Exposure. You habituate to the fear-inducing stimulus by repeated exposure to it, and you extinguish the avoidance response, and 2. Benzodiazepines.

    Chris Reinhold Completes Team USA

    Good for Chris. There will be a lot of disappointed Oscar fans.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    What happened? He was taking a break after 210 so I stopped watching, and then when I came back it was over.

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Having watched Schmidt’s 626 and several other of his runs, it looks to me like SVB is far more likely to take longer shots, like shots from the short side up into the far corner pockets, many times even diagonally rather than straight up the long rail. He doesn’t miss many that’s for sure, but...

    Tyler Styer on Team USA

    I heard that too, but I’d rather not repeat why because I don’t know if it’s true.

    Tyler Styer on Team USA

    And to be fair Shane is a co-captain and so presumably played a role in actually picking Tyler!

    SVB to Kick Off High Run Attempts

    Or make many more attempts. Schmidt set aside way more time to start over and try again than the guys in this exhibition will. I could flip a coin and hit heads 10 times in a row if I had enough time to start over and try again time after time. I think that’s what Schmidt had to do, except the...

    International Open

    I just bought the PPV for the last day. How cool would it be to see Dennis v Shane in the finals? It would be like the US Open from, what, 7-8 years ago.

    EARL STRICKLAND Returns to TEAM USA

    So far Shane (playing captain), Skylar, and now Earl. Yes I think it’s all wildcard picks. I would guess Billy would be a pick, and then the only other thing we know for sure is that Justin Bergman won’t be a pick.
