    Funny pic/gif thread...

    It's on a Reddit LSD thread. Dude is tripping.

    If you could build your dream room that actually has a chance to stay in business…

    Yes, but not explicitly. Ladies would be welcome if that is their vibe. Hell, might even have a few ladies-only nights every month. The big thing is that retired dudes tend to shut themselves off to the world and it is detrimental to their health. I'd like to see more places like that.

    If you could build your dream room that actually has a chance to stay in business…

    Nope. For a few simple reasons: I wouldn't open a place without having three years of operating capital. I would figure out the market that had the best chance of success. I fully believe that there is a large customer base for this. This is for guys who stay at home instead of going to...

    If you could build your dream room that actually has a chance to stay in business…

    Where do you live? I've never seen someone kicked out of a bar for not buying a drink. A business shouldn't cater to people 'killing time' for free or doing work on their laptop. I don't want to hang around the type of people who think that is the function of a business. I want to hang out...

    Every supermarket, target, walmart, etc. has an ATM. You don't have to go to a bank or a gas station.

    If you could build your dream room that actually has a chance to stay in business…

    I'd go the other way. It would only work in a big city with a decent amount of money, but my dream room would have the following: -Dark wood wainscot -Leather club chairs -Deco styling, it should look...and feel like you walked into the 1920's. -No TV's -No Jukebox -A library -10 9-ft pool...

    Tall player issue

    Yes, the cueball 'feels' force. The arm provides force to accelerate the cue. But when discussing a system of two objects impacting the relevant law is conservation of energy. If you skip the whole part of figuring out how much energy is in the system, you can't get anywhere. The energy...

    Tall player issue

    It isn't exactly F=ma that is the driving formula, it is more a matter of conservation of energy. It could easily feel like he is hitting softer with the long cue if it means that his arm is closer to 90deg when hitting--that is where the arm is strongest due to the geometry of the elbow and...

    Tall player issue

    I used the mech. bridge once in the past ~20hrs playing on my 9'. I'm just not going to add a second joint, excess weight, and an awkward amount of length to a cue I like for one shot in multiple hours of play. I wasn't getting the impression that the OP was talking about using a long cue due...

    The description says you can remove the 0.014" mylar backing.

    Tall player issue

    I'm 6'3 and have never used an extension. I have made myself a couple of 62" cues, but don't play any better/different with those than my 58-60" cues. Proper stance and proper form negate the need for an extension.

    Playing well matters to me. That's enough. It's like driving, I try to be a better driver every time I get behind the wheel. I try to be better at everything I do, every time I do it.

    breaking with a Juma jointed cue

    Just a different take here, he didn't say that the shaft had no collar, just that the juma was on the butt. There could be another collar of another material on the shaft and below the juma on the butt.

    By definition gambling must involve a risk of loss. You have said you won't play if there is a chance you will lose.

    It's not gambling if you only play people you know you can beat, don't let them use their own 'special equipment', and change the rules to your advantage. You have posted enough about your conditions for everyone to know that you con, not gamble.

    100% bud. Self-actualization, in a way. I find it kinda sad when someone says that they need money on the line to play well, or, 'make it interesting'.
