  1. You're gonna hate to hear this, but that backwards ass state to the north might just be more progressive than ours these days.
  2. For anyone else wondering that hasn't seen that watch before, this is how you tell the time with it (it's actually quite clever and efficient):
  3. I don't really care what the cars look like, just give me something remotely competitive 1-4 instead of 2-5. And given how the reveals have gone, I'd say it's a 0.5% chance the Silver Arrows are silver this year. Maybe purple.
  4. Troll on, brudda. Troll on.
  5. No golfer on the planet can handle yells or spikes of noise during their swing, not even Tiger (who had the most epic swing brake I've ever seen and he had to use it often because of this). Elite athlete has nothing to do with it. Unless you want to contend that these guys aren't "elite athletes".
  6. You're out of your element here. Might be time to sit this one out.
  7. Do you play golf? Have you attended a PGA event? Shooting a FT and swinging a club are on entirely different planes. You're calm and loose during the entire sequence of a FT. Golf swings are tense and torquey. FT have a significant margin for error. Golf swings do not. 1 degree of swing plane or face angle is the difference between flush and fat, green and OB, draw and hook... Getting startled, even slightly, is enough to cause that. You also get far more "startling" noises on a golf course because it's generally quiet compared to a basketball game. As stated above, constant noise isn't an issue. They're all teeing off with roars in the background, airplanes flying above. That's not the issue. The dumbass on their phone or just being a belligerent drunk are the issue.
  8. It's their livelihood and their caddie's livelihood. Not all of them are top 50 in the world, making dozens of cuts and getting paid each week. A lot of them are struggling to cover their costs, particularly caddies. So ya, I get it if they get pissed if some drunk moron in the desert thinks he's more clever than he actually is.
  9. I'm certainly not alone in my opinion, see Jay Monahan story above. When top brass wants to can a long running, high revenue, high visibility stop on tour, things have gone way south. We all can agree, watching golf is a niche thing. This is their attempt to make it for everyone and for those of us in that niche, I think it sucks. Hearing the fans constantly mouth off stupid shit repeatedly (way more so than usual) and then watching players have to react, sometimes aggressively, is not appealing to me. It really wreaks of LIV. It's a shame because I think the course actually sets up for great golf - tough front you have to slog through but a very scoreable back with some great risk, reward shots (tee shot and approach on 15, tee shot on 17) and a good finisher on 18.
  10. Callaway used store is a good place to start - might be lacking in lady's sticks but you can always buy men's and cut them down, depending on how tall she is. Ebay will likely have some good finds on lady's sticks as well and I highly doubt there are many fakes on the lady's side.
  11. I'm over this tournament. It's a fucking clown show full of douchebags just looking to get hammered and make a fool of themselves for 5 seconds of TikTok fame. Listening to the fan comments is so... cringe. I get golf fans are just awkward as F to begin with but this tournament is so bad. Forget the fact that the whole draw is a wholly pedestrian bullshit par 3 that they carnival'd up into a spectacle. Just make this a LIV stop. What an embarrassment.
  12. Titleist and Mizuno know how to design sexy looking irons. Any of those Japanese brands as well - miura, Endo, fourteen, etc....
  13. I don't think Republicans deserve any benefit of the doubt after the last 8 years. They are who we think they are and we shouldn't fall for the ruse.
  14. Anything but the blades, really. Everything else is varying degrees of strong lofted and very forgiving. Of the non blades, look at all of them - which looks best to your eye? That's where I'd start.
  15. Is that first photo a before and after shot?
  16. I like Friends. Give me old and boring.
  17. Using anecdotes to defend your position is usually a sign of a weakness. Which is the case here. UT Austin grads make up a small % of "good corporate jobs" in Austin, certainly not enough. Most, like Bozo said, are imports following the work.
  18. Edit: @FirstTimeCaller echo'd my thoughts exactly.
  19. That's not how math works. Edit: Or you're leaving out a key piece of info such as "I now have a homestead exemption or ag exemption or..."
  20. Nothing. I'd never get it past anti-stall. But to be a passenger, now you're talking.
  21. I have a CM 2HP dust collector - you can disconnect the hose that leads to the bag and it will work like you described. That works great for most tools but for things like my sander, the shop vac's higher velocity air flow seems to work better. The CM also uses bigger hoses so those will be more expensive but the actual unit itself isn't bad. https://www.harborfreight.com/35-gallon-2-hp-high-flow-high-capacity-dust-collector-59726.html
  22. You misunderstand me. I'm taking this very seriously. I see the end game and I'm not saying we shouldn't discuss what happens if Texas doesn't back down. I'm commenting on how quickly we've pivoted to killing (current) citizens and burning cities to the ground. It's all talk (for now), I get it - just not comfortable talk to this weenie lib.

    Measles

    Vaccines only work if a critical mass gets them because as @SquishMitten mentioned, they are not 100% effective. You need 99% of the herd to be 80% protected to effectively ward off the disease (making up numbers here).
