Hey, man, one must strive to emulate the masters.

Bach taught me to strive to sire as many children as possible, and master the organs.

Much easier Beethoven's method:  have many illicit partners, and if complaints about troublesome children arise?  "Can't hear you!  What?"

I don't think one would blow headphone drivers using my method....not necessarily, if the cans have been broken in and one has the balls to try it.

Rack 'em.  9 ball, I'll spot you four on the wire, and you get the Orange Crush (aka I spot you the five ball and you get to break each time).

Twenty bucks a game.

What is this language , is this an old retired guy joke that i am too young to understand ?

I take it you're not a golfer.

That's all straight up pool gambling talk.  And not old-fashioned terms either:  a player would know what's what.

I explained what the orange crush is in 9b (oh, I didn't explain that the "orange" is the five ball because...it's orange....and the crush is breaking the rack).  Giving someone a game "on the wire" means in a race to, say, five, they have fewer games to win.  Four on the wire in a race to 11 means one player makes 11 games to win, the other only seven.

Just ways of enticing people to make a game:  not hustling someone, just putting down odds/handicapping a game.

Unless someone's a lemon man, stalling or hiding one's true speed.  That's hustling someone.

If I wanted to taunt an ex-girlfriend I sometimes see around, I might spot her one on the wire, race to five and give her the orange crush as well, since I know she doesn't play 9-ball well.  For money, of course, or maybe the privilege of degrading her publicly....like maybe she has to crawl on all fours in the pool hall or bar for a while.

And I changed the terms to be straight per/game, to be nicer.  You can look up what money frozen means yourself, but it's not worth explaining.  Frozen money can mean a few different things, so that wasn't a good example.  It just means play doesn't stop until someone wins n amount of monies.  It's a little old-fashioned, actually.  Nowadays people would play "Five [games] ahead" as to indicating when play stops, or however many games ahead.

Broke the annoying link from a children's cartoon.

But in fact, in pool there is what's called firing "air barrels" at someone while playing.  A "barrel" is the amount of money a game/set costs, i.e, the bet.  If one is playing three hundred a game and has six hundred dollars in their roll, they have two barrels.  And playing on air means you don't have enough to cover any bet, and don't have anyone to back you or put the bite on for some quick cash.

Not really.  You know who really loves technology?  Children.  And people who require elaborate medical interventions.

Well.  You and I are not so different, after all.

None of my cues have wraps — bare wood — and I don't use a glove nor any powder.

Yet I have to wear a sweatband to avoid dripping sweat from my head onto the felt.

Definitely not for me... I've invested a lot into my computer. Got the fastest graphics card money can buy, paired with the fastest RAM, CPU and Solid State Drives a man can imagine, all on my 49-inch beautiful 32:9 monitor.

I love me some ultra-fast internet and some first & third person shooters. Can't wait to get back into my gaming over the summer holidays.

I can run the game at 10240x2880 pixels with 8x MSAA... maybe it's overkill, but the image is clean and pristine.

It's so worth it... but yes, it can run Crysis and everything at 120fps.

I'm pretty sure that can only happen if you have access to a time machine and accidentally diddle your own mother, but that brings about other repercussions like time becoming cyclical because if you diddled your mother, you couldn't be born (technically), therefore you can't in the future have gone back in time to diddle your mother etc...

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal bodeboop. A sing lap should be completed every time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start.

Many kids dread it because it’s tiring, repetitive, and stressful—especially when classmates are watching.  Educators value it because it’s a low-cost, standardized way to measure aerobic endurance.

I worry about a generation of people that has the ability to just generate information from ChatGPT and other AI systems, instead of using their brain and coming up with their own justifications and reasons.
