That video is more fun when you assume those are eight or nine empty beers in front of him at the start.

By 2000, the debt-riddled PBA was doing so poorly that Microsoft employee Chris Peters, along with two of his co-workers, purchased it for $5 million -- less than the cost of a minor league baseball team. Peters set to work revamping the website (he purchased the domain pba.com), setting up the tech to stream every PBA tour event live over the internet, and pitching PBA coverage to major networks.
After almost 20 years of ESDF, I made the change to WASD about a year ago, mostly because there are too many games that don't allow rebinding, or worse, allow rebinding of some functions, but not others (Bethesda, fuck you - Fallout 4 and 76 both let you remap your movement keys, but hard-code the building movement keys to WASD, making them unusable if your rebind to any of those keys.)Pyperkub wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 12:56 pmYeah, I always have to remap to esdf, it's annoying that people who never learned to touch type defined fps movement.LordMortis wrote:After all these years finally getting reasonably good at WASD has made my generally bad typing worse.

Used arrows since I started in 94 and always will. With FO4 though ugh. When I built stuff I simply had to stand in one place and plant stuff around me then move some and do it again if I wanted to build anything. Thought it was stupid...still do.but not others (Bethesda, fuck you - Fallout 4 and 76 both let you remap your movement keys, but hard-code the building movement keys to WASD, making them unusable if your rebind to any of those keys.)

In the 70s and 80s I loved to watch pro bowling. I loved to go bowling. I haven't been in years thanks to my back but I still would if I could. Bowling has fallen on hard times though in the last decade and a half . All the alleys around here have closed but one. The originals are all gone. All of them were built in the 50s and 60s. The one we have now is some newer one built inside one of our old closed supermarkets. It has all the fancy stuff like a bar and blacklighting glow and crap.
Id give a lot if the old original from the 50s in the basement was here with eatery and jukebox. It was also a designated fallout shelter in case of atomic war. Sigh.
Seems like they'd do better targeting drinkers of British ale (i.e. "warm beer"). Though they'd likely need to make 'em a whole lot bigger.Kasey Chang wrote: ↑Mon Oct 21, 2019 10:14 am This product had to be invented by a guy...

Using all three machines gets your loads done quicker, but what if you're occupying the whole range at prime hours (right after work? after dinner?) when other tenants are most likely to want to use the machines too? Occupying all the machine from 7:00-9:00pm isn't the same thing as occupying all the machines at 2:00-4:00am.Sudy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 8:37 pm I live in an apartment of about 60 units. On-site laundry facilities is three washing machines and four dryers. Sometimes the same person uses two or three of the washers at once. Is this assholish, or efficient? I've been trying to figure it out mathematically. I believe each washer cycle is 38 minutes. Each dryer cycle is 50.
I've always thought using more than one washer at a time was assholish. I've only done it once when I was washing blankets, and only because the third machine was vacant. But then I started thinking about it. If you have the laundry to do anyway, isn't it in everyone's best interest for you to do it as soon as possible? Better for a machine to be in use than not. There are no rules posted regarding this.
But you still look and feel like an asshole if you're loading your second/third machine when someone else walks in needing to do their laundry. And I guess it's also a question of when. It seems like it might be more polite to use only one machine at peak times when there are more likely to be people needing to put a load in. But it's not quite clear when those peak times are (other than on the weekend).
Some of the annoyance would be mitigated by having a camera monitoring system tenants could access, but no such luck.
Efficient (from the machine's point of view) is doing a load of laundry as soon as you've accumulated one load of laundry. Waiting to do multiples in the communal laundromat is going to put more strain on the system. (By way of example: if everyone waited until they had eight loads accumulated, most of the time things would work out fine, but that one time someone was ahead of you and you had to wait four extra hours to get your loads started would really suck.)Sudy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 8:37 pm I live in an apartment of about 60 units.

That very much depends on how many people are in your household and what they do for a living. When we had a housemate that was a blacksmith our laundry loads increased dramatically.
Also, how fussy you are about your laundry. Wife won't wash blues with blacks, for example, so her "loads" can consist of as few as 4-5 garments. In my world view, there are whites, darks, and 2-3 categories of colors.
Two years earlier, behind the Great Firewall, he had already gained renown on video app Kuaishou for videos he had filmed of himself expressionlessly imbibing unimaginable quantities of alcohol, usually as part of a ghastly concoction involving beer, candy-colored liquor (often on fire), and a raw egg.
6 bowling complexes within 10 miles of my work per google. Plenty of people bowling still, it's just most of them have turned into multi entertainment complexes that have bowling lanes in addition to pool halls, arcades, etc. The small neighborhood bowling alleys may have mostly gone away much like mom and pop stores. Looks to be only about 3 in Chattanooga though. Maybe Kingpin 2 would reinvigorate the sportDefault wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2019 5:34 pm The real estate becomes worth more than the alley. Nobody bowls anymore. As a matter of fact, most team sports have ceased to be. :-/

I'm pretty sure it will hold brown liquor as well as wine. I mean who smuggles a glass of wine into a football game?
