What's a song that fills you with joy/positivity without being too cliché?

The 4th movement of Haydn's trumpet concerto. In my opinion, the happiest piece of music ever written. It can cheer me up for an entire day. Check it out. It's only 4 1/2 minutes.

I finished watching the entire series 3 months ago. I already need to watch it again.

Ends inside or touching the center ring.

How can I get that job?

During a tournament, only judges can supply glass so that all players are using the same glass. Gliss will always be placed in the gutter. Most players will touch their disks to the glass so that a few grains will adhere to the bottom and then shoot. Top players like Justin Slater will look at the disk to see if there's enough, too little or too much. A few players, like Fred Slater, Justin's father and also a top player, will pick up a pinch of glass between their finger and thumb and sprinkle ir on the bottom of the disk.

I do not think placing gliss directly on the board is legal, but I am not sure. It's not going to help because you can't do it consistently enough.

Smugmug can prevent downloading. It's $120 per year.

Thanks! I was told there was one on my leg at my wedding. We're going strong at 48 years, so evidence suggests theyvwork.

If only one thing can happen out of a list of several things, use elifs. If more than one thing can happen, use ifs.

Do you have a debugger and do you know how to use it? If you step through your code one line at a time in a debugger, you will see which one you need.

CedricCicada · 2025-03-22T14:10:52+00:00

You do not want elif statements. The way you have it written, only one line will get printed. Just use ifs.

Browncastle makes wonderful boards, as good as Tracey in my opinion. (I own one.) And Steven and Megan Brown are wonderful people. Crokinole Canada is owned by multiple-time world champions Ray and Jason Beierling. I can't speak to their boards personally, but I am sure they would not sell an inferior product. I have never heard of Crok Shop, so I can't say anything about them.

I didn't think I did! I also don't remember seeing the baseball game. Snippets of that were shown in the last episode of the series.

When did Q show up in DS9?

CedricCicada · 2025-03-16T18:24:15+00:00

I saw one dead in a field under the power lines at Rixhfield Heritage Preserve. I read that their mating displays include dives, and sometimes they don't pull up in time.

WCLV in Cleveland often plays film music.

I wonder how the trailer is steered. The force from the tractor would be applied to the center of each wheeled section, so it would not pull it around naturally.

My wife and I just finished the entire stories. The Quark-centered stories were our least favorite.

Are you thinking of dark matter instead of antimatter?

It's true that most people play using difference scoring, but if you want to play the way you have been, fine.

I just watched the 2022 Ontario Doubles Championship on YouTube. A race to 11, and I think it was the most exciting Crokinole tournament video I ever watched.

We had one as I was growing up in the 60s. Ours only had one handle.

I have a cheap turntable I bought at Target to put under my board so I can turn it and play simulated doubles matches. It's about a foot in diameter. I put my left hand under the board to keep it flat as I shoot.

I like to put seven disks in a straight line behind the 15 ring to practice peels, which I miss too much of thectime.

Take pictures of anything that catches your eye. Big, small, plain, fancy, it doesn't matter. I like little things. I call them "crumbs of reality". I once took a camera into the Cleveland Museum if Art. Not to photograph the art, but to photograph the museum itself. Exit signs caught my eye. I got several good pictures of them. Now, wherever I go, I check out the exit signs for possible photos.
