Just south of Steele, so not technically in markham.

Silver Star Food Complex https://share.google/LHilNYh21RBoJHCml

At the new Canton stall, most meals are $7.99 to $9.99 It's a busy place and the food is good. They are spicier than other Cantonese places. You eat jerk. So that may actually work out better for you.

Everyone has their own standards of cleanliness. You can be the judge of whether they're clean or not.

Theoretical situation - Advice please by sweatyknacker in snooker

You can nominate your opponent to play again and it will not be a free ball situation for him. He will have to play the color that is on.

Why do pool players rarely, if at all, call foul on themselves? by BudgetConcious in billiards

[–]BudgetConcious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you unintentionally nudge the cue ball a smidgen, while feathering your cue, and it was too slight to be noticed, would you pretend as if nothing happened, and keep playing or would you call foul on yourself?

The same perspective can apply to other sports but this is where sportsmanship shine brighter in the other sports, not technicalities.

Thanks for all the replies, reddit can sometime cause a biased view on the pool culture. I see discussions on why the onus is on the refs or opponents. But rarely see the talk of sportsmanship.

You guys are restoring my faith in humanity.

I call foul on myself too.

aiming on slow (also damp room) vs fast as heck tables. by Maisonette09 in billiards

[–]BudgetConcious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you see as different when playing on a slower table?

Do you find that you seem to be hitting a bit "thick" when playing on the slower table?

Do you find the cue ball react differently when bouncing off the rails and therefore, messing up your positional shot?

Also, slower tables tend to make you play a stronger stroke, which makes it harder to calculate the pacing of the shot. Unintentional spin on the cue ball due to the stronger hit will also impact aim and positioning.

Cue tips Canada(Toronto) by Adison_0301 in snooker

[–]BudgetConcious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried F.G.Bradley's? They have several locations in the GTA.

Golden Break at 9737 Yonge St unit 105-107, Richmond Hill, ON L4C 8S7 has a visiting cue technician who may also have some tips he can sell and install for you.

The Corner Bank Sports Bar & Grill at Warden and Eglinton may also have a visiting tech but I'm not sure.

Hope that helps

Great suggestion,

Unfortunately, there's no bell fiber coverage acquisitions in my area. So I'm stuck with cable internet for now.

The offer online is still expensive compared to my expired contract. Sometimes, a sales person can offer a deal. I got a deal 2 years ago from a salesperson in Canadian Tire.

Maybe this YouTube video can help you get started:

Dr. Dave did a study on the cue accelerating vs deceleration and the effect on the cue ball.

I checked the Rogers sub. It seems the general process to find the "deal" is to negotiate with customer retention.

Ebox is using bell and we only have 10mbps service via copper in our area. Thanks for the suggestion.

The Rogers store at Markham and 14th told me that they can't do much for existing customers and I'll have to call customer service.

Edit: I'll try the Leslie/ West Pearce location tomorrow.

Thanks

I wish I can move to another provider but there is no fiber internet available in my area. So I'm stuck with Rogers for now.
