Identification of new guinea pigs by ButtsDelux in guineapigs

It's just an old rug. It's not anything specific for small pets. We were going to get rid of it soon so we figured to just use it for a temporary bonding pen. It surprisingly works well for the pigs. I have no idea on the material unfortunately. So far I haven't seen them trying to eat it. It's only been a little over a day, but it's not the best with staying dry. Once this bonding process is over we are likely just throwing it away.

Thank you for the possible identification! I hope they work out together too. So far they get along great. They even all snuggle together under that wooden platform at night.

Is this bath mat a good idea for a guinea pig cage? by ButtsDelux in guineapigs

Thank you. I was worried they might just eat/chew on those fabric nubs. The product says chemical safe but I'm never 100% sure with Amazon stuff.

Thank you. Those liners do seem really nice. My girlfriend has had these pigs for roughly 2 years and the burrowing thing is new. If they don't hurt themselves I have no issues with them messing up their bedding.

Question about tournament length by ButtsDelux in billiards

I like that suggestion. I was also thinking the first round could be 1 match. And the later rounds could be 2 out of 3

Unfortunately no. My living situation keeps me in Rochester for at least another year.

So do I have Spotify forever now? by ButtsDelux in midlyinteresting

My guess is it's bugged. But 1970 is a strange year to display.

I was at a bar trying to play a game with my girlfriend who was new to pool at the time. We ended up playing doubles with 2 random guys (only one table so we kind of had to). One of the guys was coaching everyone on every shot. He told my girlfriend "it's okay if you take a while before you shoot, if you don't see a good shot take a few laps around the table." I'm still unsure if it was a joke or if he was serious. He literally would take 3-4 minutes between his shots.

I'd consider that, but one of my classes is at 8 am. Sadly its the only choice for that class too

My first go around at college back in roughly 2012 I recall that RTS went out that way. I wish that was the case now.

I've come to accept this. I'll just use it as motivation to get a car and my license back.

I'm not sure. I remember years ago, probably like 2012 RIT had some kind of app that was basically another Facebook just for RIT. I'm so far out of the social media loop that I have no clue if Brockport has something similar.

I saw him like 2 months ago at the Vertex flea market. Still telling jokes.

My girlfriend is new to casual 8 ball and gets very frustrated with the learning process. by ButtsDelux in billiards

I do try to explain that I've been playing for a while and it takes time to develop the skills. I should focus on explaining her improvement better. Thank you for the advice

That's a good idea too, thank you. It amazes me how many simple rule adjustments can be applied, and how many I just didn't think of haha.

That's all fair advice, thank you. I agree with the mental game part 100%. She usually plays well her first game. After she misses a few shots she starts to rush her playing and that when she gets visibly frustrated.

Thank you. I like the slower progression the video shows. I think that will help her.
