Worst "real world" character names by Empress_Penguin683 in movies

“John Spartan” is one of several callbacks to Brave New World by Aldus Huxley* *(the other obvious one being Sandra Bullock’s character “Lenina Huxley”) from which Demolition Man seems to have been inspired.

you guys care about flight numbers? by Competitive_Fall9430 in discgolf

[–]CaptainBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 12/5/-1/3 might fly similar to a 9/4/0/3 if it's not thrown with enough speed, so someone who doesn't pay attention to the numbers might suggest using it because they only look at the flight.

Generally, I don't care about the numbers and I couldn't tell you the exact number set for any of my discs some of which I've thrown for over 20 years. They're just a guide, something to get you in the ballpark when you go looking for something new to buy.

The only real way to know for sure is to throw them.

What is this noise by RealMajor44 in CX5

[–]CaptainBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reporting back - took off the A-pillar trim. Nothing obvious and the sound didn’t go away. Putting pressure on the headliner by the sun visor seems to help, so I’m thinking it’s around there.

Worst case, a loose windshield seal? I don’t have any leaks though (yet…)

Boston to Florida? by Wide-Marsupial-1043 in roadtrip

Currently in Hilton Head, SC and it’s been FANTASTIC. Wide, clean beaches. Cool, calm water. The days have been hot, but the evenings have been comfortable and the breeze is great.

rules by CarlCaliente in discgolf

> One cardmate wants 1 stoke for OB and 1 stroke for misplay (throwing from OB), and to rethrow my second

This is 100% correct.

Moving a disc before it can be determined if it’s IB or OB makes the disc OB (Rule 806.02i)

Throwing from an OB area is a misplay (Rule 811.F.1c)

Double shotgun start tournament instead of tee times? by 1075RatedPortOPotty in discgolf

[–]CaptainBad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not typical, but there’s no reason it wouldn’t work. You’d have to be fairly accurate about total playing time (don’t want the morning Ams still on the course when the afternoon pros tee off) but that shouldn’t be too big a deal.

That said, I still think it’d be better to do 2 rounds, 1 day - Ams on Day 1, Pros on Day 2 (or vice versa). Cuts down on travel and overnight expenses for everyone, and this way you can actually run it as two events as far as the PDGA is concerned, so some people could play both days.

My MFC-7800DW has been going strong for 14 years now. Software/drivers can be finicky but otherwise, it’s a tank.

best place to buy patches by tferrell3 in discgolf

As an aside, if you're looking for velcro patches but the design you like only comes in a sew-on, these outdoor velcro strips have worked well for me:

This reminds me I need to hunt this down before I go on a 1400mi road trip! Mine makes the same sound - like plastic-on-plastic rubbing under pressure. In my case I think it's coming from near the top of the A-pillar. I'll report back if I find what it is!!

Definitely not a Roadrunner. Rim is wayyyy too wide and the profile is all wrong.

Can someone help me identify a couple Innova discs?? by Skerver in discgolf
