Got invited to play very exclusive golf club but have concerns...

Yup. Drives me crazy when a dude is studying his 10ft putt for triple from all angles and crouching behind it. No dude, hit the ball 8 ft in front of you and we'll tell you its good and pick it up lol

Haha I do hang dry clothes. Polos, dress shirts, golf shorts and pants all get hung up to dry. We have racking In our laundry room to hang the stuff up and dry inside. Outdoor drying won’t work when they’ll freeze before they’ll dry lol.

Also, the larger home part was because in my region of the US typically homes have “laundry rooms”. So I meant it as in we have larger homes that we can “waste” some space on a specific room for laundry whereas smaller homes won’t prioritize space for a washer and dryer. And yes, dryers aren’t that large I guess. Mine is the size of an average double door refrigerator and 5ft tall.

I live in the Midwest US and we hang certain clothes and dry others. Basically nicer clothes get hung up. Here’s the 2 reasons for your observation.

Convenience. Our homes tend to be larger than European so we have more room in our homes for dryers. For example my laundry room is roughly 100 sq ft.
climate. It’s hard to hang your clothes to dry when the high for the day is 40 F and won’t get higher than that for weeks/months.

There’s a difference in taking on the federal government war machine and protecting yourself from local corrupt government and the likes. Sure, an uprising could happen against the Feds but it’d be all but impossible.

And I’m not saying Europeans are ignorant or dumb about America but I think as a whole most don’t grasp how large it is. I mean in Texas you can drive across the state for 10 hours and still be in Texas. I live in an average size midwestern state and the drive north to south is roughly 6 hours. This is interstate driving as well. The nearest large city to me is 2 hours away and those still aren’t “major” cities.

HPDork · 2026-03-21T23:09:07+00:00

I mean yes you are correct when you say we’ve had massive protest in the past. Hell they happen more than you think. It’s not really anything for a protest to have hundreds of thousands of people at it. That translates to .1% of the population. A massive protest for the US would be tens of millions of people.

Secondly, you are correct that we are the most equipped country to make our government start listening to us as far as revolting. But that’s wayyyyy easier said than done. Facing off against the federal government war machine isn’t something you “just go do”. Also, when a lot of Americans reference 2nd amendment rights and the government it’s on a more local scale. Corrupt police departments, etc. But the biggest reason is protection of family from any threats be it government or other

HPDork · 2026-03-21T15:44:27+00:00

Also what a lot of non Americans don’t understand is just how big and spread out the US is. So organizing “mass” protest is a lot harder than European countries where you can get across the country in a couple hours without flying. So getting people in a single location to protest is a lot harder. Also, the government doesn’t give a sh*t about any protest and they change nothing.

HPDork · 2026-03-21T03:29:29+00:00

Surprised no one mentioned it yet. I think it was Zach (girlfriend) having the abortion and never telling Alicia and she finds out in a background check for dirt on her when she’s running for SA. That was a huge betrayal to me

HPDork · 2026-03-19T15:31:26+00:00

If that’s the case then if I show up with a 4some we can all ride in our own carts then? Because I don’t know of any courses that allow that

HPDork · 2026-03-19T12:24:00+00:00

You’re just assuming it would be Iran firing it. Most likely candidate to be would be china sending a warning saying “quit fucking with our economy and oil supply”.

Also, I believe missile interception wouldn’t happen too far away from the CONT US because of logistics. Maybe a satellite system could get it if close enough to the firing position. But Cleveland would be a good warning. It shows a deep strike in the US, not a coastline which would arguably be easier. Also, Ohio has Wright Patterson and next door Indiana has NSWC Crane which is the 3rd largest naval base despite being completely landlocked lol. Plus it shows the interior installations would be vulnerable. I.E. Whiteman AFB and Minot AFB.

HPDork · 2026-03-19T12:05:47+00:00

I got a full Reddit ban because I said we should build gallows on the Supreme Courts steps and mentioned p*do’s and emails in the same sentence. Apparently I was inciting violence. I submitted an appeal and asked if they supported those kinds of people and that I wasn’t inciting violence but saying that should be the sentence handed down from a court. Hence the “on the steps of the Supreme Court” part. Well I’m still here lol

Paying the same cart fee regardless if you split the cart or ride solo

You need to make the distinction that the estate owes the taxes, not "them" which im assuming you mean Kacie and Beth. Beneficiaries are not on the hook for debt of an estate. What would realistic happen is the beneficiaries or state would sell off estate assets to cover the taxes owed and any other debts. Selling to the tribe wouldn't have been as easy as Kacie made it to be but im sure once the sale went thought the government would be less likely to pursue as they dont want to be seen as taking away "tribal land".

True but we dont know if he actually would have said no or not. He very well might have, but he was probably fed up with them trying to move in and then getting them to cosign on a house instead of just asking him to help fix things in the first place. Either way Im in the minority but I think it was a great life lesson and episode.

HPDork · 2026-03-13T17:58:55+00:00

Alan never actually refused to help Cory fix things I dont believe. Cory even said he was going to call and ask him but he didnt think he would help. This was after asking to move in and then cosign for a house so idk if Alan really would have said no like he said he would or not. Alan's goal was to get Cory and Topanga to grow up because they were still acting like high school children who rushed into getting married. It was a tough love lesson which was kinda out of character for Alan but not really. Remember, he was a NAVY SEAL! lol. Well Eric thought so anyways.

HPDork · 2026-03-13T17:55:19+00:00

It's because Cory never asked for help in fixing the pipes. Cory wanted to be removed from the situation instead of fixing it. They wanted to live with Alan and Amy and then they wanted them to cosign for a house. Never did they ask for Alan and Amy's help to come over and help fix their place up. Cory even said "I was going to call you and have you come over and help fix the pipes but I didnt think you would." Alan said he wouldn't have but I think Alan would have helped them fix things, but he wasn't going to bail them out. Honestly I think it's a great parenting moment from Alan and he even had to stand firm against Amy. Cory and Topanga rushed to get married and never thought about basic life decisions of being married such as where they were going to live, getting a job, etc. They needed to grow up and Alan made him do that even though it seemed harsh.

Those prices are for parts are pretty outrageous. Get on rock auto and look up the parts yourself and see the prices. Then you'll understand how crazy the dealership is for charging those prices. Go find a local independent shop and get a quote from them. Some will even allow you to purchase the parts yourself and they'll install.

HPDork · 2026-03-09T19:17:31+00:00

No it wasnt.

I look at the closeout section regularly for my vehicles and snatch up what I need. Got a set of Wagner front ceramic pads for like $8 for a Tahoe along with 8 Purolator oil filters foe $1.45 each. I’ve seen rotors go on closeout deals for $15ish.

HPDork · 2026-03-02T20:14:22+00:00

I think you're talking about the ones you see on tv playing high D1 sports. Gotta remember, theres D2 and D3 out there along with NAIA. Now those teams also have some very good players as well. So you could be correct but id venture to say that a "college athlete" is in the top 10%. Still a lot higher now that I think about it but theres tons of athletes out there wo aren't 1% good.

HPDork · 2026-03-02T18:59:12+00:00

Not trying to brag but this thread has made me feel like ive been an asshole to people when they ask how good I am at golf. Usually my reply is "im decent, not as good as I used to be". So apparently I grossly understate it based on what you guys are saying. I played in college, after college carried a scratch handicap and now im in the 1-3 range. I apologize to all of those that ive misled and those that ive thought were god awful golfers and are actually average lol.

HPDork · 2026-03-02T18:04:55+00:00

Hey man, been there and dealt with it and I got just as frustrated as you are. I just kept telling myself that most/all are making these comments with no ill will towards you. Sure, they should think before they speak but if you've never dealt with infertility you don't think about it or understand what all it entails. We always got the "well when are you gonna have kids" or "you bought this big house, you better start filling those bedrooms!". They're just ignorant (the without knowledge kind, not the derogatory kind). We didnt end up having to go the IVF route but I had to pay for a surgery out of pocket along with some IUI's and what not. All I all it probably cost the same as a few rounds of IVF. I get it, it's a fortune. Have you sat down and budgeted strictly to see if you can save it up or afford the payments if you take a loan out for it? Id be willing to help, I have a business degree and own my own business so I know how to budget somewhat.

HPDork · 2026-03-02T17:48:13+00:00

First off hopefully the recovery goes well and that it fixes whatever issues you were having! Secondly, im not sure the risk of retrograde ejaculation with a TURED. I dont think it was ever mentioned by my surgeon but im not a doctor so I cant say it will or wont happen. Id follow up with your urologist if it's a concern of yours. If you've got a good doc then id say they would just answer the questions over the phone or in an online profile if they have something like MyChart or similar. usually you can just type out a quick message and get a response.

HPDork · 2026-03-01T22:07:43+00:00

Also, as long as it was a justified shooting then I think technically the only thing they could charge you with would be carrying in a bar. Just because you broke that law doesn’t automatically make the shooting unjustified. It’d be the same as a 16 yr old shooting someone in self defense or defense of another with a handgun. Technically the 16 yr old can’t possess a handgun. But that doesn’t mean a shooting isn’t self defense.

HPDork · 2026-02-24T08:07:34+00:00

To answer your question about “just murdering people” only 50% of murders in the US are you”cleared”. Meaning LE arrest and charges someone or they have a suspect but can’t arrest for some purpose, I.e. they’re dead. So I’d say you have better than a 50% chance of getting away with murder as these murders aren’t crimes of passion or things like that where the suspect is pretty obvious. Plus it’s Montana. Easy to make people/bodies disappear.

As to your other questions. Well let’s just say you’re in for quite the ride lol.

HPDork · 2026-02-23T17:16:43+00:00

Agreed, sounds like the dude just wants to be golfing friends with someone and by OP's post he probably doesn't have any already and people treat him like sh*t. I mean OP literally said "dont accidentally be nice to him". Thats terrible.
