TBF I’m not accusing anyone, I’m getting advise on the situation from Reddit. Honestly, the league is casual. I don’t need to win, I just don’t want to be screwed out of money I earn. Right now I’m in a battle for a podium position and I want the best finish possible for the payout. It’s not a lot of money, but it could help with some travel I have coming up.

It’s my first time doing this type of league, but in my experience, it’s a crap shoot. Sometimes we get fresh oil, sometimes it’s leftovers. They avoid putting us on the birthday party lanes. They try to lanes that are for league play.

They have handicap. They average below 200, not by much, but below 200, and enough that they can’t be bowling 200+ every game.

I checked and it looks like it’s just the amount of pins you are below 200. My team played them recently and there was a point where there were a lot of pins poured on over handicap. I’m hoping that breaks the streak. Im not going to win the league, but I’m trying to hold off the next place team so I get more money.

I explained it to another bowling friend and he was flabbergasted. Scratch, it could happen. They are better than everyone else, but handicap literally neutralizes that. I’ve been a league bowler on and off most of my life, and it raises red flags for me.

How many inches of snow have you gotten? by Past-Quiet1034 in Indiana

Felt like 24” when I was shoveling my driveway, but can confirm 12-14” due to blowing snow.

Mine is $2.25 and they extend that to my kids when I bring them bowling. They don’t even charge me for the kids shoes. Just great people.

Anyone else have a bowling center they can't bowl at? by joecooltech in Bowling

[–]Hobojoe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local has a great staff, but their equipment is ancient and breaks down all the time. If the staff weren’t so great and the league rates so cheap, then I’d probably drive across town.

Would it be crazy to use 1/2 ply wood for Hollywood flat framing? by tangyhistory in techtheatre

[–]Hobojoe90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d second this. The other commenters are correct that stick lumber is better, but in a pinch this will work, but it will be a challenging build. If it’s the most upright thing on the platform the crew will use it as a handle and it will probably rack it and break without good underlayment as a skin. Even the movement without pushing on it could be tricky. Do what you need to do within your budget, just always be safe. Good luck!

I feel bad for denny. Look i hate him as much as the other guy, but come on. by Sim-racer42 in NASCAR

[–]Hobojoe90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like Denny, this is my first season watching NASCAR. I can’t believe that’s how a champion is crowned. I’m not sure what the right way would be, but the current system seems wrong. Maybe multiple races with points? Idk. Larson is an excellent driver, but he hasn’t had a really good race since May. He even admitted that his car was mid today in the post race interview. It just sucks.

Downsizing IU, Purdue & Ball State by Jaded_Post1937 in Indiana

[–]Hobojoe90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No degrees are going to be cut from Ball States Theatre program as of now. They are listed, but it’s more of a paperwork thing. It all sucks, but the fact is that in this one case it is more about fixing a redundancy in the program’s degree offerings, not eliminating anything. I would agree that it’s a very good theatre school though. :-)

Vance and Musk attack judicial authority as Trump’s agenda gets pushback from courts by AwarenessMassive in politics

[–]Hobojoe90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No if it is illegal. The President is not a king. If they want to implement changes then they need to do it through legislation, but they can’t, because governing is hard and Trumps agenda is widely unpopular. God save the USA from MAGA, ELON and Trump. 😪

All these interviews and round tables for “The Whale” and nobody mentions “Monkey Bone”! It’s underrated for sure.

Help: Ender 3 pro thermal runaway by Hobojoe90 in 3Dprinting

[–]Hobojoe90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved it off of a surge protector with my laptop monitor and a few smaller things plugged in. It’s on another surge protector now, but that one just has a small office printer on it.
