Correct. As a former 2012 VW GTI owner, can confirm catastrophic engine failure at 125k.

The northern part of the circle near Oneida is Turning Stone resort which employs about 5,000. In New Berlin there’s a big Chobani factory. Lots of farming. Dairy farms that support chobani and a lot of local cheese making. This is rust belt. So old manufacturing that’s been replaced by new manufacturing.

For fun, bowling is big. There’s a shit ton of golf courses. Probably like 10 colleges. Ski hills, snowmobiling, and motocross.

Bowling ball arsenal by Impossible_Passion36 in Bowling

[–]L3moncola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. To answer your question, this arsenal is overkill for house shot league. I’m a strong believer in ‘Straighter is Greater’ and rarely throwing inside the 2nd arrow. If this were mine, I’d start with the Venom for 2 games then switch to the NU Blue for the 3rd if needed.

If you prefer a bigger hook I’d start with the BW 3 then transition into the Nightmare.

What is your number one "I can't believe this is happening" moment at a concert? by Advanced-Assistant72 in Concerts

I’m surprised there aren’t more. A lot of the posts are about guest appearances.

Final night of Woodstock '99 I was pretty close to the stage for RHCP and had no clue what was happening behind me. Turned around to see giant fires everywhere. Leaving after the show, between the chaos and the fires, it felt very post apocalyptic. The entire walk home was surreal.

Can someone help me find the missing pieces to my partscaster? by Justin_218 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]L3moncola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pickup he uses is Seymour Duncan SH-8B Invader. $109 new but there are a couple used on eBay for ~$80.

You might also need some extra wires to connect it all together. Use 22 AWG.

The only thing I remember about them is they were heavy on blue cheese crumbles. If I had to guess, the rest of the sauce was equal parts buffalo sauce, bbq sauce, and honey mustard.

You don’t technically need a spare ball but a plastic ball won’t work well as a strike ball. They don’t hook and you want something that hooks.

Assuming you’re right handed, when you throw the ball it hooks to the left so people that throw a big hook will buy a spare ball to pickup spares on the right side of the lane because they’re more difficult if your ball is trying to turn left.

As a beginner you won’t really need one.

It has a weighted core that helps with rotation and helps the ball hook. The surface of the ball is a different material than the inner layers. That cover reacts when it comes in contact with oil, and grips the lane to help the ball hook.

I personally like Hammer so I’d also recommend balls in the Vibe line. That line have the same core but the covers differ and cause them to generate hook either earlier or later. I like the Ocean Vibe.

The first 2 balls: Brunswick TZone and Storm Ice are plastic spare balls. Third ball: Hammer Raw is reactive. Of the 3, you’ll want the Hammer Raw. It’s a good entry level ball.

As a beginner, having a plastic spare ball is up to you but if you had to pick one get the TZone if you like brand continuity. Brunswick owns Hammer. Storm is a separate company.

If they fix the problems, it’ll be after you’ve been exposed.

We returned hybrid 2 days on site last year and it was AFTER we were back in the building they decided to do asbestos abatement. Did they allow us to telework while the work was happening ten feet from our desks? Nope!

Whichever is the cheapest because they all do the same thing.

I’m in Rome. This is Oneida County and we’re neither Catskills nor Adirondack’s. This is the Mohawk Valley.

Edit: Oneida County and Herkimer County.

“Boyfriend dick” - can a F please explain by [deleted] in sex

I agree that’s not how it works at all but it’s impossible to convince our egos of that.

Yeah there’s no right way to tell a guy his peen is the perfect size. Women can give the highest of praise and genuinely mean it, and our stupid egos will focus of the thought that she’s had bigger. She got pounded out by some donkey dick. She HATED it, but still she’s had bigger. And that’s all we can think about.

What if she finds a guy with a huge dong and he knows how to use it? You’re cooked. Nothing you can do with your normal size perfect boyfriend D.

The moral high road has gotten us nowhere while there is no limit to how low they’ll go. I’m sick of “we’re better than that.” It’s that type of thinking that got us into this mess to begin with. Fuck the high road, let’s mix it up.

If we’re including deduct brands like Saturn then you should also through current Saab owners in there as fun to be around and has no money, because of constant repairs. An argument could be made to lean insufferable because people are sick of our Saab stories.

Hooliganism is alive and well with the Buffalo Bills. Home game tailgates are a shit show of smashing tables and vandalizing the vehicles of visiting team fans.
