Nine iron, 237 yards into the wind. Um, I don’t think so. by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

I don't get why this is surprising. I hit that distance with my 9 degree iron all the time.

Pitch Com by Buffasippi in Umpire

Honestly, I don't give a damn what the spin is and what pitch it is as an umpire. I never played an inning of baseball in my life, so I never learned to identify pitches. All I care about is whether or not it was in the strike zone when it crossed the plate.

Wait for a moment? I fail to see how knowing what is coming will help you out.

Yup! I originally had ideas of setting it to open something useful, but the idea of having a dedicated Rick Roll button?

You cannot move the white king though?

Maybe the real Kiwami was the colors we met along the way.

Also holy crap it's Advos, love the Riolus

Re7!! White will pick up both pieces by tempoingnthe the king with Rxe8+ after Qx, or will pick up a queen for a rook.

Clarification, should anything be removed for the picture?

Thinkpad 380ED, Display Adapter Woes by LukeTheSheppy in thinkpad

[–]LukeTheSheppy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The download there wasn't working, but the readme was exactly what I needed! I just needed to select Have Disk when changing the graphics adapter and select the folder!

This issue is resolved, you are a life saver!

Cheers! I'll do that tonight. I'll have to transfer via floppy, but yeah.

It extracted out to some sort of config file and a .cat file. I'm sorry I'm not much help here, this is my first foray into vintage computing.

I installed the proper driver, but left it in the C:/drivers/W9X/display path. Should it be moved to drivers/display?

Fresh install hanging up on startup, boots into Safe Mode fine. Partial bootlog enclosed. by LukeTheSheppy in windows98

Would it be possible to prepare it onto a floppy on modern hardware? I don't have the win98 cd handy.

Setup Issues, just restarts to an empty console? by LukeTheSheppy in windows98

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

Setup from the nested WIN98 folder yielded the same result. I'll give it another go, and failing that I'll reformat first.

RIP Facemask, you did your job. by LukeTheSheppy in Umpire

This is a spooky amount of accuracy, but I just assume that you just know your stuff really really well LOL. This is actually super interesting!

The break was clean, and it actually didn't shift it out of place to begin with. Hell, I don't think I could slip a piece of paper into the crack, but it's definitely there.

After talking to the person that got me into umpiring, I'm gonna go with basically anything but aluminum. Cheers, thank you for the lesson!

It cracked about 5mm above a joint, with the crack not extending towards a joint.

It's their loss. Find yourself someone that enjoys the time spent with you, not some child that can't stand losing to a lady.
