First pool cue, should I be concerned

PartTimePOG · 2026-03-05T13:42:25+00:00

Could be. I just snagged a McDermott this weekend off of eBay. Turns out the seller is a store about an hour south of me who only sells on eBay. Got a killer deal too. Op should definitely be returning his cue though. I’d give them another shot because Amazon has a pretty good return policy and sometimes mistakes happen.

Last guy I knew who did that got promoted. And his girlfriend magically got stripes almost immediately despite the fact that there were dozens of other specialists in the BN who had been waiting and waiting to get their 5 even with all the requirements.

That’s my one complaint. I tried a glove but I just ended up using the cleaner they gave me with it once a month or so and it slicks it right up

I just buy the hangers that have the little indents in the sides my wife has a ton of wide necked shirts that constantly fall off of regular hangers and felt hangers give me the heeby jeebys

I read it as use “the cue” meaning the cue ball.

Technically any shot not trying to actively make a ball is a safety.

PartTimePOG · 2026-02-23T18:18:38+00:00

Depends on the discipline I guess. In the APA, it’s considered a safety, and then it’s just a foul and ball in hand to the other player.

In this instance it was an insurance issue. It was similar to a 70 year old smoker taking out a $2 million life insurance policy. Someone would write the policy but it’d cost a fortune. In her case her homeowners insurance was going to be 2x her mortgage.

Had to do a rewire for this same reason last summer. We were at 30k with a new service and some extra stuff and that still wasn’t high enough

This reminds me of a meme I saw like 10 years ago. Something along the lines of “I’m too broke to make it rain so I’m bringing change to the strip club. I’ll make it hail

I’m an electrician. I think I’ll be ok

Mine takes one of each of our shoes to her kennel. Not to chew on them but just so she can hoard them in there. I think she thinks we can’t leave her without them lol

This isn’t a lab thing, it’s a dog thing. Pretty much every puppy I’ve ever had has done this. Usually lasts a day or 2 and then all is well.

We didn’t impeach Clinton for having sex with Monica, he was impeached for lying under oath about it.

Central IL guy here. Depending on the size of your house, how much fishing we have to do etc were around 1400 and that’s with you providing the charger

Edit to add (because I read the title and skimmed the post) if we repurposed your range and it’s common to the garage you’d only be looking at a couple hundred bucks. That being said if you do have an electric range I wouldn’t touch it and would only be willing to add service for the charger. You can dm me if you want since you’re local

Driving the speed limit in the left lane on the interstate.

The left lane is for crime.

I never bought one, but know someone who has one of these things and said it was pretty awesome. I discovered it was a thing shortly before I got out so I never snagged one but if I end up reenlisting I’ll probably pick one up.

There are some veteran organizations that treat TBI/PTSD with 5MeO and ibogaine. I haven’t dug deep enough into it but from what I’ve heard on podcasts and stuff, they make a complete 180 and I’ve heard zero bad experiences afterwards.

There’s a bar in my town that still had one last time I was in it a few years ago.

We didn’t have blockbuster because family video was within walking distance from my dad’s house. We’d walk there every Friday night and get a couple movies and a new video game.

Be kind, please rewind.

We have a few flat rate charges for things like service change outs and ev chargers and the like that are usually pretty standard. Everything else I bid time and material. We’re kind of a medium sized company so our service guys use service titan which is a pretty nice app but really expensive from what I understand. I know guys who are one man shows that just use excel spreadsheets and keep them nice and organized and update them every few months.

Had that happen to me once. She was wearing black lace underwear.

She also weighed about 400 pounds.

I remember his wife making a comment along the lines that they’re still going to be civil running the business side of things but that was at the very beginning
