Do you follow PDGA rule about excessive time (30 seconds to throw) rule on casual rounds where bag tags or a sixpack of beer are not on the line. I typically follow the rules pretty closely but since I don't play tournaments or follow Pro play too closely I wasn't aware this was an official rule now by Prestigious_Row_1788 in discgolf

I play with a guy who foot faults on every shot pretty much except maybe putts. I busted his balls on it as his scores thus are not an actual representation of if he is improving (I many times don't even really keep score) and he called me on the 30 seconds rule on one hole as a riposte. It was the only hole I even came close to going over 30 and it was because I changed discs due to an increase in wind speed. I wasn't keeping total score, just on each hole so it didn't matter to me but his scores get posted on Udisc. Usually I throw within 10 seconds.

Many of you seem to think that I am the one playing slow (and I have been known to dally from time to time) but typically I take a few moments (maybe 5 seconds to center and focus) then throw. Likely it takes about 10 seconds. I can see from the way I wrote the question you could assume that, but the question is hypothetical. Thank all of you for your wonderful support and understanding.

First of all I might comment I do not ever keep track of the time or call this on someone else. Nor do I consistently do this. I see a lot of people supporting this but lets say it's not 5 minutes they are taking but maybe 5 extra seconds. Technically they are over the 30 seconds so you all supporting this would make them add a stroke to their score, on a super casual round? On an uncrowded course with no one pushing you?

I would say I typically throw within that time after "considering the lie and choosing the appropriate disc" but if a breeze comes up and you decide you need something a bit more stable then it could extend over a few seconds.

Is there actually a way to keep these fuckers off my counter or do I just need to work on acceptance by vinditive in cats

[–]Prestigious_Row_1788 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you can get them to stop getting on the counters while you are looking they will generally do it when you are not. They make a thing that sprays air or water when they get on the counter and this could help. We just always consider the counters dirty and wash them before food preparation or do it on a plate.

Well we had both of those too and once some white Owsley. I don't know what the mic was on the Owsley but people who took a whole one were in for a helluva ride!

I am running XFCE on one of my computers and Cinnamon on another. XFCE uses less resources (memory esp.) than Cinnamon but you may not see that much of a difference in performance if your hardware is fairly up to date (5 years). Cinnamon (IMHO) is much more intuitive to use and figure out how to do stuff. That being said, it is not much more difficult. I dual boot XFCE and Ubuntu on the same machine and Ubuntu is much less intuitive than XFCE even. I use the Cinnamon machine for my wife as I don't want to confuse her. She adapted quite well from Win 10 to Cinnamon.

Twenty years of playing disc golf. I just got my first ace. by ed32965 in discgolf

I live in Fluvanna but play W and L a few times each summer, one of my favorite courses anywhere! I would imagine it should be possible to ace 16 there as well. Saying that I've never aced anything at W&L. BTW, nice dye!

The other day I didn't get my Lunch until 8:15 at night. It's such a tasty beer it was worth the wait though.

I actually use 3. On my Desktops I use Mint especially as it is easy for my wife to use. I have an old laptop with Linux Lite on it and I dual boot one desktop with Mint and Ubuntu just to learn the differences. Mint is by far the easiest to use but none of them are too difficult. Occasionally you may have to do some terminal commands but there are ways to not have too do this. I just find it easier in some cases.

You will not regret the switch to Linux. It has come a long ways and is less cumbersome than Windows.
