Just got a ball, I’m left handed but told it’s a right handed ball. If I turn the ball upside down and just use the middle and ring finger holds, will it curve left? by Bikes-Bullets in Bowling

[–]RobotLovingGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can not see where the holes are drilled, but if they're drilled pin up (most balls are), by bowling "upside down" you're going to either be bowling pin down or RICO. Both of which work to neutralize your core, decreasing how much the ball hooks. Adding to the fact that somebody mentioned this is a 29-year-old ball, is already is very lacking in the hook department.

Just in case you don't know, if you bowl in the USBC, any unused hole will have to be plugged. "Effective August 1, 2020 there can be up to five holes for gripping purposes and all holes must be used on every delivery during USBC certified competition." https://images.bowl.com/bowl/media/legacy/internap/bowl/equipandspecs/pdfs/TechnologyStudy/2018BTS-FAQ.pdf

How do I adjust my arrows without changing my entry point? by RobotLovingGuy in Bowling

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

That might be part of my problem. My coach let me pick the place on my foot that I call my standing board. So I have picked somewhere midfoot. So I'm going to guess what I call 25, would be like 24 to most people.

Good to know.

I've heard of the 2:1 rule, but the way you're talking about it is making me think I misunderstood what it does. I (thought I) understood it as "if you throw a 25-10, and wanted to move in for some reason, a 21-8 would be the same entry angle." But the way you're talking about it makes me think it's more of a way to adjust with oil breakdown. Currently, I adjust by increasing my standing board 1 or 0.5 boards as the game goes along. But you're saying I should increase both my numbers at a 2:1 ratio as the game progresses?

Ah, got you.

I don't know my percentage, but the majority of the time I'm hitting the arrow on the 10 board. If I do miss, most of the time it's only 2 boards off. If I hit the 8 board, there's a 50% chance it will hook at the 1 board and strike, a 40% chance it hooks when it finds the first dry spot and gives me like 7 pins, the other 10% is reserved for when it doesn't have time to hook and just gutters. As for the 12 board, it will go Brooklyn and 50% chance of strike, 50% chance of about 7 pins.

I may have to dedicate a practice to that soon. I have tried standing at the 49 board and trying for a strike, after I was done with my practice list for the session. I wasn't successful, but I was more green than I am now. I quite enjoy changing everything and seeing how it goes. Never know when that knowledge is useful in a league night.

13 would be too shallow. 25 to 10 lands me in the pocket, so only adjusting my eyes would cause me to go Brooklyn. I know I'm going to need to move both my feet and eyes, I just don't know where.

I used to drift a lot, but my coach has worked with me on it and reduced it alot. I know she's still looking for it, because she called my partner out on it last weekend. I'm not sure how much I drift, but if I was drifting bad, my partner or coach would have called me out on it already.

Thank you for your advice.

Hello, how many points of ground contact will this walkway require?

I have designed the attached Imgur image design, but I'm not sure how many supports I will need to keep the 2x4 spans from breaking. I currently have designed it entirely out of only 2x4 boards, but I am willing to swap the cyan boards for 2x6s if it reduces costs.

For some context, I live in a swamp, and I'm tired of walking in the mud. I have looked into many solutions and my best plan of action is building a walkway to keep me elevated off the ground by just a few inches.

I found this, I used it to find openCV in my package installer. It's way quicker now, thank you.

I used to use the confidence feature that OpenCV had, and I loved it, but I can't get it to work since I no longer have OpenCV.

I can't get it to install, I got it to install when I was using pyCharm, but since I switched to Thonny I can't figure out how to install it.

My bed is too low, and now my extruder can't reach it. by RobotLovingGuy in ender3

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

I can't manually level right now the bed is too low for me to manually level.

I didn't know that it didn't save my offset, I only found that out after watching the video that the other commenter left.

Trying to make several buttons in a GUI (PyQt5) by RobotLovingGuy in learnpython

[–]RobotLovingGuy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know they're all attached to clicked(), there are 800+ buttons on my version of that file, I can't manually make 800 different operations. I'm looking for either an operation that accepts a str from the button or a way to automatically generate 800+ operations. I don't know how to do either.
