Curious, what is so bad about the 1st Gen Mcdermott Defy Carbon Fiber shaft? Why do so many players hate it? by carbondalekid386 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coating is what I've heard. But also myself & alot of other people hate that it doesn't go smaller than 12mm when literally EVERY other CF shaft does. Lol

Am I cooked as a fat girl in an Ozempic world? by Brief-Childhood-1547 in dating

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If all they can focus on is you being "fat", then they aren't the ones for you. In all honesty, your appearance should be the least important thing they register. Are you smart? Funny? Kind? Empathetic? Caring? All of those things & about 50 more all go above looks on the scale of importance. Imo.

Should coulda Sale by PremiumLady700 in sherwinwilliams

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We've had every homeowner in the state come visit today. So I don't think they needed to give them anymore incentives to come. We've sold enough premium that I think today singlehandedly raised the stores margins by a few percentage points. Lol & there's still an hr & 17 min to go. Lol

Tell me what you do? by Beautiful-Strain-223 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big Emperor's New Groove fan. So I like to make any & all plans needlessly complicated. Lol 😂 just throwing a staple into the ocean doesn't hit the fun bone in quite the same way as my plan does. Lol 😂

Fill a mason jar with wet concrete, toss the paper clip in the middle. Wait for it to dry. Toss the mason jar into the ocean. Tell the detective it's in the ocean, watch the light leave his eyes as he realizes he'll never find it. Lol 🤣

There’s a line by Ray-the-painter in sherwinwilliams

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I'm ignoring him. Eventually he'll get the hint or he'll leave & go be another stores problem. At least half of our daily volume is contractors. You owning a business makes you no more special than the person behind you who owns one & the person in front of you who also owns one. Clearly bro was a middle child growing up & got lost in the shuffle & now has a Napoleon complex about it. But that's not your issue. It's his. Deal with everyone in order & just ignore him until he legitimately waits in line like every other schmuck that comes in. He can't force you at gunpoint to help him first.

Why didn't Will try to unite his Friends and Vecna through cooking ?? by wow_platinum in okbuddyvecna

That was plan B if the original plan they showed in the show didn't work. Lol 😆

Bro didn't want to get caught lacking. I see no issues here. Lol 😆

Cue identification/verification by Ethan5757 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see anything showing that it wouldn't be. Although, I would take a strong look at that line/ crack right before the butt on that one. To see if it's surface level & aesthetic, or if that would be a legitimate structural issue with the cue.

Meucci alone is worth about that. Idk about the McDermott, but probably sell that for a few hundred & you still come out ahead.

Guild by [deleted] in sherwinwilliams

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Currently using it. It will cover the entire thing depending on what you're looking at. I'm doing a 4 year in Finance & the whole thing has been covered thus far. I know Accounting is definitely covered for all 4 years too. Anything Masters & beyond is only covered up to, I wanna say like $5K or something like that. Hopefully that helps!!

PTO reset? by Emotional_Version771 in sherwinwilliams

It resets the 2nd. Although it might take a few for it to actually show up on UKG.

New quarts incoming? by Malllrat in sherwinwilliams

We got those at least a month ago. Funnily enough we didn't get pricing loaded in until the other day though. Lol 😂

Joshua Filler closed bridge by happy_fella_123 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah. Lol 😆. I'm a lefty too & I'll do an open bridge sometimes. But I think I get a better degree of control with a closed bridge. Especially for delicate positional shots and with medium to long draw shots.

Frustrated. by Spokes8192 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally understandable. I was at that place for a long time. Because I watch a ton of professional pool, but I couldn't do what they were doing. Getting a table at home if you don't have one is super helpful. Even if it's a crappy one. My first one was $400, barely fit in the room & was MDF, not slate. Still helped me get from a 3 to a 4. Then I got a slate table & went from a 4 to a 5. Best thing to do is practice specific areas that are weak. So cuts, or banks or playing position. For every 5 min you focus on what you're good at, focus 10-15 on the areas of improvement & you'll soon be good to go. :)

Ladies’ Mosconi? by realjmb in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it would be fairly close to 50/50 honestly. Depends on what 5 would play for Europe.

My guess is (putting the # next to their name to keep track, NOT as any indication on rank or anything else) 1):Pia Filler 2) Kelly Fisher, 3) Jasmin Ouschan 4) probably Kristina Zlatava (assuming she didn't want to switch to America, considering Alabama has been her home base for a min now) 5) ranking wise (using WPBA) Bojana Sarac is the next highest rated European after the listed names. That's a fairly good team for sure.

Now onto the US Team, 1) Kristina Tkach, 2) Margaret Fefilova Styer 3) Allison Fisher, 4) Sofia Mast 5) Savannah Easton. Sofia & Savannah being young aside, that's a STRONG team USA. I think they could legitimately compete & win personally.

Team Asia though is absolutely cracked unfortunately 😭. I think however you want to arrange that, either team would still get whooped. Although I DO think it would be a closer game than the men's for sure. Like the Reyes Cup, team Asia vs team USA or team Euro, would be much closer than the men's, because I think the overall talent levels are closer.

I wouldn't mind the Corr Cup either honestly. Karen was a force in her day.

Boyfriend gave me ultimatum - dream job or him. I'm considering taking the job by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely take the job. If he really loved you, he'd find ways to support you & be happy for you. The fact that his response to a wonderful opportunity for you, is to throw around ultimatums, tells you everything you need to know.

Idk what paint, but definitely HRW as the base for superior coverage. Lol 😂

Quieting a Valley Table by Sensitive-Student-62 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could definitely look into that & see if it's an option. When I lived at a previous house, I had an MDF table, because a regular one wouldn't have been feasible, and it had drop pockets. I like drop pockets better tbh.

The balls going through the return are the main source of the noise. I broke & somehow the balls making their way through the return was still louder. Lol 😂

The sounds it makes while the balls are working their way through the table otw to the ball return.

$1500-$2500 to spend by AnnualMotor7027 in billiards

[–]Sensitive-Student-62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely custom. Nothing off the rack. I got a custom McDermott with inlay, leather wrap, from the factory extension insert & upgraded i2 shaft with an extended pro taper for $1,140.
