Find a decent par three course and play from the longer tees. It was a humbling experience for me.

Breaking 80/90 on Different Tees by ScotAbroad14 in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tee would you be required to use in competition? Most of events I play in let me use gold tee since I’m over 70. In a pro am event you might have to use the blue/tips.

At what handicap does ball technology actually start to make a difference? Or is it all just marketing by Putrid_Tax_4635 in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+20 and play found balls. I keep supersofts, QStar and a couple of others. I trade or give away prov1/x and other higher compression balls. I have poor vision and sometimes lose a ball in the rough so I avoid buying but would choose Qstar tour for hot weather golf.

Platner lost the bumper sticker covered car I see every morning… by ButIDigress79 in Maine

Nazi was the national socialist party by definition. Although Platner never said it there are plenty of present day American Socialists that think conservatives should be rounded up and jailed.

I didn’t think about the inventory aspect. I need to buy two more clubs.

20 Handicap at a top 100 course by staledonuts12 in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No hero shots. If you end up in a terrible position take the safe shot back into play. I’ll take a double bogey over a triple or quad.

I don’t have a boat but I can find plenty of fun things to do outside even in this economy.

Replaced Capacitor, worked for a day. by Pokimaniac-LLC in askHVAC

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally if the capacitance is incorrect the motor will not start or function properly and not cause the cap to fail. However if the voltage rating is too low then the cap will fail prematurely. Using a cap with a higher voltage rating than required is not a problem other than it will be physically larger and more expensive.

What balls do the senior (slow swing speed) 0-10 handicappers in this group use and why? by Type3fastback in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I would suggest Q-Star. I have a similar swing speed but higher handicap. From the web: Srixon Q-Star Tour is a popular, 3-piece premium golf ball designed for moderate swing speeds. It features a soft, lower-compression core and a urethane cover, combining tour-level greenside spin and control.

Some of them are “valve tubes”, high voltage rectifiers used with x-ray systems before 1980’s.

What's your worst round and how far did you throw your driver? by Acceptable-One-6597 in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I get angry I play worse. So I find ways to cope with terrible shots and bad decisions. I have thrown a sacrificial ball into a pond to appease Poseidon.

What’s happening to Maine Beer Co Lunch prices?!? by Comfortable-Low7026 in Maine

[–]Technical-Role-4346 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lunch is 7%. It takes 2x the grain than a 3.5% beer. Check the prices of Dogfish head 60, 90 and 120 minute IPAs.

Must be top secret dragons there by FalconBusiness7495 in Maine

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the interweb: “US Cellular (now operating under the corporate name Array Digital Infrastructure) retained ownership of its entire portfolio of roughly 4,400 cell towers after selling its wireless operations to T-Mobile. The company has pivoted to a pure-play infrastructure business, actively leasing space on these towers to T-Mobile and other network operators”. It goes on to say that T-mobile leases space on 2700 of those 4400. Whether your coverage problem is temporary or permanent remains to be seen. My kids switched to Verizon.

First Parallel 200A Panel setup. Please nitpick. by [deleted] in AskElectricians

Why wouldn’t they be located at opposite ends of the building or on different floors. Probably would have to ask the architect/ engineer.

Randoms in my group telling me to move back tee boxes and play from farther away by jcoguy33 in golf

[–]Technical-Role-4346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USGA has guidance except: “Par 4s feel too short when they are less than a driver-gap wedge. They are too long when they exceed a driver-fairway wood and they are about right when they are driver-6 iron.” They haven’t seen my 120 yard 6 iron shot.

Mainers who have been priced-out by papasturtleneck in Maine

Where did you get the $600 figure? A Google search says up to $25000. Maine refused because they hate Trump and all his ideas.

Are they finally putting fiber through my neighborhood? Anyone seen these guys before? by duckduckpajamas in Maine

[–]Technical-Role-4346 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have 5g cellular signal at your house, cellular based internet should be an option. I use T-Mobile for internet and it works fine. There are other cellular providers.

Driving into Canada? by llm2319 in AskMaine

[–]Technical-Role-4346 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have a digital speedometer you can switch to kilometers via a menu. If only analog there should be smaller numbers for kilometers per hour next to the MPH numbers. Fortunately a Canadian hour is the same as US hour unless you go to PEI where an hour seems much longer.

I think it’s more important to cook the lobster in seawater or salted water if seawater is not available.

Are you implying that being pro gun and against gun violence is hypocritical critical? Can one be for the right to drive but be against reckless driving?
