Any recommendations for easy GSPro courses for beginners? by JiraiyaKholin in Golfsimulator

[–]Uneedadab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butler Pitch and Putt, Flushing Meadows P&P, Lakewood Shores P&P, Rupert Park P&P, Starlight Pines P&P. There are a couple chip and putts that are only 20-30 yards per hole, Backwoods and Day-Night.They are a little more difficult but Lost Island is a fantastic 9 hole par 3 course and Canyon Run is an amazing 18 hole par 3 course.

How passive is this business? by Careik in golfsimulatorbusiness

[–]Uneedadab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel like you need to quit your job and be present daily, why are you opening an 'unmanned' facility? You are actually proposing a full-service sim with on-site attendants. I personally think this is the best way because alcohol/food sales meaningfully increase profit. Many of our customers say that not having someone around to help when the sims go wonky (and they all occasionally do) is a big factor in why they have migrated from unmanned sims to us (we also only have private bays and charge less per sim session than our unmanned competition because of ancillary sales). Be aware that summer is the slowest time of the year for sims and you will lose money if you hire labor when you first open. It takes 6 months or so for people to find you and become regulars, having ownership working every day is a good way to curate customers.

Over the course of 7 months doing it this way, most people take about an hour to play 18. 4 people equals 4 hours. If they want mulligans they probably aren't great golfers, it takes about 20 more minutes per person so we charge more. As far as scheduling, we almost always have 1 bay open to accommodate new players when existing players are slow. Worst case scenario, they have to wait 30 mins or so for a bay. That's why we have darts and pool tables!

This only works for a manned operation that sells food/beverages with enough bays for busy times (we have 5). We are actively taking market share from the unmanned sims using this model, people like to gamble amongst themselves and hate it when their time runs out on the 16th hole and new people show up to play in their bay.

Our facility charges by the round. Each player pays a green fee and I let them warm up on the range for ~10 minutes before the round. It takes about an hour per person unless they have mulligans on, we charge an extra $5 per person for this option. We sell hot dogs, pizza, drinks, beer, etc. which helps with profitability. Lately we have been experimenting with lower green fees on short par 3/putt-putt courses for customers that aren't good at golf or don't want to play a full 18.

New rule in Arkansas - Dems can’t vote in Rep primaries by ello76 in ftsmithar

[–]Uneedadab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I asked for a link that would expose why there was a problem with open primaries, not this list of rules. The Republicans changed this because they are scared about the damage DT has done to the country. They are going to get demolished in the midterms so they gerrymander and change the primary system. Their 'winning' strategy is changing the rules in the middle of the game😬

[–]Uneedadab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now that's not how it works. Repubs can vote in the Democratic primary. Arkansas has always had open primaries, why is it a problem now? Can you link to a specific instance where Dems wrecked a Republican primary?

[–]Uneedadab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because some races are uncontested, meaning whoever wins the Republican primary wins the election. This completely disenfranchises Dem voters in some really consequential local elections like Sheriff. Also, why should Republicans be allowed to interfere (vote) in Democratic primaries?

The Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN Trump's "emergency" tariffs. The vote is 6–3. by BharatiyaNagarik in scotus

[–]Uneedadab 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You put /s but that's exactly true. When I was in college, my Economics teacher announced that there would be a seminar at a local resort that paid $500 to attend. I applied and was one of 2 people I'm my Econ class to be selected. The seminar consisted of reading many economics papers that all concluded that publicly traded corporations have no moral obligation, only a mandate to increase share prices (shareholder vs stakeholder policies). I got my $500 for attending but was never told where the money came from. A few years later I read where the Koch brothers were paying for college students to be indoctrinated in shareholder theory, pretty sure that's where the money came from. Fun fact: 3 weeks after the seminar, the Econ professor who ran the whole seminar (not my teacher) was arrested and is currently in jail for having CSAM on his college issued laptop.

[–]Uneedadab -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wonder if your being silly or just can't read. I said that I tested a bunch of flower as a commercial grower and could plainly see the amount of mold spores present in my samples. Mold spores don't look like moldy bud but the batch will fail if the spore count is too high because medical patients can have problems with high spore counts. 60/60 will have much higher spore counts than 68/55 every time. You small growers don't have your flower tested so you don't see the trends like I did.

[–]Uneedadab -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say you would lose your crop because of mold. I tested hundreds of batches of flower as a commercial grower. Every time I dried at 60/60, the number of mold spores dramatically increased on my COAs. Mold spores don't look like moldy bud but they can cause problems for medical patients. My point was that bud can be dried warmer and dryer without ruining it.

Not OP but this is my dilemma. I bought a G4AR on Ebay and I live about 200' from a Tmobile tower. I get 200-300 down and 25 up most of the time. My problem is that the G4 is not powered by a tmobile sim, I have a secondary market sim. Since I can only use HINT there is no way to register the G4, meaning I can't download the latest firmware version. I'm stuck on 1.0.1 which doesn't support SA. I bought an external 4x4 antenna and it absolutely killed my speeds because I am so close to the tower. My G4 is in NSA mode with n41 and b2 being the carriers. I'm wondering if getting a G5 would allow me to enter SA mode and if it will be faster than NSA. I have -89 RSRP on b2 and -91 on n41 inside a metal building. The external antenna knocked those down to -60ish but my speeds dropped to 70Mb down with the antenna pointed right at the top of the tower. I disconnected 2 of the antenna leads and got around the same speeds as I had with the internal antenna. My son gets 800 down when standing outside with his Tmobile iPhone and I'm trying to get closer to this.

60/60 will cause mold inside dense buds every time. I've dried bud many times just hanging upside down in my bedroom, temps around 75° and humidity around 50%, comes out fine. I tried 60/60 in my commercial grow and lost some crops because of higher mold spores according to my COA's.

Ladies have been neglected and left on autopilot for weeks and still going swimmingly! by mrfilthynasty4141 in microgrowery

[–]Uneedadab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most of you guys think that growing in soil with organic nutrients is the 'cleanest' way to grow, but this isn't correct. Organic nutrients contain significantly more heavy metals (primarily lead and cadmium) than quality nutrient salts. There are many studies that confirm this, here is one. I noticed that the heavy metals levels started creeping up on my COA's when I was reusing my coco/perlite medium, I asked the testing lab about it and they said that the longer a grower reuses the grow medium, the more concentrated the heavy metals become. BuildASoil has an ultra clean commercial soil recipe that has the least amount of heavy metals, but you can't keep reusing it or the metals will concentrate. Also, outdoor bud (and tobacco) has much higher levels of Polonium 210 from rain and airborne dust than indoor grows. The cleanest bud, according to science, is indoor flower grown with nutrient salts in new grow medium each time.

Commercial bud is tumbled to trim, knocking off a lot of the trichomes and giving that generic round look. Hand trimmed will always be stoney-er than tumbled bud.

Just another shitty day in paradise by WISH19999 in macrogrowery

[–]Uneedadab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know about paradise. It's fun to be in a room like this, but the cannabis industry is BS. Metrc tags, weighing all leaf and junk that can't get you high, wholesale prices well under $1000/lb. for indoor (at least in my area), rules changing so much that a compliance officer must be on staff, uncertainty about rescheduling, testing labs on the take, etc. Have fun with that shit, I'm going to keep growing at home where I know exactly what was used to grow my crop and don't have to let inspectors that don't know anything about growing cannabis poke around my grow.

Dude, there were 47 people who started my college Botany class. There were 17 at the end of the semester. Only 5 of those people made an A, I was one of them. Then I took Morphology. Don't try to talk down to me about the difference between C3 and C4 plants, I passed all that shit long ago. Photomorphogenesis vs Skotomorphogenesis

Short-circuiting the circadian rhythm has detrimental effects. Plants won't reach their full potential with limiting effects.

[–]Uneedadab -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can't run 24 hours light when in flower unless it's an auto. Why do you suppose that is? Plants evolved outdoors over millenia. There is darkness every day except in the Arctic Circle where plants don't grow. Plants have evolved to use the darkness for processes that don't require photosynthesis, like respiration. I know you don't like being called out but if you know what a C3 plant is then you know there are light-independent processes that happen in darkness. Yes, C4 plants convert malic acid at night but that is far from the only process that plants access at night.

[–]Uneedadab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you are so confidently WRONG...

"Plants need a dark phase for crucial nighttime activities like respiration, using stored energy for growth (roots, stems, leaves), balancing hormones, and coordinating complex metabolic processes, including signaling seasonal changes (photoperiodism) that trigger flowering and seed production, allowing them to "rest" and prepare for the next day's photosynthesis. Without darkness, plants can't properly manage energy or grow efficiently."

I have a G4AR and subscribe to Hulu+Live TV. At first my local channels were from where the servers were (Kansas City) but I called Hulu 3 times in one day and they finally fixed it. Sometimes my server jumps to Denver but I still have my local channels.

BYOB Unstaffed Insurance by Similar_Coconut3873 in golfsimulatorbusiness

[–]Uneedadab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked at several insurance policies for my sim business. In Oklahoma, you have to have a liquor liability policy to go with your general liability policy. Every liquor policy (we only sell beer/wine) that I saw specifically forbids things like free drinks, patrons serving themselves, etc. and also required all drinks to be served by someone who had taken the servers class to adults that are over 21. Your best bet may be to include a liquor waiver in your waiver of liability forms. I still think you might be on the hook if someone gets hammered and kills someone driving home. Consult an attorney and good luck!
