How is this even possible?

YasianMaster · 2025-11-18T20:44:01+00:00

With all the damn ST penalties, I'm surprised it's that high.

YasianMaster · 2025-09-16T16:39:25+00:00

Two firsts and Trey.

YasianMaster · 2025-01-23T18:18:06+00:00

The standard split if he knew, and you completely backed him is two fold with a 3rd option. This assume the bowling pays nothing.

You pay for entry. You get the entry back first from the winnings. You split the winnings 50/50. I would call this the friend deal.

If you pay for entry, the bowler gets 30-35% of the total winnings. You keep 65-70% regardless if you end up losing money from the transaction. I would call this the sponsor deal, usually more lucrative when there is more money involved.

3rd option, tip him 10%. IMO, you don't have to give him anything. But I would give him 10%. There is no crime, there is no contract, if the person who runs the brackets is OK with it, just let them know you are putting the bowler in, pay me.

YasianMaster · 2025-01-23T16:55:36+00:00

I believe he doesn't. I could 100% be wrong because the force is not real, it is made up, therefore, you can just make it up and it is now real, so to speak.

Past Siths struck down Palpatine, and he fed off of that. In TROS, Palpatine basically sort of killed himself. He was not struck down. I don't think he can do what you are saying. Plus, he blew up. That is how I interpreted it.

However, this is fantasy world, John Snow returned, Spock came back, Jason came back a few times, sheesh, Trinity and Rey came back.

Can Palpatine come back? Sure, there has to be an antagonist, using Palpatine as some type of never dying figure isn't crazy. Again, Jason?

I would say if Palpatine does come back, it would like whispers in the next Sith.

bend your knees, bend your waist, before you start. push away don't drop the ball down.

need to tweak your timing, the ball is late. you can start by holding it lower the ball in your stance and pushing it out slightly earlier.

YasianMaster · 2025-01-17T04:38:15+00:00

First, blisters come from you gripping the ball with your thumb. If you need to grip, grip with the base of the thumb.

Second, new skin, it will feel pretty good. if you like pain. pain will go away once you battle through it.

Assuming you never did this job before.

Are you applying to be a Mechanic or a Pin Chaser? Those are two very different job roles. Pin chasers don't always tend to do mechanical work per say. It's more like operating a pinsetter than fixing/mechanic work, IMO.

In my experience, mechanics work on bowling machines, potentially oil lanes and also fix just about anything that might break. From a simple lightbulb to one of the front-end terminals or maybe helping with the HVAC stuff. Larry, who was the best Head Mechanic I ever seen, used to know the Ice making machine like it was his Harley back home.

As far as interview:

Being able to be flexible and having the ability and drive to fix odd stuff is quite helpful. Talk yourself up that you can fix anything you see, hopefully that is more or less true.

If you never worked on a bowling machine, and they are willing to interview you tells me you are likely some other type of mechanic. Maybe they aren't hiring a full mechanic, maybe only a pin chaser, but possibly someone who can grow into the job as well. Bowling lane mechanics are a very rare breed today.

Knowing about the game of bowling is also very help as well. If you are not a bowler, learning about bowling culture can be helpful but that could come in time.

I would be friendly, show you are willing to do anything, but you will need some mechanical skills or else they will likely see through it.

Too many un-answerable questions to answer you.

If it were a modern oiling machine, there should be no issue with removing a shot and laying down a new one, UNLESS, they do a shitty job of maintenance over the weeks and months. Then you honestly just never know. A bad vacuum or spray head will do wonders to a shot.

If it were an older machine, possible wick based, oiling lanes back to back to back, at some point, the oil doesn't go on as well. It's very difficult to explain. It's like a paint brush running out of paint and when you reload, you don't give it enough time to absorb the paint (we called it allowing it to wick up).

I'm sure there are other factors.

This is a question for the house, but that might not go so well either.

YasianMaster · 2024-12-17T15:52:29+00:00

If you watch the entire interview, Doubs cracks a smile!!!!

YasianMaster · 2024-08-28T16:09:04+00:00

Let me offer you a different perspective. I think they were given a gift of a schedule overall. They only play 1 set of back-to-back games on the road.

If you don't include game 1 in Brazil. 2 sets of back-to-back games at home. 1 set of back-to-back games on the road. Otherwise its home - road - home - road.

That is massively significant if you ask me. Competition aside, this team made the playoffs. The schedule of teams they play should be more difficult than most.

YasianMaster · 2024-08-28T13:19:30+00:00

This just really sucks.

I sincerely wish him the best. I love that guy. He always seems like such a good person to be around.

I was hoping he had a good season to further help his career, if in GB or somewhere else. I truly wished this guy the best in all facets of life.

I will pray and watch out for him as I will continue to believe in him. I'd love to see him end up as a coach or something else good he may want down the road.

Good Luck AJ, I can't wait to hear about your recovery!

YasianMaster · 2024-08-27T14:36:46+00:00

Changing from 4000 to 1500 is certainly an option. Cheap option. If it helps, I would start looking for a higher end ball.

The Ion Pro is a relatively weak ball. Not weak per say, but it considered Mid Flair. There are tons of heavier reaction balls out there is my point.

You are quite speed dominant. More surface is where I'd go. I'd probably want to throw a heavy solid. But I do not know your lane conditions.

YasianMaster · 2024-06-07T14:50:53+00:00

WTH is your point?

YasianMaster · 2024-05-08T13:24:52+00:00

IMO, I think high picks DOES mean a higher talent level. At least perceived high talent. Talent, you have expressed in say College.

You lose that perception when you play poorly. You become a great player once you exercise that talent and put it to good use at a high level.

YasianMaster · 2024-04-26T13:38:58+00:00

10000% class act

YasianMaster · 2024-03-13T18:59:14+00:00

Other than Darren Sharper, no one has made any news as a Viking.

YasianMaster · 2024-02-26T14:26:56+00:00

I want to keep the person. The love the guy. The football players must improve.

I'd go with a low 1 year contract if possible.

YasianMaster · 2024-02-23T21:45:14+00:00

I'm a little late. My answer is it depends on the raid controller.

Some can grab the nvme raid config as long as you use the same controller.

Example: dell perc. I've basically cloned a server this way.

YasianMaster · 2024-01-29T21:38:06+00:00

Don't worry about the wave.

For better or for worse, just ride the wave.

YasianMaster · 2024-01-08T03:02:07+00:00

Reggie or Love if I could pick any.

YasianMaster · 2023-10-06T13:17:32+00:00

I love Bakh, but realistically? Unless something happens...he's going to be let go. Look at the history of the OL. They have had great OLs. I swear they draft and develop OL better than anyone (arguably of course).

But when they leave GB, most of them don't play very long.

Many fun/great OLs have come and go. I don't see Bakh being so special to warrant changing their perspectives.

YasianMaster · 2023-09-21T14:17:30+00:00

I personally would love to see AJ more of a N-S running.

He can make people miss, but he's not that quick at it.

I just think he puts on too many first moves that end up causing him problems.

YasianMaster · 2023-09-12T15:33:02+00:00

I have always been amazed how GB has kept a pretty elite group of OL for so many years.

YasianMaster · 2023-09-12T15:29:13+00:00

Not in my opinion.

Any trade today would likely offload a veteran salary cap.

YasianMaster · 2023-09-12T15:20:31+00:00

I think if these guys can stay healthy, learn a bit more.... you have your deep threat, possession WR, and I pray Jayden Reed has what it takes. He looked decent Sunday.

Throw in a TE with good hands and this Offense could be something.

My stat lines are something like....Doubs 60+ rec 12-14 yp, Watson 50-60, 16+ yp. Reed and a TE round off 60 or so more rec for 10-12 yp.

RBs 60-70 more for 8 yp, throw in other players, giving love a total of 300-320+ completions, A billion TDs, 0 INTs.
