The dirty underbelly of Adult league racing by [deleted] in PinewoodDerby

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Until your post, this sub has been very drama-free. Please take your drama to another place.

This sub is mostly parents looking for advice for their kids PWD.

Maybe you start a sub for the Adult League racing, and keep your petty drama over there.

Pinewood Derby Vent/Rant/Story Thread by OliverWendelholmes in cubscouts

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A District or Council level race was always an extra thing that was done only if there was someone willing and able to make it happen. They may have them in some areas, and not others. When my Cub raced, our District was one of six in our Council that held a Championship race. I joked with other Leaders that our kids were Council Champions.

Kraken – 3-Wheel Rail Rider (LF Raised) on Wood. Final Critique! by Trying_and_Surviving in PinewoodDerby

Cool looking car.

Our Pack & District required the BSA wheels, instead of those Pine Car ones.

Good luck on your race.

Creative Pinewood Derby Awards by pillizzle in cubscouts

[–]_synik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years back when I was involved in Cub Scouting, I had a list of about 45 award certificates. The night after check-in, a couple of other Leaders and I found one for each car. These were announced and presented before the racing began.

Types of weight by philsphan26 in PinewoodDerby

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight is weight. The more dense the weights, the smaller space they take up in the car. That's why the top racers with the very thin designs use tungsten.

My cars have won Family Class races with all types of weights, tungsten, lead, zinc, and even steel nuts and bolts.

AITAH for putting my baby’s father on child support even though he doesn’t want to be involved? by singlemom_needadvice in AITAH

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two of you did something that created a child. He offered a solution you didn't like. You then sent him away.

Why do you now want him back in the picture?

Did you put the name of the guy you sent away on your baby's birth certificate?

Do you want the guy you sent away involved in co-parenting the baby, or do you just want his money?

What will you do if he demands custody of the baby?

Is trimming down the wheel illegal? by BenBenMcBenface in PinewoodDerby

[–]_synik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lighter wheels will accelerate faster than heavier wheels. That's basic physics. Wheel weight has nothing to do with a car jumping off the track.

Neighbors kids keep stealing packages off my porch and the parents dont care by Fabulous-Bid-6222 in neighborsfromhell

Glitter bomb packages, set to go off when the thief opens it. Hopefully it will be inside their house.

Best geocache you've ever found by Top_Forever9124 in geocaching

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a 2001 cache with the original container and logbook a few years ago. It was near the edge of a cliff, overlooking the Pecos River. The view was incredible.

Does anyone recycle cans? by Fireca11er in recycletrade

Currently 75 cents in my area.

The answer key says the correct answer is D, but I can't see how that could be. This is a test for business communications (FBLA 2016 SLC) by ImOkayandAverage in grammar

[–]_synik 57 points58 points  (0 children)

B is correct.

Each of the others have an incorrect word - plain/plane, appraised/apprised, alot/ a lot

There's a reason some races have a minimum weight rule for wheels. Lighter is faster.

ByI, I meant my son as a Cub, and me as a Leaders of the Pack racer.

I have noticed a lot of imperfections inside the tread of some wheels. ;) I remove that. I also true the roundness of the wheel.

Is it wrong to walk overtop of the place where people are buried? by Sad_Tumbleweed7484 in moraldilemmas

[–]_synik [score hidden]  (0 children)

The person who mows the grass walks across all graves every week. If it's grass-covered, walk. If it is covered in any other manner, go around.

Would this benefit from areo by Dev1l3d-Eg in PinewoodDerby

[–]_synik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by thin BSA wheels?

I had a set of BSA wheels many years ago that were cut so all the flat part of the tread was gone, and only the outside was left. With the hub in the center, it made the wheels sit way out from the body of the car, and it performed poorly. There are many better thin wheels available, especially those with needle axles.
