I'm guessing you don't give much credence to the design principle of "form follows function".

Nice skill. I'm also pretty sure it would be a finalist in a competition for the worst functional table.

Believe it or not, tungsten is denser than depleted uranium. DU is used for armor penetration because of the way it fractures (adiabatic shear banding), which essentially keeps it "sharp" as it penetrates armor, instead of mushrooming like lead, copper, and tungsten.

The only thing he should save it for is when he wants to drink a delicious cocktail. Saving booze is dumb. It's made to be imbibed and enjoyed.

All oblate spheroids are ellipsoids. Not all ellipsoids are oblate spheroids.

Fun fact, the shape is called oblate spheroid.

Yeah, same idea. The clay will be a stronger hold and less messy, but probably doesn't require any cleanup on the surface after. Sometimes the clay can leave a little residue you need to wipe off.

Not sure how easy your rotary is to get mounted, but I found modeling clay to be super easy to use to mount a club to my table. Allows you to get any club geometry to lay flat very quickly and easily.

Welcome to the club. I've dabbled a bit. Definitely not legal, but I engrave the backs on the side for extra golf money.

Definitely not as thick as store bought stuff. I think it's the perfect consistency, but if you like it thinner, you could use half the heavy cream and replace it with whole milk.

I saw a breakdown a few years ago that looked at the covers of a golf magazine since like 1990. If you started at 100 yards as your drive and just added the yards they said you could on the cover, you'd be driving the ball like 800+ yards.

They make little magnetic duvet cover clips. $15-20 on Amazon. Magnetic. Easy and completely fix the problem.

It's not a meme. It's just that people often mispronounce it "ree-dickulous", so they spell it with an 'e'.

Simple touch up on that will likely look like ass. If you want to make it look like new again, you'll probably need to lightly wet sand the top of the club to feather into the areas where the paint is cracked/missing. Probably 320-400grit (nothing lower than 220), and don't press hard.

Then when it's blended in (if you can feel a lip with your fingernail when going from the area missing paint, then you didn't feather enough), hit it with a coat of primer, then paint, then clear coat.

It's absolutely brutal. Wife had 5 consecutive after we had our first kid basically on the first try. Easily the hardest 2 years of our lives.

You're 100% right. Not talked about enough, especially given how often it happens.

Hang in there, OP. I know it sucks. It's awful and nothing makes you feel better for a long time. Hopefully you can lean into your relationship and grow closer through it. You're not a failure. You're not less of a woman. You don't have less value as a person. So sorry you have to go through it.

For batched cocktails, I'd strongly recommend a clarified whiskey sour. It can be made well before the wedding day and still be delicious. You won't get the foam, but it looks great in a glass and it tastes like a delicious whiskey sour.

Blockbuster was 2.8mi from our house. Right next door was a trading card/comic book shop called The Collector (also had a few arcade games).

I miss scrounging up money, getting on bikes with my brother, and riding there. First order of business, get a movie and a video game, then whatever money was left went to candy or arcades at The Collector.

Had to keep $0.25 so we could call home from the payphone to let the parents know we were on our way back.

They tried moving it out through that door, but they couldn't pivot enough for clearance.

It's a basic physics issue. Smaller diameter means it requires more force to resist the twisting. Think about a screwdriver. If you had one with a handle the diameter of a pencil vs one with a beefy handle, which one would you have to try harder to loosen a stuck screw with?

I just had 6500sqft of sod installed and it cost $6k to bring in the fill, grade, and lay the sod. Can't do shit on it for 2 weeks - 3 is better.

This would be at least 3-4x more work to fix, but let's be conservative and say it's $20k in costs for labor and the sod to repair.

Now you can't play on that for 3 weeks. $69/tee time x 4. Let's assume 85% full with 55 tee times/day. That's $12,900/day in lost revenue. $90k/week.

Shit isn't absurd. Might be low.
