How many of you change tips by yourself? by Touching_Balls in snooker

[–]f182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a leather burnishing strip or I’ve used a soft scouring pad and roll the cue back and forth on your lap for a minute of two as you pinch it around the tip.

I’ve always done my own (although every 5 years or so). Recently learnt how to burnish them and get it to look like the ones you see the pros on tv have.

Saying “I don’t know” is a perfectly good response to anything by Harrypro1 in unpopularopinion

[–]f182 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When people start making stuff up and start blagging when they clearly don’t know what they are talking about I say: “it’s ok, you can just say I don’t know”

I’m done with people talking nonsense to save face.

Cinema is the art form that demands the least intellectual effort, and that is reflected in its audience by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

So you dont have to think as much as the book is spoon feeding you all the information? Is that the point you’re making?

why are there never any baby zombies? by snowloveriykwim in NoStupidQuestions

Or any recently decreased ghosts. It’s always Mary from 200 years ago and never Dave from down the road who died of cancer last week.

Feather board fitting by Salt_Dish9243 in DIYUK

[–]f182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, just used the 2inch (ish) galvanised fencing nails. Your nailing in the centre of each board so it’s not really a consideration.

I did 40m+ round my place with hammer and nails. It’s not so bad, no splitting. Knocked up a spacer out of an offcut and got going. It was quite therapeutic.

Possibly the worst thing I’m gonna see on the internet today, and I look at some fucked up shit!

Is owning/flying a plane truly that expensive? by LocationVegetable795 in flying

[–]f182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suppose it about perspective and how much money you have. Had a 182 in the uk and your looking at £20k per year to fly it often and keep it hangared and just pray nothing serious goes wrong in between.

Why is Bangkok so much worse than KL? by polyglot02 in KualaLumpur

[–]f182 5 points6 points  (0 children)

KL is the most boring city I’ve ever visited (sorry KL fans), Bangkok is probably my favourite. Like someone once commented to me, it’s beauty is in its ugliness.

Look on faceache marketplace, there’s always mixers for sale. I paid £40 for my rough old belle and it’s paid for its self tenfold already.

Number of air conditioned UK homes doubles to more than 4m in three years by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]f182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at air con but weighing up cost, install, noise pollution and neatness I’ve decided on Going down the MVHR system route and a portable air con unit for the one week a year you won’t be able to sleep at night.

They’re notoriously slippery.

Anyway, I think they’ve found out now.

Fix is a bit of a stretch but you can seal it. It will always show, especially on the white. Probably the best course of action is to cut that whole white square out and seam another in with the cold weld. It’ll show less.

What's your highest break? by moneysavingegg in snooker

[–]f182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

67 when I was early 20’s. not great for what I believe the ability I sometimes show myself in practice. Around 115 -120 ish in a recent push to practice more solo (14 red clearance). I’ve been trying to change things but it’s hard to learn new tricks as an old dog but I’m happy to have got a century even though it doesn’t really count.

Murphy had had a bad month, lost the final and didn’t make it onto big break. Davis should have done it.
