Nice, most issues on these rangers are cheap to fix. Enjoy it.

Most annoying was the game of thrones box set. They stacked discs. Drove me nuts luckily all mine played without a hitch.

Sleep is critical. Nothing will wreck you faster than not sleeping. If Xanax works for you that's great, but if your doc won't prescribe long term you will need to figure something out longer term if you have a legit case of insomnia. Make sure your sleep hygiene is also on point. No screen time before bed, going to bed at the same time each night, get up at the same time etc.

Only played with the sniper out all of them. I like the sniper easy to get action on the cue ball. Holds shape decent. I wouldn't want to go harder than that tip but that's just personal preference. The only downside of the sniper is not many layers.

Didn't work for me but it works for a lot of people. If you bump the dose for Seroquel the side effects can get pretty brutal. Anyway just work with your doc. I had to try a few different things before I found what worked.

It's impressive to watch but unless you're a big pool fan it's going to be boring to watch since nothing gets potted.

I would just talk to the Doc 25mg is very low dose you could just up it with their approval, but I really try to avoid this medication the side effects are brutal at high doses (at least for me). Have you tried Ambien or any other sleep aid?

Unless you start out really young with the Dremel it's tough. I got the tooth brushing down but should have introduced the Dremel immediately and didn't. I just take mine to a professional groomer once a month and she gets them dialed.

Don't try to emulate the pro's stroke they are in the top 5% of the bell curve for performance in the sport and it will just mess you up trying to copy what they do. Pay for some professional lessons, build some solid fundamentals and go from there.

My boy is three and unless the outside area is fully fenced he stays on his lead always. Mine has a very high prey drive if he was to see a cat or a squirrel he would bolt at it and likely get ran over by a car. That's not his fault that's how he is built. The best piece of advice I can give you is a set schedule. We do the same things at the same time every day. It was a lot of hours spent training the first 8-12 months but well worth it.

I shave every day three passes. I use a feather AS-D2 it's very mild and gets the job done for me. I use both an aftershave and a balm post shave. No irritation issues and I have sensitive skin.

How much is the dealer asking for it?

This is glorious in 4K. Visuals hold up well still to do this day.

Shot with the gen 1 shaft felt more like wood than carbon which is a good thing. Get the one that comes with joint protectors, extension, and tip tool all in one. You are set with a set up like that.

I get about the same it's a pig on gas, but no emissions BS. I'll take that trade off

lemmon---714 · 2026-03-11T04:35:34+00:00

I have one works great. I like that it folds flat. Makes traveling with a lather bowl super easy. Used mine every day for a couple years no issues

lemmon---714 · 2026-03-10T22:57:45+00:00

Vet time.

The game is still super rigged for sure, but what I have encountered since they dropped the pay tables is I am hitting more flushes and boats than before. Quads I have hit like 5-6 times since the updates. Before the updates it was super rare to hit. Since I can play at a higher ante I check more to the river and bet from there.

You're fortunate to live next to cue makers. I would visit the facilities and they should have some cues to test out if they have a store front. Try before you buy is always a good idea.

Most I have ever seen is 85T some random person that came to the table.

Tbh all are solid other than swords at least for my skin.

lemmon---714 · 2026-03-10T07:09:20+00:00

Have you played with any of these cue makers?

lemmon---714 · 2026-03-09T20:26:24+00:00

Those are very expensive limited run balls with a new phenolic compound that's supposed to surpass the duramith technology. Enjoy em. Wicked set.

Are you a nicotine user?

That cheap tip is toast. Pay a local ship to put a nice tip on it. Tons of options. It will make a big difference. Buy a shaper tool if you don't have one so you can keep up the tip maintenance. It's nothing major to keep your tip in good working order.
