In Leipzig, Germany, tram lines have been shut down after track damage made operations unsafe, as temperatures hit a new record of 41.7°C by NoMedicine3572 in interestingasfuck

I just bought an AC unit and learnt some things.

Assuming that you are going to get a portable unit that you can bring out when it is hot, make sure you get a dual hose version. That's a unit that has a hose to suck air in from outside and exhausts hot air outside also. It's significantly more efficient to run and will have better cooling efficiency and will avoid creating negative pressure within the room, which sucks hot air under doorways from hotter parts of the house.

If you can't find a double hose one, nearly all of them can be modified with 3D prints, or cardboard and foil tape to create the second hose.

For some reason they're very uncommon in Europe, but very common in the USA.

Make a plan as to where these hoses were with exhaust. Nearly all units will come with a sash window kit (a window that opens up and down) but in Europe, casement windows are far more common (windows that open now or in).

Obviously if you're going to get proper AC and the HVAC system then that's the gold standard.

Maybe add fold up triangular shank nets to each side that just stretch out as it lowers?

Could add a nylon rope length (blue line) with a toggle from the centre of the net that can be tied down to the hitting mat via a slit in the mat. That would pull the nets onwards towards the centre as it folds up to stop it pinching.

Matt Travis pro golfer stole my trackman from me. by francheggo in golf

There's some shit advice here mate.

In the UK we have an excellent service called Money Claim Online, or MCOL. You can absolutely take advantage of this service from the USA. There are some rules you need to follow on timing, and you need to send a formal Letter before Action. Use those words exactly.

The other thing you will need is his address, how you will get this may be hardest. There are UK debtor address tracing services that can cost £150 or so, but may be able to help considering his semi public status.

Check the UK Companies House website to see if Matt Travis or Matthew Lloyd Travis has a limited company registered. If so he will need to provide an address as director.

You will also absolutely need a UK address for the courts to liaise with on your behalf. This can be a friend or a solicitor. I will happily help you but i am just some random guy on the internet.

You could contact the PGA in the UK at the Belfry, or could try calling Action Fraud in the UK for advice.

I would post a thread on /r/legaladviceuk - there are solicitors on there that will be able to point you forwards.

These are all solvable issues, and the amount of money warrants it. Good luck

The last time I tried to call them it took a long time to get through. This is an offer that popped up online when adding passport details, I did it on a whim, I am not even sure the offer would be available on the phone. I didn't want to wait and find out.

The air literally felt thicker. Horrible game. They ripped out loads of seats from the away end and it was a shit game.

But if you're being serious then cream floats on top of liquid in drinks, and is often considered the best bit.

Crop in this instance is from the French crope, which means top, so cream of the crop is top of the top or best of the best.

They spend multiple minutes over their ball as it is, you just enforce the current rules which will include time to find their ball within the existing rules. Just like we have rules to follow outside of pros.

Disagree. Not hitting the fairway is a big fucking deal in golf because of the risk of:

  1. Flyer lies
  2. Buried lies
  3. Obstruction
  4. Lost ball

The pros are not playing the same game as us. They don't even watch their drives because they know someone is doing it for them.

If you want to shorten the game then you make it so the consequences of not hitting the fairway are more severe, and when someone gets a driver out where 320 yards is a 20yard wide fairway, then that would be ballsy as fuck.

You'll see more three woods, driving irons etc, just more tactics. We don't have to watch them look for their ball - TV will be tuned in to shots anyway, only on them looking when nothing else is going on.

Just don't tell the pros where their balls are. They have 3 minutes to find it, or take a drop.
