If you haven't seen the HBO Doc on him, it's good.

Nope. All earwax all the time.

Mine seems to change frequently. But haven't seen either of these

Mine are all penis shrinking pills and exercise programs for if you are too strong and cool? Very weird

Izzy on the Lour this morning absolutely wrecked me.

Just watched Federer lose a set 6-2 to Tennys Sandgren. He is way off right now.

If Sandgren somehow wins this match..........

Cannot believe Roger managed to win that match. I guess the good news is he gets an extra day off before playing Djokovic in the semis.

Wait. There’s a tennis player named Tennys?

Okay RGM dads. Got a newly christened Daisy under my wings and it's time for a pinewood derby. I'm doing my damndest not to go all, "step back little one I got this," but I'm gonna give her every fighting chance. I've filed down the axle spurs and the graphite powder. The winner is measured on distance but I'm guessing time will be a tie breaker. The body is now fairly wedged with a weight balance point about 1/2" in front of rear axle placement. Limited to 5ounces. Anyone have any tips of the trade? After paint (and I'm sure bedazzling of unknown inspirations...most resent direction is L.O.L.) I still will need to add weight but looking for distribution ideas. I know most should be on rear wheels but unsure if theres an ideal %. Thanks guys.

Silicone spray in lieu of graphite dust=guaranteed win. Not really sure if that's cheating, but my Dad did that in 1980 and I kicked major ass. Still have the trophy.

I also used silicone spray on a pumpkin derby racer for my daughter the last 2 years and let's just say it's a dynasty in the making.

Distribution should just be in front and behind the rear wheels. It's kinda hard to judge it but I guess using tungsten putty really helps with keeping that center of gravity where you want it. Did you work on the wheels at all? That's usually where you can make huge performance gains.

I use Talon but it's only for Android.

On iPhone I use Tweetbot and it works perfectly. I used to use Twitteriffic, supported their Kickstarter, and generally recommended them, then sometime last year they snuck in an update that reverted everyone’s paid version to ad based and made you choose a subscription. I get needing to fund updates, but they were extremely shady about how then went about it and then were rude to everyone complaining on social media. So I recommend avoiding them.

Stock twitter app is the best, IMO.

Same here. I'm not really a heavy user at all (maybe open once a day at the most to take a quick flick through) and the basic app is fine for me.

I know if Rafa doesn't win I should want a young guy to win, and I kind of do, but 1: Zverev is really all who is left (Thiem does not count, he's middle-gen), and 2: I actually want Stan. Because I love him.

BUCKnation · Post #1940 » by **BUCKnation** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:57 pm

Thiem just wouldn't lose those tiebreakers
