WannaBe: Something else I never knew: <One such case was in 2019 at Royal Portrush for the British Open, when Xander Schauffele was among 30 players randomly selected to have his driver tested by the R&A, which governs golf everywhere but the U.S. and Mexico.> ...

WannaBe: Holy Batman, I took that photo 20 years ago? I've been on CG.com way to long. I can't even count how many (online) business that have gone out of biz in those 20 years. Guess I should be happy we are still here and commenting on Dr. Saidy. Maybe after I kick the bucket, he can give ...

WannaBe: From the Game Title (Section): <NOR Championship Group Miniputt (1999)> What is Miniputt? I take it that is not golf related. Is this like a section designation? e.g. Open/Masters/Class A/B/C/D

WannaBe: <NpCA> did not realize you wanted it to be posted on other web page(s)... There is a free built-in tool in Windows, called 'Snipping tool', one way to do this, is to generate the FEN image here, then snip that image -> Save As JPG or whatever you wish to your computer

  WannaBe: <OCF> Yeah, the golden bird logo gave it away. And also agree this was a pretty weak year for ads

I will go with Mayo (When Harry Met Sally II), Doritos, and the Meta with banana + tape.

Another funny thing, if you watch the original movie clip of that diner scene and look at the neon sign with the price of soda, then look at the ad, and see the price... Inflation.

  WannaBe: Here's another item of interest, there are 5 states that do not have lottery or participate in multi-state PowerBall.

Alaska, Hawaii, Alabama, Utah. And the fifth? Nevada.

There is a bill going through the legislation that will put this on the November ballot and allow lottery.

Here is another kicker, any changes have to be passed twice. So, like if something passed 2024 November, it will appear 2026.

Just in case voters change their mind...

  Troller: So we have the weird non-contiguous states, the Mormon sect-state, the banjo-playing backwards state not having a lottery? And then you are saying that the gambling capital of the world has joined in on this?

  WannaBe: Learned a new word today: grawlix

If you are wondering what the %#!@ is grawlix, well you just saw it.

  WannaBe: Tried to post a message via subspace to <Open Defence> only to realize it was analog vs digital. (forum's closed, not my fault, or Uhura's)

So, here, I will try the Morse Code method.

<OPENDEFENCE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE TEASERS FOR STRANGE NEW WORLD SEASON 3?>

<PLEASE RESPOND. OUT. ONLY A FEW MONTH LEFT.>

  Open Defence: <OPENDEFENCE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE TEASERS FOR STRANGE NEW WORLD SEASON 3?>

Hi <Wannabe> unfortunately no.... India gets them much later or not at all

The last series of lower decks is still not available in India

However SNW was streamed on Jio which is a very large platform in India so I am hoping they will have S3 however here, local language programming has much higher numbers so the platforms rarely go for english series unless they are all the rage like Adoloscence , Stranger Things etc
