ooooh BS is bipolar?


I think this thread could do without non-healthcare pros talking about anyone's meds unless they are actually trying to help which I don't think most are.

We r different Ur correct, we dont ask for help much. Never hv I ever ask for any handouts here, donations, or nothing. That artist is begging for donations. We r little different.

You don't ask for help, but you are more than willing to take handouts without asking and not thanking those who helped you.

A simple thank you to the home depot customers, employees & owners who helped fund your basketball court business, the casino hotel guests, employees and owners who paid for and maintain the gym you don't pay for and the gas powered car owners who pay the lion's share of the upkeep to maintain the roads via gas tax would go a far way. All smallish things, but add them up and we are talking about thousands of dollars in value you are taking from others and just because you are spreading this out among millions of people don't make them any less as a handout and/or theft.

Some time off now is probably a good idea. I'm rooting for you in life and poker (unless we are at the same table).

Side note, this diet thing reminds me of No talk November, another absurd challenge he gave himself

The no talk thing may have been absurd, but at least it was entertaining. This weight loss journey is boring.


@bahbahmickey Are you blaming OP because he drives an electrical vehicle? I hope not because that would be ridiculous.


FYI: Certain Caesars’ status card levels often grant access to gyms, whether staying at the hotel or not.

I don’t blame him for driving an EV, but he shouldn’t act like he doesn’t take handouts when he mooches off of the employees, customers and owners of HD & ceasers as well as taxpayers.


Ray good job on losing weight a lot of people say they are going to do that and never follow through. Keep up the good work.

There are far too many mean negative people on this forum and in this thread in particular. You guys really suck.

Case in point. Xenoblade, you're a jerk. What kind of question is that? It's not directed at Ray, it's directed at the thread in general.

Everybody in here needs to take lessons on humanity and how to be a better person. Don't be a bunch of uncaring jerks like Xenoblade here.

incorrect, it is a rhetorical question.

hey Rick! remember at the end of august when you got temp-banned for being a rude ******* to me and marknfw in several posts ITT for no reason? the time when those same posts got moved to your old blog (created by your old account which is now perma-banned... i guess for being too nice of a guy) because your nonsense wasn't wanted here?

shut your little hypocrite mouth. i won't be responding to any (inevitably longwinded) responses from you on this subject so you may as well not even bother responding (and just take your loss).


i mean simplerick is just a troll right? regardless of what anyone posts he just responds super aggressively and fights with them.


simple tick is not a troll

rayz, in all seriousness, i can buy your tesla in cash

You come off like a real internet tough guy telling me to shut my mouth. Did that make you feel big? You're just a pathetic jerk hiding behind anonymity on the internet. Sad.

Well in their current state ... modern EVs and their rediculous supply chain makeups are more of a -EV burden on the environment and society than the incredibly efficient modern combustion cars available today.
Not to say they won't someday be +EV but as they stand they are a clear GRIFT and form of power-grab


Euh, no.
If you account for the normal lifetime of a car, it's not.

Anyone that can't tell MastaAces is the troll here really needs to work on their comprehension skills.

agreed! OP doesn't listen to advice anyway (and says he appreciates "hate"), so instead of friendly advice he now gets quips. an individual with his inflated ego needs some push-back, so in reality, i'm actually helping him in two different way!

to be fair, i'm far from the only troll 😀 not sure why you think his post had anything to do with trolls though.

Man I wish it cd hv all been done in the week I rented skid! Ima one man show out here. Had to cut 5’ into a slope, level out, haul rock, build a retaining wall, frame, etc all before this rip rap stuff. *leaving all 2bys in place.This rip is going around the high parts of the court. Instead of a steep fall down into dirt. Ur now falling and breaking a leg, hip, and gettin

how did you build this retaining wall?


i've never played pickleball before, but wouldn't having a steep decline at the edge of the court covered in rip rap be considered quite a dangerous hazard for people running and focusing on the ball?


yes

maybe Mr. Sir gave his unsolicited opinion on how a basketball court should be built and Rayz did the exact opposite just to spite him. sounds about right. doesn't really matter much though since nobody is actually going to play much ball on it whatsoever.


Jesus christ you seem very bitter MastaAces

As Rayz's biggest fan, it's not easy being ignored! Ever heard the Eminem song Stan? That's basically about me.

judging by the pickleball courts they set up daily in my gym, they are much smaller than a basketball court, so it might not be a problem. also in the times i see people playing, they aren't running around as much as tennis players, it seems like a game where people dont end up out of bounds playing much (like how a basketball player can end up out of bounds many times throughout a game). but wtf do i know, ive never played it and my only knowledge comes from me walking by people playing it.


If I was building a court I would add an extra 5 feet in every direction of the court and have a fence around it (4 foot chain link would be fine) - bare minimum on the fence is to have one at least beyond the endzones. If I had a court in my backyard with either no fence or 3 feet or less of concrete around the playing surface I would prefer to drive to the closest park to play even if that meant I had to wait a bit to play.

johnny, I don't think hero gave us the dimensions of the concrete, but there is no way he is doing a full basketball court and I highly doubt it is even a full-sized half-court.
