      That is quite...interesting.  But not surprising in the least.  You have to be pretty brave to post something like that.

      Can you be more specific? Yes, some things may be more clicks, but others are not. If you can provide some examples I can possibly help mitigate them.

      Replying to a Status Update is an example. You need to click on Replies, then it takes you to their profile or "single status update" page vs. simply dropping a dialog  box inline like it used to. After clicking on Reply to submit, you then need to click on Home to get back to the Status Updates.

      The thing to watch for is the amps, they have extended life batteries. Most of my Kobalt batteries are 2.0 - 2.5 ah (amp hours?), but I have one that is 5.0 ah and it will last almost a 30 minutes in the mower.

    3. Cobra Kai

      I will say too, with any electric you really need to keep up on your grass more often anyway. Heavy grass will drain your batteries easier obviously, just something to think about.

      True all of dat! I have a very large yard, but a 2-car garage with 2 cars, no space for a rider at the moment. :P And yes the Kobalts now have 2.5 mah, mine has 2.0, either is too little. The Ego I got (yes I have two now :P) is 7.5 ah.

      I remember the New Coke fiasco. I hated the "new" taste. I think maybe I switched to RC cola for awhile.

  17. Played only average in yesterday's pinball tournament. Went 4-4 and finished 21st out of 48 players.

  18. So last night I get to the bar and there were 13 credits on the brand new Munsters pinball. I played one free credit and paid $4 for my other 4 games. The guy that played after me took all the remaining 12 credits. What a douche.

      We're going to a place in Madison (I/O Bar) next week just to play the new Munsters game and a few others. I'm sure to be disappointed (usually am), but looks like they have great beer at least!

      I played it recently and thought it was pretty fun. I had a couple really sh!tty balls but then a few good ones that redeemed it. I did kinda think the lower playfield reminded me of those old flipper childrens' toys though. Not much skill needed for that part.

  19. Finished 17th out of 79 players at last Saturday's pinball tournament. Good for 5.78 WPPRs and upped my rank to 2634th.

      Glen Campbell was in a similar situation. He only had like $150k in his account when he died and even more debt. After all the parasites (family, medical technicians) get a hold of someone's money, it goes bye bye.

      I actually think it will be very cool, And I'm a Big Stern fan! (Looking at my Frenzy Machine right now;) I just laugh a bit at how there's no info in the trailer other than to say it's coming out.

      I just played the Munsters machine at TPF. It was really fun. I had more fun with it than most Stern machines for sure.

       

      Found this pic of the new BK. Apparently it was leaked on Pinside.
