Mitsubishi ceiling mount mini split

When I'm laying in a dark room, and stare at the ceiling or a certain fixed area, these black, lava like blobs move around the room (my field of vision) fading out any sources of light and objects in the area. Its kinda trippy. Like mini black holes sulking in light.
Its as if my eyes are playing around with the contrast/brightness settings on an app. It goes from barely visible to complete darkness, then back to normal, then it'll happen somewhere else in peripherals.
It only happens when I don't blink , as soon as I blink, everything resets back to normal.

What is the very best material to use for making templates (to glue on the wallpaper, mini paneling, etc)? I am bedridden and need to work on flat panels to glue into the dollhouse once completed. I’m an longtime miniaturists but had given it up when I became debilitated by lupus and multiple sclerosis. They say I’m dying, but that was a over a year and a half ago. I’m still here and I’m still just brimming over with miniature ideas in my head! But how to accomplish from my bed and my chair? I’ve kind of mastered scrapbooking and with my limitations and I’ve got my bedroom literally set up like a craft room with floor-to-ceiling shelves. You should see the look on nurses’ and doctors’ faces when they come in! The “minimalist” types almost faint from horror!! 😀 Anyhow - my problem: I’m planning a double-story roombox for my mom’s birthday and I decided to try using as a shell those clear acrylic storage/display boxes that even have a clear, secure door on the front for access. I’m ready to go with all my supplies organized and accessible, but now I’ve realized that just like scrapbooking - I’m going to have to create my walls and floors with some kind of “flat” template that can then be glued into the box. I need something that comes in small sizes like 8 x 10, 12 x 12, etc to keep cutting ti a minimum, it also need to be able to cut easily but be sturdy enough to hold up to my real wood paneling and real plaster architectural features (as I used to be skilled at). I hear a lot about chipboard, mfd, foam board, insulation board, etc. I have no idea which of these would be right for my needs. I considered using my heaviest weight scrapbook paper, but will it hold up when glued to the acrylic walls? What about a heavy ceiling with metal studs? Floor-to-ceiling wood panels? What material, weight, thickness? Any help world be greatly appreciated. 👍

Story Snippet:
Reporter: "Breaking News! Roland Wonjick, brother of the head of the Wonjick Corporation; Adam Wonjick was killed. We have a video to be shown now, viewer discretion is advised as the killing was quite graphic”
A video in bird's eye view (likely from a phone of a resident in a building) showed a man surrounded by 10 ghouls. The man whipped out 2 desserts eagles and well as his tail and started dual-wielding, fighting like a character in an action movie. He shot 3 ghouls in the head; 3 Ukakus before the rest started charging at him.
He had 9 bullets left (7 bullets per gun), that was when he ran up to a building, he was wall running for a scant few seconds before he leapt to another building and did the same thing, once he got to the rooftop, he crouched down and took position with one of his guns, hitting 2 koukakus in the throat and heart respectively. Those shot did not get up, meaning the bullets were q bullets, though he got caught when a bikaku like him came from behind his back and injured his shoulder (turns out there were 11), Roland Wonjick killed the would-be assassin by spearing his tail through the man.
The distraction was enough for the remaining 5, 3 koukaku, 1 bikaku, and 1 rinkaku to jump and finish the job, Roland Wonjick killed 3 ghouls before his head burst like a watermelon from being punched by a koukaku. 2 Koukakus survived yet was killed by the CCG when they tried to escape the crime scene, the ghouls were too injured and too slow to block or dodge the overwhelming rain of bullets.
Video end
Reporter: “It seems that the 3 ghouls were affiliated with the Clowns with the rest part of the Aogiri Tree. We-”
The T.V. was clicked off by an 18-year-old boy, face pale white, hands trembling and a face showing rage, he looked at the remaining members of the Wonjick family; his 2 parents, 2 brothers, 3 sisters, his uncle’s wife, and her 4 children (3 boys and a girl).
“So what do we do now?” Alex the reincarnate asked
“They want a fight, we’ll give them a slaughter” Replied his brother
“We have one shot at this, fuck this up and the other organizations will know our capabilities,” Said his uncle’s wife
“Good thing we brought all that war gear, eh?” said his cousin
1 hour later
4 armored trucks were cruising to the suspected headquarters of the Aogiri Tree, inside were the 9 members of the Wonjick family (2 adults remained to protect the 2 kids). All wore riot armor with their tails holding custom-made shields 1 meter wide, 1.5m long, 8 inches thick, and fully transparent. Some held, SRM ARMS MODEL 1216 shotguns, and Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine guns, all were dual-wielded, except for my father, and his sister-in-law, who held honest-to-god heavy machineguns (the type to be mounted on armored cars) and me who had a Barret M82 Sniper Rifle, as well as my mom who was an ukaku with a kakuja; she held a grenade launcher and blast (demolition), fragmentation, antiarmor (armor-piercing), and incendiary (fire) bombs. The bullets were not q bullets (oh how our targets wished they were, we just finished them off with our tails), they were war crime bullets, dum-dums, glass slugs, explosive, poisonous, and more, every mag had one of each. All expensive and hard to get but oh so very worth it.
Due to the bikaku giving their users supernatural stability, and our family’s genetic modifications, we all had bullshit levels of accuracy and defense similar to koukakus (we were skilled in using our tails holding the shields to parry attacks like dark souls experts, enhanced stability means we don't get pushed back much when blocking, and if we can't block we are fast enough to dodge roll).
We came at them like medieval knights against archers and peasant soldiers of old, tanky, and unstoppable. In 1 week we waged a family war against both the Clowns and the Aogiri Tree (most of our ghoul employees joined on the 3rd night), with the CCG backing us up (the enemy of my enemy is my friend) we culled 40% of the members of the Aogiri tree and 60% on the clowns.
We had a few casualties; 2 employees, 2 Anteiku, 10 CCG, and 1 volunteer V member (we gave generous compensation money to their family members), though my little brother and 40 other people were badly injured, they all healed up and we paid them (except for 25 of those 40, those were CCG members). Most of our battle gear broke but we’re rich and we had plenty of backups, it was nothing.
Humans felt safer here as most ghouls not affiliated with V or Anteiku stayed away from the 20th ward. Though a lot were scared of us due to seeing videos of ghouls getting shot once, then said ghouls screeching and crying and begging for us to kill them just to ease their pain (war crime bullets).
Despite the mini-war the family waged, the Wonjick Corporation still kept making money, by making songs (ghouls have better hearing making those of us vocally gifted easily becoming experts), construction, engineering, mining, and salvaging wrecked ships (enhanced strength) even making video games (enhanced stamina, useful for crunches). Ironically, despite being ghouls who eat humanoids (only human or ghoul corpses) both my cousins were world-renowned doctors.
Reporter: "We are live in the Wonjick Estate with James and Sarah Wonjick, world-renowned doctors, tell me how did you become experts in just a year, an extremely short amount of time?
James: “The bikaku gives their users supernatural stability, and ghouls have natural enhanced senses, we can hear a humanoid’s (both ghouls and humans) heartbeat and blood flow, see without the need for instruments, we can literally smell what’s wrong with our patients, we also require less maintenance (get tired or hungry slower) compared to humans, we can do a 72-hour surgery by ourselves without problems.”
Reporter: “Wow, that is amazing! Tell me what made you become doctors?”
Sarah: “We-”
I crashed through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man and screamed
Alex: “THEY HAVE A GOD-COMPLEX! THEY LIKE TO FEEL THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN THEIR HA-mpphh”
Sarah quickly covered my mouth with her tail, slowly choking me in hopes that I pass out
Sarah: “Sorry about him, he’s the weird one in the family.”
Reporter: “Uhmm, okay?”
James quickly ushers the reporters out of the house
James: “Thank you so much for the interview but it’s getting late and you should go.”
Reporter: “Wait, this is live and you haven’t answered the rest of the ques-”
*Bang!* Door slams shut

Sorry, I took liberties with the cyoa

I wrote this in reply to someone asking about their first stage, but I kinda got into it. Hope you do too, chef.
My first stage, fresh out of cooking school (but with about 12 years of kitchen experience already under my belt) was under an accomplished master chef at a restaurant I would call home for a bit over five years. Usually they start their stages on GM, but for some reason, possibly my experience, he threw me onto Rotiss, the coal-powered grill station with a wood-burning rotisserie attached, both keeping the coals alive and cooking whole chickens and prime ribs above.
This night, I would be cooking in-house-cut ribeyes, striploins, lamb sirloins, flatirons, bison flanks, salmon, halibut, the occasional burger, grilled romaine, and naan bread on that grill, keeping the coals from getting too low (failing which would mean refilling during a rush, a big no-no when there's food on the grill because igniting coal crackles and spits black particles in all directions, including at the food) or too high, which would char the fucking lamb sirloins, ribeyes, and striploins, in the bad way, chef.
I later learned that I hadn't burned my body with fire until I burned it with coal, but I didn't know that yet, chef.
I started out confident in my skills, impressed that he expected I use the same 3-turn for grilling I learned about in school, dressing burgers and grilling lettuce for the 4:30 crowd, not yet paying full attention but still thinking everything was going great. First seating finally got its push, and I got a few flatirons and bison flanks on and off the grill, cooked properly, under the watchful eye of my shadow trainer, and even managed to hit my stride getting a couple naans up and out at the same time for firsts. Things were going well.
Then, tragedy struck. My trainer had to go offline to take off the rotisserie chickens, and I was on my own.
The first pickups for mains were fish. 1 salmon, 1 halibut. Oui. I knew enough, I thought, to be able to tell when fucking halibut was done without having cooked a dense fish like hali before. No, chef.
When one passes two items for the same table, they both have to be perfect, at the same time. It mattered not that the salmon was right, the halibut to go with it was only just rare in the middle, when he wanted it a touch past med rare, where the juices start to glisten and the fish changes from pale grey to warm pearl inside. His glare alone made me catch my breath, and I realized that I had been overconfident in my abilities, overzealous and way too fucking ambitious to cook fish on my own.
Remake. Heard. Fired. Sent. Next bill.
Striploins, one med rare, one medium. I had cooked steaks before, but, you know, the fucking a restaurant name that ends in s ones that are all the exact same shape and density, their fat caps never even seen or heard of, never mind the varying marbling that comes from grass-fed beef from small-town Alberta ranchers. I pulled them from the cooler, seasoned and oiled them up, moved the coals over so they'd give a good sear, and got ready to fire. It was fine until the first turn of the steak. I'd looked at the bottom and the colour was looking good. I turned both, onto spots of similar heat, and turned around to build a set for some burgers that were close.
Now, I didn't mention yet that this was not only an open kitchen, but that rotiss station has barstools all around it, which on busy nights has 12 to 15 guests at all times. I looked up from my happy burger place to see the faces of my closest guests illuminate, as their eyes stretched to the ceiling. Fuck. Fire, I turned around and moved the strips off the hot spot, smelling their pungent, acrid odour and seeing dark, sour smoke marks along the fat caps which had rendered, in turn causing the coals to get even hotter and ignite the grill and the meat.
Embarrassed, I collected myself and told him, "refiring 22, chef" and I thought he was going to hit me. The whites of his eyes were all I could see in that moment, because if I met his gaze I felt I could melt. It felt safer returning to my grill and standing next to 1100 degrees of ignited coal than bearing the shame.
"Well, get it on, then."
"Yes chef, heard chef, firing now."
"You mean refiring now?"
The question, that awkward sense of seeming completely rhetorical, but also being somehow more, made my ears ring as though he had hit me. He was staring through me as though expecting an answer, but at the same time daring me to speak
"Yes chef." Was all I knew how to say. Steaks fired. Trainer still MIA, turned out he was firing more chickens for the rotiss, and I also now needed to build up the fire with birch so the birds could get a crispy skin, before reducing the temp with cherry wood. All while cooking this refire. Orders were now piling in, first seating was in full swing, and firsts from the early stages of second seating were starting to be taken, meaning I'd soon need more steaks on the grill so they could rest. I had to fight my senses now, leaving my strips just a little longer on the first turn, watching for flare-ups on the second. and by the time I had my med rare almost ready, I had the medium one off and resting. I pulled the med rare as well and chef came over, showed me how to rub them down both sides with cold butter to arrest the rushed cook. No compliment, no acknowledgement save a nod that I could go on next.
I got two more strips a bill or two after that, cooking them accurately but missing the rendering of the fat cap during the cook, where leaving them on their side to render properly would make overcooking inevitable, and I'll never forget this moment. He brought my trainer back on line to cover me, and called me back behind the rotiss.
"Do you have a fucking learning disability or something?"
"Yes chef, well, no, chef, but I might be a slow learner when it comes to this, chef."
"Get the fucking striploins into your seasoning pan immediately, so they warm up to room temp. Don't over-oil them, look at the side, what is that made of?"
"Fat, chef"
"Yes, fat. Do you know what each of these strips costs me? About what you make in an hour. Do you have four hours to pay me back?"
"No, chef."
"Then don't fucking burn any more."
"Yes, chef."
I got back out there, miserable and defeated. We finished service a touch over 450 covers, in a meat-heavy restaurant, my first service in the books. We flipped, stocked, and smoked, as is tradition. As I was wrapping my knife roll up and getting ready to wrap the station for the night, my trainer came over with a big piece of foccacia. He split it horizontally, dunked the pieces in the resting tray, and threw them down on the hot part of the grill to blacken and burn. He took them off and offered me one, and we munched, both staring into the black abyss of the rotisserie.
"I've been working for chef for years and I've never seen him cut someone up like that on his first day. He must really like you."
He gave me a knowing smile, because he already somehow fucking knew I'd be back.
"Good job tonight."
"Thanks, Mike."
And I would. Chef called me the next morning and asked if I would be interested in coming in to work dinner.
"Yes chef."
"Well, everybody around here usually comes in at least an hour early (unpaid, but that's another story), so I'll see you at 1:30."
"Yes chef, see you then."
It's been 25 years since I started cooking professionally. I worked my last day in a kitchen a couple months ago. I hated every fucking minute, but I have never found any other work that made me as satisfied and angry at the same time. Good riddance and best wishes, chef. And Mike? Thanks for showing me the real heart of the industry, you big fucking freight train of a man.
Bye, chef. See you tomorrow.
--Honestly, I'm turning this into a post on main because no one will ever see it here I'm vain and want someone to see my work, but thank you for inspiring me to write about my experience itsnotyourfault- I owe you a debt of gratitude.
TLDR: Don't be a dick, render those fat caps, and be kind to your brothers, chef.

Before I begin, I'll just say that the CONTENT available for the horses, including those in the shop that I'll never touch, is all pretty good.
I've found a number of horses already, horse adornments, and trophies.
My favorite combo is the Light-Bearer with the Scosglen Barding armor. Of course, trotting around with the exaggerated swagger of a standard ATC member.
Anyway, onto the aforementioned 'pants'.
So, remember that issue from the betas where walking out of towns was almost impossible because of the broken instance loading? Remember how they fixed it for launch and it was awesome? Yeah, mounts break that because of their speed. In fact, mounts seem to break everything, everywhere, all at once.
Let's discuss.

1. Random stopping

I'm kinda glad that mounts don't have seatbelts, because I'd rather fly off my mount at a bajillion miles an hour in one piece than get cut in half doing so. I'm not armor spec'd.
When I'm cruising around Sanctuary using Spur and I cross into another territory, even if it's through a seemingly wide open glade, my mount will get caught on seemingly nothing, or maybe the smallest pile of Ghoul shit in the middle of the road. Beats me, because I can't see it. This happens all the time when rounding corners as well. It's bloody frustrating.

1. Speaking of Spur...

I truly don't know what the fuck it actually does when activating it multiple times. It says it makes the horse move faster, but relative to what? Sometimes when I click it, we'll enter a hearty gallop. Other times, my mount will be gifted with the kindred spirit of Seabiscuit and will move faster than I have time to react to.
And what about spamming it? Does it stack? Seems to sometimes, and other times it doesn't. Does stacking it make the Spur last longer, or just 1x, 2x, and 3x the speed for the original duration? Don't have a clue.
What about the times where I click it and my mount just ain't feelin' today and says 'naw fam', and just continues to trot? Just a very inconsistent experience.

1. Ability dismounts

I straight up feel like Kung-Fu Panda sometimes flying off my mount as a giant angry hairy meat nugget... in slow motion. Again: this seems to be an issue with the speed of mounts. There's no rubberbanding or anything, which is the silver-lining I guess, but I'm literally in the air for up to two seconds watching myself fall with style. Additionally, akin to the issue with Spur, sometimes it doesn't even trigger, and then I'm sitting awkwardly in the middle of a pack of Lunatics hoping they don't laugh at me as I take the time to clunkily turn my mount around to try again.

1. Celine Dion

Celine Dion had some pipes. I used to wake up to the shit at 2 in the morning all the time. Well, apparently, so does my horse. I wish to god I could muzzle his big beautiful stupid fucking face... because I'm tired of hearing it every 5 god damned seconds. It's ear splitting after the first two times.
Please let me mute him or only allow the whinny for the initial mount, or make it exceptionally rare.
TL;DR: plz fix kthx. fun game btw

Hi - I am replacing our Family Room ceiling fan, and the home builder did a lousy job installing the ceiling fan outlet/mounting box.
Instead of installing the ceiling fan mounting box properly with opening flush with the ceiling drywall, the mounting box was installed behind the drywall. On top of that, the box is not even aligned properly with the 4" circle cutout.
Does anybody have suggestions on how I can fix this amateur installation and get a solid mounting for our new (and very nice) ceiling fan?

I'm building a new home with Richmond and they only offered drywall in the garage when I selected options, not drywall + insulation, so I opted for nothing extra with the intent of insulating and drywalling the exterior facing walls myself later and then installing a mini split which would primarily run on excess electricity from solar to cool and heat the garage. When fully insulated this was seemed like a good plan and I have been looking forward to it for a while.
Well on a recent walkthrough we noted the entire garage was drywalled, which seems to be a "bank error accept $200" but it's not insulated underneath on the exterior walls (which is most of this large 3 car garage with ~13' ceilings) so its kind of shaking up my plans.
Do I still install a mini-split and just get a huge unit? Is there some new technique to insulate behind drywall that I should research?

I have some old under cabinet lights that buzz, likely because they are attached to a switch with a dimmer. (I also had this same problem for some ceiling lights where just replacing with new dimmable light bulbs got rid of the buzzing.)
However, I can't find replacement dimmable lights that plug into this type of input/output. It looks like a mini three prong outlet - does anyone know what this is called? Googling the model (GKUC40-609) shows that this George Kovacs item isn't sold any more.
Any advice for what to do here? Is there some sort of converter that I can plug into this mini three prong thing?

my bedroom has a mini split on the adjacent wall of my bed. I like to sleep cool but for whatever reason I do not like having air blowing on me all night. I also sleep hot and covering up with sheets can be too warm.
I've turned the mini split to its lowest speed and directed the vents the furthest from the bed, but it still feels drafty. due to how the bedroom is situated, air will always be directly hitting the bed.
is there any diy solution to covering up the vents just enough to dampen the airflow but still keep the room cool without damaging the mini split? I thought about adding some sort of thin fabric over the filter where the air blows through but I don't want to cause issues with the unit

Galio is in serious need of some help for some time, but since pros liked using him a lot for specific reasons, it was a hard sell. His winrates recently however, have shown how badly he functions in general situations while never reaching the highs that Rammus gets for constantly being used as a counterpick.
Right now, the biggest issue I have with Galio is that *really* bad at fulfilling his fantasy of being this hulking gargoyle out on the front lines. He has paper thin armor, his magic resistance isn't particularly special, his kit incentivizes poke/skirmisher interactions over longer trades, and too much of his power budget is placed into his Ult.
For a mini rework, I think a lot of his abilities should move him more towards being a tanky juggernaut rather than a mage that wins neutral with his passive shield, with more power being shifted out of his ultimate into his kit like his PC version, but instead of skyrocketing his AP ratios, the power would be shifted more towards survivability.
For example:
Base stat changes
Health: Health at level 15 reduced from 2460 -> 2235 (-15 health/level)
-This is part of an overall change to nerf his pro-play tactics by reducing his shield and synergy with Font of Life.
Armor: 30-85 -> 42-111 (+12 armor at level 1 and +1 armolevel)
It's absolutely flabbergasting that Galio's armor is currently so low. He's balanced like he's a mid mage and has less armor than Enchanter supports. This buff moves him to tank/bruiser armor levels.
Magic Resistance: 38-62 -> 42-73 (+4 MR at level 1 and +.5Mlevel)
Makes his magic resistance the highest in the game. Helps offset the health nerf.
​
Ability changes:
Winds of War:
-Tornado duration increases by .5 seconds per rank (up to 3 seconds), dealing up to 16% (+4% AP) of the target's maximum health as damage. Damage is no longer invisibly capped against monsters
-The radius of the Tornado continually expands while Galio is inside of it.
These changes are minor annoyance at best in neutral where you can easily walk out of the Tornado, but significantly strengthens Galio's sustained damage when he goes all in to force enemies to take damage from the Tornado. The damage to monsters can always be reduced if Galio becomes an overpowered jungleobjective taker, but a hard cap doesn't really make sense with how other champion kits interact with monsters.
Shield of Durand:
-Passive shield strength reduced from 8/12/16/20% of Total health -> 6/8/10/12% of Total health.
-Passive shield immediately takes effect with infinite duration when charged and now continues charging while in combat. The passive shield will not trigger again until the current shield expires.
-Triggering Galio's trait when this passive is fully charged will consume his current shield, restoring health equal to the remaining value and allowing a new shield to take effect.
-Nearby spell casts and magic damage taken increase the speed at which the passive charges by 200% for 1 second. Duration stacks up to 4 seconds.
-Active physical damage reduction now scales with (8%) bonus armor and Active magic damage reduction scales with (10%) bonus magic resistance.
-Active damage reduction now persists for twice the Taunt duration (1-3 seconds)
​
There's a lot of changes to take in here so I'll make a bullet list for what these changes entail:

• The Nerf to the shield strength brings it more in line with PC levels, drastically reducing the shield given by his ultimate.
• Galio can now essentially have 2 shields back to back, giving him a higher shield total for himself.
• Galio can eat his shield to sustain himself in lane, giving him better longevity against opponents that don't even deal magic damage in the first place.
• The fact that the shield charges while in combat and even more when abilities and magic damage are flying around replaces the skirmisher playstyle it encourages currently, encouraging Galio to play more aggressively instead of trying to avoid any damage until his shield is back up.
• Galio is now thematically stronger against champions he should be good against. When Swain activates his ult and starts radiating magic energy everywhere, Galio is there soaking it up.
• The active mitigation is split into two parts and allows tank Galio to counter build against whoever he's up against similar to how Rammus doesn't get MR from building armor. This is a general buff for Tank Galio.
• The damage reduction persistence has been ported over from the PC version and now tied to taunt duration. His PC version had a .9AP(!) ratio tied to a max charge taunt which we don't want, so tying the DR duration to the taunt instead is a better fit.

​
Overall, these changes would help transition Galio from a neutral focused mage, looking to make favorable trades until he's able to go in, into a much more aggressive brawler playstyle that forces his opponent to commit to trading aggressively else he will outsustain them, which in turn, creates more opportunities for Galio to punish mistakes. Coupled with the nerfs to the aspects for which he is taken in pro play (high health for Font of Life + Ult shield to make his team incredibly durable against Duo APCs) these buffs would help bump up his winrate without making him a must pick at the highest tier.

Is there a manufacturer who makes a single heat pump compressor that can make use of a fan unit for existing ductwork as well as a separate ductless unit?
For context, we have a chimney that is failing and would like to change the central heating and air conditioning for the ~1500 sqft house to use a ducted heat pump. Additionally we are renovating a ~400 sqft attic space that has no existing ducting and would like to add a ductless wall unit there.
Before the chimney problems I received quotes for a mini split for the attic for Mitsubishi and Gree- was leaning Gree due to cost.

Pushed for swap meets at Ultimate Battlegrounds in Bridgewater, MA and its been finally happening! If you can match value to value, I may be willing to trade as well - lower flair sends item first (or local).

• Shoots above my current field limit (1.7 J) (with .25g bbs and above) even with the lowest psi possible to actuate the bolt. I believe it has the CQB nozzle but may need the other cqb base (if there's a difference) from wiitech to bring fps down. Regardless I believe one of my reducers may work.
• Green gas mags with current long mag set up was 1.5J with .32g bbs (haven't tested in Summer weather)
• tapp mag may need a little work, as feeding through the tube is not perfect

• JG/CYMA AK74u with Matrix LR300 stock, repro Zenitco lower rail assembly, repro metal foregrip (painted purple if you still want it, not shown) and scope rail that attaches to the left side of the AK.
  
  • Bought off of hop-up App. Gun supposedly was worked on/upgraded by "Georgia Airsoft". Received it and was disappointed with the amount of rust - presumably from the humid environment in Georgia. Lost interest in it based on the sheer weight
  • Worked last time I shot it though it had the notorious "jamming" by smashing semi... It's an easy swap to auto, shoot, and back to normal but still annoying.
• AK Imgur album
  
  • Paid around $300 for it, will let it go for $120 local
• DYTAC / Sharps Bros. / SLR Rifleworks Licensed AK47 MB47 - lightly used - $200 local

Thank you for getting all the way down here. Now please, make sure you send an INBOX MESSAGE to me - do not use the instant chat! Message me and we can talk airsoft - worst I can say is: no thank you.

I was just watching some Portland Open coverage on Jomez and Nate Sexton was describing how you can judge how long a course is using this method:

"take the footage and divide by par and that's going to give you the effective length"

Then Jerm makes some noises and Nate continues

"The average each distance each throw would have to be. That tells you how long a course plays. Aside from hills."

I think Nate was onto something, but I don't think he got it quite right. Here's a Python function for what I propose:

def avg_throw_dist(course_distance, course_par, num_holes): return course_distance / (course_par - (2 * num_holes)) 

This is based on the expectation that for a par X, you throw X - 2 times and then allow for 2 putts per hole to make par. It's also assuming that you have covered the full distance of the hole using the allocated throws.
For the Portland Open, the East course is a par 66 at 11245 ft and the West course is a par 63 at 10692 ft.
So if you run the numbers:
East: 374.8 ft per throw
West: 396.0 ft per throw
If you want to get a bit more fancy you could consider that you just need to make it into C2 to reach the "green in regulation", so you actually require 66 ft less per hole. Here's that function.

def avg_throw_dist_c2(course_distance, course_par, num_holes): return (course_distance - (num_holes * 66)) / (course_par - (2 * num_holes)) 

and the results:
East: 335.2 ft per throw
West: 352.0 ft per throw
Are there any courses on the DGPT that require more average distance per throw than Glendover West at the Portland Open?
Also, before anyone suggests otherwise, I'm aware that this statistic fails to capture a million different things that make a course difficult including, but not limited to:

• playing surface hardness and slickness affecting, skip distance and rolling resistance
• elevation above sea level
• elevation change over the course
• low ceiling or narrow tunnels which force non-distance lines
• hazards or dog-legs that prevent splitting a hole into throws of equal length
• wind
• etc. * 1000
