Quoted from yaksplat:

Don't half ass it with oak, full ass it with Ipe.
Ipe is 3x as hard as Oak. It takes 3684# to push a .44" ball half way in, compared to 1290 For oak. Birch is 1260# in case you were wondering. So it's pretty close to oak.

I'd so go for slate. For pool tables there are 2 kinds, slate and crap. The slate will not warp or dent ever, it just weighs a ton.

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:

Flippers are often weak at shows. Sometimes by design I’ve heard. But if so, why?

I think it is likely that it is because at the show the games will get a ton of use (more so than most on location games), which means they will heat up, and the flipper solenoids don't work as well when hot. Turning down the power to them means that the solenoids wont heat up as fast, so less likely to have downtime/problems from them overheating.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

"It is unfortunate that the unprecedented COVID-19 (Chinese coronavirus)"
I'm assuming Robert wrote this. Only he would be dumb enough to include racism in the message. Fox News started this BS.

How is it racist to say that something that came from China came from China? People that take anything and turn it into being about race when it has nothing to do with race are extremely infuriating (I've been told that preferring white milk over chocolate milk is racist). Please take that elsewhere.

Quoted from Thunderbird:

It qualifies as a Ponzi scheme taking money from investors thinking they’ll get a return.
By definition DR fits this quite well:
Ponzi scheme
/ˈpɒnzi/
noun
a form of fraud in which belief in the success of a non-existent enterprise is fostered by the payment of quick returns to the first investors from money invested by later investors.

Are they promising quick returns to their investors? Are they using money from new investors to pay existing investors? It doesn't seem like it, which would mean it is not a Ponzi scheme. A failing business, sure; but not a Ponzi scheme. Just taking money from investors and building a business trying to give them a return is not a Ponzi scheme. By your explanation, every single failed business (which is a majority of businesses) was a Ponzi scheme (someone had to put up capital to start the business).

Quoted from Thunderbird:

Take a look at DR IPO offering and see what they say about getting monthly quick returns and it’ll change your mind. Yes, these kinds of scams do use investors monies to pay other investors. It happens all the time and NO every failed business is NOT a Ponzi scheme.

Where are you seeing this information on their IPO offering? DR is still a private company, and any filings they have with the SEC don't mention anything about returns (legally, they can't).

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I have zero idea how any of this works.
Can someone explain why RM hasn’t been arrested/indicted for something yet?
Is that forthcoming?

The SEC has now charged RM for defrauding investors. https://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2021/comp25179.pdf
