I've bowled three perfect games with one of those during a leage. My average is 204. Series average is 616. That was the last leage I was in. I just can't put the time into it anymore these days. Also I have to learn how to bowl all over again because I f***d up my wrist and had to have it fixed. I just can't get the spin action I used too with my wrist. I had one wicked curve that had 21 or so MPH speed on it and this was with an 18 pound ball as well. Those were the days when I was young. That was when I was stupid and thought I was superman and fell back down to earth very quickly....Ehhhh.

Didn't know you guys kind of like bowling. I play duckpins (small pins with rubber strap around, is it right ?) once a week on sunday since last year. Last time I played in a league was when I was 10 years old on sunday morning. Average now is 190 and last sunday I just rolled a perfect game (300). Quite a thrill. Wish it could happen to anyone who bowls.

Average 204 *3 (number of games in a series) = 612 !=616. Also the heaviest ball that you can use is a 16 pound ball (I'm assuming you are in the US). However the messing up you're wrist I know what you mean. I fractured my thumb in October and I can't bowl again until next season after I get the pins out in a month. Before that though I was averaging 192. To the couple of guys that are looking to join adult leagues its fun but it is more expensive.

Your average for duckpings is a 190? and you bowled a 300?

Yes and I hope I will do that again. I could hardly believe it myself, but I did.

But look at it this way, last game scores were 200, 160, 300 for triple of 660. Divided by 3 makes 220.

Another time 221, 179, 207 adds to 607, divide by 3 makes 202. That is the problem with my average,

I'm not bowling as you can say "constant". Not to mention that I was playing with a new set of balls that suits me better.

They are EPCO Viper II, 5", 3.12. I like them better than the ones I had before.

    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.

      That's a good number until the game you want to play is not in that list.

      For sure, humanity us highly unlikely to survive the helium flash. Even if we have colonized moons in the outer planets by then, that is such a monumental change in heat output, coupled with the destruction of Earth, it's unlikely we could be fully prepared for changes of that scale.
