Me when I develop something or test something with another ones tool or want a quick comparison: I don’t want to use something in production for a while just to see if the basics are met.

Those sites give me the opportunity to bomb me with all kinds of scenarios and I check what’s working for me and where not.

It’s not about a few sites that I could quickly check but about patterns.

Although I agree with your sentiment I have to wonder where your companions comes from.

According the UPA 9 ball is not a calling the pocket game:

And although it’s been literally years I’ve never participated in a tournament where this was the case.

Sorry to pull this on a tangent but I’m really curious where you’re from as this seems to be s local deviation (for either or both of us, not saying one is better or worse).

That small red bulb counteracts the entropy argument because you bring energy (and quite a lot of I recall) into the system.

Would be a sad day if we no longer could reduce entropy locally under the invest of energy.
