Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 200 - End of Season

Good morning from the camper in North Stonington, CT, I have no effing idea what this thread is about?

Well, since no one else decided to be kind- A long time ago, far, far away RFAlph decided he wanted to see if it was possible to max out the Rep you recieve for comments (see User Settings for Rep). After some computer geekiness (that I do not understand) about code they calculated what max would be. Then they started a rep thread so everyone could start repping each other to see what would happen. People found out the rules for repping, had cycles, spread sheets, lists, and I can't remember how long it too but RFAlph maxed out. Then everyone kept going because we were all hanging out in the thread and got to know each other. Eventually we all hit max and hence the rep retirement Lodge (we also have a virtual golf course and country club). That was ?? yrs ago and here we still are. CLose to 200K posts later. RFAlph would know more of the specifics.

Good Evening Lodge!

Writing that sent me down memory lane. It still sounds silly to explain it but it was fun for some weird reason.

At this point, in a nutshell, this has effectively replaced the TRP and HG-YBI threads.

Pretty much. Many, many longtime posters have retired from the board. We're kind of the holdouts.

Supposed to be beautiful here on Sat and Sun, iffy on Monday. Tomorrow I have an annual bottle-share/grill-out for craft beer geeks. Hosted by a local, it's always a big to-do. Anywhere from 50-100 people will end up visiting and sharing stuff. People basically save certain bottles just for this share. There is no "I'll just stop by the store" type thing. We're talking thousands of dollars of beer will be consumed, and that's not referring to quantity. Lots of $50-$75 bottles (secondary value) cracked. Usually 2-3 $300~ bottles cracked.

2 years ago, the first 3 bottles we cracked were worth over $1000 total. That was a rarity, though. We just decided to start strong.

Good chance of T-storms here the next couple days. If we don't get a lightning bolt in the backside in the afternoon, I may get the clubs out tomorrow or Sunday and play 18. If I get a free dry morning, I might mow and start to build the fire pit back so that I can touch that off sometime this summer.

Believe it or not, it was in 2007. I maxed out on 9/7/07, and the others followed, soon thereafter. The max is 2^31 - 1 = 2,147,483,647.

We've really been doing this for almost 12 years?!?

This weekend will be the final Rolling Thunder in DC. I am kind of going to miss all of the noise. https://wtop.com/memorial-day/2019/0...in-dc/slide/1/

Evening/Morning tLodge. Just got home from working the Alaska State High School Soccer Championships. Got to referee the Division II Boys Final. Crazy game, team tied it up with a goal in stoppage time by the goalkeeper (link), two more goals in OT, and finally a sudden death OT winner.

Good Morning, Lodge!

Been a long time. Seasonal night job started and completed and I have been busy trying to crochet a blanket for hubby's cousin's daughter birthday. The ones were at the BBBQ last weekend know the story. Too long to post.

I'm glad I hit the course yesterday. It is absolutely POURING today. It's a bit dark today, too. The kind of day where I'm not sure I'm going to leave the house.
