Dealing with cheating?

I have hosted trivia for the past few years and have dealt with a fair few cheaters, but none of them have caused any trouble past me giving them a nudge ‘cmon man it’s trivia’ or public humiliation if it gets bad, but I just started at a new place and it’s getting pretty bad

I recently started at another location of the bar chain I’ve been hosting at for the past year, and only one patron has been attending both venues. This guy is blatantly looking up answers, and not even doing a good job at hiding it (putting exact decimal points on metric/imperial conversion rounds). I nudged him personally and also gave the team an indirect shoutout about cheating and a 0 in that round, but the behavior continued.

Since I’m just starting up at this venue I’m a little nervous about a direct confrontation. We only have around 3 teams now, including the bartender, so I don’t wanna actively scare away patrons, but this is getting a bit much. Any advice?

Can a player refuse to be substituted?

I am running a trivia night with a football vs futbol category, listing rules and the audience says whether it’s football, soccer, both or neither. There’s a rule in soccer where a player can refuse to be substituted. Can anyone find an equivalent for American Football?

I can only come if my legs are straight and flexed

I mean title is self explanatory, I am able to orgasm during sex but only if I flex and straighten my legs. Sometimes I can go with just flexing them and having them bent but not always.

I am pretty sure it is because of the position I masturbate in, but am not sure how to fix this, or if anyone has gone through something similar. Seems like a hard habit to break so any advice welcome!

6/9 trivia category

I want to make a category for my game tonight that is loosely a silly 6/9 theme, but the only question topic I can think of is ouroboros, any help appreciated!

Final round ideas

I’ve been looking to maybe get rid of/change my finale ‘final jeopardy’ bet points question.

In recent months I’ve been making it harder, causing more people to actually bet points instead of going all or nothing, but I’m still not in love with the concept. I do want to have some sort of finale to the night though.

Options I’ve been considering: making a maximum point amount allowed to wager, make the final jeopardy just a category with 4 questions they can either wager points on or are worth a higher amount, or having another picture/alternate format round similar to my image round halftime. Any help appreciated!!

I am a renter of the second level of this duplex. It is a pretty old home, I believe around 1890. This is relevant because (though I’m not 100%) I’m pretty sure the paint here is lead. There was a lead disclosure clause in my lease, and though the landlord said he has not found any, in my experience that just means he hasn’t looked.

Anyways, a pane on the window is cracked and the paint on the exterior side is peeling badly and honestly kinda gross looking. Every time I see this door I have an urge to just start scraping away at this peeling paint and I’m not sure if I can hold myself back for another summer.

First, does anyone have experience with making small renovations in their (historic?) rental?

And second, would there be a proper way to bring this up to the landlord as a project I would be willing to do independently? Or would it be more ask for forgiveness, not permission situation?

I got this mug as a gift from a friend, I get that it would be easier/cheaper to replace but I do not plan to do that. If unable to fix, I will still be keeping it as a sentimental item.

As I understand, these cracks in ceramics are little habitats for bacteria, even after washing the mug. I was wondering if there would possibly be any way to re-seal the mug, possibly filling these cracks and making it safe to drink from.

I have some access to pottery equipment, and my first thought was to put on another layer of glaze (?) on the inside and re-fire the piece. (If you can’t tell I have minimal pottery experience)

I live on the second floor of a fairly old home, and the marks on the windows have started to bother me.

I have cleaned the inside layer of glass, and attempted to clean the exterior of the lower pane (somewhat unsuccessfully), but am completely lost on how I should be cleaning this top pane without rappelling down my roof (if I wasn’t renting, this wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility).

The screen would be relatively easy to remove, but would this be the job to do in the shower? Outside? Just a wet rag?

Additionally, while taking photos of the window for the post I realized there is a small wasp nest built at the very top so that’s cool 🫠 It’s likely old, I haven’t seen any wasps but who knows. That would be another thing I have no clue how to remove, perhaps a long stick in between the panes.

I do not have much experience cleaning, so any help is very welcome, thanks!
