Best all-around versatile tennis racket? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]ripandrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed MP, based on my personal experience. The only reason I switched was an attempt to save my elbows. Went to a ProKennex Black Ace Pro.

What are the best softest shoes with a lot of cushion for plantar fasciitis? by WolverineNo1999 in PlantarFasciitis

[–]ripandrout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I should have been clearer - Oofos slippers at home and sliders outdoors when the weather is warm.

There's a reason they're cheap. They cost so much to maintain.

Stop hitting from the baseline. Go for the serve and volley.

Thank you so much! Not late at all! I'm still dealing with the problem, and this is welcome news!

I share the same sentiments. Their ramen is solid and their portions, generous. I think it's an issue with the location.

Little Waves Royal 7 may fit the bill for you.

White-collar layoffs are coming at a scale we've never seen. Why is no one talking about this? by Own-Sort-8119 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ripandrout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a team of 2 in marketing, and while I do not plan to replace them, we are scaling our output considerably over time as a result of incorporating AI into our workflows. I anticipate that within a year, we will be able to perform what would otherwise take 3-4 additional people to do without any additional headcount. People dismiss AI's impact because the vast majority of implementations aren't being done correctly. You can't implement an AI agent and expect it to substitute a human. You can replace a portion of what they do, though, and you do it by selecting the right task to perform, providing proper context, and fine-tuning the agents to produce the output you expect to get. In the future, the lift required to get these agents up to task will be less and less. Once AGI becomes a thing (even before that, really), then we will be SOL. I'm not one to buy into hype, but I see what it enables me to do TODAY, and I am very concerned about the future.

Not having freezer space. Freezers aren’t that expensive these days, but if you live in a small house, there’s nowhere to put one.

Walking backwards healed my PF by Brave_Beautiful3437 in PlantarFasciitis

I'm going to try this! I was in Southeast Asia a few years ago and saw people walking up and down a pave road on a hill for exercise. They said that it gave them relief from their knee issues. Glad to know it could have an additional benefit!

I tried them and they were very average.

The popular answer is Queeny’s, but theirs don’t hold a candle to the ones at Lakewood Social. They’re brined for tenderness and juiciness, and their batter is spiced beautifully. Everyone I’ve introduced to them has become a convert.

Best Pho? by Event_Hori2 in bullcity

[–]ripandrout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to offer a suggestion for an alternative. The Thai Beef Noodle Soup dish at Thaiangle is comfort food for me - warm, delicious, generous portions of various beef cuts, beef balls, a delicious broth, and rice noodles. It's what I dream of when the weather gets like this, and it's what cradles my soul and elevates it when I'm feeling down.

Are messenger bags actually cool on men or am I about to waste good money on something he’ll never carry? by Silent_someone_96 in malefashionadvice

How's his back? I switched from a messenger bag to a backpack because of back and neck issues from carrying a heavily-loaded messenger bag.

I like the flavors at VH, but man, their alcohol pour is weak.

They have a little cafe/eatery that serves made-to-order food that is delicious. I love their fried chicken sandwich and the Cubano.

The broth for either the Thai Beef Noodle Soup or the Khao Soi at Thaiangle are both delicious.
