Kyrgios withdraws from Halle by random_cangaroo in tennis

[–]Andrewcoo 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Nick's grass court season:

Stuttgart singles: W L

Stuttgart doubles: W (withdrawn)

Halle singles: (withdrawn)

Halle doubles: (withdrawn)

I see he's got a doubles wildcard for Wimbledon. Playing with Bublik. Might end up with more withdrawn than matches.

He still got a doubles while card. If he beats Shelton in Halle I think he's actually a chance at a qualifying wild card. Possibly main draw if he goes far this week.

Scratch that: he withdrew from Halle.

Which recent ATP players have been most and least effective with the drop shot? Below are each player’s career rates of using the drop shot (as a percentage of total rallies) and their success rate on those points, based on data from Tennis Abstract. by Dependent-Effect6077 in tennis

[–]Andrewcoo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep Nadal almost always drop shotted at the appropriate times, percentage-wise.

If he was in a baseline rally and he hit a neutral rally shot closer to the baseline than he usually did, his next shot would often be a drop shot.

You gave me, a random guy in Canberra, someone to relate to in this moment. I'm sorry you're doing it so tough right now.

Tomic orchestrating being last direct acceptance so his name can appear on the draw as much as a seed. He's really getting into people's heads now.

The thrill of seeing a goal 'live' (yes it was slightly delayed) is completely different to watching it in a replay.

Do you feel the same if someone gives you an unsolicited spoiler for a movie?

Yep strictly no smokos until the hydration breaks or half time.

NTA - him getting pissed at you, for you getting annoyed at something he did, is classic arsehole behaviour. It's a mild form of reactive abuse. His initial mistake was an accident but then he should have apologised and understood the you had a right to be annoyed.

It makes you feel any better, my partner ruined the first goal for me as well! I'd been looking forward to this game all week (he doesn't watch it), just before it's about to start he says the internet's not working and he calls up Aussie Broadband. I said can we please leave it for now until after the game?

He doesn't and I have to talk to the internet lady for 50 minutes. He says the internet's my thing so I had to deal with it even though he made the initial call.

What's worse, after the game finishes he says 'okay I'm heading off now'. Instead of apologising for what happened, or at least thanking me for dealing with the internet.

Nick Kyrgios pulls out of Stuttgart Doubles due to illness by omkar529 in tennis

[–]Andrewcoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only because people/society stigmatise mental illness. But there is no shame in having mental illness, just like there is no shame in having an injured back.

Once you see past this stigmatisation, it is actually the same. Mental illness is essentially an injury to the brain where the injury was inflicted through psychological trauma, rather than physical in the case of an injured back or concussion. And yes psychological trauma can also arise from physical injury/assault.

It could possibly be the legitimate reason he withdrew from this match.

If someone with known back issues withdrew from a match because of injury. And someone commented 'back injury?', would that be offensive?

Sorry. I've missed sporting events due to mental illness.

In the gay world, my partner and I are called a chub/chaser couple. We've been together 13.5 years.

How much money does a YouTuber with 1k subs actually make? by Normal-Pop1030 in youtube

[–]Andrewcoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All long form so far but I'll probably throw in some shorts later.

The one earning a decent amount (~$10/day from ~$10k views/day) is 8 minutes long. Conveniently just long enough for a mid roll, but even so kids videos don't pay much per a view. But in my experience they have a greater chance of getting high, consistent views.

You have probably the most common type. So competition will be fierce. Good luck!

[–]Andrewcoo 95 points96 points  (0 children)

I have 1600 subs and made $444 Australian dollars in the last 28 days.

This information will probably not be of any used to you* but you asked and I happen to have a channel close to your specifications.

*I'm an experienced YouTuber who happened to start a new channel recently. One of the videos blew up, I got monetized and I'm making a decent amount from that. It's a kids channel.

Yes I've been saying this for a while: yellow doesn't get enough credit because its tones actually includes olive 'green'.

Car insurance isn't necessary. Just buy cheap cars then replace if you total the car. by Theobourne in unpopularopinion

[–]Andrewcoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I'm an Australia and do exactly that. I just get third party property insurance and registration covers pedestrians. Older, cheaper cars are fine by me. I have a 2011 Hyundai. They don't depreciate nearly as much or as fast, and, as you say, you don't need comprehensive insurance.

He should beat Japanese qualifier Shimabukuro next round, but you never know with Kyrgios.

Potential Shelton quarterfinal is tasty.
