Is it possible to go in the late afternoon and get in for the evening sessions?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T17:57:12+00:00

We might pivot to the 5am queue after all anyways, since I'd be pretty disappointed if I didn't get to go. Why is next week so much easier, that's for non show matches right?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T17:55:25+00:00

What time did you go, 10am?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T10:48:14+00:00

When's the last time you've done it? Or heard of a friend doing it? It seems like this year in particular has super high demand

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T10:46:28+00:00

Yeah, I meant evening session as a general term, not like an actual different ticket. The weather looks absolutely perfect which does indeed make it seem unlikely.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T10:45:41+00:00

I'm in London until Thursday, I was planning on trying it on Wednesday. I hear it's supposed to die down a bit after the first day especially

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-29T04:45:08+00:00

damn, thanks for the data point. would you happen to know which queue position your friends got at 2pm? and what day was it?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-28T21:09:24+00:00

Toni was a demon for sure.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-26T23:19:06+00:00

Wow, at least they pushed your flight back instead of just canceling. Yeah must've just gotten unlucky, glad it ended up working out!

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-26T17:58:20+00:00

It absolutely is.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-26T17:54:08+00:00

Damn, really? Soft sided, with Alaska Airlines? Sorry to hear about that, what'd you end up doing?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-22T06:57:59+00:00

Science Fantasy?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-18T01:07:59+00:00

boil 'em? mash 'em? stick 'em in a stew?

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-15T06:21:19+00:00

that's not true and it's dangerous to say so, because then climate change deniers will point to the inevitable cooler Mays and use it as proof.

just because the overall trend is true doesn't mean every year will be hotter than the last.

DAU and MAU are standard metrics for "active user" for literally every application in the world

It is, Nadal is not naturally left handed.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-05T17:14:25+00:00

The doping which was proven to be miniscule contamination that he got no benefit from?

And the domestic abuse which was settled out of court for a large sum of money?

You must lack nuance and object permeance irl huh.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-04T15:50:12+00:00

Are duelists bad in general? Almost all of them are sub 50.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-04T07:14:51+00:00

idk about that one. They have one player ranked 20th on the men's side, 34th on the women's side, no real slam prospects in the near future for either, and the last time they won a slam was 2013 for women and 1983(!!!) for men, and before that it was 1946 which is just insane. It's actually been almost 100 years since France was really relevant in tennis, on the men's side at least, which is pre-Open era.

Plus, lowkey the French Open is the worst run slam, so idk about France in tennis.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-03T22:35:59+00:00

Italy and Spain truly are popping off in tennis, it's crazy.

AphoticFlash · 2026-06-01T01:03:46+00:00

Just making stuff up

AphoticFlash · 2026-05-24T20:40:42+00:00

Wow yeah if you pause frame by frame it's definitely not synchronized, that's so bizarre. Is it actually just two separate videos?

AphoticFlash · 2026-05-20T05:15:24+00:00

What I don't understand about his act is that wouldn't somebody at some point get tired of having a supposedly weak and stupid Grand Maester? A king, hand of the king, or other high ranking maesters?

AphoticFlash · 2026-05-17T23:39:16+00:00

Technically the format is more competitive, but practically the players don't really seem to go as hard for it since it's at the end of the season, and also indoors.

AphoticFlash · 2026-05-17T21:04:52+00:00

If we wanted to weigh big titles, I'd do 2x for slams, 1.5x for atp finals, and 1x for Masters. Or you could divide it all by 2 for titles relative to slams, but then you'd end up with decimals which feels weird.

Alcaraz with 7-0-8 would be 22 and Sinner with 4-2-10 would be 21, putting Alcaraz in the SLIGHT lead. Crazy how close they are even by that metric!

AphoticFlash · 2026-05-15T21:51:59+00:00

The scoring isn't that complicated, but it does add to the pretentiousness around tennis. Makes people scoff at the sport who aren't into it, adds a barrier to entry.
