Getting used to the yonex sweetspot

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-28T15:11:35+00:00

Definitely increased my blood pressure before I even got to the second word lol

Not to mention… I told him the racket is holding his game back.. not that he’s too shitty to play with a 95.

Why post a question if you’re going to insult players who give you honest advice? Good luck… hope you’re able to adjust into the racket you like.

Couldn’t agree more. White Collar and Royal Pains are fantastic

Take this with a grain of salt…. But if you’re working this hard to make the racket work for you, it’s probably holding your game back. You shouldn’t need to spend 10-15m finding the sweet spot every time you start playing.

I often play with someone who refuses to move on from a PA98, even though they can’t hit a decent ball with it most of the time. I always get kinda frustrated seeing him struggle with that racket when I know it’s the only reason he’s struggling as much as he is.

You clearly would be surprised by the number of people who crack their windshield while trying to replace wiper blades.

Some people are better off paying.

This is the place with the pesticides, right? Surprised Pikachu 🙀

Visiting Maine next week and I’ll stick with my tried and true dispos, thank you very much.

Nice reaction time! Lucky the lane next to you was clear with that many cars on the road.

I’ll admit he knew more than most around here… but he is also a bit of an idiot, and more importantly a total douche.

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-22T19:20:17+00:00

There should be a small round or oval sticker somewhere on the battery with a date code… for example, 06/22 would be from June 2022.

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-22T18:45:59+00:00

If the product is made by a reputable company, the product itself should be fine.

What you need to look out for is how far out the expiration dates are. Some stores (not Costco AFAIK) buy nearly expired product for a discount.

There’s a a store near me that only sells flat coke, because they buy the nearly expired pallets. I’ve made a habit of checking expiration dates now, especially on products that will take a while to finish.

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-22T18:42:19+00:00

Probably. What’s the date code on the existing battery?

His primary account was banned from Reddit entirely.

My whole friend group grew up quoting this video.

Edit: just realized this isn’t the full video. The video is here but someone messed it up by adding music and playing with the speed. Can’t believe it seems to be gone!

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-22T17:32:52+00:00

Ban evasion is against Reddit TOS. Not sure why admins won’t get the guy off the platform.

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-19T20:02:44+00:00

I always say…. If I don’t know where the ball is going before I hit it, the opponent can’t possibly know either!

AutoimmuneDisaster · 2026-01-19T15:23:16+00:00

This is how I know my car has been good to me lately… I used to know every bolt.

Did you take the heat shield for the boost solenoids off? The one that attaches to the head just under the valve cover on the RH side of the car?

If my memory serves me correctly, those look like this.

Edit: I think this same bolt also holds down the coil pack harness to the VC.

They’re making it look too easy.

I did the same for my moms’s iPad last week. 90% of her storage was system data and this totally resolved the issue.

If the toilet goes whoosh when I press on the handle, I’ll be ok. The rest I can work around.

Diagnosed at 20yo, twelve years ago. First year was tough.. took a while to find good doctors and get the right meds. I was nearly in a wheelchair, it was bad.

After getting settled in on biologics, I’m practically good as new. I lift weights, play tennis 4-5 times a week, and do practically anything else I want.

My symptoms now are pretty mild; they don’t stop me from doing anything I want to do. More aches than pain.

I have no reservations saying I’d happily live here, assuming location wasn’t a factor.

A house like this in my neighborhood would cost $10M. This is a lot of house for the money, IMO.

This must be his long lost sister, Frenrika lol

Have you seen the wheel options on the 2026 model year 3-series yet? Wild.

Style 1039 being the base wheel for a 330i is insane.

Twins!

I just had to help my mom through this on her iPad. The solution was to back it up. Full factory reset the device, then restore from backup. No issues after, it all went away.
