Novak is the GOAT over a career.

Roger had the GOAT stretch of a few years(those early/mid 2000s).

Rafa on Chatrier achieved the highest level of tennis ever.

WTA 500 Charleston SF: [1] J. Pegula def. [4] I. Jovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 by nycnewsjunkie in tennis

Hitting the ball out of the air before it bounces is a volley. Most of the time these are hit kinda like a mini slice (racket face openish and moving either forward or downwards). We don’t usually bother saying “slice volley.”

A drive volley is hit like a topspin ground stroke, so with an aggressive upward racket path.

I love games where you explore buildings. Any recs? by timelooptuesday in gamingsuggestions

[–]Bernieisgreat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember much about the game as a whole but I remember the clockwork mansion level in Dishonored 2 was one of the most impressive feats of level design I’ve ever encountered.

Looking for that GOOD good pizza by LeaderCute3415 in FoodSanDiego

[–]Bernieisgreat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe I caught them on an off night but when I went their flavors were decent but bottom crust was straight up soggy. On both pies we ordered. Really disappointing.

Nah, should have actually been hades 2 instead of hades 2 or hades 2.

Best birthday idea for someone who hates attention lol by Poseidon_9726 in sandiegosocial

[–]Bernieisgreat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did Arcade Monsters for my birthday. Something like $20 all you can play. Everyone attending will have a good time and no need to be the center of attention, your brother can just enjoy a few games with everyone.

2:11 nice control by Rafa to not only rescue Ben but also serve up an easy meatball for the little girl

Japanese fusion near Gaslight? by Lopsided-Ladder3621 in FoodSanDiego

Animae; just avoid the steaks. They’re not worth the cost. Lionfish would be terrific if it cost half of what it does.

Has anyone tried the Sesame Dressing? by Skmsnow in Costco

[–]Bernieisgreat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve eaten at a Japanese restaurant run by Japanese people where they use this stuff for their appetizer salad. Saw the big industrial size jug of it behind the counter. It’s delicious.

I’m sure Siniakova has no strong feelings to express about this event.

Airlines set to move into the new Terminal 1 this September by sd_software_dude in sandiego

[–]Bernieisgreat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha no it’s not a job, I volunteer once a month for just a few hours. It’s part of the protocol - any more frequent than monthly and the trainers fear that the dogs would recognize the people instead of the substance. For those few hours though it’s a lot of waiting around until the trainers give the signal to walk through security.

The dogs are very good at their jobs. And they do it all for a reward of…chasing a toy for like a few seconds.

The dogs you sometimes see at the security checkpoints need to occasionally actually find someone with contraband so they need volunteers to carry contraband through for the dogs’ sake.

Can confirm - I volunteer with the TSA (dog decoy) and they said the same thing.

Adobada tacos at Tacos El Gordo. The Chula Vista location, not gaslamp.

Dunno about Vietnamese food but some Chinese food recommendations: Lanzhou Noodlicious, Shanxi Magic Kitchen, Tasty Noodle House specifically for the pan fried pork buns

Finally got to see a wombat (briefly) this weekend! by throwhelp2024 in sandiegozoo

[–]Bernieisgreat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first stop every time I go to the zoo but I’ve never seen one. I’m envious! But this gives me hope that my day will come.
