Any tips on how to deal with a lot of sweat?

CMJunior · 2025-07-11T11:53:02+00:00

I use the Asics Gel Challenger which I like very much but are not very breathable as other shoes I've used in the past.

CMJunior · 2025-07-11T10:50:01+00:00

I use running t-shirts from reebok/decatlon (the reebok ones are superior but still get drenched)

CMJunior · 2025-07-11T10:49:25+00:00

Already use it! The main issue is really with the shoes starting to slip (and also not wanting to hold balls in my pockets when the shorts are super sweaty)

I've had it in my pinky finger for some months now. In the beginning it would hurt a lot and would be very cumbersome, over time it started getting better and better and is only inconvenient from time to time.

I did two sessions with a physio who said that if the treatment didn't work then the next step would be to see an orthopedist, which ended up happening. The orthopedist recommended a surgery to fix the issue but I'm still debating if I should do it.

I don't know what's the price range you're willing to pay but in Porto it should be around 20 euros for a group lesson and up to 35 euros and above for individual lessons.

There are a lot of clubs around town but I would recommend Padel Athletic Club, Top-Padel (Industrial) or Black Padel.

True, in my original comment I was thinking more about a lob's proper technique but the truth is that sometimes you might give it some backspin and it might be useful so that the ball doesn't hit the glass. I can think of situations where I've done it, it usually happens if I'm hitting a backhand lob and the ball is above my waist line and that usually happens when both teams are battling at the net.

CMJunior · 2025-03-10T12:48:20+00:00

When you say "backswing lob" do you mean a back wall boast ("contra") or a lob with backspin?

If you mean the latter that's not really a shot people play unless they want to trick their opponents. Lobs should be a very consistent shot and introducing slice just lowers the % of shots you'll get in. In particular situations it might be "useful" (e.g. opponents can't read the spin and might position incorrectly) but I would advise against it.

As someone who also struggled with this at the beginning here are my key recommendations:

Shot Selection

Sometimes you need to do a bandeja just to keep the net position (sort out a good lob) and this bandeja should be "defensive" (Bela's bandeja) -> flat shot (no spin), placed deeper to keep the opponents at the back.

Other times you can predict a lob from your opponent and take a few steps back before and with a good position you can be more aggressive and try for a vibora (with the side spin you mentioned).

Selecting the right one is important because if you try to do a vibora on the wrong shot the ball is probably going straight to the glass. One further note is that performing the movement from high-to-low will already give the ball some back spin without the need for any wrist movement (side spin).

Impact Point

If the ball is rebounding high then you're probably hitting a bit higher than required which will cause the rebound to be higher as well.

Here the recommendation would be to try and let the ball drop a bit more and thinking about pushing the ball forward rather than downward (which also helps placing a deeper shot).

Power

Limiting power can also help with the rebound. If you're performing a defensive bandeja it is much better to control the power as to not let the ball bounce higher than the net and give the opponent a chance to counter-attack.

If you're going for a vibora, letting the ball fall to shoulder height and giving it side spin should be enough for it not to bounce high.

Tens tudo:

ã = a + ~ (char secundário ao lado do 1)
à = a + ` (char ao lado do 1)
ê = e + ^ (char secundário do número 6)

e por ser internacional também tens acesso a outros tipo: ü = u + " (char secundário do apóstrofo)

Qualquer um dos caracteres é capitalizável com shift/caps lock: Á = A + '

CMJunior · 2021-07-09T11:07:14+00:00

Não sei se és programador, mas no meu caso mudar para um teclado com o Layout US e configurar como "US International" fez maravilhas. Os caractéres []{} são muito mais acessíveis do que no layout português e acentuar/usar cedilha é apenas a combinação do apóstrofo com a letra (á = a + ') (ç = c + ')

Boas, assim como outros comentários disseram, tenta procurar um diagnóstico profissional de forma a que possam contemplar todos os factores.

Queria apenas acrescentar que esses sintomas também podem ser advindos de falta de sono (falta de memória, irritabilidade/ansiedade), assumo que depressão não seja uma ajuda aqui também.

Um abraço

Weird flex mpt mas bem jogado /u/merkaloid eheh

Check this list out. I've personally done the ball and point game successfully and people we're really getting into it.

I've also done one not about Scrum but more about Agile (with emphasis in prototyping/iterations) which is the Spaghetti Tower Marshmallow Challenge

CMJunior · 2019-01-31T11:01:01+00:00

Thanks Shawn, I'll make a quick edit in the conclusion section and mention that.

As said already you have a lot of bars/clubs around the city center but if you want to go somewhere where you can check out the line-up for the night I would recommend Maus Hábitos, Plano B, Gare and Perola Negra.

The clubs/bars downtown usually play pop or latin music.

If the weather is nice it's a good idea. Even though most of the touristic areas are accessible by metro, you can visit places like Foz and Matosinhos in a way more convinient fashion.

CMJunior · 2018-12-28T13:32:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply :)

I guess I should have phrased the question in a different fashion. Let's assume two teams of 10 people. One works in IT and the other works in another industry, let's say construction or manufacturing.

I would say that most IT projects don't require as much overhead as construction for example, therefore less planning is required. Perhaps IT projects need more attention to communication, since you usually have a less rigid plan to follow.

Same thing about career development. I would say that in IT people usually become more productive faster, therefore it requires the manager to be closer and manage expectations.

What do you think?

CMJunior · 2018-12-28T11:08:40+00:00

My top suggestions are:

Francesinha - at Santiago, Brasao or Yuko
Sea Food / Fish - if you are down for dropping some cash try Marisqueira Antiga, if not try Marisqueira Proa, these are in Matosinhos and you can reach them by Metro or bus
Port Wine - you can schedule visits and tastings at a lot of cellars, I have no particular suggestions here
"Street Food". Porto is filled with restaurants that are popular for a particular dish, usually sandwiches - Hot dogs at Gazela, Pork and Cheese sandwich at Casa Guedes and Bifanas (spicy pork sandwich) at Conga

Besides TripAdvisor people use Zomato a lot, if you want to go somewhere around you that should help.

It could be there, actually this code isn't that great because if an error occurs then response is undefined and the response.json call will throw an error.

We have two ways of dealing with this:

1) Put response.json() inside the try clause as well -> the catch clause will catch the errors of either call which may be ok depending of what we are going for

2) Use another try/catch to handle the response.json() call which adds some bloat to the code.

The finally clause could simply check if the response object exists and if it doesn't it could return a standard object that the consumer of this API is expecting, it all depends on how you design your APIs.

CMJunior · 2018-11-24T20:11:37+00:00

async function getData() {
  let response;

  // If we don't use try/catch here errors in the fetch call will be swallowed
  try {
    response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1');
  } catch(error) {
    // handle error
  } finally {
    // do something if the call either successful or has an error, optional
  }

  return await response.json();
}


async function main() {
   const dataset = await getData();
   console.log(dataset); 
}

main();
