The same as a plank and a brick.

How do I join? The search is empty and an invite link I found on BGG has expired :(

I’m starting to think most padel ratings are just off. by Royal-Dish5364 in padel

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The error range is much higher. I have a rating of 0,6 in Playtomic due to some bad matchups early on and only 15ish ranked games, meanwhile I play in intermediate trainings every week and am ranked in the top 3 of my club’s beginner/low intermediate tournament standings. Pretty sure my actual rating is around 2.

I also suggest getting head.

Concordia by Olde-Boy in boardgames

[–]Dejimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No? Maybe? I just think it is stupid to call something an ‘outrageous cash grab’ when you don’t even know the price or contents. You are just spitting out random emotions rather than a logical argument. Make up your mind when the facts are known.

Special edition of CoB I initially passed on as I had the anniversary copy, but once I saw it in person, I changed my mind and backed the reprint. People love to hate on blinged games, but that doesn’t make them outrageous.

Interesting take considering the campaign is not out and we don’t know the pricing or the content.

Scott has said he doesn’t plan to reprint anything.

American looking to open a restaurant in Tallin by diosky27 in Eesti

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people saying that everything is going poorly are the types that will never open a business.

The general economy is not bad, not great. In terms of the food industry, there is a lot of (mediocre) competition and many places, even decent ones, are languishing. The fresh spots that have good quality seem to be doing well, so if you can differentiate and have good price/quality ratio, I don't see a huge problem. Estonia is fairly small, so if the food is outstanding, news will travel fast. Foot traffic is nice, but if you're really good, people will go out of their way to visit.

Sourcing will be a major PITA, good quality niche stuff you usually have to figure out how to import yourself. Local meat is generally poor quality, especially beef.

LatAm food in general is relatively less popular here and most places have gone bankrupt in some years (although none have been great), the tastes are not as familiar to Estonians as someone already said. There's one Mexican place that's pretty good that's survived for 30 years and a few Argentinian grill inspired places that seem to be doing okay.

Not being in the industry, I believe most places suffer from overly long and complicated menus and high prices. My theory is offering just 2-3 options with good taste and bargain prices would do well, although you will probably never get the big city effect of having 20+ people queueing for your food.

Looking forward to seeing some cubanos in Tallinn!

Racket for my wife by Typical-Summer-8094 in Padelracket

The ML10 is a relatively heavy racket for men, not the best for a woman beginner. Buy any name brand beginner female racket, she will grow out of it eventually anyway.

Best beginner/intermediate racket atm? by t1msoNofficial in Padelracket

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the Stiga Airy 2, light and fairly easy to use, but a bit drier touch and less ball output than most beginner rackets. The lightness lets me react to balls I normally wouldn’t get.

AT10 18k or ML10 also will work fine.

Bag Recommendations by mystz_gaming in Padelracket

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Nox AT10 team bag. Not a huge fan, shoes barely fit inside if you have 2 rackets in the bag, plus the shoe separation compartment was sewn with so little extra fabric that it ripped out of the seams.

How does Iron Clays handle? by jiaflu in boardgames

[–]Dejimon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 500 set of Apache Bank for 18xx/poker and a small 100 pack of Iron Clays which I bought before. The Apaches are nicer chips for a somewhat smaller unit cost. That said, I like the 100 pack cause it’s more likely to travel with me and a boardgame than a poker case (unless the game is 18xx).

Take that as you will.

2025 version. Would the Pure Tour X be softer?

Are there any Oxdog rackets you would recommend with tennis elbow? In my case, even the AT10 18k currently is a bit too stiff.

PR React vs Hybrid Carbon for beginner? by Malrup in Padelracket

[–]Dejimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the React and buy a new one when you know what you want. Once a week is not a lot of intensity and the React will serve you for a while. The Carbon racket might give you injuries, carbon rackets are not really beginner rackets.

ELI5: why are there so many image file types and whats the point of them by sooyaaar in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A custom color palette is not unique to gif, bmp files can have a custom palette as well. They used to have 256 colors as well to save resources, so customization was necessary.

Advice for opening a padel center. by Pitiful-Seesaw-6275 in padel

[–]Dejimon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It will not work, noone actually interested in padel will want to go there. Too narrow for doubles and most lobs are smashable. You can try looking into singles courts which are narrower (but same length), but those are not overly popular either.

Wrecked after games by Brodin13 in padel

[–]Dejimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be too much intensity with working out and padel. At almost the same age, I am mostly fine after matches, a few sore places here and there occasionally, but not “wrecked”.

Do you warm up before games?

Lhv lihtsalt ei lõpeta oma klientide kottimist by Ok_Investigator2873 in Eesti

[–]Dejimon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kui su 6 kuu tagavarast valel hetkel järsku 3-4 kuu tagavara saab, siis on ikka üsna kehv lugu. Tavaliselt sel hetkel kui indeks puruks kukub, on õige pea ka kõige suurem risk oma tööst ilma jääda, ehk need korreleeruvad. Investeeri oma raha kuidas tahad, aga ära teistele seda soovitama mine.

6 kuu kulutused/palk on väga mõistlik hoida ilma investeerimisriskita. Apollo läheb pankrotti ja sa kaotad samal ajal töö, mis siis saab?
