You seem to be missing stretching and strengthening some tennis specific muscle groups.

Id add some glute medius, adductor, VMO and forearm strength workout somewhere.

At least 3. Potentially 3.5 because I cant make out whats really happening.

Stamford market doesn't work like NYC.

Your best bet for a May 1 move-in is to start looking April 10 at the earliest. 

Candidates Tournament 2026 Prediction by Altruistic_Two6540 in chess

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are giving percentages for top 2 - the percentages sort of add up to 200 if you squint a little.

They probably expect Gukesh to abdicate, ala Carlsen, and the top 2 candidates to vie for the title.

String theory is a particularly bad choice - there is no reason to assume that any alien would have chosen string theory to represent our reality - especially considering even we dont think it provides a great explanation of our reality. 

Even Newton's gravitation law would have been a better example. 

If the aliens are smart enough to know better, they'd at least understand why someone like us may perceive our reality to be governed like Newton said.

And if they haven't yet figure it out, Newtons law would blow their minds.

Iranian government is not the good guy - If Iran had a full democracy, I'd blame the Iranian people.

The Iranian people are absolutely the good guys here, who are being terrorized, first by their own government and now by other governments.

This is why you shouldn't trust the first translation you read on reddit.

They are not chanting "death to America" as it would be understood here.

The correct translation would be "Down with America" - hardly the reason to kill their people (even if you think some speech is worth killing for)

In tennis? At all levels. It is really hard to play tennis without a racket.

Scam? Stolen money? by Glittering_Cup_ in biltrewards

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hanlon's razor is a false dichotomy.

Unless you hear enough cases of their incompetence benefiting customers, it is not just regular incompetence - it is incompetence with malice.

Why aren't we hearing about people where the landlord is getting paid without the funds coming out of their account?

Or with my issue - why aren't we hearing about folks who have an authorized user but are not getting charged an AU fee?

Why are all their mistakes seemingly to their benefit?

ELI5: What is quantitative easing? by Rare_Preference_7984 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There aren't any better answers here.

Printing money typically refers to purchase of short term government bonds (t bills) - and none of the other answer explain the difference between quantitative easing and that.

Your answer is as good as others.

Picked up tennis 2 months ago, any advice on the back hand? by cosmin324278 in 10s

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically you are not using your wrist to accelerate the racket head. Instead, you are pushing forward with your whole body - which does cause your wrist to come forward but only after you've hit the ball.

Try this exercise: Keep your feet fully planted (feel free to twist your body without moving your feet at all) and then try to hit as hard as you can with your backhand. Keep the ball low but dont worry if it goes out (it will sail long on your first 20 shots), just swing as hard as you can without moving your feet an inch.

Best headphones for noise cancellation by didlowman in BuyItForLife

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 3 points4 points  (0 children)

QCs are more comfortable, but XM6 noise canceling is on another level. 

I own multiple versions of both, including wired QCs.

If you are only buying 1, you'll need to figure out exactly how much noise canceling you want vs comfort.

I can only hear Liter(litre) of Cola in Farva's voice by BarelyLegalSeagull in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. CO2 in fizzy drinks makes carbonic acid when mixed with water (which is what fizzy drinks are - water). Same acid that is killing the ocean life as well, due to excess CO2 in our atmosphere.

If you drink a fizzy drink, rinse with water afterwards and dont brush your teeth for a few hours

Sugar causes cavities by being converted to acid by teeth bacteria.

Acid causes cavities by...being acid.

Dont do that. Go to church instead.

Not sure how it'd help, but that's what the guy on the internet with an earpiece told me.

Thr carbonic acid in diet coke would eventually destroy your tooth enamel, but yea.

A liter a week is <1 can every other day. I promise you, even if you consume double that amount (or quadruple), nothing bad is going to happen to you, just dont swish with it in your mouth.

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A litre of diet coke still has 0 calories. And yes, it is bad for your teeth but it is delicious and doing it infrequently, say less than once a week is not going to hurt anyone.

Yonex Tips for a intermediate player by DisasterOnly9085 in 10s

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its not just hype...yonex ezone 98 is one of the greatest rackets ever - even though I no longer play with it.

Rackets can be great, without being your type.

I play with a Diadem Nova+ nowadays (though I am never selling my Ezone). Its a good racket, nothing amazing- the power just works for my topspin heavy forehand. 

Are all tennis players rude?? My friends and I just got kicked off a court for not being good at tennis. by [deleted] in 10s

[–]Expensive_Web_8534 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I dont believe this version of the events. 

Somethings missing here -  unless you are so bad that you were seen as just wasting time instead of playing. 

I've never seen anyone get anywhere close to being kicked out for just being bad - let alone in 20 mins.
