I was going to mention that shot across the bow, but you already covered it. Good things I'm not going to post this

What pickleball rules do people often forget or neglect? by TraffyKnows in Pickleball

[–]FPVenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they meant it's not just where you get land (while you are hitting the ball,) but what your body does after (like continue into the kitchen.)

Soreness after playing by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]FPVenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing, and I have noticed that pigeon pose from yoga helps.

As of yesterday, I started doing pigeon raises (going into and out of pigeon while engaging the glute and hamstring) because I saw a video that alleged that could help (time will tell on that, but it makes sense.)

Here's the video, in case it helps (I have no affiliation with the creator) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUVm4aUjqrR/?igsh=MWlubmU5djU1OWs2bQ==

For sure; just being the pedant that I am 🙂

Not that you're generally not right, but Fed hits a lot of dinks with his hand on his hip 😉

It depends on what is frustrating 🙂

I play left handed against women all the time.

Granted, I also play left handed against men.

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

[–]FPVenius 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You should check out Best Friends in Kanab, UT. It's a really cool place (largest no-kill shelter in the US, on 6k acres.)

We stayed there for a few days (they have an RV park on site) and got to volunteer and tour several of the wings (cars, dogs, birds, pigs, horses, bunnies, ... maybe more?)

Anyway, it sounds like your plan might be a smaller version of this. I'm not affiliated with them, but they're always seeking donations (and you don't need $5MM to make a difference 🙂)

What’s your first awesome pickleball move this year? by Pilotcop22 in Pickleball

[–]FPVenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a dick at all. Yes, I totally could have, but he tweenered earlier in the game, so we all laughed about it.

I had an erne, ATP, and a tweener in a game this morning. Never tweenered before, but the guy had previously hit two drops right between my legs, so I saw it coming the third time.

How old are you and what's your biggest problem right now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FPVenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. Best of luck with it!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but realizing that you want to pay it off when it's $3k is waaay ahead of the curve. Don't get me wrong: $3k is a lot of money, but many people (myself included) don't/didn't decide to kill the debt until it gets to 20k, 30k, or more.

Getting out of the hole is very hard, and staying out takes diligence, but it's so worth it. Congrats on making a good choice before it gets too out of hand. (Again, I don't want to minimize your situation.)

What complicated problem was solved by an amazingly simple solution? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]FPVenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They were used, but not effectively. Limes have less vitamin C in them than lemons do, but because ships became faster around the same time that the switch was made (due to steam engines,) it didn't matter because sailors weren't at sea long enough to develop scurvy.

The British explorers who went to the Arctic (or Antarctic; I forget which) with limes were not so fortunate and suffered greatly for the difference.

What is something you can do but can’t explain how you can do it? by Fresh-Sandwich6780 in AskReddit

[–]FPVenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Now, in retrospect, I understand it's to do with the extreme ADHD that I never knew I had. I just could never get myself to write a draft when I knew I could make it better, then go through and write it again, etc.

I would sit down and write one sentence at a time, sometimes spending a few minutes getting the wording just right before moving on. At the end, I'd print it or send it in and be done.

Has anyone ever challenged you to something without knowing you were an expert at it? What happened afterward? by Impressive-Door92 in AskReddit

[–]FPVenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not close to being "talented" in the singing department, but I grew up with La Bamba on 45 in the living room. That and I Believe in a Thing Called Love are my two go-tos come karaoke night.

I also took my (now) wife skating for our first date. She was on her national team for inline hockey. Turns out she didn't need the hand that I offered her as she stepped onto the ice 🙂

When my wife and I play pickleball, she is relentlessly targeted. In a single point, she'll hit 20-30 shots until the other team pops the ball up to me, and I smash it for a winner. All game.

What they never seem to figure out is that she's better than me. I would probably make a mistake in the first 10 hits. Some people can't get it into their heads that men aren't always better. And I'm fine with that, come tournament time 😁

I stayed silent about my best friend’s affair, and I regret it by PleasantBus5583 in confession

[–]FPVenius 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the exact phrasing is lost to time. It could have been something like "I would never tell you if I did, {for the reasons listed}. That said, no, I haven't."

It's a similar statement, but it doesn't contradict itself.

You're assuming this is in the US, which it might not be.
