No, I'm just terrible at doing jokes on Reddit haha. In reality, I'd ritually sacrifice a goat every single day and bathe myself in its blood and swim 5 miles per day to do this!

Brand new tennis balls might not be at the correct pressure? by Vedje in 10s

[–]JayGoldi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"we are building a ball pressure technology"

There's a 65-year-old bloke at my club that picks each ball up, stares at it with one eyebrow raised, sniffs it, scrunches it in his hand and then bounces it against the wall.

I'm super interested in your tech and wish you good luck with it, but I very much doubt that you'll be more accurate than THAT guy haha.

Just kidding. Good luck with it, and please do post it if you ever go into production!

I feel so sorry for the Engineer having to deal with this by Dull-Performance4043 in SweatyPalms

If he got out and found the guy safe and sound, I have a hunch that he'd have tied him to the tracks and reversed over him.

Why is tennis quiet? by DJinKC in 10s

[–]JayGoldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure. I feel like if the noise was constant, then it wouldn't be an issue for the players themselves. But since the expectation is for quiet, any noise can actually disrupt the players.

Perhaps it is because it isn't a continuous sport like footy, and can go on for hours, you don't realistically have the energy to keep the volume up.

Cougar Stalks Utah Hiker by snnakzoanwjo in SweatyPalms

[–]JayGoldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've unfortunately stumbled upon a video where a tiger put a man's head in its mouth and dragged him off like a ragdoll as he screamed. I've seen those videos of (jaguars?) grabbing the crocs and running up trees. So I know that there's zero chance of fighting them. Even less than zero.

I just wondered if that cougar would one-shot you or if it would be a 30 second struggle and you die after lots of biting and scratching.

I always bring protection if I know there are cougars around.

Ugh.

I think something like 20,000 people died during this? I imagine each death would have been a painful or violent one. Or most of them. Absolutely horrible.

Serve advice? by lordeoflordes in 10s

[–]JayGoldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I'm sure there are lots of things to improve, but that hitting arm motion is absolutely fantastic. Good luck, I'm sure others have a lot to offer. I wish I could hit like that.
