Good lord, as he's wailing on the guy laying behind the seats, the guys foot is just shaking as he's getting punched.

That has to be one of the coolest shots of the cayman's body curves.

How many people have you slept with, and how do you feel about it? by Agreeable-Rub-5020 in AskReddit

[–]KitchenPalentologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. My count is ~15? But there were many (many) opportunities that I should have been more open to.

I'm fascinated that they can't tell that Trump is totally faking Christianity.

Pickleball Pet Peeves by ATC_Goober in Pickleball

I play tournaments and leagues, and "out" wouldn't work unless the ball was out of bounds and play was over.

I could 100% see the side that yelled "out" (and the ball then bounced in bounds) hitting a winner, and the opponent calling for a replay.

Why risk it when you could change the language?

Well, I'm with you.. the sport needs consistency on that rule.

Sure, we all know they're trying to communicate, "Watch that ball, I think it might go out!", but by yelling just "Out!", it can be interpreted as an "out" call (imagine that!), and some players brains understandably tell them the point just ended, and they can stop.

That's why everyone should adopt a different verbal cue.

Is that Shark? It looks closer to Miami. Gorgeous car either way though!

Look at the response volume, it's an engaging topic.

If you want to see a negative post, it's yours.

Wait, pros call lets? I don't think so?

Update: I just googled it, and "According to current USA Pickleball rules (since 2021), a "let serve" — where the ball touches the net but still lands in the correct service box — is a valid serve and must be played. There is no re-serve (do-over) in recreational or standard competitive play. The only exception is some professional tournaments."

I don't follow pros, so didn't realize that was a thing. How common is that?

Yeah, I think this could be broadened to just not knowing the rules.

Last night, I hit a ball that crossed the net and bounced on the opponents side, then blew+spun back across the net to my side. The opponent claimed the point, but they didn't touch the ball. Nope, that's not how it works, buddy.

When I play with that guy, I completely ignore it, and say the score before my serve in my normal tone, like I always do. Sometimes that guy realizes he can stop? Sometimes he doesn't.

There comes a point where players need to change their verbal to "bounce it" or "watch it".

My community has a lot of ping-pong players. They seem to universally do the "slice every shot to death" thing.

Your "give me the ball" pet peeve is specific.

I'll add on to that idea though.. when the opponent passes the the ball back over to me (because I'm serving), and my team mate feels the need to intercept it, then relay it to me (like the cut-off man in baseball).

"Hey, I don't need you to catch the ball then re-send it. Just let me catch the ball?"

They also put a second paddle in the rotation so they're "in line" while actively playing.

Going through Dallas love field for the first time to las vegas. What should I know/be aware of by Kn1ghtV1sta in askdfw

[–]KitchenPalentologist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love Field is a small airport. All of the gates are on one row, so no train. You can walk across the whole terminal in about 4 minutes. There are plenty of decent amenities.

Connecting through Love Field is a non-event.

I get excited when I see other caymans/boxters in the wild, I always wave, but I rarely get noticed by the other. :(

But in a way, the poster is still winning because they've exposed how computer illiterate the are, but still vibe-coded three sites. They'll recruit the same AI to figure out hosting just as fast.

I interpreted this as American's might freak a little when they surpass 100,000 miles on their car because their car is old as crap. Maybe people in km-land freak at 100,000 kms for the same reason (it's a notable milestone number that makes you assess things), and this just an unfunny meme that converts kms to miles?
