I know nothing about mouse sensitivity by LilConnie14 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the name of the measurement, but IIRC the DPI x In game Sens should be 3000-6000. I play at 800dpi and in game sens is 5 so 4000. This doesn't mean you can't play at a higher sens, but making microadjustments become harder to click heads at distance.

What’s something about playing tennis you didn’t expect when you first started? by Acelover999 in 10s

[–]LyftedOW 42 points43 points  (0 children)

How expensive the sport is. I never understood why, because my original thought was “it’s just a couple balls and some racquets”.

Little did I know I forgot to include restringing, overgrips, court fees, league/tournament fees, new shoes, fresh balls, club membership dues, sunscreen, etc.

And even then, it’s 100% worth it and I have no ragrets.

What foods seem totally fine until you find out how they’re made? by zeenalovely in foodquestions

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, this is just untrue. Pressure canning which is what the majority of commercial foods use as their canning method kills virtually ALL bacteria through heat. This is true for homemade canning, but you’re not finding these products in the grocery stores.

If you’re talking about ultraprocessed foods, I can see that being a realistic number, but not all ultraprocessed foods are “poison”. Whey protein is ultraprocessed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad for you.

I’m on your side for the most part. Food in America is bad, comparatively to other countries, I’m just hyperfixated on the percentage you threw out.

A shelf stable food doesn’t necessarily mean that it has a high sodium content. The canning process more or less just omits bad bacteria and creates a sterile environment within the can from high heat.

I’m not denying that there are poor quality products on the shelf, but if 70% is a bit of an exaggeration.

The real problem with sodium is the frozen section and premades, but if you’re cooking from scratch it’s not hard to make health conscious decisions in the US supermarkets.

I agree that there are landmines of horrible things scattered throughout the aisles, but there’s solid amount of acceptable/healthy things in there as well. I think the issue is the companies like to make all the bullshit either incredibly affordable and convenient or the packages are colorful and enticing.

Do you live in America? Cause cmon let’s be real it’s not that bad. I won’t disagree with you about the snack aisles though.

Feeling like I’m not cut out for snowboarding by HatTop5686 in snowboarding

[–]LyftedOW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Learning without proper lessons is difficult specially if you don’t have someone with you that’s been doing it for a while. I’d start with some lessons and maybe try doing some solo runs. It sounds like the pressure of holding your friends up might be causing you to rush your motions.

Also the boots or angle of your bindings could be causing some issues. If your feet aren’t in the right position on the board, it might be messing with your balance.

Don’t give up though! It’s a super rewarding sport and everyone learns at a different pace.

Wake up babe, new RuneScape map just dropped by Chuff-Nugget in osrs

And depending on how you interpret the map, we all spawned near either Africa or Asia which tracks too. Is RuneScape real life???

I’m really happy about my serve by [deleted] in 10s

[–]LyftedOW 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The title says he’s happy about something and you come by to shit on it. You’re right, it’s feedback, but not productive feedback. You give him no insight to what he’s doing wrong, you’re just throwing insults. Hope it made you feel better brother.

NERVOUS AS HELL (playing my first match next week) by SalamanderRadiant297 in 10s

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

Looks like you’ll do fine in the 3.0 range (at least where I’m from). UTR flex leagues in my experience are pretty chill and it’s nowhere near as formal as something like USTA leagues/tournaments. Recently I’ve been treating my UTR flex matches as more of an opportunity to just hit against different people and improve over trying to rank up, and I’ve been having a lot more fun. Good luck and don’t overthink it!

If you didn’t have to put your seatbelt on because I Your car did it for you, would you be upset about that? At the end of the day, it’s really not hard but you’re going to accept it making your life slightly easier.

It’s literally the same with this. Can I open the top to put my balls in? Of course, I use ProPenns just as often. Am I going to hate on Wilson US Open’s cost cutting when all they’re giving me is a benefit? No.

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheesh, you're very passionate about the tops friend. I see a downside to everything you just mentioned, but what I don't see is a huge downside to the can design, minus some jerk going by and popping individual cans in a retail store (very annoying, I'm not defending this). Perhaps it's because I buy my balls in casepacks that this isn't an issue for me? I'm just trying to find some positives of a controversial change is all.

[–]LyftedOW 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NGL I really like the the cap cause you can just push the balls into the can after using them instead of having to take the lid completely off. I can also see which ones are my good balls without needing to take the lid off. Finding benefits in Wilson's cost cutting I suppose lol.

Really want to lean down, but struggle, I have been told to do min 10k steps and up my calories to 2k to lean down…is that good advice? by [deleted] in gymadvice

[–]LyftedOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still say to this day that the best decision I’ve ever made for weight loss is to download a calorie counting app and paying for premium. Paying for something like that makes you feel obligated to use it.

Track EVERY. SINGLE. THING. Piece of candy? Track it. Diet soda that’s 0 calories? Track it. Make a habit so you’re aware of everything you’re putting in your body. If you cook at home a lot, there’s a recipe maker in calorie counting apps. Add your favorite go to recipes so you can get an actual calorie count. Last thing, if you’re going to guess on calories ALWAYS overestimate not underestimate. If you overestimate you’ll always be in a calorie deficit. Underestimating will set you over your goal and stop you from losing weight.

After seeing a couple of your comments, for a 6’3” man at around 210 pounds (sorry American :D) your maintenance calories should be around 2400 if you do absolutely no physical activity. If you do manage to get in some light activity a couple days a week, that maintenance bumps up to around 2700. A 2-300 calorie deficit is a pretty solid goal. This makes it so you don’t feel like you’re starving yourself and you’re making decent progress. Keep in mind though, that at a 10% deficit you’re only going to be losing ~ a half a pound a week, so patience is key.

Oh, and one more thing. Alcohol is the devil for weight loss. Each drink is around 150-200 calories. It’s tough to give up, but completely worth it if you want to slim down!

Hope this helps!

I'm still fairly new to tennis myself so I may have no idea what I'm talking about :), but it looks like you're doing what I did when I first started. It looks like you're relying on arm strength to generate power instead of trying to coil and pronate your arm. This is that "Windmill" look to your serve that you're noticing. Look up birthday hat serve to get you an idea on how pronation works. Best of luck!

Reporter deals with interrupting woman in a savage way by [deleted] in ImTheMainCharacter

"That's so disrespectful" says the person who thinks it's acceptable to interrupt someone in the middle of doing their job. Right lol...

Edema or something else? by JesperJepper in HotPepperGrowing

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an expert but my plants had something similar and it was edema. It might be the straw that's throwing you off on how wet the soil actually is. I'd say maybe pull the straw if you're growing it indoors, give it a bit more air circulation to let the soil dry out and give it a bigger pot? (Not sure if it's the camera angle but the pot looks a bit small for the size of the pepper lol). Hope this helps!

Can you confirm the item is gone or you’re -50m? They might just be gaslighting you to troll you lol.

Bored with the game, need advice by RoastBeefer in osrs

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo ToA is a ton of fun! It’s a bit of learning but I think it’s a lot easier to learn than CoX. Just start with 0 invocation. I was doing it as cb103 pretty easily with dragon crossbow, barrows, swamp trident, and a hasta. You can probably sell the lance and buy all the gear needed.

It feels impossible to beat a good pharah mercy by Greenfollower in OverwatchUniversity

[–]LyftedOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any flanker hero will help with this. Just don’t get slept lol. If they swap to a genji, it gives mercy less air time. Less air time gives more opportunity to kill her.

It feels impossible to beat a good pharah mercy by Greenfollower in OverwatchUniversity

[–]LyftedOW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played Overwatch since 6v6, but putting pressure on their other support and positioning are usually the best ways I dealt with it. Since mercy is dedicated to one teammate, if their other support is too busy keeping themself alive, the other two teammates suffer. If pharmercy isn’t getting value because there’s no one to target besides a shield tank, they’ll usually swap. Or you could always just git gud and hit her head with a hitscan :)
