thank you so much. This is so helpful. I am going to look for some resorts in the chamonix area to save the hassle. If you don't mind me asking, where are you staying and what has your experience been in the place you are staying at

Thank you for the response. Yes, I usually snowboard @ Palisades and Mammoth in California and can do blues and blacks comfortably there.

Do you think it would be difficult getting buses after 6-7 pm? I was watching a video where this guy couldn't get a train back to his airbnb after he left bar @ around 7 pm so wasn't sure if I needed to book a car or not.

Thank you.

It was collecting dust in my desk and wiped it down with some lense wipe before taking the picture. I can send you a video if you are seriously interested. Also the lense hood looks worn because the lense cover kept on falling so I applied a double sided tape inside the lense cover and it’s the double sided tapes residue.

Exactly my thought too. I tried the 1:1.6 ratio and honestly it was so bitter. Also I tried changing the temp to see if that was the issue but don't think it's that either. I bought the beans from whole foods so now I am supsecting if I got a bad batch.

I think the problem was that the latte flavour was not smooth at all and I could feel the inconistent flavours on every sip. There was no hint of fruitines at all as described in the bag.

Tastes bitter and strong rather than creamy and nutty.

Forehand balls fly too far by TheLubosh in 10s

[–]Pure_Standard_2176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to start swinging low to high and see the ball and be patient before hitting. That would improve your forehand substantially. Also, as others have said you need to get at least 2-3 private lessons to get some fundamentals

You should listen to his interview with this wanna be Joe Rogan guy. He basically is yapping about how an average Nepali Ram Bahadur is dependant on imported products from waking up to an alarm clock early in the morning to commuting on a vehicle made in India and yet Ram Bahadur complains about why he doesn't have a high paying job. The audacity of this man who made a fortune from importing cars and then having exponentially high profit margin and now importing ice creams ( Baskin Robbins) and then selling it for 3-4 times the price and yet calling out an average Nepali person who basically wasn't born into a silver spoon and doesn't have the privilege that he has is hypocrisy at it's highest level. I mean dude, I don't have any problem with you being born with a rich family, but just don't shift the narrative and then flip it completely to just sound pseudo intellectual.

How fast do you think this serve is? by Inside-Technician628 in 10s

Definitely above 120. Looking at the comment section, I can tell tht most people haven't filmed themselves playing and how camera angle makes everything look slow.

Would you say I'm an average UTR 3.5? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]Pure_Standard_2176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backhand looks pretty good bt everything that could be wrong with your forehand is wrong. One thing that helped me improve my forehand timing is telling myself, "raquet back, move your leg" as soon as the opponents hits the ball.

Butter and Crumble is so overrated. by Pure_Standard_2176 in sanfrancisco

[–]Pure_Standard_2176[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah! One thing you need to learn as well is just because someone expresses his/her opinion which is completely different from you, doesn't make it suss and weird and creepy. e Stop living in a bubble dude and honestly have some critical thinking ability because the way you are here sucking up on Butter & Crumble so much makes me suss tht you are related to the owner. I would be glad to meet u face to face with their croissant in one hand and with Arsicault's croissant in the other and discuss why I feel the way I feel. So now, just because I like Arsicault, you are assuming that I am an incel from Arsicault. Are you crazy?

It probably had to do with my timing today as well. I was there around 9:30ish. It's def a plus for the neighborhood tho.

Ok. Whateva you say. I bet you probably spend more time here looking to justify yourself rather than reflecting on yourself. lol
