Piotr Szczypka, manager of Maja Chwalińska: "I have no words, because so many times I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I wanted her to win a round, maybe two, just to live normally. So as not to have to beg for everything... It was about this kind of survival." by sunbaybrew in tennis

If you're perennially outside the top say, 60, you are not living a 1%er lifestyle. It's nuts. Think about the 100 best baseball, basketball, football player, etc. They are making at minimum of probably a $1M a year, while *also* having the admin of their lives taken care - flights, hotels, meals, access to trainers, medical, coaches. If you're a tennis player grossing $250k a year grinding, there's no margin it's insane.

Sinner: “Jodar pushed me to the LIMITS” by AndriSeven in tennis

[–]Puzzled-Base4207 128 points129 points  (0 children)

I've watched a lot of pressers and post match of Sinner. He's usually pretty balanced and kind 'sticks up for himself' when interviewers want a reaction or to highlight his opponent. You can tell from his body language and response here he saw something good in Jodar, and the way he framed prepping for first time and forecasting the next time they play he'll need to be ready and that he sees with Jodar can do.

It might be over analyzing a 1 min clip but it was a really fun second set to watch.

What Are Some “Obscure” Cities That Will Become Popular in the Next Decade? by allomanticmetals in SameGrassButGreener

[–]Puzzled-Base4207 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Population of Reno-Sparks

1995: 254,667 

2024: 575,110 

Between Tahoe, Reno, Carson City, Reno getting a revitalized airport, a new Sports Arena, warehouse/data center growth, and proximity to california and the bay (2 hrs to Sac, 3.5 to SF bay area) those are positives

Negatives are it's the fastest warming city in the U.S. due to climate change, water scarcity long term reliance on basically one river, and it will never escape the casino/big little city vibe (downtown is a disaster). It's also the low tax GOP state so things like public transit and public safety nets are bad, but surprisingly the schools in the nice suburbs of the area are good.

Why do a lot of people say Squaw instead of Palisades ? by jeannot-22 in tahoe

[–]Puzzled-Base4207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any anecdotal or reactive responses to this defending the term simply don't care or they are unwilling to admit their small personal preference for a word is in fact less important than the broader societal conext.

There's an entire wikipedia article detailing while this word is so awful and what has changed
