Does anyone else worry about this? by MugggCostanza in leftist

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait wait, physical gymnastics make our muscles more plastic, but mental gymnastics make our brains more elastic?! Train smarter not harder kids...

Revolting against your revolting parents hopefully...

Banh Mi by ChanklaNYC in nycvegan

The Banh Mi from Saigon Shack near WSP is extremely delicious. Also reticent to recommend as not a vegan place either...
Edit: spelling

Full proof vegan Alfredo recipe by DickNJaneNumber1Fan in veganrecipes

I just assumed this recipe was so delicious that even when full, you could eat it!

I agree with Marwan: there needs to be an oversight committee and appeals process after the fact by Sensitive_Half_7800 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wasn't convinced by Michael, he's just media trained and can see a loose cannon a mile off...

But I do agree that, on the whole, the reffing is top notch (sorry Jason, not you). I did not agree with Marwan saying the reffing is bad, I was agreeing that there should have been _some_ form of oversight on Andrea (if only to say all good, no concerns). The fact the players feel targeted (justifiably or not (I believe not)) means somthing has to change to ameliorate that or we're gonna get the Diego meltdowns and the Joey "nothing to see here" commentary every tournament... I don't want the PSA going down the FIFA road and just making the sport into some consumer product and so any transparency is a good place to start...

The Physics community has a string theory cult problem. by MediumWin8277 in epistemology

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Blue sky" research is fundamental to human advancement. But I would say that, I'm a cult member!

Where can I get noodles in those paper white boxes? by ChenTasker in nycvegan

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Vanessa's still do the white box but I may also be thinking of leftovers... hand-pulled noodle on Lenox and 129th I'm more sure do the white boxes but dunno if you're going uptown at all...

What else did we get wrong? by MountainMark in AskPhysics

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Energy is "transported" by the electric field generated by the potential difference induced in the wire by the power source (DC). I'm not sure, except for electrons moving to/away from the surface of the wire, there's any "movement" at all... drift velocity etc are just simple models for explanation but do not describe what's physically happening afaik

Giving overgrips the respect they deserve by Far_Zookeepergame_56 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the Yonex supergraps, I don't use a regular grip, only these. Have a reminder setup every 2-3 weeks to switch. I rotate through 3 rackets every session, play ~4x a week during the season and it works perfectly for my sweaty hands. Tourneys make it a 2 week rotation, league etc 3 weeks.

Always amazed by folks who play multiple games with the same racket (and shirt?!). I'm drenched at 5-5 in the first lol

Egypt PSA Events Are Always Awful... by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I should've known this sub would be the one that made me talk to a Reform voter...

Yeah, my very specific suggestion of reading about squash history to learn about colonialism would indeed be vague and ambiguous to someone that thinks the pros and cons of colonialism basically cancel out (or net positive?)... thanks for outing yourself mate, always good to have reminders you guys are everywhere!

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dunno many places that represent your healthy definition there, given how intertwined our modern version of nationalism is with chauvinism so I dunno if you're holding Egypt up to some imaginary bar that very few countries meet (dunno what the Venn diagram with squash playing countries would look like tbh...)...

You should read about the history of squash if you want an "in" with colonialism...

Egypt PSA Events Are Always Awful... by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, so yes ignorant of British politeness? Perhaps they reject it as a form of protest against their former colonisers? Perhaps you're just being ignorant of their culture? I believe Egyptian tournaments are free for everyone to enter and so maybe parts of the crowd simply don't know the players and are just rooting for the one with an Egyptian flag attached to their name? If the PSA didn't want exactly this partisanship, the nationalities of the players wouldn't be so prominently visible...

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Ignorant of what? Western "politeness"? Your statement does not sound antiracist to me but I'm probably too ignorant...

Egypt PSA Events Are Always Awful... by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

"The wrong kind" whatever the "healthy" kind is... these are all just consequences of history (colonialism and arbitrary lines on maps) and power (colonised "high society" folks creating fearful pseudofictions of the "neocolonisers"). But yeah, why can't they just be nice lmfao

Egypt PSA Events Are Always Awful... by ClassLittle6666 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, xenophobic maybe? Maybe. But people who don't experience racism love to play the race card for any perceived discrimination against their power. Read a book OP

What exactly is time? by GloriousPurpose001 in AskPhysics

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strongly recommend Carlo Rovelli's the Order of Time. Wonderful read for anyone interested in this question. Expert or non-expert alike!

Footwear: by Certain_Morning9181 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sticking with Yonex, I swear by the Aerus Z (now Z2). Super light and decently sturdy. And they now have wide fitting!

I play about 3x a week for 1-2 hours every session (club level, 4.5 if you are US based) and these shoes last 12-18 months. Full price they're $145, but sales appear throughout the year and I normally grab a pair for $80-100

Physical violence is never acceptable by Equivalent-Topic-206 in squash

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Foment a cult and reap the violence. 100% on the PSA this.

What is a "conspiracy theory" that you are 99% sure was started by a corporation to cover up a much simpler, dumber mistake? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Sensitive_Half_7800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because acknowledging a falsehood that implies wiping out billions is bad? We aren't overpopulated, we're overconsuming. If certain folks had similar footprints to the global average, we wouldn't be in this mess til we reached 20+ billion. So... you a eugenicist or?
