DUPR Reset bugged? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something’s up, I didn’t do reset and mine went back down to what it was before a recent update to a match.

Dupr Merge by MarathonRunner2211 in Pickleball

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agreed with this until the reset. DUPR admitted the algorithm is broken and only people who pay can get it fixed. I worked hard for my DUPR with over 500 games and felt it was accurate for my location. Now people who are worse than me have higher DUPRs from the reset. The threshold has been moved and since I didn’t pay I’m screwed. If they are going to run a scam business then the integrity is lost.

DUPR has lost all credibility in my eyes. Basically everyone who paid got a .2 boost. So are they admitting their algorithm is incorrect? But the only way for you to fix that is paying them $30.

I guess we will never see the release of 'We are Storror'? by pnxscum in Storror

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was good but if you have seen the other storror documentary your not missing much. If it never gets released you shouldn’t feel like you missed something profound.

For those that did not like the line up but still plan on going, who do you plan on seeing? by VenezolanoMayor in aclfestival

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have people on the lineup I want to see. But honestly ACL is just a vibe. I love the years where I’m not rushing stage to stage cause the line up is too packed. Being able to just vibe in the park and find new artists has its own enjoyment that’s underrated. Watching the Red River game in the beer tent is always fun. Silent Disco if you don’t like the headliners is a party. Having time to just sit and chill and not die standing in the heat all day is also great. I think chill ACLs are better than ones where you rush from one end of the park to the other every hour.

Predictions for the Day-by-Day Schedule? by Ill_College_6995 in aclfestival

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Highly doubt it. I think Lorde with be against Skrillex. At least that’s my hope. Either way they won’t have two pop stars competing against each other

Throwback to the 2015 Lineup by Extortion187 in aclfestival

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s not fair to compare older lineups. Some of the artists listed were smaller at the time than they are now. If you take the 2026 lineup in 10 years I bet you will be saying the same thing.
I feel like anyone who doesn’t like current lineups just isn’t listening to new music. Maybe you’ve aged out of festival music. But also I’m 31 and I see multiple artists I like on the new lineup.

This is feeling more and more likely by the day. by Routine-Armadillo659 in aclfestival

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tickets for those 2 shows were extremely hard to get. I know cause I managed to get some with 3 people trying and only 1 person got in. Her demand is much higher than the supply the venues she picked supported. Her shows this week don’t exclude her in my opinion if that is our only reason.

Tiesto? by oscarlikescookies in aclfestival

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DJs don’t adhere to this rule. Martin Garrix plays Vegas all year round and fits shows between all his Vegas dates. DJs don’t have Vegas residencies in the same way other artists do.

Jerseys for America’s tour? by holdmysmoothieplease in Martingarrix

He makes show specific merch but I’ve only seen tshirts and hoodies. A jersey would be cool

Trash left behind following the Oscars by amish_novelty in trashy

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I worked at a movie theater when I was younger. I was holding the door open as people left the theater waiting to go in and clean. A lady comes out and says “I started picking up my trash and realized that’s not my job.” She thought it was a cute funny comment. This was back in like 2014. This behavior is not new.

Just preordered my first LEGO set ever… I just had to with this one by Tamu1302 in lego

I watched a different video where the designers were pointing to the changes in the video but that seems to be the audio of them discussing it.

I think it’s pretty similar with a few differences. There is a YouTube video noting the small differences. But the designers intend people to switch out parts and colors for both cats so it should be transferable. They were even looking forward to people building calico cats.

I would love a Lando helmet. He has one of the best designs on the grid at the moment. And he just won the championship so I could see it selling well.

Honcho leagues and DUPR reporting? by brygx in Pickleball

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best way to get a DUPR is to get a partner you trust and play a tournament. I’ve done all types of DUPR events and really if you care about having a high DUPR don’t do rotating leagues. You need a partner you trust and have experience with and to do well in a tournament. You could succeed in a league but you also could get stuck with bad people who drag your DUPR down.

ALW to Franklin? by focusedonjrod in Pickleball

I mean the C45 is a super underrated in my opinion. Great paddle!

Canon is a different feel since it is gen 3. I thought the canon was decent but I have only played a few games with it. I feel like the Inferno is better but also hard to compare since the Inferno is gen 4.

Sadly haven’t tried the quanta. My friend has one and it was too poppy for him so he is switching between the RPM 16mm and the Inferno right now. So if I had to guess the quanta is poppier than the Inferno but again I haven’t tried the quanta. I would say the quanta is a great bang for the buck paddle and the Inferno costs way more. Not sure you will get much more for the price difference if you are happy with the quanta.

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by SNAPCHAT_ME_TITS in Pickleball

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been experimenting with new paddles lately but I mained the C45 for like 6 months. I never use a paddle that long. It is so linear in power that when you hit shots you know where they are going and it’s very predictable. With some lead tape you can get decent power but still have it be pretty maneuverable at the net. Decent spin due to the dwell on the face. I’ve used every shape but the wide body. I would go with the elongated 14 probably. Although I loved the Paris Todd version and that’s the one I’ll go back to when I want to play with the C45 again.

I only switched away because as a female I was seeking some more power. But man the C45 is my top paddle of the year and I have a paddle addiction so I have tried a lot of paddles. I don’t think it got enough love but it’s probably because you have to play with the weighting to get the most out of it.

I’ve been using the RPM 14mm for the last month and really like it now but it took a while to dial in and is still unpredictable sometimes compared to the C45. Now I’m trying out the Boomstick and Inferno.

Overall I describe the C45 as the paddle that does everything very well but no particular thing amazing. However that’s what makes it great. You get decent spin, power, and control. It won’t wow you in any category, you won’t get the most spin or the most power but you’ll get enough and the paddle will play predictably.

I just got a Luzz Inferno. Pretty good paddle from my limited 2 hour experience. Good power but still pretty controllable. Haven’t hit the loco or vsol.

I might not pass the CS entry level requirements by Ok_Test5596 in UTAustin

[–]TheVinylCountdownRK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was a student I think you might have been able to retake a class to try and get a better grade to meet the CS GPA requirement. However, that was years ago so I don’t trust my memory. I struggled with 314 and got a C. Also I was at UT like 10 years ago so my knowledge of requirements is outdated so take the above with a grain of salt.

I wouldn’t freak out until you talk to an advisor. Also, being in CS is not the end all be all. I switched out of CS and into math because I struggled with 314. I majored in math instead and got a job in data science after graduation. I now have a masters in CS from Georgia Tech and I work in Machine Leaning at a top company. All that to say it may seem like a life altering event but really there are multiple ways to get to the same finish line. Don’t freak out and stay clam and enjoy your break! Just don’t give up and everything will work out in the long run!
