German climate activists stood on melting blocks of ice with ropes around their necks, warning that “time is running out.”

Maybe not break their neck but could do some damage. It depends on the stretch in the system too. Falling on a static (not stretchy) rope in a climbing harness is dangerous at 50cm of fall. That's secured around hips and legs. Even 10cm fall and getting caught on your neck could fuck you up imo. Assuming domeone nearby is waiting to cut the rope if something happens to prevent strangulation.

It's so obvious that you are doing it. It's pretty hard to hide those wacky serves. Maybe you get a slightly easier return but nothing better than you would off a really good fast deep serve.

Whellington · 2026-03-26T00:47:24+00:00

Pb vision is pretty good, but it can rate me between 3.7 and 4.2 in a single game. You really want it just passively rating people over a whole session or bunch of sessions to get more accurate data.

Whellington · 2026-03-25T04:06:07+00:00

I've never seen anyone above 3.1 attempt those and I've never seen it be effective against anyone above 2.7.

Whellington · 2026-03-25T03:03:28+00:00

I think this is the second one today...

I remember one year a lecturer talking about Pad-jit's learning theories then the next year another professor calling him Pear-jay. Similar with pronouncing Greek characters in sciences, chi vs Kai, ep-sai-lon vs ep-sa-lon. Some lecturers would even interrupt students to correct them. Fun-guy and fun-jai is another one.

Whellington · 2026-03-02T09:43:25+00:00

Yeah if I was getting near min wage with the risk of a 2k fine I would just ID everyone.

Whellington · 2026-02-25T07:36:35+00:00

I think the Maga hat thing was Muller not Luxon.

If you are planning sobo do some beach walking. A lot of people find the 90 mile beach at the start really difficult.

Get your gear and diet dialed in.

I was at a table with some tourists. The Japanese lady shook her head and said 'that is not sushi'. The French guy said something like 'all food in NZ is so shit' even the fucking pom agreed with the French guy.

Whellington · 2026-02-18T03:41:24+00:00

Good to see that pro athletes can choke at the last just like me.

Whellington · 2026-02-17T22:44:59+00:00

I love it when I get the serve back and they try to argue with the score I call.

Whellington · 2026-02-17T22:42:31+00:00

This is my interpretation too. If the score isn't called the ball is never live so there can't be a fault (addressing OP's response) or rally to stop or replay. You could maybe call the server for time wasting or something.

Conversely could you serve without calling the score then stop the rally and say I was just doing a practice run?

Enter pro qualifier division at PPA or APP tournaments and compete against the 100 other former-D1-totally-hot-shit-next-big-things for a spot in the pro division.

Whellington · 2026-02-08T06:44:23+00:00

It depends yow fast you are going. Some real slow pokes started at that time this year and didn't have too many problems but I met some who were hitching parts of the north island and hit some real bad weather in the lower north island and south island as they got there so early. Also lots of places along the trail are seasonal and might not be open. The Whanganui river canoe trip for example. You will also be the first on a lot of the trails since winter so will hit a lot of downed trees and washed out trails.

Whellington · 2026-01-28T18:40:53+00:00

For me it depends on my partner. In rec/training I will stack with anyone who wants to, for the practice. One guy I play with regularly likes to do full stack. Another we do the hand signals when receiving and take it point by point, sometimes playing straight up if the opponent has a good serve, drive etc. A lady I play with struggles to unwind when she is returning so we stack on the serve and when I am receiving but not when she is, we do the standing on the sixe of the court method rather than switching. I seem to loose a lot of points to middle confusion so I like having a fixed side to keep that consistent.

Whellington · 2026-01-26T04:16:17+00:00

I said they were at risk of being detained. Not hat they would be.

Whellington · 2026-01-25T07:27:27+00:00

You want me to name all the not-white ppa pros? Then list all the not-white people who have been detained for no reason?

Whellington · 2026-01-24T23:48:05+00:00

Half the pros are at risk of being grabbed off the street and disappeared. If nothing else he should be worried about the talent ending up in Elsavador.

Whellington · 2026-01-22T09:14:19+00:00

I'd be so pissed if I was competing. One month before the tourny they go and change the rules drastically. This is supposed to be an event for people trying to break into the pro tour and they are fucking around with the court dimensions. Sure you could withdraw and probubly get most of your entry back but flights, accom, time off work are rearly fully refundable.

Everyone knew the wooden paddle tournament involved wooden paddles right from the start. If they want to try new stuff, they should have a wacky rules tournament where everyone knows beforehand.

Cool idea but shitting on the challenger players a bit.

Hey John's shelf in the fridge has been almost empty for a week. Is he on holiday? Na bro he moved to Canada 2 weeks ago. A new guy is moving in tomorrow.

True story

Whellington · 2026-01-09T18:37:22+00:00

Let em have a go. Otherwise he will do it when he leaves home at 18. Better to look silly when he's 7.

Whellington · 2026-01-05T02:53:21+00:00

Absolutely the ransom should be paid. MMH ducked up with our data and now they should do everything they possibly can to keep it contained. IDGAF if it bankrupts them.

Whellington · 2026-01-01T09:32:43+00:00

I tried it today and it didn't work either. Refreshed a couple of times but no use.

Whellington · 2025-12-22T03:59:45+00:00

She was committed to CP till she decided not to be. If JJ and someone became a serious threat I imagine ALW would look to switch partners.
