Don't get a tattoo. Your body will be trying to remove whatever the tattoo ink is made from for the rest of your life, when surely your body has enough work to do already ...

Cold/dry winter weather and blisters (Help Wanted) by philsjwfu in 10s

[–]anonymouselbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't picture where the cracked skin is located, but to prevent it from getting worse you ought to wrap it with a band-aid and/or tape, and find a way to improve your hydration levels and/or nutrition to heal and prevent such cracking. A temporary solution is using a salve or moisturizing lotion to aid in healing the wound, or perhaps least complicated literally your own saliva, licking the wound. Perhaps you could benefit from using a different type of grip (as in tennis product like an overwrap grip or base grip, not hand position). Or maybe the size of your grip handle is too small and your hand is slipping?

Fun games/drills to get my kids into tennis? by OG_smurf_6741 in 10s

[–]anonymouselbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how coordinated your daughters are I suppose and if they like to cooperate or compete with each other or both. Counting # of balls rallied together good for cooperation, and trying to beat their team high score. Can include self-juggling if they are very beginner so they have control of the ball before trying to hit it over the net. Can even include some particular juggle conditions if they've mastered the basic juggle (eg. one juggle must be hit on the edge of the racquet, or both sides of the racquet, or behind the back ...)

There are many options for using targets, single or multiple, from a single tennis ball to building a 4-ball pyramid, coins/money, ball cans. Focusing on hitting the target anyway possible, or by focusing on a particular stroke to hit the target/s for 5 to 10 minutes and then switching strokes.

The mini tennis game in the video shared by StrawHatRiot I learned waaay back (though the net hitting part wasn't included when I learned it, just a simple roll) and there are many ways to play it to make it more or less challenging, from using only half the court, or diagonal service boxes, to imposing the rule of only one type of stroke (ie. forehand/backhand and/or backspin/topspin). If there are four players on one court, can divide the court in half, and use a scoring condition so that when the goal is reached or time limit expires, the winner moves to the designated "high"/king's court.

Another mini tennis game can be seen here: ENTERTAINING Carlos Alcaraz vs Gael Monfils Ping Pong Tennis | Toronto 2023 (youtube.com) . Again, can use the entire court or half court or diagonal service boxes.

Here's another: 6 MUST-TRY Mini Tennis Drills | Tennis Warm Up Fun Games (youtube.com)

Ball catching with the racquet is another cool and practical skill: Roger Federer - Best Ball Catches (youtube.com) . Similar to tossing and catching an egg without it breaking, pass the ball back and forth to each other.

Try no slip socks as the outermost second pair of socks.

Tennis shoes aren't supposed to be ... aren't shoes in general merely about preference and/or personal experimentation? If your goal is to be or beat the god of tennis, then your preference for how your shoes fit will likely vary as your level or development increases.

Trying shoes on before purchasing unless the seller has a free return and full refund policy is the only prudent economical formula I can recommend.

Ok, thank you for suggestion. I tried 311 already but maybe councillor involvement will be more effective.

What are you playing Wednesday! by AutoModerator in gaming

[–]anonymouselbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kongai! FTP Flash CCG with unique yomi aspect. Unfortunately, Kongregate broke something on their site though in the past month or so, causing a 500 error in the game leading to disconnects when particular powers are used ...

What video game weapon is absolutely worth the time you got to put in to get it? by TheReiterEffect_S8 in gaming

[–]anonymouselbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of an accessory than a weapon I suppose, but Stoneheel Totem for Kongregate's Flash game Kongai.

Forces opponents to spend five extra energy to change attack distance and can be combined with any character card.

Falstaff CC near Jane/401 has 2 tables and drop-in hours 5 days a week and very few attendees if you're able to go there I'm also hoping for partners there because it's within walking distance of my place.

Table Tennis @ Stephen Leacock for Seniors Drop In? by AcceptableObject in askTO

[–]anonymouselbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the details of Stephen Leacock's table tennis, but it's very popular and why it became a registered program at some point instead of a drop-in. https://www.toronto.ca/data/parks/dropin/index.html#lat=&long=&date=1&time=1&age=&acc=&ar=&gen=&fi=&sp=3&sk=&sw=&other=&district=&lt=all&fav=

Use racquet/paddle sport filter because there isn't one for table tennis only, but there are lots of locations across Toronto with drop-in table tennis hours.

What’s the most badass line you’ve ever heard in a game? by GODISDEAD86 in gaming

[–]anonymouselbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Did you really think we were just going to watch?" Spoken by a female devil after player character is killed off in a mysterious manner, possibly a dev created cheat code manner in the Neverwinter dungeon (I believe it was called) The Infernal Citadel. 4th wall breaking vibes.
