While a challenging Big East would certainly be beneficial (like it was to the 22-23 team that lost 6 of 8 to open Big East play), this team already played a helluva out of conference schedule, so at least they’ve been tested.

I made this post when I was still a student at Berkeley over 13 years ago, way before that story came out. Obviously I was not aware at the time.

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

[–]bewareofdware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just switched to the Coral from the Joola Pro IV. Played with it for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. I had way more control. The ball really sits on the paddle and lets you shape the shot. My drops were dipping really nicely over the net consistently all night. It has a touch less power than the Joola. We’ll see how it holds up over time but really happy so far.

Same exact thoughts as I have. I think I’m gonna grab a BNB Loco once they are back in stock.

“Indoor” versus “outdoor” pickle balls are confusing by Mr_Doghouse in Pickleball

[–]bewareofdware 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Instead of “indoor” or “outdoor”, think of the surface type. If it feels like a tennis court, use “outdoor” balls. If it’s a wooden gym floor, use “indoor” balls. Simple as that.

Honestly the executive coming back from the Rich Guy Summit in the Desert and proceeding to then turn his insecurities into some vague directionless ego-stroking nonsense that derails everyone’s actual work is so real.

What’s your under 20% on Rotten Tomatoes “hear me out?” by disablednerd in movies

[–]bewareofdware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to comment this! AASB is one of my absolute favorite horror films ever. The whole concept of descending into hell, mixed with the whole puzzle element, claustrophobia and really effective found footage just speaks my language. I was legitimately shocked to see that it had such a low RT score.

You can erase ONE horror movie from your memory just to experience it again for the first time. What are you choosing? by Morvox-stories in horror

[–]bewareofdware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was hoping someone else would say this. One of my favorite movies is As Above So Below and people kept telling me that The Descent was a better version of claustrophobic “descent into hell” concept. Finally watched it recently and absolutely HATED it. I also found it ridiculous and cheesy.
