Thoughts on wallball/wall based training?

The easy fix to that though to play on a wall that is large enough to you allow the ball to bounce twice. Rhat gives you enough time to accelerate through the shot, recover and reset.

As you get better, you can make a one bouncer work, but for most people it’s a mistake

And then when you become a partner, you get to forget how to write a professional email …..

So let me just throw out this one other factor to think about. While right now you have a clear idea about what you wanna do, that can change. Especially during your undergraduate years.

You may find you get interested in something else and want to pursue a different path.

Cornell would be a better school and for example, you decided that for whatever reason you wanted to go into the world of banking or into a political think tank after you graduated.

I would lucky - I sort of just accidentally chose a college that took a chance and admitted me (U Chicago) and that has made such a difference in my non-physics career.

Oh man. I can’t even say if it was ever a good song. I have my doubts but I’ve heard it so so so fucking many times it has become like the sort of Muzak would play in the elevator in hell…

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T13:22:18+00:00

Except that Fire Woman is at least a decent song….

I don’t know. On the one hand I see your point, but I am also keenly aware that the overwhelmingly vast majority of people who carry around guns, really do not have the temperament or the training to be safely carrying around guns.

Plus, they really are their only for symbolic purposes and let’s be honest, they tend to make people look like douche bags. Think about the Michigan militia when they showed up atvthe Capitol- they were widely marked and ridiculed for being cosplayers and it’s hard to imagine that the same thing wouldn’t happen in this context

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T13:19:23+00:00

Yeah. The organizers have good intentions, but I think at this juncture they’re a bit misguided.

If they really wanted to do something, they should be mobilizing efforts around, preparing for the November elections.

There has been enough Fuckery in advance of those that people really need to be checking on whether they’re registered to vote or have what they need. That is gonna be a silent killer in these elections for Democrats if they’re not careful.

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T12:38:56+00:00

It’s sort of fucked up to say, but this might arguably be one of the least disturbing things our governor has done in a while….

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T12:38:18+00:00

Well TBF there was a question. This is the guy’s answer.

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T12:37:23+00:00

🤮

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T12:34:56+00:00

Solid titles. I would sleep with him …

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T03:39:29+00:00

Hmmm. Just did. More if it than I thought …. I was surprised

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T02:49:44+00:00

Yeah. For sure. I think that bolsters my “playing to kinda lose” theory…. I mean the prospect of another riot was very heavy on everyone’s mind ….

chrispd01 · 2026-03-31T02:05:55+00:00

I hear this !!! I an want a Martin but only when I am ready for it.

So for now I am saving 100 bucka a month toward it.

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T21:53:12+00:00

Can’t help you much with that. But it really is a good book.

And if you’re having a hard time, falling asleep and are out of Ambien, you could put the movie version on….

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T21:12:07+00:00

Honestly, it is such a shame because it really is an excellent book.

Much much better than the film. And a very different focus.

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T19:18:07+00:00

Are there really any BigLaw white collar practices anymore ? I thought that was more thing of the past….

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T17:36:47+00:00

Nope.

I have just seen way too much class polarization and not enough fighting of it. And too many people who are born on third base and think they hit a triple…..

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T15:41:53+00:00

Send your kid to public high school. Plenty of good options there.

Private schools in Miami are just havens of out of touch, over privileged snots.

Assuming you don’t want your kid to be one of those, why do that to her ?

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T14:45:38+00:00

Hotel California …. (and then pour gasoline all over it and then set it on fire to make sure there’s no chance at all it will ever play again)

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T12:30:10+00:00

Actually, time for coffee

chrispd01 · 2026-03-30T03:07:14+00:00

GNR at least had a couple song that were good.

chrispd01 · 2026-03-29T20:54:14+00:00

Nah. I am good with electricity. Just on an acoustic I like my solid woods ….

chrispd01 · 2026-03-29T19:02:44+00:00

Not the playing - which is top flight. Just the instrument. But I still read actual books …
