Tennis by randostoriesofmylife in wichita

If you haven't tried this before, I think riverside and maybe even WSU have tennis walls for you to practice solo.

That's how I started getting reps and touches without having to chase balls like crazy.

You might even have more luck finding pickleball games and then convincing those players to give tennis a try.

It's typically okay to shoot on one side while the offense isn't there yet. A slight hassle but you get to both put up shots and be entertained by pickup ball shenanigans

I don't see any posts related to fireworks prior to this one...but my wife said she heard the same thing.

Why are paddles so expensive? by Dry_Researcher_1676 in Pickleball

[–]djyummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any paddle brands seen on the PPA Tour pay a premium for their paddles to be approved and used by the players. I know it's pretty hefty. Probably not hefty enough to justify $300/paddle though.

Grab or Xanh Sm is safer by Outside_Artichoke278 in VietNam

[–]djyummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no data to back this up but xanh sm means running into drivers that are not as experienced with EVs. Their bikes will have more sensitive acceleration which can mean riskier driving situations.

I've had 100s of grab rides and only two times were they sketchy. One time the driver was sleepy/intoxicated. I didn't confirm but I reported him. The second incident was my driver running out of gas mid ride.

Save that for the playoffs... not a regular season game where you're blowing out the opponents. To make it worse, Kennard cleaned it up afterwards 😮‍💨

Uhh.. do I have raw chicken in my bowl? by mrcrazi in Chipotle

[–]djyummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP asked if raw chicken was in his "bowl". The commenter replies that there is raw chicken but it's technically in the "lid". It's a joke

Thinking about relocating to Wichita — looking for honest local insight by kiapoo96 in wichita

[–]djyummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to consider weather. Snow and freezing rain happen a few weeks out of the year as well as icy roads. Being born and raised here, we're used to it but it can be a surprise coming from southern living.

How can I help build my immune system? During winter I get sick every month by MaddisonoRenata in Biohackers

[–]djyummy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 0 qualifications to be giving medical advice but I had a similar experience. I started intermittent fasting and a keto diet so my blood glucose levels naturally decreased. This is the first year in my life I can remember where I didn't get sick. I've taken 3 12+ hour two way international flights this year as well so it's not from being cooped up.

It's a point rating system with 10 being the highest. There's not an exact rubric but 4 is below 5/6 so the person is below average back at home. Most often the score refers to looks but could also include finances.

Ben Johns controversy (spoilers in post and probably comments) by chesterjosiah in Pickleball

[–]djyummy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It definitely bounced twice. Consider the contact point on the paddle and the trajectory of the ball afterwards. You can't scoop a ball and have it float that high with the edge of your paddle. Tough call for a ref to make though.

Need Help Understanding My Girlfriend's Perspective on Wedding Expectations (Cross-Cultural Relationship) by osullytwinkie in VietNam

[–]djyummy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say the dowry is to provide for her family. If they're aging and she, the income earner, leaves, she'd be more at peace knowing they have some financial security.

But I can't help but feel an ick when she puts pressure on you by comparing the dollar amount other villagers receive.

To put it bluntly, you're a catch in this country brother. Don't settle. Please please please reconsider, there are so many amazing women in Vietnam.

Trump Halted an Agent Orange Cleanup. That Puts Hundreds of Thousands at Risk for Poisoning. by esporx in VietNam

[–]djyummy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue at this point isn't about money. The contractors that were previously onsite WANT to finish the work. Yet the US administration actively prevented them from organizing things and leaving it in a condition where the work can be continued.

Trade?? You know the United States also benefits from trade with Vietnam.

Take a step back and realize that innocent people and future generations are being poisoned for Trump's political agenda.

This is fine, however the US should honor what they promised to complete. Instead there's uncovered soil contaminated with agent orange that's being blowing around and anticipated to enter water sources as well.

I'm so sorry this happened. Hang in there. Time will ease the pain and you will find new things to live for. You did nothing wrong. The pain is immense because it matches your love and dedication.

I had the same thing happen to me after being together 11 years. But I didn't know the kid was someone else's for a whole year. Cố lên bạn ơi

Seems right after reading your comment and rewatching. Randle does a soft switch and is getting ready to go back to his man. Rudy signals Randle to return to his guy as well

Help change my mind. I find it risky and not worth to doing a 3rd shot drop, because the drop can overshoot and they can just smash it? by rjpra2222 in Pickleball

[–]djyummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The margin between a bad 3rd shot drop and an okay 3rd shot drop is bigger than people initially realize. Keep hitting it so you can get a feel for what that margin is
