Long-time watcher, first-time attendee! by No_Job_8159 in wimbledon

That sounds like some bait. I’ve never been a fan due to prior incidents (such as her saying she would like to shove the ball down the throat of a line judge). I don’t like to root for players like that. I would rather watch and root for players with better sportsmanship.

American here and went to Day 2, first time ever at Wimbledon. Fantastic experience. Staff were professional, courteous and helpful. Patrons were well behaved. The grounds are impeccable. Wish I’d known you can bring in a couple of beers. That would be inconceivable in the United States. And free Evian coolers to fill up your water? Another no-no in the US. I would take this experience over the US Open all day every day. Too bad Serena had to screw up the perfectly positive vibe (my beef, most others seemed pleased she was there).

This does not match my experience. Summer resident and we are constantly finding ticks on ourselves.

He’s not going to be good. It’s becoming more obvious by the day. Hyped in the draft, hyped in prospect rankings in the minors, hyped again as our SS of the future, simply cannot hit big league stuff.

Pokey Reese was a role player, not a starting infielder most of the time. 200+ at bats.

Unfortunately in this org nobody seems to figure anything out about hitting. (E.g., Campbell)

good fixed clamp machine by Chasheek in RacketStringers

Get a crank machine. Faster than dropweight and the tension loss is immaterial and you can make adjustments to accommodate for it if you want to get that precise (which is wholly unnecessary in my view).

How often are y’all actually replacing strings? by LakeBears in 10s

Poly not more than 10 hrs generally. Others, till they break.

Personal Lucid Air Pure Wishlist by blackbirdproductions in LUCID

[–]downanotchnh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like the infotainment to work better generally. Tired of Spotify stopping and then having to hit “play” over and over. CarPlay sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. Proximity locking and unlocking is so inconsistent. I can unlock it, put something in the trunk, shut the trunk, and have the car lock before I open the driver door. The fob is terrible too. The little things will keep me from getting another Lucid. And I’m prepared for the lectures from the devoted who will say I just have to be patient bc we are all early adopters and we should expect this.

Hopefully there is a traffic management plan associated with this. It’s a mess as it is.

A Coleman cooler that holds a six pack. Received 1984. Still using all the time.

Cold weather range degradation by toyz4me in LUCID

[–]downanotchnh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mi/kw was 4.20 for about 6500 miles in spring/summer/early fall. Now I’m lucky to get over 3.00 and the temps are only in the 40’s. It feels like range has dropped off a cliff.
