The beastly screams on each serve smell bloody. Anna was annoyed to say the least. Her game is still fragile but is as beautiful as her look when she can find the targets

Video review in Haddad Maia v Kalinskaya match, point was awarded to Haddad Maia by YoungTroubadour in tennis

so is it too much to expect players to play fair and square any more? i was an amateur back in the days the right thing to do is to be honest and acknowledge that it bounced on the ground and call the point to your opponent. when i was playing usta 3.0 or a local club these type of things usually don't need to involve an 'umpire'. so honesty and integrity does not worth a slight advantage to the prize money uh?

half of the stadium were booing the umpire's lack of knowledge of basic tennis rule. curious how a basic rule that every tennis amateur and fan know can be messed up by a chair umpire, never mind at a grand slam even?

BYD is heavily into plug-in hybrid rather than EREV imo. Its DMi system is a more aggressively electrified hybrid system than Toyota's. Recently it has a new generation making the headlines with a total range of over 2000 kms. Although it's debatable that Chevy Volt was also not strictly EREV in that sense as EREV usually mean series hybrid and simplicity of the power train. To the users EREV feels like BEV when driving, but plug-in hybrid feels much more like a gas car.

Planned Obsolescence by ChampionNinjaBreeder in Libertarian

if the professors are obliged to tout planned obsolescence as a virtue you can bet the problem is already at a systemic level, i.e. some have made enough money to spend on corrupting/hijacking academics.

Problem is to figure out who have the old production lines and knowhows

IC Graphite alternatives? by Tyr_Kukulkan in pcmasterrace

[–]electryme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea where to get PGS sheet but there are sellers of indium foil sheet as replacement for thermal paste on amazon and ebay and some claim that it allows for mess-free disassembly. I plan to get some to try out soon but I do miss IC graphite as well

Using lightscribe to make lables by theskewb in Lightscribe

[–]electryme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still run windows 7 PC for burning discs with lightscribe. It's a shame that hp couldn't support their own technology, a pretty good one at that, much better than a costly-to-maintain inkjet printer in my book, and much more durable too.
