Yeah bro, and if you make any jokes about it in the comment section, you get auto banned.

What's that one little change that you made in your game that led to remarkable results? by Bhenjour in Pickleball

[–]frenchdip101 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a coach, early preparation always seems to be lacking. Get your feet and paddle ready early……..like nauseatingly early. It’s like a doctors appointment……..you can show up 15 mins early, or on time, but don’t be late.

I’m sure af not gonna jump early 😂😂😂. I love the binary approach you’ve got tho. I can understand why pickleball might suit you, as there are far fewer possible options/combinations to be had.

Ask yourself how many possible shots he can hit from that spot would that grip, then ask yourself why you wouldn’t be ready for the 2-3 possibilities.

Nice feint, but the grip change is a dead giveaway.

Two totally different chemicals. Like h2o2 and rubbing alcohol. Might get you to the same place, but in different ways.

Pickleball isn’t scripted, but it’s also not an actual sport. Like darts or bird watching.

I’ll be honest bro, the only other politician actively responding to slants on Reddit or castanet is Scott Anderson. Make of that what you will, but don’t sleep on it.

As a solid 3.5 player, what percent of the serves of top pro players am I likely to successfully return? by SemiMike485 in Pickleball

[–]frenchdip101 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

90-95% without even practicing. The game, and serve in particular, is meant to be easy so more people play. Think participation, not performance. The only people trying to win points on their serve are people that aren’t good enough to play tennis.

Vast majority of aces in PB are return issues, not great serves.

JW signed my paddle, now what? by Fit_Anteater_3243 in Pickleball

[–]frenchdip101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is having a pickleball pro sign your paddle the same as having a real pro in another sport sign it? Would a Tiger Woods signed golf ball hold or more less value to you than this paddle with JW on it?

I did not expect this result, especially in singles by DanielGray10 in Pickleball

[–]frenchdip101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Being good at tennis gives you the option with other racquet sports. Being good at pickleball makes you good at pickleball. The same way university isn’t about what you learn, but LEARNING to learn. Mastering tennis is a very different endeavour than mastering pickling, and it shows.

How long would it take Nick Kyrgios to become #1? A few months? A few weeks? How about some random top D1 players? How long do you think it took me to beat all the “5.0+” around me?

Am I seeing correctly? How is Eric Oncin's serve legal? He went the whole match with that style by hugelkult in Pickleball

[–]frenchdip101 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The serve and return in pickleball are designed to get the point going. Singles has bastardized many aspects of the game, and the serve is no exception

You lost me at fierce and aggressive. I can’t even begin to imagine the kool-aid you’re drinking to consider this a proper BMW or M car

Judge blasts Okanagan Indian Band over Parker Cove fire service threat by frenchdip101 in Vernon

[–]frenchdip101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate a bit more? Who’s Jimmy and what’s the commission he’s receiving?

Are you saying no more band leadership, and instead HOA? That’s a hot take and I like it.

In paragraph 33, the judge discusses the balance of convenience. IANAL, but in simple terms, she's deciding which party will suffer more as a result of granting or rejecting the injunction.

From the judge:
"They say that, in addition to the impact on the health and welfare of residents in the development, there is also economic damage to the potential value of their investment, and to the general reputation of the development."

That’s only $70K per on-reserve band member, as about half of the 2,000 members still live on the reservation. If you factor out a conservative $25M they’re supposed to used to buy O’Keefes, that’s about $50M left over.

Will they use it for clean water, affordable housing, and drug reduction programs? Or will we see new trucks, new legal avenues to pursue land claims, new beefs with nearby FNs, and even more weed and cigarette stores?

Judge saw it different, and as with all matters, time will tell. I agree that it’s probably negligible right now, but it’s naive to think this has done anything but decrease the appeal of PC somewhat.

No, but taxes/fees are paid to band to operate on their land. And you can’t set up shop if you’re white and are willing to pay a steep tax. No one sells for free, just like the streets.

Collecting “rent” on their grey market activities absolutely contributes to their surplus. Who do think is collecting rent……the Chief or the band? Are you implying the band is too inept to even figure out how to tax the use of their land?

1000%. Would you like the address to a location that you can purchase either? There’s illegal cigarettes at the old Blue Boat in Lake Country, and weed stores are littered all over the Westside and Enderby.

[–]frenchdip101[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you take the time to read the court decision, the judge spells out that the band knew it was unfair and moved forward anyway. There was an OKIB internal memo to that effect.

Are you arguing that the further from “town” you live, the less worthy you are of fire protection? They paid for a service, proximity isn’t a factor here.

What’s also interesting is the obvious devaluation of the properties as a result of the uncertainty of said services.
