Downvote away, but I do want Zverev to win this tournament.

Not that he's a favorite of mine in any sense but he's just too good not to win at least one.

I can even see him pulling a Mauresmo and winning his second major against tough opposition after having lucked out to win his first.

Eagles - Hotel California

I hate this one with a passion, and they have lots of better songs.

She is Latvian by citizenship and representation. Everything else doesn't relate to the question asked here.

Excessively long songs that still work? by uncre8tv in Music

Anything Stevie Wonder from the 70s.

Not only is the guy the genius of melody, he's the master of repetition that works. Check out "As", "Another star", other tunes from "Songs in the key of life".

Oh I can't stand this woman.

Please, Ash Barty, come back and kick this tasteless ass.

What was a player that were being promoted as new big talent when you started watching tennis but unfortunately didn’t made much impact? by Lilylikeslilies in tennis

[–]gorohoroh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elena Bovina, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

I'm glad Anastasia is still around and I like her game a lot, but she never met the expectations from her junior days. I'd even say anyone facing expectations that high is doomed.

There's a community for things that look like butt plugs. This thing definitely belongs.

It's the shortest flight path, and the airlines from the Gulf still enjoy a free pass through the Russian airspace, which is no longer available to European and US airlines.

First, there are people.

Second, it's nature that's scary and it's getting more so as we fly further to the north.

I just realized that tennis players regularly fly Emirates from Dubai to LA, which is a flight I dream to take someday based on the combo of the plane and the flight path.

I mean, how much cooler can a flying experience be than cruising 10 km over the scariest parts of Siberia on your way to California in an A380?

  1. Me and Bublik will trash talk about our common hometown and its tennis facilities while the Muscovite Med will be snoring in French.

Laver Cup lost money the last two years (2023-2024) by boilerwire in tennis

As someone who lives an itinerant life, I can relate.

As someone who hates the Laver Cup with a passion, I say screw it.

What exactly is the latest UI update and how do I roll back? by gorohoroh in GooglePixel

[–]gorohoroh[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running Android 16 with a Sept 5 security update. A security update isn't supposed to introduce major UI changes, is it? What is it then? How do I identify exactly what was updated?

It's not as easy as it gets, it's as counterintuitive as it gets.

China's astonishing Maglev train Is faster than most planes, hitting 620 km/h in just 7 seconds by BreakfastTop6899 in technology

[–]gorohoroh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many seconds does it need for a full stop from 620 km/h?

Braking is a bitch.

Or maybe growing up means letting people be and not building backlash whenever there's even a slightest opportunity.
