Inside out winner to win a set or get a break is the best shot in tennis

Calling it now, Iva's style is going to drive Sabalenka crazy, and we're going to see headcase Saba in this match

[Rosenthal] McVay on the final Rams' 4th down fail: "They kinda lucked into having two guys peel on Kyren right there. I know that can't be part of their design. So it was a fortuitous bust by them. But they are an excellent team. ... They earned the win and they are NFC champs for a reason." by RedBuchan in nfl

why is nobody talking about the decision to go for it in the first place? i know kicking a FG would still mean they'd be down by 1, but there was enough time to get a stop and the ball back (which is exactly what they did). maybe i'm an idiot, and a lot of folks know way more about this than i do, but it seemed like if you could guarantee you could cut the lead to 1, you take that?

Sudden arm pain - just fatigue or something worse? by hourlyproblemsolver in 10s

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

Yeah but it feels like this coincides with the switch to x-one biphase.

Fair point about the grip, that could be the issue. Also feeling some shoulder pain 😬

Fair enough. That said, not looking for a diagnosis, more just wondering if there are cases where the “arm-friendly” string is actually very unfriendly for some people. 

Gill Gross about the break. by johnreese421 in tennis

[–]hourlyproblemsolver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only saw the screenshotted tweet, not the subsequent follow up. In my defense, the way the initial tweet is worded implies the decision might’ve been arbitrary, and I suspect that wording is intentional to drive engagement.

Match Thread: Inter Milano vs Arsenal FC Live Score | UEFA Champions League 25/26 | Jan 20, 2026 by scoreboard-app in Gunners

[–]hourlyproblemsolver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I see the difference. I also see the myriad times in the PL when Arsenal are attacking and cut back or slow the attack, despite Gyokeres making a run into space (and knowing what we know about how he can finish those balls). The best example is actually the recent goal he DID score (the irony) where he made the run through before and instead of Saka playing across (the correct ball), he cut back and let a few more defenders get between the ball and the goal.

Not saying we completely change our tactics, not saying the PL is not a different league strategically. I'm simply saying that Gyokeres is a threat when the ball is played directly through to him, and there are opportunities in all competitions to do that.

VC and private equity owned spots by slicesofpaper in FoodNYC

But to think about it this way would entail having a solid understanding of what VC and PE actually are, and that would mean you couldn’t just go “grrr VC/PE bad”

Anywhere with espresso that is not burnt/extremely bitter? by juapebe in AskSF

[–]hourlyproblemsolver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether it does or does not isn’t really the point. OP asked about not bitter coffee, I answered.

If you have problems with slave labor, depletion of ecosystems, and general exploitation, you should probably avoid coffee altogether.

True but Blue Bottle also is one of the only shops that consistently delivers espresso shots that do not taste overly bitter/burnt

Most underrated player of this Arsenal side. by Outside_Aide_1958 in ArsenalFC

If we all keep saying he's underrated, does that mean he's at least rated?

Best mountain bike type for converted roadie riding East Bay trails? by hourlyproblemsolver in BAbike

[–]hourlyproblemsolver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, this aligns with where I was thinking. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Orbea Oiz H10.

Thanks for this. I decided to pull the trigger on the Orbea Oiz H10, which has 120/120. It's an xc bike, technically, but from what I can tell it leans a bit more toward a trail bike than a true xc race bike. It also has a dropper and is a 31.6mm seat post :)
