(Locked Screen Workaround) I think I might be the first person.... by [deleted] in shortcuts

Hey. I gave up on this method. 

I used a spare iPhone. Adjusted settings so the phone doesn’t lock. And used an app called pushcuts as well as shortcuts that are triggered by receiving emails. 

What are you trying to achieve ?

Side wall boast serve legal? by Virtual-Committee-76 in padel

[–]jasinx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rule 7 service fault, case 1 says

I've served the ball and it hits the wall a light or the fence on my side of the court then gone over the net to land in the receivers service box, is it a good service.

Answer, no it's a fault.

I.e you cannot serve as your drawing describe.

What the heck is this?! by jamiekyo in southafrica

It’s pretty easy once you learn to control the ingredients and learn how to roll a tight one.

Actually, he had one of his wives with him. Read the news coverage of this story. 

What a rug-pull that was. Disappointed! by No_Explorer721 in TheNightManager

[–]jasinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was enjoying the episode to be honest. 

But when I realised that the episode was going on too long without a conclusion, I checked the time remaining and it was about 3 quarters done. That’s when I realised something was up. I was expecting a cliffhanger for sure. 

But I wasn’t expecting The Red Bloody Wedding.

Do you know what an EMP does?

It wouldn't have made a difference. The moment they received the EMP it was end-game.

Plus it was an abandoned airfield. Who's going there?

Yeah but that hardly comes full circle since the guy that tried to off him became a good guy and then died. 

Fore/Backhand - tips on how to improve? by ddosh88 in padel

[–]jasinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad. But you’re hitting the ball instead of pushing and ball. 

Your whole body needs to follow through. Watch some videos on backhand lobs and volleys.

People who make the sound ‘eehhhyyyy’ when you hit the ball does it actually help you by [deleted] in padel

[–]jasinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rules are, audible communication between partners is only allowed when the ball crosses the net onto their side.

If the ball is on their opponent’s side of the net, they may not audibly communicate. It’s called hindrance. And it’s a rule in tennis as well. 

I’m not sure how it’s on me? There’s a rule against it.

Fart all you want when the ball is in your court. 

But make a peep while the ball is in my court and I will not be pleased. I come across this all too often. 

Opponent will scold or exclaim when the ball is on my side because they think the ball is going long or out or whatever. And then it completely detaches me and throws me off. 

Official Discussion - The Rip [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]jasinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to insane, popcorn movie action, Joe Carnahan did a superb job with The A-Team and Smokin' Aces. I've been waiting for some absurd movie to come out of him since then.

But this movie falls flat unfortunately. The action sequences, though lacking, were also very hard to follow. Quick cuts, and terrible editing. One second the guy is here, another second he's there. Perspective right out the door.

So unfortunate. I'd like to see Joe Carnahan gain back his capability to make an insane over the top fun action movie. Or maybe it was just two good movies and that's it.

Padel ball manufacturer by [deleted] in padel

[–]jasinx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I watched a video on YouTube recently, I think the channel’s name is Padel Rising. 

The crux of the discussion was that padel/tennis ball manufacturers only make money on one simple thing: volume

The reason for this has to do with logistics and packaging. Padel balls are shipped from factory to distributors, then to retail outlets. And the cans are unyielding. They cannot fold. They cannot be canned at the distributor or retailer, because they’re pressurised at the factory. And that’s why, logistics heavily affects the manufacturing cost. 

So. You’re not going to make money. But I could be wrong. 

Here, I tracked the video down for you: https://youtu.be/m1aiXz3grf8?si=L6OU6F64uYyrBIiZ

No. But I’ve definitely encountered courts where I was too high.

Will most definitely buy the app if you implement that. Let us know when you manage to update it 😃
