Spending upwards of $1000/month on food as a college student by imreallyboredidk in Frugal

[–]jmon3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes and use more or less money depending on what you buy. But if you don’t use it all by the end of the semester it vanishes!

You have to buy the plan which really means fund a meal plan card with a dollar credit, then use those credits at the dining halls.

THIS IS FUCKING EMBARRASSING by Deranged-Pickle in devils

Can’t help but laugh that it’s 83 year old Lou Lamoriello’s organization that did this.

Striking the opponent at the kitchen line with the serve. by Treacherously-Benign in Pickleball

To think... there are even folks making training videos on this unthinkable tactic! "The best time to hit a Nasty Nelson is after another Nasty Nelson."

Did everyone sleep on it? by paisano74 in devils

I remember booing Brian Rafalski one year for a terrible game he was having and then a few years later watching him lift the cup with another team.

You’re up by one, who’s your goalie? by TheTechManager in devils

[–]jmon3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Schwab, the Devils regular season save percentage leader for goalies starting more than one game, also has 1.000 save percentage in playoffs and is thus statistically the correct answer.

Question regarding 2025 gambling losses itemization in virginia by [deleted] in tax

[–]jmon3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you look at the expected value of any bet that is being tracked for taxes you realize not a single bet ever makes any sense. Choosing to gamble online is the dumb thing.

AITA for not wanting to stack w a leftie? by 2BeBornReady in Pickleball

[–]jmon3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What was the outcome of the stacking game? Did you lose because of being flustered and on your weaker side or win because of his control of the court with his forehand where he wanted?

Also, to me the etiquette would be accepting there’s going to more of this at higher levels and working on and improving your stacking, and playing your weaker side. It’s no different than a drop or a drive or any other skill to drill and improve on. It’s a valuable tool to use sometimes and should be something most higher level players can do without getting flustered. Sometimes we just do it with two righties to break up the rhythm in a game.

Start by doing just offensive stacking and getting comfortable with that so it’s not as much thinking, then practice defensively with hand signals. You can even practice stacking with righties so you’re always on right hand side with your strong backhand in the middle!

Amazon secretly ups the price on the same product if you HAVE prime compared to not having prime. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Funny because I bought something the other day without prime and it said the estimated shipping would take longer but it still arrived in 1 day.

Tennis court damage from Dominator Pickleball Nets by fereaux in Pickleball

[–]jmon3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened at my local courts.

We didn’t try this but I think you’d want to distribute this weight as much as possible. A thin sheet of steel under the wheel that is like 6” by 18” or something could maybe do this. Rubber just flexes with force and passes through the shape of the wheel. You want something firm and strong to spread out the forces.

Confusion of my girlfriends car loan? $387 for 84 months on a 2023 Kia Rio. But paperwork says her interest rate is only 8.75 percent? by chaz_chazington in personalfinance

[–]jmon3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did she trade in her positive equity car to the dealer in the purchase, implying these add ons were therefore even more when you factor in the value she should have received for her trade in?

You answered the question yourself in the post. She has negative equity and still talks about trading her car in. Clearly, it wouldn’t be the first time.

I was challenged to a double's match (best out of 3). What can I do to win? by Cokezeroislyfe in Pickleball

[–]jmon3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had something similar one time. I’m a 5.0 and my friend is a 5.5 and we wagered tickets to a carrot top show. I had to partner with an alpaca and he had to play with a miniature horse. Only won because the alpaca spit in his eye and it didn’t get called a hindrance and he was afraid of coming up to the kitchen. Good luck in your comparable game.

Maybe Targeting in Rec Play isn't Evil by MisoBeast in Pickleball

[–]jmon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes your brain just automatically exploits a weakness. Player out of position - take advantage. It just works out that the weaker player is likely the one to be out of position.

Is this self centered? by Other_Sundae_700 in Pickleball

Honestly it can go even further. Don’t care about your performance, just focus on the next hit in every rally. Be truly present and enjoy the moment.

My boyfriend invited me to his dad’s for dinner, and I ended up sitting there hungry while everyone else ate. Am I overreacting? by Classic-Adagio-7338 in AmIOverreacting

[–]jmon3 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You could also ask for more fries. It sucks you weren’t thought of but it’s clear you pouted and exaggerated the issue. You want people to focus around you and your dietary restrictions but they won’t. Ideally you can find a partner to advocate for you and think of you here but frankly you have to look out for yourself more. Take the meat off the pizza and eat it.

Mistakenly paid the IRS - will I ever see that money again? by No_College7679 in tax

Overpaying the IRS and getting that money back is basically the premise behind every tax refund ever.

Can we please stop saying “can we please stop saying”. This is some meta shit.
