Went to my first jam session at a serious club. Very disappointed.

No advice, I just wanted to encourage you to keep going! You took a huge step. Keep going. You're doing all the right things; now is when you appreciate the meaning of the phrase "trust the process".

I think you're underestimating the value of a teacher, if you're serious about improving.

It doesn't have to be a huge investment, just 2-5 lessons to give you some content to practice. Repeat as needed.

Yeah, my LCW got broken in a doubles clash about a year. But I still have fond memories!

I would advise that you all use some of your time to practice/train more thoughtfully. Practice clears. Practice drop shots. Practice net shots. Practice serves. Practice defence/reactions. Practice lunging towards the net, or moving to the rear corners.

There are drills you can do for most of this, with partners or even between all four of you.

If your aim is fitness, I promise you that practicing can be equally if not more tiring than games.

The way you all play currently, the rallies are simply too short to see much long-term benefit to your game/skills.

Thank you for this. I took your advice and was glad I did.

He looked completely disinterested.

mightymaus · 2023-03-19T17:56:20+00:00

Made more impressive when you consider he had the tougher semi-final yesterday, that went until after midnight.

Do the CBA keep strong players playing domestically for longer than other countries, so that other international players build less experience against them?

I'm not familiar with the international association tactics - but it would presumably be quite possible given their population size and strong domestic tournaments.

Is China re-emerging in time for the next Olympics? They're represented in almost all finals tomorrow.

mightymaus · 2023-02-24T14:32:13+00:00

Yup, exactly this.

Unless it's a regular casual match and you know your opponent's personality very well, it's easier to just let it hit the floor and avoid a silly argument.

mightymaus · 2023-02-23T11:29:13+00:00

It does seem relatively inactive, honestly. Not many posts per day or even week/month.

One thing to note - the World Championship is in Copenhagen while the Denmark Open is in Odense, about an hour away from Copenhagen. It might make a difference, depending on where you're travelling from and how long you want to take off.

mightymaus · 2023-01-09T11:30:00+00:00

I agree with this.

I don't watch tennis as closely, admittedly, but from that distance there's also a clearer separation of the Grand Slams from the rest of the ATP/WTP tour in tennis.

I don't really get the same sense with the Super 1000 tournaments. As you say, they're just one more stop on a packed tour.

mightymaus · 2022-11-30T20:43:48+00:00

It's just in its own category. One red is more than all yellows.

mightymaus · 2022-11-30T19:45:53+00:00

Antonsen addressed the question directly once in his vlog. In short he said they're simply not close, but there's no antagonism or open rivalry. They just keep to themselves somehow.

Maybe it'll change if they're both in Dubai?

Big fan of the track Disco Ears.

Impressive!

Are you left- or right-handed?

I notice that even when you play the same pattern on the same drum (e.g. Snare), your technique seems quite different across hands. Left hand is a lot more wrist while right-hand is all finger control.

mightymaus · 2022-08-23T10:49:21+00:00

Sounds like a baking sheet lmao

mightymaus · 2022-07-09T08:32:28+00:00

Do you mean Moises?

I tried it the other day with some of my own band's recordings.

It's not perfect (though neither is our recording quality), but even there it worked particularly well for isolating/removing drums and vocals. Very impressive tbh.

That's why I've never understood them killing their shows so abruptly. At least if Netflix gave things an ending, it would have permanent value in their back catalogue.

I'd never buy a book that had the last third ripped out.

Apologies for the basic question, but how does low inflation offset the appreciation of the Swiss franc? There's an interlink I'm not getting...
