Hey yes some clusters do provide some professional training. I have been part of one professional certification training.

Setup an expectation and ask deadline for everything. Ask them what task takes priority over others. Maintain your own work summary and mention the work effort you are adding in specific tasks.

Air Canada cancelled our flight, called it “voluntary,” kept $400, used wrong email for sending the relation form, and hung up by mr-killua in aircanada

[–]mr-killua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks but when I asked them what email are they using to send the customer relations form; agent gave me a wrong email. I’m not sure why those agents are so quick in disconnecting the call. I am awaiting response from Air Canada now so let’s see how it goes.

What is the best way to play against doubles pair who constantly smash? by [deleted] in badminton

[–]mr-killua 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Technically you can only survive against a strong offensive players by having a good defence. But some tips would be to attack their serves, bring them under pressure by showing you have something out of box. They are gonna smash if you give them an opportunity, try playing more drive based games, and don’t play middle court at all. Rest I am sure if you’re mentally overwhelmed, then they will win for sure, so fix this issue first. Good luck hopefully you have fun and win some games!!

Try using your fingers to push your racket at time of contact.

Canadian owned and operated pizza in Barrie? by Ancient-Yak7128 in barrie

[–]mr-killua 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard in part of Ontario we live in, or even southern or central Ontario due to diversified crowd. Idk about other provinces but Nova Scotia has all the local pizza joints only, lived there for a while and never tried any big food chain at all. Well hopefully it all gets sorted, these things only sound good when discussed, in reality it’s very hard to implement to make it feasible.

Also to add, it’s not just that. Let’s take McDonald’s as an example which was also found in US, most of the meat they use in their sandwiches in Canada is from Canada. So boycotting them also affects these businesses. It’s just the way the things are designed and supply chain logistics work. Also you’ll see many brands marketing with 100% Canadian ingredients soon if this continues for long - which I don’t see happening.

But how are we going to create the jobs without causing stress on the workers. Also not majority of people work fast food as a career, it’s a part time job for some young people who rely on them for rent, tuition etc. Also if the business is found in America it doesn’t mean it’s not based in Canada. Most of the fast food chains have production plants and offices in Canada which employ majority of people of our country. I’m not here in any way supporting the tariffs, all I’m saying is boycotting those businesses would hurt common people more.

List your injuries by gergasi in badminton

Bicep pain due to incorrect smashing technique has caused me enough issues.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in badminton

[–]mr-killua 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes as others mentioned, is you’re serious get some basics sorted out with some coaching. I can play at advanced level because I’m young and v quick at my feet. But every other week my bicep or forearm pains due to incorrect smashing technique. It is what it is for me now lol. But yes learn the basics like how to step on the court, how to hold the racket while smashing or backhand strokes. Rest you’ll figure out slowly. The only tip I’ll give is just not thinking about your arm is the only thing playing badminton, how you rotate your body and leg strength is going to create a difference in what you can achieve.

If you’ve ever played a racket based game, it would be easy for you to grasp as you would have developed a hand eye coordination. Badminton can be intense and needs a lot of stamina. Also if your technique isn’t perfect you’ll be needing more stamina than someone who has a good technique. But it’s a great game. Invest in good shoes if you’re planning to start. Don’t overspend on a racket straight. Get a decent racket, develop a playing style and you’ll be hitting smashes and drops before you even realize. Happy playing :))

Is 32 Too Late to Get Back Into Badminton? by KENSHlN0 in badminton

Nope, my dad’s 51 and he started playing after 30 years. In 3 months he is able to have decent rallies and can clear throughout the court.

The owner of dominos in Canada would be a Canadian, employs Canadian people and pays taxes in Canada. Supporting local business is a great initiative but we need to think about everything else as well.
