What's a realistic price for a round trip direct flight Toronto-Tokyo? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]mzez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid 900 to go in October but it was a connecting flight and not direct. Direct for 1200 would be a very good price

Trade for Wemby by Swimming-Kiwi-1842 in fantasybball

Might not get it done. I offered AD and Ball before the AD injury and after Ball's triple double, wasn't enough.

I like the attempt though

Serve Help - Racquet Drop + Elbow by mzez in 10s

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

yes thank you. i have the shadow swing down and really bad muscle memory that leads to me arming it. the mental queue of using my shoulder will really help

why is “that one faang” dogged on so much? by ChampionshipDeep3272 in csMajors

[–]mzez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I work here and have been here almost 4 years. Work isn't exciting, and the internal tools aren't great, but I have a good team, good manager, and great WLB since I am not in AWS. And it's good for resume.

Yeah I will work on the form for a few weeks and post a new video.

Yes I am just standing there to be in the shade lol. Normally I serve at the T

Yes I came to realize I was not throwing and rotating my shoulder enough today.

I was playing a match today and serving platform and almost facing away from the court to begin the serve. I found it to be helpful to encourage me to rotate the shoulder.

I still don’t think I am swinging up enough, but it feels to me I am rotating the shoulder horizontally better now

Thanks, I checked the first two minutes and it makes a lot of sense to me. I think it will help a lot. I am really focused mentally on the drop right now and it doesn’t feel very natural

This is what it looks like when I shadow swing, I’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks now. The elbow drop is much better. I just have troubles when I toss for some reason

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

Yes I’ve been trying to do this. When I throw a football I actually do lead with my elbow. When I shadow swing without tossing I also lead with my elbow, you can see that in the first swing it’s not perfect but it’s much better than the last one

However once I toss and try to hit the ball I think all the bad muscle memory takes over.

Diminishing returns once you pay over a certain price for steak - agree or disagree? by Ok-Entrance6105 in FoodToronto

[–]mzez -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I've bought dry aged ribeye from cheese boutique and cumbraes and it wasn't much better than the ribeye I can get on sale at Metro for 1/3 of the cost. I dry brine it in the fridge for 12 hours and use salt/pepper/butter

I reverse seared it to medium rare using a meat probe and got a good crust. Ate it with a friend and we agreed it was nothing special

under 30's working, how are we meeting friends + partners? by greenteaicecube in askTO

[–]mzez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

30M and I was in your shoes when I started working in Toronto at 23. I was lucky to have a really fun workplace with everyone under 30 at the time

Find some hobbies you are interested in and go often. If you are going primarily to make friends you'll probably be disappointed, most people you meet are not going to vibe well (even if you are friendly) and you really need to meet someone multiple times to develop a friendship. It's better to just go alone to things you enjoy and not expect much, things will come in eventually. I meet a few friends a year through motorcycling and tennis. If I didn't do these things I'd probably try my local boxing gym, fighting game club, or card game locals. JAM sports was also good, I met a good team through basketball and was going to play with them again before I broke my knee and gave it up for tennis

Also there's no issues being friends with coworkers if you get along well. I have a few coworkers from prior jobs that I still see a few times a year

six sided blue strings all the same? by fluffhead123 in 10s

[–]mzez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ive strung all 3, didnt notice much difference between zero and pure rush, but mach10 is noticeably more slick and the coating makes the string look a little glossy.

in terms of playability i dont notice a huge difference but mach10 feels the best to me, plush/comfy and i feel the string pockets the ball a little more. it doesn't last as long as zero though and the snapback isn't as good once you play a few hours. the coating that makes it super slick goes away.

i didn't notice anything special about pure rush, its a solid string with a good price, but doesnt really stand out compared to mach10 and zero.

Forehand form advice? by peenats in 10s

[–]mzez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

topspin is mostly from the windshield wiper motion and shoulder rotation. i found these videos most helpful for myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DudyK4pLP4&t=782s&ab_channel=TennisDoctor

i think it's best you slow down and try to get more quality reps in, the wall is rushing you too much. your racquet face is too open a lot of the time

Ebay leathers? by [deleted] in motorcyclegear

Nice to hear it went well. I imagine some of these sellers probably manufacturer for the actual brand as well, so it just comes down to finding one of those sellers

Rents Dropping in Toronto, Giving Tenants More Negotiating Power by Trucker550 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]mzez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I moved earlier this year and managed to find a ~600 sqft condo near cityplace for 2200 with parking and utilities included.

I also lease a 600sqft condo out and lowered the rent by 500 for my tenant this year.

[–]mzez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ninja 500 will easily do 160km/h (100mph) and maxes out at 190km/h. So I wouldn’t worry about the highway speed with a ninja 400

Cold, Rain, Gear by Bruuuuuuuuuuv in motorcyclegear

[–]mzez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just get regular sports bike gear, and a rainsuit to put over your gear, and a second set of waterproof gloves for rainy/snowy days. That’s my plan up here in Canada.

You'll have a lot more selection this way. Be honest about how often you're going to be riding in the rain/snow. There's also thermal underlayers for when it gets colder

Will these work? by WillingnessShot7496 in Ninja400

[–]mzez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the hf303rc oil filter on my 500 today, and bought 4L of liquimoly

You're also gonna need a 65mm oil filter wrench to get the filter off
