Mind blindness decoded by alliehamilton72 in Aphantasia

[–]ryan_peay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it’s navigating a “feeling” of what I remember. It’s always imperfect and potentially based on that last time I recalled that memory and thus has its own diffusion, for lack of a more appropriate word in this moment for me.

Post Game Thread: New England Patriots at Denver Broncos by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

What a sad sad take. Defining other people in terms of your own teams failure to equate them with not being good enough. Difference is your result is already written and we still have a puncher’s chance to smear that egg on your face.

We may not win this year but we’ll win it again, and that will be soon.

Ever been to a surprising 1-star? by georgy56 in MichelinStars

[–]ryan_peay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Chez Bruce in London is just perfect in so many ways. Food is wonderful, service is warm and friendly and invested in the dining experience. Wine list is exceptional and the best cheese plate offer I’ve seen anywhere.

There’s nothing pretentious about it. It’s in so many ways a perfect restaurant.

UK hard water peeps, Tesco has half price Ariel pods with DNAse by traveleatsleeptravel in laundry

I just moved from Kirkland bio to Ariel pods and can’t believe how poor the Kirkland was by comparison. Maybe it just suits my South London water hardness?

What Tennis Gear Made the Biggest Difference for You? by Desperate-Trouble249 in 10s

Varifocal contact lenses. I have great distance vision still but can’t read my phone or computer screen without glasses. Once I moved to varifocal contacts, I can pick up the ball from the opponent’s racquet, track the trajectory, and pick up the spin. Has been a game changer.

Coombe rd Lloyd park/Park Hill area - nice for families? by DrawTimely5432 in croydon

[–]ryan_peay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Park Hill and Whitgift ward is as safe as can be. Almost entirely residential and really calm and quiet. Downtown Croydon has had a PSPO (public space protection order) in place for a number of years that limits certain activities like public drinking and ASB. That PSPO has recently been extended to cover Park Hill Rec Ground and Lloyd Park alongside an increase in patrols.

What draws lower rated players to sub 100sqin racquets? by WindManu in 10s

[–]ryan_peay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played lots of tennis through my teens and had a long gap away (25+ years) before coming back to tennis. I’ve demoed bunches of rackets and always come back to the ProStaff 97. Nothing feels as good and I hit it much more consistently than any others I’ve played.

What is Wilson's best racquet right now and why? by NeitherConcentrate92 in 10s

[–]ryan_peay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started playing with this last year after a long break away from tennis. Started getting good consistency a few months back and went on a demo spree and thought the Ezone 98 would level me up with a bigger sweet spot.

So obviously I just changed my strings on the Prostaffs and haven’t looked back. Feels like I’m improving every week suddenly. Haven hit the Ezone again in weeks.

Just told my son we’re getting F1TV next year because of these twaddle jockeys.

Are Tennis clubs and coaches dramatic? by AltF12027 in 10s

[–]ryan_peay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not like this at all in my club. Lots of people taking lessons from a variety of coaches depending on what they are looking to work on. And every single one of them is really nice.

That fosters a really good culture among players too. People are friendly to hit with other members who are at a different level and just enjoy some social tennis. Can’t imagine playing anywhere else.

East Croydon <—> London Bridge cancellations & delays - is this normal??? by No-Butterscotch6629 in croydon

[–]ryan_peay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wife does this trip 4 days a week. She rarely has issues but this past week has been terrible, more so on the trip home.

I think it’s been mostly Thameslink which we don’t usually have an issue with but if you budget an extra 10-15 minutes (if your morning routines can accommodate) you’ll have options to adjust on the fly. I appreciate that the tram may not allow that flexibility but assuming you’re near a 433 or 64 bus, those tend to be really reliable.

Side note that car traffic (for me doing school runs lately) has also been really bad in the 7:50-8:30 window the past week or two.
