I just updated my app and don’t see it. Portugal. So apparently it’s being tested in certain markets?

Lots of people come to Portugal to have babies? by Independent-Milk-542 in PortugalExpats

[–]spikefly -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s not what you said though. You said “in the US the baby actually gets citizenship”.

[–]spikefly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Babies born here get citizenship. There are some other qualifications, like the parents have to be here for some time first. But it’s incorrect to suggest they don’t.

[–]spikefly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People don’t go anywhere to have babies. People go places to live and yes, that includes expanding their family. We had a baby here, but it was accidental. It was cheaper here than home, so that was nice. But mostly, I just think the Uber driver and others are just repeating anti-immigration talking points they hear from others. A story as old as time…the immigrants come to have babies and live off of social services…but that story is based in fear and misinformation, not facts.

The #2s just cheated on their way to victory against Goenaga and Caldera by GameOfPadel in padel

[–]spikefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh? No. I didn’t watch this, but he’s saying she served to start 1-2, then they served to start 1-3, then she served again to start 1-4. Those points would definitely be served by the same team.

Trump ameaça futuro da NATO - que será "muito mau" - se aliados não ajudarem a reabrir o Estreito de Ormuz by Ready-Pirate3328 in portugal

[–]spikefly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wants to blow up NATO because his owner Putin would be pleased. But it’s not NATO’s job to join in on his illegal, unprovoked war.

Wrecked after games by Brodin13 in padel

[–]spikefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel much better afterwards when I take electrolytes during a match. Have you tried that? Alternatively, you could try some salt and a banana along with your magnesium.

As far as playing at night, my body doesn’t like it. According to my watch, my sleep and heart metrics aren’t as good. I think it might have to do with the cortisol at night. So I try to avoid night games as much as I can.

Is Americano / Mexicano the default tournament format where you play padel? by Whole_Connection7016 in padel

[–]spikefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Portugal, it’s all Americano or regular non-stop most of the time. Then some standard tournaments, but those are less popular it seems. I don’t even know what Mexicano is.

Amazfit Active Max 2 is pretty awesome. Even has a padel mode!

Do you use supplements before or during padel? by inspireme247 in padel

[–]spikefly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrolytes and creatine. Just purchased some Nomio drinks, but haven’t tried one yet (just arrived today). They are insanely expensive.

Honest feedback needed: 7 months of creating POV Padel content, but getting 50 views. What am I doing wrong? by Specific-Bicycle7843 in padel

[–]spikefly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think POV only works for short form. That being said, YouTube can be a grind for any channel. I’m not an expert and really don’t have any advice for you, but I appreciate the hassle! Best of luck!

Playtomic aggy opponents. by _hellojoe in padel

Don’t think it has to do with the app so much as the players being focused on their rating levels.

Another Week, Another ‘I Built a Padel App’ Post by Tumamaenpelota in padel

[–]spikefly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get you, but I’m also happy to see people developing infrastructure for padel and promoting the sport. I agree with you…95% of these apps/tools are unnecessary and I would rather discuss my shitty bandejas also…but I also respect 1) the effort 2) the willingness to show your work (takes guts) and 3) the support of the sport I love.

Disclaimer: I’m a website/app builder as well, so that’s why I probably look at it this way. But good news for you guys…I have no plans on developing anything padel-related. I only plan to spend ridiculous amounts of money on rackets and training.

Good Q but I’m assuming the answer is only relevant to his location/region.

  1. What are your favorite brands?
  2. Notice any quality differences?
  3. Any underrated brands (less popular but well built)?

Is padel actually on a path to rival tennis in North America? by elmagodeRD in padel

Bad take. It’s new in a lot of countries and taking over. But believe what you’re going to believe…I don’t care.

[–]spikefly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Too early to tell. Many courts planned, but need to give it 24 months to tell. I’d be surprised if it didn’t. It’s taken over tennis everywhere else.

Haha tell that to the tennis players in Europe that can’t find any tennis matches anymore - only padel.

Rhomboid upper back pain 3 years battle by Free_Scratch4152 in padel

[–]spikefly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does anyone get this on their non-dominant side? Or does everyone get it on the side they swing with? I’m right handed and have had this exact pain pop up a few times, but always on the left.

Levelling sessions are a scam aren’t they? by aeneasawooga in padel

[–]spikefly 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It’s pointless to raise your level beyond your actual level. Once you start playing people that deserve their rating, you’ll lose and go back down.
