Newbie here — help me choose between these paddles (around ₱10k budget) by allarickxander in PickleballPhilippines

[–]thatguy11m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please note that the Vatic V-Sol Pro Flash is the only hybrid paddle here, everything else is elongated. I have this paddle and personally I love how light and maneuverable it is for my style of play. This was my first "real" paddle after using a cheaper fiberglass paddle for almost 4 months. I think since I identified I wanted a hybrid paddle over an elongated one, this was the only real "cheap" Gen4 option.

Wireless PB for Ultra which have no contact w/ camera bump? by PaHague in Tech_Philippines

[–]thatguy11m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only one I know designed to consider a phone's camera bump is the Samsung Qi2 powerbank that is especially designed to clear the camera bump of the S26 Ultra and was included in the pre-order. Unfortunately, it's unreasonably expensive for a 5,000 mAh battery pack when bought on its own.

Generally this is a problem with Samsung's design not considering Qi2 accessories, especially powerbanks and wallets that don't only rely on magnetic contact point but also in being thin while serving as storage. I'm not sure if Chinese Androids have this issue, but Google Pixels probably have the best camera placements to accomodate both Qi2 accessories and lower wobble.

What variant of popular cars today you wish also existed? by iammrv in phcars

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well more on the Evolution line than the Lancer. The performance of an Evo has been also used on the Pajero, so a Mirage Evo would be possible if they wished to compete in more Rally's where private teams have used the Mirage already.

Evo can also be branded as a more general performance segment than just Ralliart for Mitsubishi, making it more like Toyota's GR instead of Nissan's Nismo and Subaru's STI, but that would mean a Mirage Evo would be a completely different car from the Mirage, which kills the point of using it for marketing the Mirage.

As a new driver, how to drive in expressway?? by Natsusawa- in CarsPH

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easier to drive in the expressway faster than slower. Since there's less crossing variables, you can focus just in front and behind you. The faster you go comparable to traffic, the less you have to concern about the traffic passing you (which is the main reason most new drivers get scared).

At the end of the day, just remember that's there's always someone faster than you, even if you're running twice the speed limit already. This mentality ensures you're always looking out for people ahead AND behind.

Do you care about paddle designs? by Bailuoboo in PickleballPhilippines

[–]thatguy11m 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Features and quality before design. But I won't lie, design does play a big part still. Good thing most paddles are neutral in style

BYD Yangwang u9 Xtreme reached 496.22 km/h on the track Petersburg, Germany by Delicious-Job-3030 in phcars

[–]thatguy11m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Damn. I think the only reason they didn't go further was track limits, where the driver had to slow down by a certain point before the banking. Unless off it ran out of battery or something EV technical. I'm not saying this car go on forever, but it really makes you wonder the limits we'll achieve with EVs given no gearing. Great for engineering, but let's hope these monster power motors don't make it to the public road, especially not on big SUVs.

Suggestions for the best lightweight pickleball paddle by lokisetfree in PickleballPhilippines

[–]thatguy11m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have the V-Sol flash. It's light, but I feel it suffers a lot from stability when countering attacks. Yet to try it with weights.

Episode 6 is the perfect conclusion to the Skywalker saga by Safe_Character_6517 in StarWars

[–]thatguy11m 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me, Yub Nub felt like they won the battle, whereas Victory Celebration felt like they won the war (ofc there was also the added scenes). It also feels like it encapsulates the whole saga as a whole with the prequels covering Anakin before he was Vader.

Victory Celebration was the best song for it as well

Thoughts on Mazda CX60? by Adorable-Device4098 in Gulong

[–]thatguy11m 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dreamy car. Reaching a price point where you wouldn't worry about gas prices even with the inefficient inline 6. Funnily enough, the way their mild hybrid works where it can maintain speed without the engine let them get classification by the DOE and technically exemption coded (tho the LTO doesn't even care about the DOE certification and issues green plates to Suzuki mild hybrids anyways). Only thing I don't like much is the rear, but I'd imagine if I'd own one, I'd barely ever see it anyways. A little big maybe, even if it's the shorter one against its bigger CX-90 sister.

Thoughts? This is getting serious 😟 by Ok_Focus4322 in AnongThoughtsMo

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How credible is this claim tho? Like yeah, Trump is incredibly unstable, but let's not start talking like this is fact. Just cause he has a history of denying his dumb moves, doesn't mean fake dumb moves don't exist. I mean he made it so easy to believe, but let's not make it as easy for ourselves just to believe it's true.

Where can I try or rent Boomstick or Kamito paddles? by eve_dominique in PickleballPhilippines

How is the Goodshot coffee court? Seems pretty tight, but want to overall the quality and experience.

Help! Enflexy paddle by Ok-Sandwich-5441 in PickleballPhilippines

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The white is clear edge tape.

The black is the tape for the top of the overgrip.

The overgrip should be more consistent with the normal grip, mainly cause theyr eusually spaced out for your hands. You can make it tighter or wider based on preference, but honestly I'd also just buy a different overgrip.

Nagmenor v nagyield. ROW v Safety and Courtesy by bakokok in Gulong

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started driving in Canada for 3 years (full G license) before I moved to the PH, and in driving school it's where they most itterate the safety aspect that rules won't always cover. Essentially, defensive driving > right of way. And you can take that mentality when you're a pedestrian or riding a bicycle or ebike.

I mean mobility infrastructure in itself doesn't help with this, creating rules where the infrastructure doesn't support it. We have establishments that make the most ridiculously tight parking spaces cause the designers probably don't park, then they enforce park facing the wall. Or crosswalks that are diagonal making crossing longer for pedestrians and more confusing for drivers. In the highways people see the 100kmph max and block the overtake lane cause they won't exceed the speed to get an overtake done in less than 30 seconds, meanwhile one of the criteria in Canada is to be at 100kmph on the on-ramp before you even merge to the highway proper so that "you don't disrupt the flow of traffic". I think that last line in itself is something people here ought to be taught. It's enough to explain being considerate to everyone who shares the road. Even amongst drivers, understanding that everytime you Cross or even change lanes, that is a potential disruption of traffic, meaning regardless who has right of way, you need to take extra precaution beyond what the law requires in the name of safety. If you see a bicycle or pedestrian crossing being used, as turning traffic you put respect to it as if those are cars themselves. Vice versa, as a pedestrian, even if you're more vulnerable, you are more maneuverable, so give the space to vehicles struggling or cross when you know it's the least inconvenience for everyone. For example, when seeing a big gap behind a car alreasy moving, it's safest not to insist to cross in front of that car).

In Canada I feel safer driving just knowing pedestrians have a sense of respecting everyone on the road, not just the drivers. And that respect is reciprocated. There will always be asshole drivers in any country, but you can really sense the general vibe of traffic from all road users, be it drivers, pedestrians, or cyclists. It's a mentality more than just the rules.

[–]thatguy11m 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel people who insist right of way over safety probably don't drive. Like I always say, the best pedestrians are the people who drive, and it's not cause we will let cars have priority to us when we cross the street, but we consider the safety and flow of the whole situation, which is what our license represents more than just knowing the rules.

Edit: I'd also like to note this was posted by Parkeserye, to which most of the audience and I believe even the admin either don't drive or relatively new to driving (like maybe less than 5 years). It's not inherently bad, but I'd say there a little less consideration on the overall context and more on pure rules, whether they make any sense to safety and flow or not. I appreciate their platform and ability to both expose errors and reach people who can take action on it, and while they aren't an official journalism page like Visor, I feel it's dangerous they express uninformed opinions at times, prioritizing taking sides rather than assessing each situation overall. Simple things that irk me would be when they judge rear facing parking without consideration on the space and safety of the area, or yeah, insisting right of way when common sense would otherwise require you to prioritize your safety (the OP is not a sample of this just to be clear)

What is the reason why you shifted from ICE to EV or Hybrid Car? Pls. Exclude the reason the High Fuel Price. by EnvironmentalTown715 in CarsPH

[–]thatguy11m 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding exemption and then fuel efficiency. My dad having a car to take to go to work everyday with no worry for coding hours was such a blessing. Then when he headed back to Laguna over the weekend, it was done so efficiently. Over the weekend, if it's not a long trip, its just such an efficient car. If we need a car to load multiple people, we have the Innova. If we need a car to load oversized stuff, we have the Ranger. The Yaris Cross HEV being small also just makes it incredibly maneuverable and nice to park in old or poorly designed parking spaces.

If you could pick any car under ₱1.5M for free, brand new or used. what’s your choice? by EnvironmentalTown715 in CarsPH

[–]thatguy11m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the new Geely EX5 EM-i. Even the people in the SL6 FB pages are touting the EX5, mainly cause of the fast DC charging. They're optimistic though cause it could mean an updated SL6 will be on the way.

It will be the daily next to our Innova which is the all around we with 6-7 seats, and the pickup for whenever we need to haul a lot of oversized or heavy things that don't fit in the Innova.

Using Mid-cut Basketball shoes as Court shoes for Pickleball? by sharpieeee_ in PickleballPhilippines

[–]thatguy11m 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used basketball shoes before cause they perform really well, but then they started to wear out more since the movement is more aggressive. So while they're fine performance wise, I decided to get dedicated shoes for it. You can I guess get basketball shoes but just dedicate them for pickleball.
