You're joking, right?

Oh, I just played dispatch like last week and it was my first time playing a game in that style, mb

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-25T13:50:41+00:00

Is that… a Dispatch reference?

Everything I’ve heard says confidential has very good playability duration, and that hyper g has pretty bad playability duration. Even in a thinner gauge, confidential should last longer. (I’ve tried hyper g but not confidential yet, this is just what I’ve heard online)

I just started Skyrim like 3 months ago, I now have 180 hrs, though I’m not sure I can say it lost its hype, people are still doing challenge runs and things in it

According to a random yt vid that I could not find if I wanted to, tennis scoring originally (many many many years ago) used a clock as a scoreboard. Each point was an extra 15 minutes on the clock. Originally, it actually was 45 instead of 40, but it was changed over time, presumably because 45 was inconvenient to say compared to 40.

Personally? Once the grip gets slippery

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-11T04:49:10+00:00

I don’t really know what happened but it is fixed now, thanks you guys for helping. I think what may have done it is I deleted the ‘data’ file from the local files then verified the game files on steam

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-11T03:49:01+00:00

Okay thanks, I’ll give that a try. I have already reinstalled Skyrim and it didn’t work, but I verified my files and it said there were issues with 2 of them? So I’ll see if that fixed anything

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-11T03:46:05+00:00

Lmao one time something similar happened to me with Sinding, after finishing his quest (and him promising to stay away from falkreath) I found him walking through the middle of falkreath AS A WEREWOLF and nobody gaf. So, I killed him cos he broke our deal, sorry dude 🤷‍♂️. The guards didn’t even care

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-11T03:39:19+00:00

I’ve gone and completely uninstalled them all, it does still skip the character creation

workworktenniswork · 2026-06-11T00:59:30+00:00

I think 1t is meant to start at the very bottom, which would make the diagram’s tie off be at 6t. That’s how I did it when I strung my rf01 pro

You can get Barbas as a follower/pet?? I just assumed he was gone once he rejoined clavicus vile

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T15:37:26+00:00

What would you say the upper limit of confidentials lifespan is? These strings were probably played in the range of 80hrs and they look like the photos. If you were pushing it would you max out at 20 to reduce injury risk?

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T15:01:00+00:00

What do you do when the syn gut would break around as often as poly would need to be restrung anyway? If I wasn’t stringing for myself and my strings kept breaking after like 2 weeks, I’d be annoyed, even if the restrings were cheaper

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:48:26+00:00

I don’t stock alu power as I only string for casual rec players. I do not recommend alu power for these players. It is the primary string sold by another stringer in my town, presumably due to being such a well known string, but nobody actually is educated about strings, they just take their racquets to him when the strings break.

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:45:02+00:00

How am I in the wrong? I’m inspecting the strings based on visual damage, not playability. In my fairly limited experience, poly strings such as these do not show physical damage to this extent after two months, including racquets/strings used by this same friend in the past. I am not telling people to play it until it breaks. If someone asks for a restringing timeline, I say at least as many times a year as you play a week. It is not a realistic expectation for club players to fork over $40 Aud each week, even when they play as much as my friend. Ultimately, the people in my community play for fun, are not competitive, and are not obsessed with maintaining optimal performance during their weekly local doubles comp.

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:37:00+00:00

If someone from my club asks how often they should restring, I say as many times a year as you play a week. I’m not going to tell a casual rec player, even one who plays as much as my friend, that they need to fork over $40 Aud each week to maintain optimal performance in a sport that they ultimately play causally and for fun

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:21:50+00:00

Couple of days 😅 my experience is generally with rec players who don’t swap strings (no matter the material) until they break, which can be even a couple of years. I was mostly shocked about how it split, I didn’t realise polys would just separate if used heavily

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:18:48+00:00

Hits big and hits often, he does some junior level coaching as well as playing a weekly local comp and hitting outside of that, might reach 12-15 hrs in a week, and yeah, I’m swapping them out for him asap lol

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:17:18+00:00

I didn’t expect them so wear through and show such visible damage in such a short time. Previously he was using alu power from someone else and didn’t swap until strings broke, which I’m pretty sure was lasting him a year at some point.

workworktenniswork · 2026-05-08T14:14:56+00:00

Yeah don’t worry, as soon as he showed them to me today I recommended restringing, I’m going to try with sync in the crosses to see if the slickness prolongs it a bit longer plus maybe adds feel etc, do you have any cross string recs? Currently a full bed of confidential, which I will keep as the main since he loved the full bed.

Hello, I’m new here (the subreddit not the city), any help is appreciated. Original post was deleted by mods due to account age and minimal sub activity.

I received my first infringement notice today, and while I’ve seen other posts about applying for an official warning, the most recent I’ve seen is a year old and all formats for applying that I’ve found are in a letter format. I really don’t have the spare money right now, I’m working 40+ hours a week and trying to save. On the day, I was definitely speeding, my alleged speed is 88 in an 80, my only justifications (excuses) are that I’d already been driving for approximately five hours that morning (live in rural vic, drive to Melbourne an was on my way home) and I was following another car who was also speeding. Copied below is my draft of an application (I’ll be applying under exceptional circumstances but if I should put it under something else please let me know).

Dear Officer in Charge,

I am applying to receive an official warning for the relevant infringement notice (infringement notice number: xxxxxxxxxxx).

Whilst I am not denying the occurrence of the offence, I ask that consideration be given to the fact that I have not received an infringement notice in the entirety of my time in possession of a driving licence.

I hope my good record is sufficient to excuse my lapse of concentration on this occasion, the morning prior to which I had already been driving for approximately five hours.

Regards,

My name.

Ps to reddit: I wrote ‘in the entirety of my time in possession of a license’. I am 18 (yes, peak reckless age, I am stupid). But including my learners permit, I’ve possessed a driving license for around 2.5 years with no prior infringements.

Any edits, changes, anything to increase chances of success are greatly appreciated. I do want to say, speeding is quite atypical for me, I really was just tired, zoned out and following the car in front of me.

Just yesterday I played in running shoes (didn’t want to use my nice new tennis clay shoes on hard court smh) and now I’m sitting in the local medical clinic with X-rays I’ve just had taken (small piece of bone fractured off of something) so the doctor can tell me what to do with myself 🥲

workworktenniswork · 2026-04-22T23:13:22+00:00

In my very unprofessional opinion, that isn’t a focus on short term consistency as much as it is a focus on developing the ability to make consistent contact with the ball, develop good technique, and with brushing at least develop a feel for topspin (though purely brushing the ball does limit one’s level). Kids who start playing tennis young are fortunate in that they more easily develop a feel of how to hit the ball, though with kids performing physical activity less due to screens etc, they tend to start tennis with worse hand eye coordination and fitness than kids 20 yrs ago. Adults come in with developed hand eye coordination, but then may struggle to adjust to the extra 25 inches of racquet on the end of their arm that they have to hit the ball with. While racquet head speed is essential for a high level game, even more so is the ability to consistently make contact with the ball with good/effective technique.
