What is the worst performance you have seen from a genuinely good actor?

I am not talking about an actor who is generally considered mediocre rather an actor with a strong box office record, someone who has repeatedly given outstanding performances but who in one particular film, somehow gives a performance that is surprisingly so bad that it completely ruins the movie for you.

Among active WTA players with one Grand Slam title, who is most likely/ least likely to win another Slam?

Most likely might be Andreeva. She is quite young and has lots of potential to become a great player and I love her super amazing coach also.

Least likely might be a tough choice between Andreescu or Vondrousova. One is always injured and other one might not even return to tennis again.

Need more whodunnit suggestions

I am a big fan of Christie's work. I am particularly interested in fair play novels with a shocking denouement. I have read some of the classics by John Dickson Carr also.

I am looking for more classic whodunnits in a similar style —ideally with clever plotting, well-hidden clues, an intriguing cast of suspects, and a satisfying final reveal. Suggestions from the Golden Age of detective fiction would be especially welcome.

Which is the best oil for cooking indian dishes?

I am a bachelor living alone and recently started learning how to cook. Now I'm confused because there are so many options available—refined oil, olive oil, mustard oil, groundnut oil, desi ghee and more.

For everyday Indian cooking, which one do you use and why? I am looking for something that's healthy and not too expensive.

My mom says desi ghee is the best.

Biggest upset in ATP grand slam history

For me it was Soderling's win over Rafa in 2009 Roland Garros.

Nadal was unbeatable on roland garros before that. At that point it even felt that he would never lose there.

It had a huge impact on history also as it allowed Federer to win his only Roland Garros and complete a career slam.

Biggest upset in WTA grand slam history

I think this might be Serena vs Vinci Us open 2015.

She was going for a calendar year grand slam and defending champion. Vinci was a good player but was not that successful in singles. Vinci had not troubled Serena that much in previous matches also.

32 M Met a girl 31F through an arranged marriage setup—are these early red flags?

I met a girl recently during an arranged marriage discussion. We had a good discussion.We have been texting for two weeks now.

Problem is she usually calls me during office hours and says why you haven't called me today Plus everyday she will message me and complain like I have a headache, neck pain, burns, twisted muscle. I am not sure how to deal with this and how can someone have new pain every other day. Is this even genuine or some early signs of a red flag.
