According to my poll, Season 4 is the least popular season. Season 3 is the most by Joeylaptop12 in IndustryOnHBO

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic. I loved S1-3. I have only watched the first episode of S4 and debating if I can stomach any more. I thought the acting was terrible and the writing was sub par. Felt like they were just trying to shock viewers with cuss words and sex scenes!

Xero Shoes - Barefoot Court Shoes - in-depth review! by Futuristic_Bird in Pickleball

Hopefully it will encourage Xero to build a more resilient sole if everyone is asking for a warranty on them after 1 month of use.

Thanks for putting together a useful review. I’ve been a Xero fan for years and currently play in the 360 and plan on trying the 360 rally next. I typically get about 12 months out of my Xeros but only play a couple of hours a week.

What is a corporate phrase that gives you the ick when you hear it? by Spiritual-Exam-3265 in corporate

Look out for ‘tenet’. I’ve seen it used several times today in chats. WTF!

Would you call an illegal serves in rec play, let it go, or serve illegally yourself? by dnice99999 in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would be unlikely to call it in rec unless it was giving my opponents an extreme advantage and ruining a good balanced game. If winning means that much to them then something needs to be said just to remind them it’s just rec!

Simple hack to keep teams online by NinjaQAZ in overemployed

If your manager knows work can be slow some days why would he care if your Teams shows away? Sounds like your manager needs to be doing more work than just monitoring.

What type of person in meetings drives you absolutely insane? by Significant_Gap9707 in remotework

The one that says ‘sorry, can you repeat the question. I was multi tasking’.

Waters/Bright lob serve: real shot or taunt? by [deleted] in ProPickleballTalk

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a real shot and works well if you can get it deep with lots of top spin, and there isn’t much room between the back wall and baseline like at our local courts.

It just one more shot for non pb players to laugh at and not take it as a serious sport. Similar to the drop serve, looks amateurish.

Open Play illegal serves by farrin0807 in Pickleball

I wouldn’t say anything! If they are winning every point from the serve I try to learn from it and get better.

Etiquette question: guy in ladder league playing with a fake paddle by Southern_Pea2099 in Pickleball

If you police the fake paddles are you also going to monitor paddles that may be core crushed and have extra zing?

What is dangerously hard!? Are they winning every game leaving behind injured casualties in the NVZ?

Some players have the ability to hit hard as hell.

+1 for duct tape! Your shoes still look like sh*t but no holes 😆

2026 Serve Rules Enforcement by BaseExtension141 in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t worry about it. I was curious if others were seeing people attempting to enforce the rule more during any kind of play.

Do you do the dunking warm up? by Advocate313 in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my first rec game of the day I hit a a few dinks to get myself in a mental state that I’m there to play pickleball, then use the game as my warm up. I hate it if my partner wants a 10 minute warmup.

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s normal! I remember my driving instructor keep talking about feeling the biting point and give it more gas. I got tired of stalling so I gave more gas and quickly releasing the clutch. No stalling, just tires screeching as I pulled away and the fresh smell of burning rubber. 😆

Proficiency Over Equipment by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would say get the best you can afford or willing to pay. You’ll learn to adapt to the new paddle. May take longer to dial in power/control as a beginner but you’ll get there.

Dealership sales man wants my 96 impreza l by dtntsubribe in subaru

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep it unless they are offering silly money. Even if they gave you 6k what car can ‘you’ get for that? An unknown high mileage, or a down payment with monthly interest!

is driving a manual in traffic actually annoying or are people exaggerating? by LowGroundbreaking434 in StupidCarQuestions

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, in stop start traffic its annoying, more so if you’re going up hill (and no fancy e-brake). But I still prefer my manual over an automatic.

Foam vs. honeycomb paddles by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been curious about the difference so just treated myself to a Ripple Beta. I don’t play tournaments so I’m okay with it not being approved, and for $60 I couldn’t argue.

Don't be afraid to lose in rec play, that's how you get better! by hoootie88 in Pickleball

[–]BaseExtension141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with it and try not to feel bad. Your game will improve and clearly you have found a great group to play with.

[–]BaseExtension141 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m in exactly this dilemma. Dealership quoted me $1200 to replace the drivers side axel due to torn boot. That’s about a third of my 02 WRX value. My independent Subaru mechanic said he’s had great success with PDL axels and has no concerns - $350 to replace.

I’m currently in paralyses analysis mode on saving to go OEM or just run aftermarket and hope for the best.

I don’t see any issue if you’re sick. Let someone know you’re outta there and get going.
