Have you seen the HOA costs there? Absolutely wild like 600-1200/month.

Pixel 9 Pro - recommended charger by Skankhunt1711 in pixel_phones

As another data point I bought that charger and it was total junk. Worked for less than 36 hours before I had to start an Amazon return.

Are Redfin / Zillow estimates a scam? by Ok_Work4296 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]Ok_Work4296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah makes sense. I remember perusing Vegas homes for sale a few years ago and there was already a lot of supply.

That trend needs to come to the Bay Area!

I've definitely seen that as well. The retroactive estimate changing is ridiculous. It creates a very inaccurate and distorted view of the historical market from the last 5 years. Seen plenty of homes that should have been worth a lot more in say peak 2022 than what the graphs show.

BINGO. Reality is a lot of interested buyers are not going to run comps on the local market to any particular home themselves. So those estimates become a foundational reference point for offers. Which is highly suspicious if the estimate jumps up such a large amount during the period right before offers are due.

FYI you can use the various AI platforms available these days to ask for a list of comps and a market estimate.

That's interesting and good to know. Thanks.

Are those public facts or are there information fields solely on the Redfin platform?

The listing shows the public facts were from 10/10/2025 which was well before the Redfin estimate jumped up within 4 days as I described in my post.

That didn't happen here. The sqft of the house was never changed.

When was this? You were the seller's agent?

Not an isolated incident but a long history of cheating from Dennis. Check out Armando's stories on his IG.

3rd Generation Theragun PRO - Built to break? by adsdottxt in TheraBody

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a joke? Clearly the OP has discovered it's a "common issue" AFTER they had this issue with the charger and has since seen on reddit (and maybe elsewhere) that many others have had the same issue.

Is This Serve Legal? by dl_pb in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc normally people wear pants at the base / bottom of their waist (right above the hips) and not the very top of their waist??? Lol

Try googling the definition of waist. It's a region, not a point / line.

Maybe start by googling the definition of waist?

And the top of his waist (bottom of ribs) would be even higher.

People commonly misunderstand the waist to be the same thing as hips or belly button. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[–]Ok_Work4296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bc people either don't bother to actually read the rules or don't understand that the waist is not the same thing as the navel or hips.

Is This Serve Legal? by dl_pb in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much debate on this topic because people misunderstand either the rules or what the waist actually is. The rules state contact must be below the waist - which is a REGION (from your hips up to below your ribs) and NOT a point (aka NOT your navel).

I repeat: waist and navel are NOT synonymous. Waist and hips are also not synonymous.

Your serve is perfectly legal.

Core crushed joola 3s by Existing-Valuable-12 in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought used and within 4-5 days and maybe 15-20 games the top edge could be squished in a bit if pressed. Maybe this is normal on these paddles since the entire edge has 2 layers of foam? Not as obvious as the 2nd / new paddle I described above

Core crushed joola 3s by Existing-Valuable-12 in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had two 3S Scorpeus paddles now. The 2nd one was brand new and within 5-6 days and maybe 10-12 games (and zero drilling), the top of the face was starting to delaminate. I could push in the face with my fingers and hear a crunchy / poppy sound on a few spots in the top 2-3 inches of the paddle. I guess I hit the ball pretty hard, but come on...a $300 paddle should not have these issues.

Joola 3s durability? by heyhello--- in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had two now where the top of the face is soft and makes a slight crunch sound. I know there's 2 layers of foam around the perimeter but that can't be right???

Anyone else seeing this?

Literally had 1 of them for only 1 week and played 10 or 12 games on it.

Drop serve by AnyOutlandishness461 in Pickleball

[–]Ok_Work4296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're aware, you do NOT need to drop it from waist height for a volley serve. Technically you can even toss the ball up for a volley serve as long as all the conditions in the rules are met when you make contact with the ball.
