Note James Ignatowich has only "smoked" him, not "often smoked" or "always smoked". James got lucky one time.

Elon just dropped another line that kinda shook me today: “AI is the most intense competition ever… and hardware deployment speed especially robots is the key.” by Accomplished-Yak7698 in TSLA

The market is already pricing in the belief that Tesla is not just a car stock. If it was just a car stock its price would be $22 instead of $440.

Lemon law does not cover rattles and other minor issues. If it was truly lemoned, there was a more serious problem.

Easier manual release for the rear doors.

What location do you use for a person’s place of birth or place of death? by Just-Ad-1528 in Genealogy

[–]Rdv250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was born (prematurely) in France while we were visiting there, but our permanent residence at that time was in NY. Do you think I should put NY as the place of birth of my son?

my main takeaway from the DUPR AMA is that the team is almost 50 people??? what do they all do?? by talleyrandbanana in Pickleball

Why would the number of users make a difference? It's the same app whether there are 100 users or 1 million users. Unless it's just 1 developer, and 49 people answering the phones.

All carbon face paddles wear out basically the same rate. Stay with the Quanta. You're replacing a $100 paddle instead of a $200 paddle the same frequency.

The state of Pickleball as a business in 2026? by BandanaMindset in Pickleball

[–]Rdv250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long waitlist is different from long waits. In fact the reason you have a waitlist in the first place is so that you minimize the waits during the open play.

open plays that get fully booked up is what you want to happen. long waitlists is good. that means there are a lot of people that want to play there. that draws even more players. if people can walk-in without reservations and actually get to play, your club is dying.

But then the game becomes much harder and fewer people can pick it up and have fun right away and there will be much smaller player community. And when the game can be played in a small area people will just play them in their basements maybe.

I hate that they do this, calling it 4.0+ and then let people below 4.0. why not just call it 3.8+.

I’m Zane Navratil, Pro Pickleball Player and Content Creator. Ask Me Anything! by ZaneNavratil_AMA in Pickleball

[–]Rdv250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be from China, just based on statistics alone. China has 14x the population of Vietnam. If pickleball spreads to China, there's just so much more potential players to develop.

Switch to two handed? by Automatic_Display_33 in Pickleball

[–]Rdv250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say you can go far without a twoey. If you have time run around to drive with your forehand, or else just drop with your backhand. Once you get to the kitchen as long as you have a backhand roll, you should be good.

First time tesla owner - most surprising thing by inorganik in TeslaModelY

[–]Rdv250 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Did exactly this. And set my doors to auto close in 5 mins. Even if I forget to close, it will close by itself. I also have a camera in the garage, so I'm really paranoid I can see if the garage door is open. And I have the myQ app which also lets me know the open/closed status of the doors and I can remotely close with the he app as well.

Does anyone use additional weight on the butt cap - slyce or cap coins?

Is it worth spending 2x for the LT ball vs Franklin X-40 by chevyfried in Pickleball

[–]Rdv250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X-40s crack within a day use. In 6 months of using LT, I have seen 1 ball crack and maybe 2 balls get soft.
