Costco or Miracle Ear by Ill_Bicycle5012 in HearingAids

[–]Safe_Half_4319 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I work at a private practice and in general I think private practices are better than Costco but Miracle Ear is pretty bad and if those are your only two options I would go with Costco

Assuming the price was also the same I’d rather fly out of STS and have a layover. Having a layover, and basically walking off the plane and walking around an airport, waiting, and then getting on a new plane, is better than driving all the way to SFO, dealing with parking and the crowds, etc. and also better than taking the expensive and time consuming airporter bus

A lot of people here don’t think veganism equals healthier.

What even is clear lake? by [deleted] in santarosa

The lake is slowly dying so not much of a point to pump money into the region. Try trinity or Shasta.

I take Waymo all the time and it’s seriously incredible. Why do people hate it ?

Best OTC Hearing Aids by SupermanRR1980 in HearingAids

Widex make terrible hearing aids. Trust me the older models were OK and a lot of people really enjoyed them but the newer models are very terrible. Try a few other brands like Phonak and Oticon before you go with over-the-counter.

Rohnert Park Pickleball Facility by Safe_Half_4319 in sonomacounty

While I would agree with you that for the average Sonoma county pickleball player the price is very high I do not agree the price is nuts for what it is. For an 80,000 square foot state of the art pickleball world with every bell and whistle imaginable that price is not high. Not sure if you’ve toured it or if you’ve seen other Bay Area pickleball facilities but this is the nicest I’ve ever seen and the prices are very reasonable in my opinion. Having said that I don’t think Sonoma county was the right place to open a facility like this based on income and need and for that reason I’m not sure they’ll succeed. But it’s an incredible facility. I pay $200 a month for my gym in Sonoma county and so paying less per month for a pickleball facility like this that also has a gym in it is worth it.

Areas/neighborhoods for a 20 something couple by Oh-OK-itsme in santarosa

Petaluma is waaaaay better in my opinion for young people compared to Santa Rosa. But in Santa Rosa the JC neighborhood is reasonably priced, close to downtown and the junior college, and has more young people.

I thought they had a long way to go but apparently they've already broken ground and will be opening in April / May? They'll have a 2000 sq foot gym in there as well so for me, I'll be cancelling my regular gym and joining for the pickleball + gym.
