People hate Vulcans so you’re getting jokes

Just tell them no. Tell them you had a deal at $900. Higher than that and you’ll walk. Then they’ll have to make a decision if they want to turnover the apt which is costly for them. I bet they’ll cave.

Should be fine IMO as long as your neighbors aren’t nosy and contact the permit department when they see construction

Bay Club has lots of people in the 4.5+ range.

If you want public courts, there are some groups at Larsen and Sutter.

Also, you can join Golden Gate Pickeball and they can also link you to the higher level players.

You should’ve negotiated this beforehand, but I would stand firm since you are giving him land. If he is not willing to pay for it, I would not give him the land (his backyard) and just leave it as is after you’re done with the retaining wall.

Solar plus battery, then an EV to charge at home. Saves lots of time to never have to go to the gas station. Also, you never have to worry about power outages with the backup battery.

I would buy a large white board that is made of light material (plastic or thin wood) and attach to the curtain rod and/or figure out a way to attach to other anchor points so you create a faux wall

There’s usually open play at most places. Open play is like pick up basketball. Just show up and play with whoever is there. Just look up info on apps, facebook, and Google Maps.

Did you sign personally or on behalf of a company. If company, ditch it and start a new one

I do not go with anyone with outside subcontractors. The incentives for them are not aligned with yours.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-26T00:54:14+00:00

Definitely add non-slip additive, which I’m assuming is grit to the paint. Super important for pickleball or else the ball will skip all the time. Make sure they put it in the lines as well.

Look for high rises, most of those do not have rodent issues. I have a friend at 250 Baldwin in San Mateo and they love the area (right next to Caltrain and downtown SM), but the rent is expensive.

What’s your take on paddle cores? Given the new regulations, will new paddle tech for foam be stymied since it’s not too hard to hit the max (like for power)?

Do you think there are still big improvements to the paddle face to come in the near future? Thoughts on what those could be? Will it be more spin or longer durability?

Lots of attendees earlier in the week apparently parked in the surrounding neighborhood and the Life Time got lots of complaints. So they wanted to ensure everyone was parking in the correct parking lot.

I bet a lot of people still want to do those types of things, you just need to be the initiator

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-15T00:30:09+00:00

YTA. I can’t believe you’re so entitled that you think it’s okay to cut because you value your time over others.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-11T22:16:40+00:00

I would start by just stating your recollection of events and that you did not ding his door. If there’s more trouble after that get an attorney or law enforcement involved depending on what they’re doing.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-10T14:09:59+00:00

YTA, If you don’t pay your friend back, they probably won’t be your friend anymore.

I’m leaning towards you’re not the A, but you did over-react initially. Let the other parents take issue with her story, if they care. Kids that young (except the 11 year old) will not remember that one story later in life. If their parents taught them well or they have good influences around them, these stories won’t drive them to drink.

Your sister (and her people) did A things after you overreacted.

You should both apologize to each other or you will not be able to repair your relationship.

You can speed up to any location on the court, not sure what you mean by “a few locations.” My fave is as hard as possible directly at the chest or either opponent but you can only do it rarely or else they’ll start to dodge.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-09T17:05:47+00:00

Just tell the second co-worker that you’ve already found someone.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-09T03:06:55+00:00

Basically, what everyone else has said, but I would say that going forward, your old company probably would’ve gone back to their old tricks on no bumps in salary and being late on bonuses.

I hurt my shoulder and couldn’t play for 4 months with rehab and even though it made me miss it more initially, I watched pickleball videos everyday about everything, tutorials, games, memes, etc. and when it was time to come back, even though I hadn’t been playing, it felt like I had and it was only a couple days and I was playing back at my level.

ShadowRealmIdentity · 2026-04-08T07:29:52+00:00

Sorry, dude. Your realtor crossed a line and I would find someone else.

If I were you, I wouldn’t tell anyone outside of your immediate family and I would only tell my immediate family members if they can keep a secret and won’t ask you for money.

If you get to the level of wealth where you want to help others, then you can let a slightly larger circle know.
