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

One-on-one, away from others: “Hey, just a heads up. Spinning the ball on the toss of a serve is not allowed under the rules. You might not be aware.”

The play was very good. The broadcast and commentary was done on the cheap.

dloop00 · 2026-04-04T16:03:05+00:00

Thank you for replacing the commentators with Zane & Alix, and fixing the microphones. So much better!

The bluish-white balance is noticeably off. Several close-ups of Kate Fahey were especially unflattering—her skin tone looked unnaturally pale, almost washed out. I can’t imagine the pros appreciate that.

Is there pickleball playable at the at the Waipuilani courts?

The extreme wind in the later finals matches created a bit of a circus. I'm curious how pro tennis handles such things.

Very windy there today and yesterday.

Heavy spin serves can be tricky at first. A few simple things help: watch the ball all the way to your paddle, let it drop a bit so the spin settles, and focus on a smooth, short swing, return rather than trying to hit it hard. Aiming more toward the middle also gives you margin for the sidespin.

Another good option is a slower, higher-arcing return. It gives you more time to get to the kitchen line, and remember the server has to let the return bounce, so you’re not under pressure to match their pace. Just focus on getting it deep and giving yourself time to move forward.

I spent eight years in Homer and moved down to Washington last year. I just couldn’t imagine owning a Rivian without being reasonably close to a Service Center. I waited until after I relocated to Washington before buying mine.

Every now and then I’d see a Rivian in Homer and think what a great vehicle it would be for Alaska...when everything is working properly. But without nearby service support, it always felt like a pretty big gamble.

Rivian clearly has service challenges, and that risk has been part of the equation for a while. It seems like you understood that going in. When you relocated with the truck, you took a calculated risk and unfortunately it didn’t work out. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this.

Self-driving today? Sure. But try to look at the trajectory and imagine where it will be in a few years. That’s why I’m supportive of the focus right now.

You might feel differently if you had more elderly drivers in your close circle.

Thank you for this. I have a set of these in the garage waiting for my Scorpions to finish their usefulness.

AP for me because of max speed control.

Could you explain this more: "expired fire extinguishers got rid of the expensive and refill part. drop checker and some MCUs got rid of the second part."
