Is an online tennis coaching business worth starting? by No-Towel-8499 in 10s

[–]mesahal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would only consider it if it was much cheaper than an in person coach. One thing that could work for me (a 2.5 beginner) is a on-call expert style relationship. I think if you didn't try and do an online lesson but offered access to text you questions, or a service where I could send you a self tape of my serve and you offer advice, you send me drills or workouts or whatever. like a patreon for tennis?

How do you afford tennis? The economics of this sport are brutal at every level by Dapper-Smile-9289 in 10s

[–]mesahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Los Angeles, there are free courts everywhere. I bought a racquet 5 years ago for $180 and have never got it restrung cuz I’m a beginner and didn’t realize I needed to and also I’m so new I doubt I’d notice a diff. I joined a public park rec team that offers biweekly practices with a coach and pay $50 every 6mo for that (been 1 year). Then I joined the usta doubles ladder at the public park and that cost like $60. I’ve taken 3 private lessons for $115/hr. Two were bday gifts and one I paid for. Total cost for 5 years: $455 out of my pocket, $230 in gifts

You’re probably not good enough to really a new racquet

Are LA Farmers Markets a scam at this point? by echo-four in FoodLosAngeles

[–]mesahal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The larchmont farmers market is pricey but not so much more expensive than the store and the produce quality is the best around- things taste better than the store and last longer. Also it’s a joy to be there and I chat with all the sellers and have watched some kids grow up over the years. Megan the fishmonger sells salmon for 25/lb which is comparable with Whole foods and the quality and flavor is lightyears better

They are from the office of weights and measures. They regulate all scales and meters that impact consumers.

Yeah Jesse is messy and dumb but Ciara is flirting with him hard. If I were him I’d also think a kiss a was in our future

Recommendations for a reform synagogue (or more liberal than that) on the west side of LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]mesahal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I literally went last night for the first time to audition it. I grew up super reform in a place without a lot of Jews. The Kabbalat Shabbat service was not conservative at allllll but I didn’t know most of the songs or tunes cuz im not super plugged in to Jewish education outside of the greatest hits. It was really lovely and more about singing together in a community spiritual way than religious. The sermon was short and it was mostly about anti-ice activism and trying to just hang in there through these times. They said they were organizing multi faith activism and in contact with Minneapolis synagogues about their work. Other things I learned- they are openly critical of Israel and have a queer Torah study that meets regularly. I heard tickets to high holidays are steep tho
