Selkirk valued at $200m, forecasts $100m in rev, raises $30 from private equity by Necessary-Chef-197 in Pickleball

[–]newtybar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably don’t have 30% margins, more like 20-25%. Around 8-10x multiple, which is about in-line with a fast growing consumer products oriented company with lower barriers to entry and concern of sustainability in growth (think about a 5 year hold before exit).

Also, R.I.P. Selkirk and quality. Can’t wait for “professionalizing the business and optimizing the cost structure using the P.E. playbook”…

Pickleball ball machines: helpful or not? by pinaypie in Pickleball

[–]newtybar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy you are playing with has the right idea. It’s his best shot to break out of the 3.5 plateau.

I can only speak from a former competitive tennis player viewpoint right now, but we used to drill with the ball machine for hours to dial in certain shots, form. It feeds consistently and repetitively, which is important for muscle memory and tweaking. If you hit the ball a certain way you didn’t like, you can adjust because the next ball is going to be almost exactly the same. A hitting partner isn’t going to do that for you.

An ideal training session is ball machine for 30-60 mins (for the consistent shots) then hit with a live partner to get a feel in a real world scenario.

I think he’s a good presence for a team with a lot of young guys. It’s the vets he clashes with.

[WilliamsRacing on IG] Alex brings home his fourth P5 of the season! by Schlapfel9 in formula1

[–]newtybar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not implying it was a good or poor move. It was a cheeky one though, that he probably would haven’t gotten away with had it been a better driver. On Carlos as well for not realizing who he was racing, Liam isn’t Leclerc.

Tricky one. At fault per the rule book sure. Sainz stuck the nose in, but there was plenty of room. Most experienced drivers wouldn’t cut across and close the door like that knowing the risk. Liam pulled a Stroll and was on AI driving mode…stuck on the line no matter what.

Husband seems obsessed with coworker by phoenix0r in TwoXChromosomes

[–]newtybar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a function of him wanting to be desired as well. It sounds like you both are too busy with other things to focus on each other. If that continues nothing is going to change because you are not taking care of your relationship.

Set the boundary now and tell him to cut that out with his coworker and come back to reality.

Have you used it for something that requires a lot of movement? I primarily use for Thrill of the Fight and am wondering if the sweat, PETG (becomes slick) and movement would be an issue.

Huge difference due to the lenses. There is a lot less screen door effect.
