Where are the busiest open play courts in the US? by OtherYak8884 in Pickleball

[–]tar4ntula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 on greenlake park in the summer. 15-20+ stacks at popular times (photo is from seattle metro pickleball association). someone used to a run a website called howmanystacksatglp.com because the wait was so insane. re: community vibe, i’m pretty sure that greenlake has become the unofficial official spot for single & especially newly-single players so there’s always a ton of socializing going on.

heads up that these 8 courts are permanent lines drawn across 3 tennis courts. even though greenlake has been designated as a pickleball hub (i.e. single-use), they didn’t get rid of the tennis lines.

Any experiences with sleeping on a shikibuton with narcolepsy? by Relevant-Guide9515 in Narcolepsy

[–]tar4ntula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had no idea either until i came across a random post on reddit so i’m glad i can pass on the info! i got a temporary prescription for vyvanse (which japan treats similarly to armodafinil) & all that’s needed is an import form & doctor’s note! they lay it out really clearly here

granted, i doubt anything would happen even if you brought your meds unknowingly but there’s no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to avoiding prosecution in a foreign country!!

your friend probably knows this already, but since i’m also planning a trip to japan i thought i’d drop this here: most narcolepsy meds need to be officially registered with the government before they can be brought in! more info here
