Padel tactic question from my game

Left handed who exceptionally playing on left hand side
I was lobing diagonally past the white line regularly and successfully

My opponent who was on the receiving end of these lobs the majority of the time would successfully send a smash/hard shot to my partner who was opposite him.

I then changed tactic and was hitting flat shots/chiquita .

My question is was I meant to do something else? What’s the better tactic here?

Even when my diagonal opponent was at the net and I’d respond with a deep lob he’d manage to run back and hard hit the ball directly to my partner who

Any help or guidance would be appreciated

Legit check : Gucci short sleeve shirt

I bought this off a local re seller and I have the version of this shirt which is “plain” and the pockets and the bordering potentially seem different. I obviously went back to the re seller and he just got upset (surprise surprise) he has been in business for years and is positively rated

Rant : house bidding process

We were in a “silent auction” / silent bidding 2 round process

Realtor hasn’t been transparent nor on time throughout the entire process
And now
Comes to us (10 days after what was meant to be the final decision day)
Saying there were 10 bids
3 are very close
And so the owners and I are giving you a chance and opportunity for a third round

Wtf
You just creating new rounds to extract more money
And what of the person who had the highest bid
They should have “won” the house

We won’t be doing this bidding crap again.
Sorry for the rant I’m just so upset.

Wishing the owners and realtors diarrhoea in perpetuity

Cycling route from Zurich (shady side of the coast) to chur

Hi,
I don’t trust Google with asphalt/paved route recommendations as I’d like to cycle on my road bike from Zurich to chur.

I downloaded komoot and strava but you have to pay to use planning function.

I guess the part which seems the least clear is how to get to walensee and navigate that segment as I assume there’s a detour to get there and then to get out once you’re completed the lake segment.

Cheers

Monti District: Two men arrested after 84,000-euro watch stolen from US manager

He noticed a Patek Philippe on a tourist's wrist in the hotel lobby, signaled his accomplice, and followed him outside. A swift ambush, lasting just a few seconds, was enough to snatch an €84,000 Royal model and disappear into the alleys of the city center.

The incident occurred on the evening of Monday, July 20, in the Monti district. The news was reported by Il Messaggero. The victim is a 49-year-old manager, a US citizen and director of an American investment fund, who had arrived in the capital for vacation. The man was leaving the Urbana Hotel and waiting for a car he had booked via an app when he was attacked.

The attack at the hotel exit

According to the reconstruction of the incident based on the hotel's video surveillance systems and the dashcam of the car that arrived for the pickup, the two men had camouflaged themselves among the guests in the hotel lobby, wearing T-shirts and caps. Having identified the value of the watch, they positioned themselves outside.

As soon as the 49-year-old crossed the threshold, a 24-year-old attacked him, snatching the chronograph from his wrist, while a 28-year-old acted as lookout. After grabbing the loot, the two fled on foot. During the struggle, the attacker lost his cell phone, which was later found to be registered to a front man.

Do you nod or wave to fellow road cyclists

To the road cyclist community,

Do you wave or nod when you cross a fellow cyclist?
I make it a point to try do so (even when there tend to be many on a sunny weekend morning)

But I’ve noticed not so many people do it back to me and most just look at me. And that’s the uncomfortable part.

I guess it makes me a little sad as I ride alone and I look forward to this fleeting exchange/greeting.

It really boosts my morale and makes me happy.

It’s clear I’m not on a fancy bike or gear so that that play a role maybe? Or into my own insecurities?

Question : mortgage documents

In process for application of mortgage

I need a sense check
Bank asking for previous 2 years of tax declaration
And work certificate

Reason I’m standoffish
We are bringing about 50-60% of the property value in cash (if needed and wanted by the bank)

We have salary slips
No debt etc etc etc

Why asking for this? It’s not mandatory? Can I say no?
I feel the bank takes liberties it doesn’t need to.

Am I off by being sensitive about this?
Or I’m at their mercy?

Update : thank you all for your helpful and useful replies. Appreciate it.

Question : German tourists in Ticino (the history behind this phenomenon)

“I’ve noticed over the last few years specifically that there’s an overwhelmingly large amount of Germans (so Germans from Germany ) in places like Ascona and Locarno, holidaying there.

I almost wonder if they own secondary homes here. And if so, what’s the history and story behind that?

Because you wouldn’t assume / expect Germans to come holiday here, because it’s too expensive for them (something I hear often)

They’d rather go to Mallorca or whatever. Is there, like, a historical reason as to why this happens and they do it?

Question : why are there more German tourists in Ticino than Swiss?

I see so many Germans in Locarno and Ascona for example (I mean Germans from Germany if it isn’t clear)

And a lot of them seem to be home owners too?

What’s the history or the origin behind this please?
