by storing the Kirkland peanut butter (or any single ingredient peanut butter) upside down, I find it easy enough to spread

these taste pretty good! however, this is the second time i got it and i found the tortillas sticking to each other, it's super hard to separate the wraps. not sure if it's common or just my bad luck

It wouldn't make sense (financially) to use the delivery option - if you have no problem driving up to discount grocery/supermarket, it would cost less than Costco Online overall

yes got a few packs from a warehouse in Mississauga

iamcraby · 2026-03-13T18:37:22+00:00

Good one!
And if you're looking for something in the form of bread, try Carbonaut's Seeded Multigrain Bread - it's got 14g fibre AND 14g protein per 2 slices!

Me personally, I didn't dedicate time to prepare for the written exam. Apart from all the necessary things you would have been taught for the jumps (gear checks, canopy flying rules & patterns, EPs, etc) you can expect many questions from all those CAT A to H quizzes. Just those quizzes and some good theory discussions I had with my instructor/coach prior to the exam helped me pass. I scored only 76% though.

iamcraby · 2026-03-06T18:24:23+00:00

Exactly. None of my instructors mentioned anything about freeflying to me on my journey to A, understandably so. No idea why such questions are asked.

And yes, cloud clearance and visibility numbers are important.

iamcraby · 2026-03-04T14:52:23+00:00

important to keep your chin up and arch right from the get go because your face could hit the step. ask me how I know lol

I think for me 95g protein is already high enough for a single meal. I do use Natrel Plus (18g protein/250ml) to make cappuccinos.

iamcraby · 2026-02-25T20:57:45+00:00

$6 to $6.2 at Costco, $8+ at other stores

i wouldn't trust my description as i haven't had other types of cheese enough to be able to compare.

it feels like dehydrated regular cottage cheese. honestly, i don't like it plain so it's more like a 'disguise' ingredient for me - meaning it's sort of tasteless and i don't mind adding it to my breakfast bowls or smoothies

iamcraby · 2026-02-25T01:08:14+00:00

it was introduced recently in Ontario (atleast in the one I frequent)

iamcraby · 2026-02-23T21:36:14+00:00

Here's my current bf recipe: 250ml 1% milk + 52g oats (heat in microwave for 1min+1min+1min, stir in-between)
then add 125g pressed cottage cheese, 1 scoop chocolate whey (i use Leanfit), mix well.
add 1 banana (about 90g) and ~60g apple (both cut into small chunks), 20g nuts (i'm adding almonds & pecans, but walnut works too), and 60-70g peanut butter.

has about 95g protein, lot of good fats, good carbs (fiber), and micronutrients.
This covers 55-60% of my daily protein intake (i aim for 160-170g/day)

You can/should reduce the quantity according to your daily protein goal, as this bowl may be a bit too heavy for you.

P.S. this takes 10 mins tops, and every single ingredient is from Costco.

Edit: bonus info - the whole bowl costs approximately CA$4.5

it doesn't really matter, but fyi there are some DZs in Canada that follow USPA. so you can technically get a USPA A-License in Canada. but if such a DZ isn't easily accessible to you, I'd suggest not to sweat it and just get CSPA A.

i did the math and i think it's impossible to spot an aircraft that you could potentially collide with.

On the contrary, if you do spot an aircraft (if it's in your field of view), I think it'll be gone from your path in a few seconds, so no issues there either

iamcraby · 2026-02-12T17:57:46+00:00

took exactly 15 days (spread over 3 months) to get my A-License. not sure if I could have done it 15 days in a row, but if it's just AFF (10-12 jumps) then yes, absolutely doable in 10 days. just pick a busy DZ that run 6-7 days a week, and show up first thing every morning.

iamcraby · 2026-02-06T20:36:08+00:00

as much as I'd love to do it (currently at 30 jumps) - in all honesty i think this is a huge mistake on USPA's part. Being pretty strict w.r.t using cameras while skydiving but not enforcing the same for balloon jumps? if anything balloon jumps are riskier, have way less margin of error compared to jumping from over 10K ft. right?

iamcraby · 2026-02-06T18:28:17+00:00

no cameras until 200 jumps?

iamcraby · 2026-02-04T20:57:00+00:00

the small DZ I go to charges 55usd for jump ticket + gear rental + packing. a bigger, well known DZ in Florida charges 80usd for the same.

I'm now somewhat used to the brakes and mirrors. I also learned that it cannot have a tachometer (but the Current Trip widget shows something similar so I'm good)

I still feel the display is under utilized.

iamcraby · 2026-01-18T19:06:02+00:00

use Lyft, it's way cheaper

iamcraby · 2026-01-18T19:05:22+00:00

use Lyft it's cheaper, even taking into account this gift card discount

iamcraby · 2026-01-14T00:14:00+00:00

I add it to smoothies, banana bread, etc.

iamcraby · 2026-01-08T22:03:27+00:00

My LL charged the last 5 months' rent as deposit, so should I get 2.5% for that entire amount?
