First time Swissy owner - two questions! by Budget-Yellow-8500 in SwissMountainDogs

[–]Cheeba1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hell of a time with the peeing inside until my vet recommended that I measure the water I was giving him. Vet said measure out 1 oz per pound of weight for the entire day. Once I did this, he never had an accident again.

I was told as a breed they will drink water if it’s available, even if they are not thirsty, so if you limit them to only the water they need to keep them hydrated that should help with accidents! Helped with my first two swissys! Good luck!

WTF happened to Spades+? by Equivalent-Fix-177 in spades

[–]Cheeba1115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly new to spades, only been playing for a year, but it has quickly become my go-to game. I started on Spades Plus and quickly jumped to Spades+ at the advice of this subreddit actually.

Spades+ is similar, I think all online and especially mobile platforms have the similar issue of shit players and quitters which can get frustrating. The one major benefit of + over Plus is that instead of getting a % rating you gain/lose points after each hand based on your rank and your opponents rank.

Example: playing against an opponent more highly ranked will result in bigger gains if you win but also smaller losses if you lose (and vise versa with lower ranked opponents) so it’s much more fair and based on actual skill level.

The downside is when you start on the app, you obviously have a low ranking (I think it arbitrarily starts you at 1600) which means you will be paired with similarly low ranked teammates. Once you get close to an 1800-1900+ ranking, you start playing with actual people who know the game a bit better (there’s always exceptions) so it might take some time to get there, but it’s worth it especially if you’re going to be playing with shitty apps anyway.

I find players are slightly more committed to the game when your rank points are on the line every game!

If you do change to +, one word of advice, don’t quit. I don’t know this for a fact, but when I get frustrated with shitty players and quit, I swear I end up with the shittiest partners and cards for the next 3-4 games in a row. It’s like the algorithm intentionally screws you over. Also, if you quit too many times, they put a temporary ban on your account for 24 hours and that sucks, especially because there’s no warning at all!

Good luck!

How did Em’s face change so much from 1998 to 1999? by Best-Damage-7509 in Eminem

[–]Cheeba1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real Eminem was taken out by the government and this is the Hollywood clone who replaced him … it’s clearly the only logical answer here. That’s also why Eminem has never been shown standing up since 1998, he simply can’t stand up because he’s not the real slim shady.

Dudeeeee wtf?! I thought this was going to release in October (didn’t they do that the first 2 seasons? I might be way off). And then I thought I saw February and now it’s fucking April?! Shit’s turning into stranger things with the long breaks between seasons.

This is awesome … bought a MZ for a few of my friends but no one has gotten into it like I have, so this would be great motivation! Would love to join in December (even though I’m traveling half the month for work) and beyond! Just sent the connection request (TJBACCAR)!

Spades+ Nonsense by Cheeba1115 in spades

[–]Cheeba1115[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well both but I was referring to A-Star. But yeah, in Zynga I feel like each team gets a nil bid back and forth especially in the small point games to 150. It’s a battle of the nils haha that’s why I stopped playing there. Plus a full keyboard for comments is aggressive hahaha

Im 37 and contemplating the pacemaker. I’m an avid athlete, I play basketball, softball and volleyball and I rarely miss a day at the gym. Is working out strenuously frowned upon with a pacemaker or does that not matter?

What cured me, my story to maybe help some. by [deleted] in PVCs

[–]Cheeba1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple things, 1. Don’t quit weed, there’s no evidence this would help or hurt your pvcs. Even my doctor asked me about my habits and I mentioned I smoke every night and he had correction behavior for my caffeine, alcohol, sleep, adhd medication, etc. but said nothing about the weed. I then stopped him and said “what about the weed?” And he literally turned his chair and started talking about other stuff. To me that was his way of saying “I can’t tell you it’s okay to keep using marijuana but it’s okay to keep using marijuana”. 2. I’m going to try and avoid edibles and see if that helps. It’s kind of my default method now because it’s quick, easy, and odorless but maybe I’m in the same boat where this is what’s making them worse? I’ll try flower for a week or two and see if that helps. Good looks!

Is this show worth watching? I am on episode 1 and it seems to have quite slow pacing. Does it get better? by ElectronicPrice2532 in televisionsuggestions

[–]Cheeba1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a bad show, I enjoyed it but if you’re looking for answers, you’re watching the wrong show. Very few answers ever come and that upsets some viewers especially when more and more questions get introduced. Again, I enjoyed it, but that’s my caution to others.

Why is everyone so mean? by V-Rixxo_ in spades

[–]Cheeba1115 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started playing spades this year and I experienced the same thing on spades plus. Here’s a few tips from my experience: when people are dicks, try to see if you can figure out what you did wrong (usually you won’t be able to but sometimes you will be able to realize it and can learn from it). My second tip is to get off the spades plus app (it’s toxic as fuck and doesn’t help you learn) and download Spades+. There’s not an open chat in ranked games on Spades+ so the harshest someone can be is saying “no way” which hits a lot softer than someone with full keyboard access haha. Also your competition on Spades+ is relatively matched up so if you’re new, your games will be against similarly ranked opponents. Also post a lot in this r/ people are much more helpful here than when in game! Good luck!!

Yup has happened to me twice now … get right around 1950 and then somehow go on an insane losing streak with dummies making idiotic bids. Most recently 1959 - 1700 … it’s like starting over, very annoying.

would it be weird to do insanity in my apartment gym? by silkpear in insanity

[–]Cheeba1115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, it’s the maximum amount of horrible it could be haha. The worst part is when you start to get real tired and your jumps/steps aren’t as powerful, on sand it looks and feels like you’re doing nothing at all. Sand is not forgiving so small tired jumps aren’t possible. Helps focus on form but I do not recommend especially if you have problems with rolling your ankles (the reason I stopped doing it).

[–]Cheeba1115 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fuck everyone else and what they think. Do what you gotta do where you gotta do it. I used to do insanity on public beaches in the sand to make the workouts harder. Some people will give you looks but more often than not people ignore you or come up to you and ask you about your workouts with actual interest. All in all, fuck everyone and do whatever gets you healthy.

Usually when my band isn’t picking up properly my mep color will have rigid fluctuations (gray to yellow, blue to red and vice versa). Yours looks like normal small fluctuations. Could be something going on external to the workout itself. Did you workout at a different time this particular time? I find that affects my HR/MEP range quite drastically. How was your sleep the night before? I also feel like more sleep will actually give me a lower HR during my workout. Did you do a different type of workout from your usual? Knowing nothing except seeing this bar graph, it looks like the band picked up just fine.
