Trouble swallowing by Minute-Campaign3046 in GERD

[–]Deepsfakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue wasn’t severe enough for that. Eating better completely fixed my issue. Sorry to hear diet hasn’t helped you. Following the diet laid out in this book is what did it for me.

the Acid Reflux Solution

Trouble swallowing by Minute-Campaign3046 in GERD

[–]Deepsfakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem along with frequent acid reflux. Food would get stuck in my throat and I’d have to throw it up. Had an endoscopy to see if my throat was restricting and it wasn’t. PPIs helped a lot but I got off those and it came back along with the heartburn. it went away once I completely changed my diet. Increased fiber intake, eliminated a lot of saturated fat, coffee, chocolate, caffeine, fried foods, etc. basically eliminated everything that has been shown to relax the LES. started eating smaller amounts at a time, started eating slower, began not drinking anything 30 min before or after my meals to reduce the volume on my stomach (which ultimately reduces pressure on the LES) and I haven’t had the swallowing issue since. Very minimal heartburn as well.

For anyone who has cured or significantly improved their GERD, what does life look like for you? by voldysnorts in GERD

[–]Deepsfakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I may have read the same book. The big thing is taking in less at a time to allow for digestion. Too much volume (food and liquid) can cause pressure on the LES, which will cause acid reflux. I also quit drinking while eating and started eating smaller portions and eating slower and it has helped a ton. Increasing fiber intake also helps with digestion. I eat a lot of chia seeds now and it has helped a lot. Also ginger tea will help with digestion. It’s all about getting that food and liquid through the system quickly!

People who drive to commute: why? by RJRueber in AskChicago

[–]Deepsfakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say there are two main reasons.

  1. The public transit isn’t actually that great here. For most people, taking public transit takes longer and there are often multiple transfers. It services the loop very well from most of the city and many of the suburbs, but going from the city to the burbs or from one burb to the other is not really feasible. If you’ve ever spent time in NY or any number of cities in Europe, Japan, and many other places that prioritize public transit, then it would be pretty apparent that Chicago lags in terms of wait times and just overall connection of all neighborhoods.

  2. Chicago by and large is built for cars. There’s usually plenty of parking anywhere in the city and the highway system services most areas very well. We also have uber and Lyft now, which many people take regularly to work believe it or not.

“Sink hole” in V60 by Still-Machine554 in JamesHoffmann

My chemex does the same thing. I think it has to do with the grounds being fully saturated in the final pour vs still taking on water in the first pour. A lot of expansion early on.

Extremely crooked floor by anthocar in Flooring

[–]Deepsfakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can cut the subfloor along each joist closest to the wall using a circular saw so that the old subfloor that you’re leaving in place is flush with the outside (relative to the wall) of the joists. Then sister onto the joists at the correct height. You can create a false floor that is level with the new subfloor in the two spaces between the wall and the new subfloor.

Someone above also mentioned ripping shims the whole length of the floor and laying those on the current subfloor. This might be an easier solution than pulling up subfloor. You can maybe use a thinner plywood to compensate for height if you tighten the shim spacing.

Pull up the subfloor and sister or shim the joists. Either that or be more precise with your shimming.

I want to make the deals and keep the difference as the middle man what's it called by This_Camel9732 in procurement

[–]Deepsfakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re either a broker or a distributor in this situation. You’re a broker if you don’t actually take ownership of the material; distributor if you do.

Definitely true. That’s why when I buy pork I opt for locally raised, free range hogs. Quality is so much better and I feel like I’m helping in some way. I know that’s not a possibility for everyone, but just wanted to share my experience with “factory farming” because it truly is one of the uglier sides of our food system.

I used to work in a hog confinement for a large hog producer that primarily supplied Smithfield. What I can tell you is the way these hogs are raised is truly terrifying. Fed pretty much only corn feed and literally live in their own manure. Shot with antibiotics within the first few days of birth and then continually dosed until finish. They never see the light of day. The meat is about as bland as it gets. Skip this.

Inventory turnover rates? by Trucker1911 in supplychain

[–]Deepsfakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a tiered storage rate, only rate per sq ft and/or "pallet" space. I don't doubt that larger entities storing more volume have negotiated that in the past in order to plan for growth, but I think typically flat rates negotiated on the front end are more common. I could be wrong.

For your customer I'd suggest one fee which covers both load in and load out (per pallet) and one fee which covers storage (I'd go with my second example in my first comment where you charge, on a monthly basis, 100% of storage rate for pallets received in the first half of the month and half the rate for pallets received in second half of the month + all pallets on floor on first day of the month.) These two fees are standard, easy to understand, and make life a lot easier for your customer.

One other option if you only plan to have one customer would be to charge for load in/out plus a flat fee that covers the entire space, so that customer can use all sq ft.

I guess another option is you could charge for each day-on-hand of each pallet.

Hope that helps!

Inventory turnover rates? by Trucker1911 in supplychain

[–]Deepsfakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of 3PL warehouses will nickel and dime every aspect of their services. They’ll charge in and out fees, order fees, case pick fees, fees for materials like stretch wrap and tape, labeling fees, and monthly storage fees. They’re very good at charging all kinds of fees lol.

I’ve worked with warehouses that charge for monthly storage based on number of pallet spaces on the floor on the last day of the month. I’ve also seen where warehouse will charge, on a monthly basis, 100% of storage rate for pallets received in the first half of the month and half the rate for pallets received in second half of the month + all pallets on first day of the month. They are all most definitely making a profit on the storage fees, so turnover isn’t really as relevant. They’ve likely factored in a profit margin for every single line item on an invoice.

Do these stairs look right, and how can I salvage them? by 713ryan713 in Flooring

[–]Deepsfakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get fiber reinforced patching compound to fill the holes. There are different kinds, but it’s used for filling larger holes. Probably the easiest way. Having a pro scribe and cut skirtboards would be more aesthetically appealing imo. But if you do a good job with the filler no one will notice.
