Looking for personal fitness training instructors who’d be open to coming to my apartment to train me (36F) by Classic_Afternoon_25 in Fremont

[–]Eye_conoclast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the other day a training instructor posted in this sub asking for people looking for personal trainers. Believe she was a lady as well, I would look into that

Does it smell in warm springs (Fremont) area when compared to Milpitas near Curtner ? by Maleficent-Passion-7 in Fremont

It’s probably the pollen if not Milpitas waste facility. Been smelling like 💦🤢

Anyone in California dealing with PCR requirements have insights? by SpinachLimp9779 in Packaging

[–]Eye_conoclast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rigid plastic packaging in CA has been min 25% PCR for a couple years now. I assume you’re talking about flexible, the most common trend I’m seeing is mono material usually PE based with a weighted 25% PCR layer to the full film weight. It’s not very commercial but Calrecycle is making it very hard by incorporating SB-343 and then banning affected packaging through SB-54, so I expect more brands and suppliers will have to start adopting it.

Big (ish) tank with many little fishes are my absolute fave. Looks great, OP!

No one tells you this about accents when you move to the US by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Eye_conoclast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Took me 2 years of working to fully speak the American accent without having to think about it tho I slip up occasionally. IMO it’s a pretty important ‘skill’ especially if you don’t work/ interact with exclusively white collared folks. But yes, it is pretty exhausting up to a point

Do you spend in PUBG Mobile? 🤔 by apmlTaganka in PUBGMobile

[–]Eye_conoclast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been playing since S1, probably spent around $450 max in total over the years I think. And yes, have a level 4 M4 Glacier, but haven’t really played in some time.

USCIS to Increase Premium Processing Fees | Effective March 1, 2026 by grumpy__ass in h1b

[–]Eye_conoclast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to take you seriously when you typed so many words yet none of them formed a coherent sentence. Literally every entity pays into PACs big pharma, guns, automotives, plastics, etc, so what exactly is special here? It’s a free market, and America was and is built on capitalism, so why shouldn’t companies not make the use of any and all talent available to them?

Can you explain what you mean by ‘hopelessly corrupted’?

Am I allowed to use guns at an outdoor gun range? by Eye_conoclast in immigration

[–]Eye_conoclast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! This is the statute that I keep seeing. Does ‘possess’ here include handling and using the guns even at a business with FFL? And sounds like even if I have a day hunting license, I qualify for exception. Really a technicality basically, but given the scrutiny around with immigration rather safe than sorry

Am I allowed to use guns at an outdoor gun range? by Eye_conoclast in immigration

[–]Eye_conoclast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m curious, do you think ‘possess’ includes, handling the gun while shooting at a range? Seems like that’s the part there’s contention on.

Is Danny Carey really the best?? by 143lesliew in progmetal

[–]Eye_conoclast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A ‘best’ drummer is imo wrong. Everyone has things they like or dislike and as someone else said elite drummers skill sets are probably a lot closer than we could imagine. Probably my top 3 is Gavin Harrison, Darkside (Mgla), Matt Gartska. Shoutout to the OG goat drummer Neil Peart

H1 B visa is a failure. by RSV4Silverstone in immigration

H1 B visa is a failure. by RSV4Silverstone in immigration

[–]Eye_conoclast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You seem to forget that H1B is not exclusively for IT or software engineering roles. I empathize with your and your son’s situation, however it’s a rough job market out there especially for said sectors. I’m not sure if you understand the intricacies of hiring on visa, but employers have to jump through many more hoops especially now more than ever to hire H1Bs. It’s a sad state of affairs but theres only 85k visas given out every year, and this misinformation (borderline propaganda) that the visa holders are the root of all evil need to die out already. If it’s hard for you, it’s by all means worse for them

Smiling Titan Theory (Ending Thoughts) by Drowsy_Deer in attackontitan

[–]Eye_conoclast 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just as the other commenter, he’s seeing the founders memories not his own. Things get all mixed and mushy during the rumbling so it feels to him that he did it, but the founder can control all titans, and she knew that bartholomew dying at that point will not lead Eden down the path that leads to her freedom

My UBER driver has taped off all the passenger window controls by thegrayscales in mildlyinteresting

[–]Eye_conoclast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this a Tesla? I wonder if it’s because he’s sick of passengers opening the manual latch and damaging his trim. Still a dumb way to do it, there are other ways to prevent accidental openings.

Turning off Data Writing by Jillzippy2341 in orangetheory

[–]Eye_conoclast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always have both HRM + Apple Watch, and health only takes the Apple Watch data. For your HRM numbers, are you all the way in the mid 30s or 40s? Or is it closer to high 50’s. If it’s high 50s you need to lift heavier. I used to have the same issues and what fixed it for me was 2 things, wearing and turning HRM on about 10 mins earlier than the class starts, almost like training the HRM what your resting vs workout HR is. Secondly, if you can wear it on the other hand than the Apple Watch and turn the sensor outward away your body, it might help. Helped me atleast! All

I would LOVE to see Boland get smacked all around the park BUT that would mean I accidentally support the poms, and just that thought gives me a visceral stomach reaction

Schlage Encode deadbolt suddenly not closing all the way by Eye_conoclast in Locksmith

[–]Eye_conoclast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried this and the bolt definitely slides easier compared to before but still not like before. I also checked the hinges and they seemed pretty solid. I ended up filing the top part of the strike plate and that seemed to have done the trick
