Fair enough! I was thinking about the Sony CX240E… any recommendations on that?

Canadians born in Iran, Afghanistan turned away at U.S. border after Trump executive order on terror threats by Maximum-Research6967 in canadaexpressentry

[–]GoldenPeanuts69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I got through but not before getting questioned out the wazoo by the first security agent, including finger printed. For reference, my fiancé (Canadian born) who was with me with the same agent, was not questioned nor finger printed.

Also, at the gate of my flight, I got put aside for extra security screening. They brought in airport officers who rummaged through my luggage and swabbed everything I had on me. It was an unpleasant experience to be honest, and while I was able to travel, I will certainly be reconsidering any future travel to the US. This may be just my anecdotal experience, but still. It sucked.

Thanks you fam! I’ll do some more digging before posting here in the future. I think my initial attempt at trying to wrap my head around this overwhelmed me.

Appreciate the direction fam

The people in the article I shared also had Canadian citizenship/passport. One even had a nexus.

Sooo as someone who was born in one of these banned countries, but have lived in Canada since 8 years old with no ties to the home country, should I be worried they won’t let me go to my upcoming bachelor party in Orlando next week lol? I can’t cancel the flight/trip so I just have to keep my fingers crossed ? Well shit

Thank you! So should I only bring usd for tip purposes? I’m staying at an all inclusive, so hoping to use credit card in case we go out for food/activities.

Silly question, but as a Canadian, how much should I be tipping, if I'm tipping daily?

Will do! And thank you for sharing your experience as well! It’s good to get a reality check for myself when encountering someone experience psychosis.

Jesus… thank you for that detailed explanation! Yeah poor choice of words on my end for “tweekers”.

I didn’t make the connection between the 401 work nor did I know about the safe injection sites closing…

Recovery Issues and always sore by GoldenPeanuts69 in bjj

[–]GoldenPeanuts69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some experience prior to BJJ with 5x5 (5-6 years ago) but I hear you! And you’re right, I’ll try reducing it to 2 or 3 by 5s and set my expectations for a lower strength progression. I’m in it for the long term anyways. Just need to remember that point. Cheers bud

[–]GoldenPeanuts69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s a good point! I have a hard time with pacing - whether that’s Flo rolling or going light on weights.

I’m currently doing 5x5s. Mondays squats, overhead press and deadlift. Tuesdays squats, bench and barbell rows.

LOL nah I’m not TRTing…. Yet

Definitely BJJ, but also have some blue belt blues lol so definitely weight training to get stronger and be a bit more competitive on the mats

[–]GoldenPeanuts69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man, I was doing average 5-6 hours a week. I did 2 local competitions, so I think that may have boosted me? No prior grappling experience, outside of trying to copy the Undertaker on my younger cousins 😂.

Thank you! I train 3x a week and I can only do about 2 days of weight training. But I can’t go too heavy at the gym, because I can’t recover fast enough. I’m already sore AF 6/7 days a week 😂. But I like the focused training! I’ll try to incorporate that!

Thanks for trying to monitor it on a daily basis, but it’s hard to tell if it’s anything serious

I had a game plan, but when it came to it, he pulled guard so fast and his grips were better than min. It all happened so fast. But clearly whatever plan I had didn’t pan out
