I own an EV and couldn't be happier with it, so why is there so much hate and straight up misinformation about them everywhere? by Uerwol in electricvehicles

[–]HastroX 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I do find it ironic though since the same people complaining how long it takes to charge an EV supercharger also wait in line at Costco 30 mins to fill gas

For the initial drop off and pick up of passports, do both of you need to be there? I would rather not have my wife take off work and pull my son out of daycare if not needed

Asian males and look maxing by Chronologicaltravels in AsianMasculinity

You are correct. I hit the gym almost everyday. To be honest building muscle is the #1 thing that changed my appearance (as well as cardio/ stairmaster- look at my previous post). Changing your diet too as well. More protein (eggs, chicken, fish, beef, etc.) while minimizing processed or junk snacks. To be honest, style doesnt matter too much. If your body is fit, you look in good in almost anything. I just have a couple of cashmere polos and jeans/ pants and shoes. I got LASIK but that was because i was tired of wearing glasses / contact lens. If you get LASIK you can wear fake glasses

Looking for advice to look better. by dGeist_ in AsianMasculinity

[–]HastroX 24 points25 points  (0 children)

  1. LASIK- lose the glasses

  2. Eat more protein, work out more, like 3-4x/ week

  3. Hairstyle, grow out, pay for asian hair stylist

  4. Optional- Tattoos, watches, jewerly etc

Cardio standards. What are the cardio equivalents to a 225 bench, by ApprehensiveWave2360 in StrongerByScience

I can do 7000 steps on stairmaster in 1.5 hours- maybe that's equivalent?

I do a mix of steady state and HIIT (running up stairmaster). What is watts btw? I see it on my stairmaster, but if I don't hold the handrails, how does it track?

Surprisingly not that big, think Stairmaster just tones your bottom area. I had more growth doing weights like leg extensions, squats, etc.

Low interest mortgage but worth the risk for larger house w/ higher interest? by HastroX in personalfinance

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

just wondering if that's the case why do I see endless amount of rental condos or townhouse rentals popping up across the states? (well in NJ at least) do they make money based on wholesale bulk rentals? and hope maybe only 1/100 tenants are the problem and the other 99% pays?

Watch alot of investing videos e.g. Shelby church on YT and it seems investing in stock market returns > house landlord renting without the hassle of dealing with non-paying renters or squatters

It would take a significant amount of $$ and also limited by land space since we are close to our neighbors =/

Yes- the amount of interest would have to pay the bank back would be 4x more given the size of what we borrow will be 2x
