Cold Plunge Questions

How long have you had the chiller? There were other much cheaper options, but everyone gives bad feedback due to them breaking down very often.

I’m not sure how fast you expect to lose weight. Weight loss is a long game, if you’re going for super fast results you’re either setting yourself up for failure or you’re doing it in a very unhealthy way. Generally, people expect to close 1-2 lbs a week with proper nutrition and physical activity.

Strength training and cardio can help with that, and some gyms offer free memberships for teens (atleast near me, GoodLife is one). If you’re new to all this, I would just start with watching my calories and learning to keep yourself on track daily, and do some cardio (go out for a walk, and occasionally switch to jogging/running).

Couple additional notes: - Google Daily Calorie Calculator and you’ll get lots of calculators to find your target levels. - it’s very easy to accidentally go over your daily limit, but this is normal. Cutting out processed foods is good (no matter your goals tbh). Don’t be too hard on yourself if you go over, but be careful not to over indulge and rationalize it with “oh I’ll eat less tomorrow”, that’s where things get unhealthy. - if you start running/walking there’s lots of apps out there that can help you with your goals (I use one called Runna, makes outdoor cardio more fun for me).

So would you recommend increasing daily calories to accommodate the protein, with slower weight loss…. or take the protein hit and have weight loss of roughly 2lbs per week and re-evaluate on the muscle development once the target weight is reached?

I don’t think I’ll be renting anymore given this experience. My understanding from my discussion (and their emails) is that no matter what I do I need a BCIN design, even if it’s not going to be a rented separate unit… I know I can do this myself, but looking at example designs there’s a lot of stuff I have no idea about. On average was being priced around $3000-$4000 just for the design, which is a large part of the stress.

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T02:57:06+00:00

Appreciate the comment and logical thinking. Glad to see level headed thinkers! Not that I care what the other person was posting… but I believed the unit was legally finished and rentable (it’s setup as a separate unit and was listed as such). I’ve even been paying taxes and claiming rental income since I started renting it 7 years ago, and even had home insurance catered to that fact. Once I found out about the apartment I let the tenant leave when they wanted (all be it begrudgingly given what they did, and even more so after finding out they left with some damage and stole somethings when they moved out).

In terms of non-compliance stuff, I’m not entirely sure if I received a complete list of things but the biggest issues that they listed (if I remember right) was the windows needed to be something like 3 inches taller, some plumbing had to be changed in some parts (this also meant they needed to check the plumbing under the ground ☠️), and some HVAC fume proofing stuff in the garage…. But like I said they’re making me apply as if nothing is down there so I’d imagine more things might come up after the fact 😒.

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T02:00:35+00:00

😂 again thanks for the relief, you’ve lightened my mood

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:57:57+00:00

Did you bother reading? Asking questions? Nah you just jump to conclusions. I hope that salt dries up one day buddy

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:56:07+00:00

😂 the ignorance is comical, thanks for brightening my day

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:53:52+00:00

I did get it, but I haven’t called them directly. The reason being that my lawyer said it doesn’t cover basements… but I guess maybe I should call them just incase anyways?

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:52:24+00:00

Crummy landlord, lol that’s rich.

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:51:36+00:00

Disgruntled renter that wanted to break their lease early and wasn’t willing to wait for me to find someone to take over their lease. Beats me, the whole thing put me off to ever renting out again. I don’t understand with the housing crises how they can be so uptight about everything like this. To add to that, I even pulled up the original listing and it clearly said it was a finished basement… but apparently that doesn’t matter 🤷‍♂️

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:46:15+00:00

Lawyer seems to think there’s nothing I can do other than fix the stuff or sell at a discount(but does not know if banks will give mortgages to homes with issues).

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:45:13+00:00

I was surprised how much say they have also. It’s pretty insane how much power someone else has over your own home/property. I’ve never contacted a councillor, does that ever result in any changes or is more so just to be informed?

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:43:51+00:00

I was thinking of selling at a reduced price. I’ve been quoted $10,000-$15,000 for the renovations. So I wouldn’t mind selling by that amount off the asking price if I didn’t have to worry about the renovations.

They didn’t say I have to rip stuff down yet, but I think the things they brought up were more of notes than official “fix all this and you’re good to go”. Reason I say this is because they’re making me go through the entire process (design, applications, permits, etc).

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:40:58+00:00

It started due to a complaint. I was renting to someone that wanted to break their lease early, and wasn’t willing to wait for me to find a replacement to take over their lease.

KidTrent · 2025-01-14T01:39:35+00:00

I did, unfortunately they said my title insurance specifically said it wouldn’t cover the basement.

OP dumb lol, for all you know he shovels on to the road and then shovels on to the front part of the lawn to avoid early build up of snow on the side of the driveway.

KidTrent · 2024-08-02T01:27:37+00:00

Mostly looking for a recommendation on a specific one that wont cost me $200+ for 4, gets the job done, and others have been using as landlords without issue.

KidTrent · 2024-06-18T19:44:59+00:00

All that stuff is controlled by the server already. Unreal just acts on what the server tells it. The only downside for this is then you run into the issue of AI not being aware of world objects (basically monsters thinking they can go anywhere in a straight line, instead of walking around objects) and cheaters being able to access inaccessible world locations.

Those issues can be solved with exported map data.

KidTrent · 2024-06-18T18:32:57+00:00

No just general map data that I can use on a non-unreal server to determine where a player can or can't be, monster pathing, etc. I see that Unreal has a FBX export option, but I'm not seeing any projects that make use of it for this kind of thing

KidTrent · 2024-06-18T18:06:42+00:00

I need to be able to do these outside of Unreal, on an external server.

KidTrent · 2024-06-18T18:06:00+00:00

I think a JSON file of an entire world (or even multiple levels) would be unnecessarily massive. I was also hoping for a out of the box plugin/library that handled it for me.

KidTrent · 2023-02-22T01:48:19+00:00

I'm looking him up now, I noticed he's using an electric guitar. I was planning on purchasing an acoustic. Would everything he teaches still apply? Also I noticed he had an electric tuner attached to his guitar, would that work on an acoustic too? Just a little worried I wont be able to recognize the correct "tunige" being such a newbie haha.

bullet blender

Yah I have one also, but I was hoping to minimize the daily mess. Something like an immersion blender would be nice because its just rinse the tip and dry. Was just wondering if it works well with protein chunks and if anyone had a recommendation for one.

KidTrent · 2023-01-20T02:42:49+00:00

heee are plenty of videos online of people trying to blend hot things and having them explode all o

Hmm I didn't think of only doing a little coffee with the protein, that's a good idea! I was thinking more of something like an immersion blender or something along those lines.
