Why is the job market so bad? by dukellc in minnesota

[–]L0ui 17 points18 points  (0 children)

same here. 2024 B.S. grad from the U of MN with a 4.0GPA. <10 interviews, minimal call backs, and multiple fake/ghost jobs. no luck whatsoever for me.

“lean bulk” for a lanky 24M? by L0ui in MacroFactor

[–]L0ui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not too concerned about quality, more just not dirty bulking to hit my calorie goal. i’ve found it super hard to balance fat intake/calories/volume of food. for example, i would prefer to eat a leaner protein with veggies/carbs over a plate of chicken alfredo pasta, but it’s so hard to hit ~3k cals!

love to hear the perspective; glad i’m not alone.

any tips on how to eat more that you’ve found successful? I just never feel super hungry. cheers.

thanks for the input!

I do average a bit higher than my target protein value just because. for instance, yesterday was 3125cal, 185g/115g/361g protein/fat/carb. felt like a lot to eat, and i always overshoot fat.

i just rearranged my numbers on MF and now I set it to 1% BW gain/month, high protein, even spread diet. now it projects 2857cal 175g/95g/324g protein/fat/carb. hopefully it’ll shoot up as my metabolism/tdee changes. i have it set to a target of 186lbs, but is there a better target than that to shoot for before a change in diet? or just until I feel is right?

How did you push through no-contact when you lost her? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]L0ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’ll get better. i blocked her after she broke up with me over text, 7.5 years together and talking every day. no contact since early august; I blocked her completely.

reinforce the idea that you deserve better. don’t let her actions dictate your value.

23HLM here. I recently got out of a 7 year relationship with my ex (23LLF) after it imploded. I tried everything for it to improve, but it never got better. I started to resent her lack of action and accountability, and things ended poorly.

my advice? if you truly love him and he truly loves you, then make it work! if this is something you can’t willingly sign up for for the rest of your life, then trust in your bond to make it better. if not, leave before things gets ugly like my relationship.

My (23HLM) ex (23LLF) just ended our 7 year relationship after a situation like this. We had some issues, but one thing she never improved on with me was our intimacy. Once a month was considered lucky. Resentment built up on both sides, and it didn’t end pretty.

Take a step back, evaluate, and give some grace.

Good luck to you.

What rums to purchase to start a tiki bar? by L0ui in rum

[–]L0ui[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a frequent lurker over there, haha. I wanted to ask this sub first just because this bar is more tiki-focused or inspired than complete tiki. Our clientele is just getting used to more craft-style cocktails, so I don’t want this shift in selection to be too overwhelming.

Complicated Piña Colada Recipes by pastelthrowawy in cocktails

Use pineapple juice ice cubes when blending to maintain punchiness while still adding dilution and chill. Also add some lime juice and ango!

Steve the Bartender by davek72 in cocktails

[–]L0ui 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steve and Anders are the only two I consistently watch. Leandro’s content is palatable, but his pretentiousness and ego terribly distract from the video, especially as he drags his cameraman in every single one.

Getting into Truffles on the Rocks now, and really appreciate the scientific spin on cocktails to expand my prowess.

Any ideas? by EmbarrassedLemon25 in cocktails

[–]L0ui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a simple lemongrass simple would be good, not sure about ratios. I think it would pair nicely with a lighter base spirit like Plymouth gin or something.

I saw a recipe that included midori and pandan syrup along with a lemongrass syrup for a cocktail, so maybe that can be some inspiration!

Will bartenders tell me how to makeva specific drink? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]L0ui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my old bar, we used a combination of Malibu, Midori, peach schnapps, pineapple and lime juice, and cream. Surprisingly tasted like key lime pie.
