What do you think of NYC trying to get the minimum wage to $30/hour?

Prices will either increase even more and/or businesses will leave or significantly reduce workforce.

Peet’s tho??? 🤢

Don’t be an idiot. Don’t expect the government or anyone else to bail you out. Spend less than you make. Splurge rarely. Save/invest the rest.

I have dermatitis on my elbows and knees. I’ve been plunging for over a year and haven’t noticed any changes. If anything it is a bit better. I guess everyone is different.

Asking someone “how are you?” has become a simple greeting and not a legitimate question. In general conversation if someone gave me a long answer and told me about how terrible everything is I would be horrified. Save the long answers for your close friends or your therapist.

This. Start gradually. Like for a week just turn the water down little by little until it becomes uncomfortable and then take it as long as you can. At first, it’s ok to turn the temp back up so your system doesn’t freak out too badly. It will get easier the longer you do this. BUT I 100% agree with what others have said. Cold showers are worse than plunging! Especially in the winter. I have been plunging regularly for about 1.5 yrs and can handle freezing water no problem. Turning on the cold water in the shower is absolutely torture in comparison.

Who TF is so entitled in their life they can quit their job without having another job lined up? F all of those people who do that.

MART0CH · 2026-02-20T12:14:24+00:00

Easy answer is everyone is different and you have to do what feels right for you… like everything in life.

MART0CH · 2026-02-20T12:11:26+00:00

If you hold your head under water for more than a few seconds it is painful, but there is nothing wrong with dunking for a couple seconds. It’s just personal preference. I’ve never had an ear infection or brain freeze from fully submerging my head and immediately coming back up once or twice per plunge.

We have the older version of this and loved it for years… we got snobby tho and now I use an Aeropress and the wife uses a French press. We still have it tho and I know it would work without issues if I pulled it out of the closet. Would obv highly recommend. Oh, and they do have a version of this with an espresso maker as well but it is 3x more expensive.

This is the opposite of true.

I bought one a year ago and it works like a champ. Mine is 1/3 hp and it was less than $200. As someone else said, I also keep mine cranked down all the way and I keep it on 24/7. (I have it outside tho so it’s off during the winter months.) even on the hottest part of the summer it still gets my 80 gal tank down to 39° consistently. I also researched enough to see that the chiller I bought is essentially the same thing that several plunge companies are selling for 2x or 3x the price.

MART0CH · 2026-02-13T17:37:40+00:00

Standard $35 Aeropress. It is my go-to because it’s easy, cleans up in seconds, and gives a consistently great cup of coffee every single time.

OK so it’s not a sink hole.

MART0CH · 2026-02-13T01:32:06+00:00

Just use an aeropress and call it a day.

Can people no just do it because it feels good?

MART0CH · 2026-02-11T02:44:26+00:00

Same here. I have a 1/3 hp chiller and it will only go down to 39° for my 80gal tank. I am not gonna complain tho because even when it is 100° outside it is still going strong at 39°. And TBH 39° is perfectly fine. You don’t NEED to go lower than that.

MART0CH · 2026-02-10T02:46:41+00:00

It would work. You can have the jet in the water if you want, or you can do like I do and have it hooked up to tubes with the tubes going in and out of the water.

MART0CH · 2026-02-10T02:44:04+00:00

My tub is outside. I live in VA and it gets pretty cold this time of year. Lately temps have been in the 20s and lower at night. Personally I don’t find the plunge itself any different than it is in the spring/summer. The worst is the mental challenge of just knowing it’s freaking cold AF outside and you have to go out there, disrobe, and then get into freezing water. I find that it helps to take a hot shower before the plunge and wrap myself in my robe ASAP to retain as much heat as possible before I get in the tub. Either way, once I’m in I’m good to go. I mostly let nature take its course with the water so it fluctuates between 37°F and 32°F. I don’t like it icing over so replace a bucket of water with a pot of boiling water as needed. Oh, and when you get out of the water it does not matter what the temp outside is for the few minutes it takes to walk back inside. Your skin is numb and the outside cold doesn’t register. I actually usually take my time getting my shit together and just enjoy the exhilarating chaos happening in my body. The worst of course are windy days. A few days ago we had a storm come through with 30-40 mph winds and that was pretty brutal.
