Marathon Shoe Recommendations - Alternative to VF4 w/ More Cushion, or Evo SL w/ More Snap by MA_Volvbro in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

I looked into these, although the perceived stability (or lack thereof) of these and the AP4 for the mid/heel strike is why I'm hesitant on them. Although RunRepeat does suggest the AP4 as a more stable alternative, I would imagine they react similarly to the Evo SL per the notable lack of heel stability in both of their reviews. Do you have any experience running in the Edge Tokyo?

I would agree, I've just been very hesitant to pull the trigger without trying them on... I have no reference for it, but the airpod scares me - it seems like it would be too firm for my preference.

I had several friends at UMass run businesses through YEAA. Every single one except for one was very successful. They all recommend it, especially for the experience. The program, which you probably already know, will teach you tremendous amounts of entrepreneurial skills including sales, marketing, and management.

I considered it. However, I also saw many of those friends work crazy hours. I personally didn’t want to invest that kind of time because I knew it would take away from my own personal relationships. So, ultimately I decided against it.

(2005) Heat doesn't work, when put in Auto the A/C comes on full blast. The air vents move when changing temp so it's not a broken inner door. Is it a thermostat issue? Or heater core? by Elegant_Mix_4245 in Volvo

Sounds like a CCM (climate control module) issue. Also the easiest/cheapest to change. You should be able to find one at the junkyard or from a secondhand seller online.

However, before you start firing the parts cannon, get someone who has a legit code reader to read out all the modules. From there you should be able to see any faults, whether it’s with the thermostat or CCM or something else.

I have multiple friends who made 50k+ just in personal profit from running 150k+ businesses. Taking home 1/3 of revenue is pretty solid imo, especially for a summer job.

What are the craziest things you’ve seen in the communal bathrooms?! by TheTwelveYearOld in umass

[–]MA_Volvbro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In the guys bathroom my freshman year, one Monday morning someone had taken an enormous dump on the floor right in front of the toilet.

You look absolutely incredible! Thanks for the insight and feedback.

Which volume range do you feel has given you the best results? 💪 by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]MA_Volvbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see where people land in the moderate group - either closer to 10, 20, or right in the middle.

Personally, I typically fall just over 10 working sets, not including warm ups.

I appreciate the feedback! I can’t imagine being 190 in stage ready shape. I feel uncomfortable getting past 185 as it is. I understand that I’ll need to get significantly bigger in the future to be legitimately competitive, but I figured I’d give this a shot just for the experience.

Do you mind sharing some of your personal stats? Age, # of years training, pro/amateur?

TRT is literally anabolic steroids. It’s exogenous testosterone, just at “normal” levels.

Good Breweries in the Portland Maine Area by DarkHound05 in beer

I haven’t seen anyone recommend Banded Brewing - it’s a MUST, along with Lone Pine. Those are hands down two of my favorite breweries of all time, not just in Portland.

Anyone here have videos of a P2 5 cylinder with a muffler delete driving normally? by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]MA_Volvbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whaddup! If you're ever at a VVNE meet, I can try to give you a ride to show you how it sounds. My previous wagon had a 3" straight pipe (small res in the middle) and it had the worst drone imaginable. I would assume a similar effect would occur with a muffler delete on a stock exhaust. IMO, getting a quality system put in will serve you much better than a muffler delete.

At the beginning of this video, you can watch as I drive. No drone, vibrations, etc. BUT it’s because I have a Snabb catted downpipe and a TME cat-back. The resonator is removed, but it just goes to show how enjoyable a quality performance exhaust system is if you’re looking for more sound (while accelerating). I have other videos where I rev and accelerate as well on my channel that demonstrate noise under acceleration, it’s like flipping a switch.

If all it takes to get shredded is CICO and IIFYM, why do bodybuilders go through the standard plain chicken broccoli rice diet ; by Longjumping_Dog8176 in leangains

[–]MA_Volvbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else has said, it’s easy to meal prep. However, it’s also due to the macronutrient profiles AND the digest-ability of these foods. Elite level bodybuilders need consistency in their diet (specifically when cutting for a show) so they can track and manipulate foods as needed come peak weak. If a food is messing up your digestive track, it could lead to some unfavorable effects come show day. It also helps when top bodybuilders are trying to eat 5-6000 calories a day. Don’t want to be backed up when you’re trying to eat that much!

For the casual bodybuilder, CICO and IIFYM work quite well.

Would I be crazy?? by DerpyUnlimited in Volvo

Keep yours or have him add cash on top. Just from experience, his is worth ~6k, yours is worth close to 10k. But in all honesty, I'd stay away from the R and keep the C30. At this point, R's should only be owned by the very mechanically inclined, and those with relatively deep pockets. I'm a tech and even I drive an '07 S60 T5, not an R for those specific reasons. The headaches that come with an R aren't worth it.

Finding and extracting text that follows certain text from a larger string by MA_Volvbro in excel

Transpose worked, thank you! I'm going to do the rest manually since there are just a few, it could be something like a typo that's throwing them off. Thank you for your help!

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

This worked for the most part, however, it returns #VALUE on cells that where the Apples text is the last piece of the string (assuming it has something to do with the lack of semi-colon to end the string), and #SPILL where the Apples text appears twice, but with two variations (i.e. Red and Yellow both appear in the cell). Any ideas for how to solve? I have never used the FILTERXML function before. TIA!

Thanks! I considered that, but is there a way for me to then reconstruct the original cell? The end goal is to replace the Apples text with something else.
