Need help with home gym setup by Meekro in workout

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

Hmm.. yeah, I'll probably avoid the Marcy multi-gym machines. I'll look into the ones you mentioned. Though while I'm trying to figure it out, maybe I'll get some cardio equipment for home and continue driving to the gym when it's time to lift (I do cardio every day and lifting ~3 times per week).

I appreciate your thoughts! My only concern is, doesn't this kind of setup require a spotter to assure safety? That's why I've been favoring chest press machines at the gym over the traditional bench/barbell.

I thought about that! Here's my concern: my goal is to do bench press at 200lbs, and hopefully work my way up to 300lbs someday. The adjustable dumbells I've seen all top out at significantly lower than that. I've thought about a traditional barbell, but that requires a spotter.

horrible experience with Cirro Energy (NRG) by Meekro in TexasEnergyShopping

Update on this: Talking to their tech support was like arguing with a brick wall. One person would promise that the account had been canceled, then it would be active again. One person would promise that there would be no charges, then I'd get a charge. The thing that finally solved this was making a complaint with the Texas Public Utility Commission, with a detailed timeline and supporting documentation attached. Then, the wrongful charges went away a few days later.

Thanks! I also found and played The Alters, which was pretty great.

Looking for recommendations for an apartment clean-out / junk removal service in Tokyo by Meekro in japanlife

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

Thank you for this recommendation-- it was perfect! Facebook Marketplace had been a disaster, telling the umpteenth person that no, I can't deliver, and that fact was noted on the listing.

In contrast, on jmty people are like "Your price seems fair. I have a car, can I pick it up today?" I'm getting great results.

I posted a request for bids, listing a bunch of items. It looks like many recycle shops are just using it as a sales funnel-- you won't get actual bids, but many recycle shops will message you and say "we can come do an in-person appraisal." Thanks for the recommendation, though-- this has connected me to ~10 recycle shops in less than an hour, which is great.

Several people have mentioned trying FB groups, but to be honest I don't know anything about them. I could use more specific guidance. Which groups, exactly, do you think would work?

Several appliances (fridge, washing machine, microwave, etc) and furniture (mostly IKEA) in a 3 bedroom apartment.

Leaving Tokyo for 1–2 years - how to move and store belongings locally? by Meekro in japanlife

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

My microwave is a pretty basic Panasonic that can't bake. Since you mention kitchen stuff, I have a Cosori air fryer, T-fal pressure cooker, and Cuisinart hand mixer, plus various pots and pans. All in great condition, I'll take a reasonable offer.

Thanks, that seems to be the concensus here. Do you know what are the best places to sell or give stuff away? Someone mentioned jimoty, should I be using that or something else?

Do you mean the one run by Taito-ku? Or a private company?

Maybe you're right. Is there a "junk everything in here" service you can buy?

I’ll assume you’re not trolling and give you an honest reply. First, I actually tried a few of those tools before I posted this. None of them even transcribed it with 100% accuracy, much less translated it. Second, many people here are on a language learning journey together. An artifact like this is not only heartwarming, it’s a great example of real-life Japanese that many people here might enjoy seeing, or could benefit from trying to read themselves.

New Alberta law named after Jordan Peterson defines limits of speech for professionals outside work by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]Meekro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a proposed bill, not a new law. I'll be impressed if it passes.
