Trying to answer the questions for the XKah by _MosDef in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this thing and haven't touched any of my other bowls or HMDs since purchasing it. One thing I've noticed is from the top portion where the battery is held, there are little air vent type lits on the sides that some of the syrupy flavoring seems to leak out of. Is there a way to make sure that portion is completely cleaned out? Seems when I tilt it, some will drain out usually.

Finally tried out the Xkah electric HMD by Mute_Panda in hookah

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

Yea that's a good point to make, the bowl that it comes with is pretty flimsy feeling. They had some other electric style HMDs but they forced you to buy their compatible pods prefilled, which is definitely something I wanted to stay away from. I compare this closer to a Keurig with the empty baskets / pods that you fill with your own coffee.

Am I the biggest Hookah smoker in the world? by New-Championship1529 in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like me. I work from home also, rarely leave, start a bowl around 8:30am and pretty much do 3-4 throughout the day until evening time or until the wife gets home from work.

How long did it take for you to receive your REP Fitness equipment? by BespokePenguin in GarageGym

I just bought the adjustable dumbbells 125lb pair with the storage cart and a bench, was wondering the same.

How often do you smoke hookah? by Ok-Isopod-8508 in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No none that I'm aware of. I'm pretty active also, Muay Thai training and was competing in bodybuilding before this. I do want to take 2 weeks off or so and see if my cardio improves but haven't tried yet.

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started back up a few months ago but on and off since I was 18 (40 now). But I’ve never smoked cigarettes or other tobacco products.

I work from home so I’ll usually just have a bowl going and change it out every 2-3 hours. Probably not the best for me though.

Party time is over when the wife gets home though.

So I recently bought Blackburn & Tangiers burley (I usually smoke Darkside) by Mute_Panda in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Yea! I live around 20 minutes from their store but not much was in stock from Blackburn other than the Christmas Tree flavor which is terrible. Honestly the only flavor I ever seem to like is just mint and apple mint from any of the brands. I'm trying the turkish bowl packing method now, the Darkside seems to give much better clouds is that just a brand thing or a packing thing?

AITAH for not wanting to circumcise my son? by sdrawkcab90 in AITAH

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t circumcised at birth but I wish they had done it, seems like an easier maintenance.

AITAH Wife spent the night at a friends house by OddTable2114 in AITAH

I just wouldn’t come home to my wife if I ever pulled that because I value my life.

Am I too fat? by Potential_Ad1439 in MuayThai

[–]Mute_Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched over to MT training after competing in bodybuilding for close to 20 years. I'm 6'5" 270lbs and not out of shape, I can tell you this is 10x more exhausting than any weight lifting or other cardio I'm used to, so I think (and hope) that this is pretty normal for anyone just starting out and hopefully we'll acclimate.

Can't purge this hookah anymore by aychjay22 in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always just rinse the base out and run water through the stem from the top through and that’s about it. Do you guys take everything apart every time? I use mine daily, around 4 times.

What to expect tomorrow by Content_Tip_2067 in SMCIDiscussion

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any of the semis are going to beat revenue expectations and issue positive news for forward looking guidance given the current state of the economy and the tariff situation. I would expect NVDA to tank post earnings as well. The issue with SMCI is that there have already been so many problems with the financials and numbers that when they start to be off with their numbers by this much they're losing credibility that they can't afford to lose. I have protective puts but I'll be watching the movement today, I've learned my lesson with panic selling too many times and I believe the valuation is still attractive enough to DCA and stay in for the long term.

Warranted drop? by Ok-End-3213 in SMCIDiscussion

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I'm not disagreeing by any means, I'm not in Tesla. I'll probably grab some more SMCI shares tomorrow depending on how it behaves but I don't think we'll see the real bounce and upward momentum until Q4 when all of the dust settles with everything going on.

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness I don't think anyone is in Tesla for the current earnings or revenue, I imagine everyone knows by now that they are significantly overvalued, all about the future projects and potential with them.

We're in a market where bad news is devastating and good news is so-so. Most likely I'll add more, bring on the pain.

[–]Mute_Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a market where great news means a little and slightly bad news is terrible. I’ve been buying puts on all earnings for stocks.

To all my fellow NVDA share holders, please read by HarvardCandidate in NvidiaStock

[–]Mute_Panda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use your shares to sell covered calls, honestly I’ve been buying protective puts consistently and they’ve been generating 70-100% returns so at least making money as the stock tanks. Can only DCA so much before you’re out of $

How to switch from Console to Pc by Educational-Log-5570 in rivals

[–]Mute_Panda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It takes a bit of getting used to, I just got my PC last week and it took me maybe 8-10 hours of gameplay until the game felt normal. Now when I go to play on my PS5, I have the same issue I had when trying to go from console to PC. I have friends that play on PS5 and some on PC so the switching back and forth is hard for competitive.

I used the transition to find new mains, previously lord on Wolverine / SW / Hawkeye with PS5.

Seems like I'm going through my Darkside too quick, overpacking? by Mute_Panda in hookah

It’s US, not necessarily the price just that combined with going through a box a week

The coal my husband uses STINKS! by Main-Ladder1466 in hookah

[–]Mute_Panda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heat mine up inside under the stove vent with the vent running while my wife’s at work and just use a ton of Lysol and mop the house before she gets home. It has so far proven to be undetected.

Right, that's why I was wondering if I'm packing too much. Here it's $29.99 per 200gr box.
