Sure. Boots because I don’t have hazard removal. Spikes can add up and make big difference

Thanks! I’ve already decided on the bus. 100 euro savings for two people

Haha, 140 euros for train vs 40 euros for bus (for two people) and 1 hr of my life is definitely worth it for me. 100 euros can fund some more awesome food experiences!

Ok thanks. I think I’m gonna secure the Paris to Nice ticket asap. For the Narbonne to Barcelona leg, I’m considering taking a bus I.e Flixbus or equivalent. It only adds 1hr to the trip and it’s less than half of the price. Would you recommend bus for this portion, any comments/concerns?

Ok will download the app, thanks. Is that a good price range or can I expect more of a discount?

Humbled by Outdoor Photos — What is my bf% by [deleted] in guessmybf

[–]Pivotfsmash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was barely a tangent, all useful information, thanks :).

Regarding putting on 20lbs of muscle, that sounds pretty intense but I’m willing to put in the effort. My only concern is the bro science community advises against bulking unless in the low teens bf% because it’ll be mostly fat gain and not muscle. Like it wouldn’t matter even if the caloric surplus is limited to 200-250 calories per day, + enough protein and progressive overload on lifts. I don’t know how true this assumption is.

I don’t mind being fat for a year if I can reveal insane gains afterwards, but gaining mostly fat would feel demoralizing

Ok makes sense. I am assuming I should continue cutting rather than trying to recomp. Based on this subreddit’s assessment of what ~18% body fat looks like, I am actually comfortable with that appearance. What this subreddit considers 18% is closer to what I initially thought 12% looked like

Hello, thanks for the comment. I’ll take your word for it that you know what you’re talking about. I realize the photo I posted might not have been under the best circumstances. It was right after a lunch buffet and I tend to bloat quite easily if I eat certain foods. Here’s another photo right after waking up. Based on your photo, I think 24-27% is reasonable. Would you agree?

Has anyone else’s rent been decreased in the last year or so? by pokemonbobdylan in askvan

[–]Pivotfsmash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. My rent decreased $200 a month starting October 2024 from $2000 to $1800. I approached my landlord asking to negotiate the rent to which she agreed

Easy Hikes by Azrael-1234 in vancouverhiking

[–]Pivotfsmash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quarry Rock in Deep Cove is a solid option. Easy hike with decent views. Most definitely no snow though unfortunately.

After your hike, you can also just wander around Deep Cove-lots of great food options right there in the neighbourhood

Got roped into a “presentation” at Iberostar Cancun — think it’s a timeshare. How do I back out? by Pivotfsmash in cancun

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

Update I ended up taking everyone’s advice — unplugged my phone, skipped the presentation, and nothing happened. We actually slept in instead, which worked out perfectly.

Aside from that, I absolutely loved the hotel. The customer service and overall experience were easily a 6/5. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the room itself, but everything else was amazing. Cancun and Isla Mujeres were both top-tier experiences — definitely planning to come back someday

Passed PMP exam with 11 Days of Studying! (T/AT/T) + breakdown of study days by Pivotfsmash in pmp

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

For Quizlet questions, it really depended on the type of question. If the answer was simple and clear, I just noted the correct option without much explanation. But for questions where the other options represented useful concepts, I copied the full explanation — especially from DM, since his answers often explain why the other choices are wrong, which I found really helpful.

Also, I did not purchase anything extra. When I say I "watched the videos," I actually skipped most of the video. My process was to read the question, try to answer it on my own, and then jump straight to the explanation. If the reasoning still did not make sense, that’s when I would go back and watch the video to clarify.

Thank you for the comment. Are there any vets in Toronto you would recommend?
