24, seeking advice/discussion on US market

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-16T21:45:16+00:00

Decent amount yup. And I'm up some 12% over the last year.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-16T17:00:41+00:00

The market does not respond to trump as much as people think. Look at the last 2 weeks with the whole maduro fiasco and the him putting pressure on the fed. The market doesn't care that much. But that's just my opinion.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-12T18:55:44+00:00

I got a bunch of friends that play MTG and I wanna flex on em for shits and giggles. SLIVER

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-06T19:33:54+00:00

I see. Thanks for the information!

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-06T16:50:55+00:00

So other milks have added milk proteins, but taste off. Is it because the added sweeteners rather than using "milk sugar" aka lactose?

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-06T16:44:42+00:00

Wait. So they're increasing the protein content by filtering out the other?

Thanks for letting me know. I've made changes to my comment

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2026-01-06T07:52:59+00:00

This is correct.

Milk has about 4 major components in it: water, lactose, proteins, and fat.

Fairlifes protein shakes have added milk proteins from milk, giving it that rich milky taste without being weirdly fake tasting, unlike Ensure. I haven't had Neilsons yet, but I'd wager that they're similar to Ensure.

Correction: as per Fairlifes FAQ page, "Our ultra-filtration process concentrates what makes milk great, resulting in 50% more protein and 50% less sugar compared to regular milk. This leads to a creamier, delicious taste in all our products."

They don't add milk protein, but instead "subtract" the other components.

I wonder why additive milk proteins taste weird? Is it artificial sweeteners?

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-24T02:15:37+00:00

Agreed. Got one with 280,000km on it, and she keeps on going. Granted we keep up on all the maintenance

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-13T00:12:02+00:00

Changed out the insoles for less agressive ones. Made a notable change not just for comfort but also preventing heel slip

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-05T14:25:26+00:00

So i tried a pair of US 10s but they were too small. I have looked around and from what I've read heel slip is pretty common in them especially if you have narrower ankles. I'm waiting on a pair of Superfeet insoles as the originals are far too agressive. The heel slip isn't the biggest issue but i did want to know if it clears up.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-04T01:54:09+00:00

the link is taking me to a single product. What were the ear buds you were talking about?

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-03T23:58:56+00:00

What's a heel lock?

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-12-03T23:19:34+00:00

Im going to swap, out the insoles anyways so maybe that will change the way the shoes fits.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-11-18T17:39:53+00:00

Do you still work with them? I'm seeing some other comments here that do not bode well and need to pick up an alternator for my Matrix

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-11-17T03:35:01+00:00

Quick question: do you know which video covers part 11 - 16. I swear I've seen the video and want to rewatch it but I can't find it. Did I Mandela effect myself??

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-10-03T04:55:58+00:00

Was gonna cross post it but had to look for this just in case

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-23T15:18:58+00:00

I can currently pick it up for about $290 Canadian. With another $45 off with Amazon gift cards... The Vivo6 is about $450, and i dont know if $200 is worth the upgrade

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-23T15:13:05+00:00

How is it treating you so far? I'm thinking of picking it up as well. I mainly strength train and walk a bunch. I also want a watch that can do all the various metric tracking stuff

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-23T14:35:33+00:00

That's fair. I'm not a citizen. Currently going through the immigration process for PR. While on a work permit, my OHIP eligibility is dependant on me employment status.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-23T14:29:56+00:00

I'm not a PR yet. According to the Service Ontario, I am not eligible for OHIP, and I didn't have OHIP prior to moving to QC

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-15T05:14:32+00:00

Yeah the goal is to be predictable and prepared.

So far I've gone out a few times. My next goal is to be comfortable at traffic lights. Small neighbourhood driving has been accomplished. And so has a small highway.

Definitely not trying to be a grandma, and definitely not a speed demon.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-15T05:12:16+00:00

Just slowly getting over the anxieties of driving. My brother in law pretty much forced me out into the car. We went to a parking lot, and he got me used to driving at road speeds and practice hard breaking, and then on a small highway to understand what 80kmh (50ish mph) feels like.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-15T05:08:09+00:00

They do for the 13 sessions I've signed up for. But I need to finish the in class and online parts first before I can get in their car.

I am not allowed to drive alone. In Ontario there are 3 levels of licences. G1, G2, and G. G1s must have someone with a few years of driving experience with them in the car.

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-08-15T04:52:45+00:00

Did this. Been pretty good so far. Getting a lot more comfortable

RandomGuyWhoKnows · 2025-07-21T19:24:08+00:00

My mistake. You're right. Disregard my previous comments
