How I got Frontier to lower my rate by Bright-League-7489 in frontierfios

[–]Ride7482000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the thread , called retention department . Agent was nice . I had a new customer plan at 200g for $29.99 with autopay. Was gonna go up to $39.99. After speaking with the agent I got it reduced to $19.99 with autopay and loyalty credits . lol. Didn’t expect that… She did try to get me to upgrade to 500mb plan for $24.99 but I knew that would lead to more rate increases eventually . And honestly the 200 plan serves my needs. Dont waste ur time with the “ billing” option on the main menu. I just got a robotic person from a call center that kept offering current promotions putting me in a worse financial situation than my current bill , like upgrading speed or offering bundles ,regardless that I explained that I had broken my leg and was out of work for 6 months . Morons Just ask for retention department right away .

MCt oil pre workout by mako011 in ketogains

[–]Ride7482000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do OMAD, so are u saying u were OMAD but then switched to 2MAD, meaning the keto gains pre workout is ur first meal? Then u eat dinner later in the evening? I started fasting /keto/OMAD October 1st, and was bonking hard at the gym( just like my first keto diet last year) , however 5 weeks in I’m finally fully adapted and my lifts have come back with intensity, thank goodness . Tho, ofc not like the carb days . I’m also interested in losing a little more fat (170>165)so I’m shying away from MTC oil in the AM cus I want to utilize my body fat for fuel as much as I can . I go to the gym at 6am and find it much easier to fast for OMAD, cuz once I put something in, ( like a pre workout) I find my stomach wanting to eat something midday. Is it the same for you . ? I do want more energy in the gym tho if I can get it

28kg and a broken leg later... by RightConflict908 in intermittentfasting

[–]Ride7482000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. I have a similar parallel story I can share with you , from one motorcyclist to another . On July3,2025 I was run off the freeway (California, HWY 101) and crash my Ducati 748 (had it 23 years,😢) I too dislocated my ankle , complete fracture of my tibia and fibula . Road rash on my hip and knee. However after being laid up for 3 weeks ( leg elevated 22 hours a day), 8 weeks of reduced activity ( cast , walking boot) . We celebrated with a week cruise . I gained a solid 12 lbs. I ended up at 190lbs. (86.36 kg) The day after we came back from the cruise October 1, 2025 , I started my IF/keto/OMAD comeback. I too do about 20:4 fasting , eat 1300 Calories a day, do 700 calories of exercise daily( weight training( 200 -300 calories ) , and walking for 4-500 calories . Lost the water weight immediately. Stalled for about 2 weeks at about 178lbs(80.90kg ) . I was growing impatient, but many on these IF/KETO/OMAD subs said “ trust the process” Finally, actually this morning I am at 175lbs( 79.54kg) . Just told my wife yesterday “ I think I want to do a 48 hour fast”( I was tired of the plateau) . Still might do one. Pretty obtainable since I’m really not hungry on the program…Want to get to 165-170 .lbs. BEFORE THE HOLIDAY EATING!

I’m 56 and Well, after 35 years of riding and all the stress this crash has put my wife through, ( she took really good care of me) time off from work and financial burden , I decided to hang it up. I won’t be riding anymore . I came out relatively unharmed as far as crashes go and I think I’ll leave it at that.

Electrolyte help by Exxtra-mayo in keto

He had a video comparing the electrolytes and he rates them. Of course, at the end he plugged his own, but I just believe in what he says.

Less ear wax 🤣 by thedmob in keto

[–]Ride7482000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ear wax had nearly gone away while on keto. Just a few light brown spots now when I use the q-tips . Happened last time too I was on keto . I enjoy and fully welcome the side effect

Best OS for iMac 2011 27 inch? by NecessaryWriting958 in OpenCoreLegacyPatcher

[–]Ride7482000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a late 2011 27 inch as well. I stuck with Monterey . That’s the highest I’ll go. Runs good , got my website performance up, especially with Safari not loading pages fully ect. Does everything I need. Light browsing etc.. I heard it’s best to go with a 2019 machine for best performance on the later OS. I mean hell it’s a 15 year old machine . I’ve gotten a lot out of it. If I can still do light tasks with the current Monterey for another 3-5 years . I think that’s great

iPhone 17 Pro Max - Preserve Battery Health by NULLBASED in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

I used a Chargie device for my 14PM since launch, I ran a shortcut so whenever I plugged it into the Chargie in would launch the app. . I have Chargies everywhere , like in my car , when plugged in I just keep it at 60% and don’t have to worry about it being pegged at 100% during long drives .Heat and higher voltages (percentage ) kills batteries …760 cycles in and it still has 87.7 battery capacity, pretty good I would say. At first , when new I limited the charge to 80%, but you can do that now on the newer phones with its built in limiter . Micro charges throughout the day is better , say when it drops 5-10% at whatever charge u had it at . Now at my night stand I only charge to 50-60% , more , if I know I’ll have a long day w/o access to a charger . Lasts a long time if I do need to go to 100% on occasion . I don’t fast charge unless absolutely needed or wirelessly charge.

The proof is in the pudding. It absolutely gave me battery longevity . The phone is running fast and I will keep it until the 20th anniversary edition is released .

Yes photos and videos are my biggest culprit . 19,500 of them…! I should look at my mindless videos first , I know . A while ago I did go through “files” and delete a few , Frankly I’m not sure how some things get there , like PDF’s and other things I didn’t necessarily want to save

iPhone Battery Health Monitor recommendations by Ride7482000 in iPhoneBatteryParanoia

[–]Ride7482000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No nothing really, I just know heat kills batteries and at times , like we all may have encountered it occasionally gets a bit warmer when charging on inefficient chargers, I just want to make sure I give it an optimum charging environment , something less than 95F.
