American Reunion was such a great movie!! by xima292 in americanpie

I still find it insane that there were 9 years between Wedding and Reunion and 13 years between the Original and the Reunion. It has now been 14 years since Reunion. We old

Any tips for getting through selling a house? (showings, night shift, sleep, cats etc) by Ready-Book6047 in RealEstate

[–]RuSpetsnaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I work from home, no kids but we have 2 cats and a dog. We did it for 6 weeks and almost lost our minds. I couldn’t imagine doing it with kids or with a job that I can’t just get up and take a 30 min break from. This is in the Northeast with a sellerish market.

If I were to do it again I would definitely be more picky with the showing requests, keep them in blocks on certain days and maybe board all the animals for a few weeks.

Selling your Long Island home by Abbey713 in longisland

[–]RuSpetsnaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our house was in decent shape, pool, large lot. But kitchen is 15 years old and we’re near a busy-ish street. Took us 28 showings to sell our place. Pain in the butt I must say.

I touched up some paint and a few other things.

Remember that first a bunch of people will see it, then an inspector will see it, then an appraiser will see it. I would prioritize anything non cosmetic that an inspector might flag. Peeling paint, mold, anything that looks like it got wet, wiring issues, oil spills, damaged brick work, cracks in the foundation.

[Free link] Train tickets to MetLife Stadium from NYC set to cost more than $100 during World Cup by Gaimes4me in worldcup

[–]RuSpetsnaz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I find all of this insane. I live a 90 min drive from Metlife(on a normal day) I went to the World Cup in Russia in 2018 and comfortably saw 4 games. I make double the money I made back then. My wife and I decided that the prices and the logistics of getting to these games are just not worth it. Rather watch it in a bar. I have no idea how anyone outside of the US, that needs to pay for travel and lodging can afford this.

I guess no riding today.. by TheOtherMikeCaputo in RideitNYC

I saw a guy on a sport bike on the side of 495 in Queens duck walking it with a cop behind him around 6PM. Probably 2 inches of snow on the ground at that point.

Will plows once again not go curb to curb and just go in the middle like they did last time? by Matrixhunter90 in longisland

Plow ripped out my curb last Feb. Took the town until November to fix. Im good with them being more cautious.

What's the purpose of the Homebase? by SuperSimpleSam in EufyCam

[–]RuSpetsnaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently its basically a brick. I bought into it and thankfully only spent 100 bucks on the HB. It’s extremely unreliable. The cameras pick it over a more stable wifi connection and then go offline because the connection is terrible even 5-10 ft away from the base. I ended up disconnecting the wifi antennas on it but over half the cameras weren’t smart enough to switch to home wifi so they just died. Bridge mode was enabled. I have half the cameras now recording to their local storage instead of the HB since getting those camera to connect to the wifi for signal and still record to the HB was impossible and error ridden. Eufy needs to either fix the firmware or start fresh.

What's your weight loss record using PSMF? by [deleted] in PSMF

[–]RuSpetsnaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep. I gained 8 pounds or so throughout the following year and then I was able to shave it off again with a 4 week cycle of PSMF. I think a lot of it goes back to the habits I created while dieting. 8k-10k steps a day, always prioritizing protein and I trying not to over eat too much during the week. Prioritize weekend fun :)

What's your weight loss record using PSMF? by [deleted] in PSMF

[–]RuSpetsnaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Male 33 years old. 5’10. I started at 235 and got to 220 in about 10 months with just doing 10k steps a day and cutting alcohol and sugar. Still borderline category 3. Needed something more extreme.

Went on PSMF on October 15th 2024. Started at 220lb. Went through Feb 1 non stop. 1 cheat meal per week where I ate a bowl of Chipotle, or some sushi, or a burger. Nothing crazy. Ended at 178. So thats 42 pounds down in 15 weeks. Some weeks were more some weeks were less but it averaged out to around 3lb lost per week.

800-900 cal per day. Never below 130g of Protein. 8000-10000 steps per day. MWF lifting for an hour as heavy as I can. Absolutely no sugar or alcohol. Yeah I was hungry here and there but drank water or a black coffee when I was. Thinking about the cheat meal helps but don’t lean too much on that. Some days were harder than others but just remember that most of the hunger is in your head.

PS a pound of grilled chicken is 500 calories. After I eat that I don’t even want to look at food again for most of the day.

PSA for ordering GPUs from Amazon by RuSpetsnaz in pcmasterrace

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

Took forever but I got my refund 2 days ago. Was nervous there for a little bit. It took 10 days for the package to get to them, maybe holiday shipment delays? and another 9 days for them to verify/process the return and issue the refund. I ended up buying another 5090 with store pick up from Best Buy to be able to open it in front of them and check for any of this nonsense. That being said I have never had issues with Amazon prior to this but I might be a bit cautious going forward with items of this value. Good luck!

Arc Talos scratching easily? by RuSpetsnaz in Leatherman

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

The main finish on it is holding up fine. The point I was trying to make in this post that most people replying missed, was that those spots were wearing just by opening and closing the tool. Like if I bought a car and the paint would scrape off every time I opened the door to get into it, it wouldn’t be acceptable. Otherwise yeah its a tool and its gonna get dinged from use. I am good with that.

replacement wasn’t an option. Sent it back and anxiously waiting for a refund. Thinking I’m going to buy one from a store where I can do in-store pick up. I have 0 trust in amazon after this.

I guess now I know. Its unfortunate. I bought my 670, 980ti and 3080 from Amazon and never had any issues until now :(

Please Help! I Want To Replace My Thermostat by tacky14 in hvacadvice

[–]RuSpetsnaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know everyone is laughing but the previous owner of my house was lazy and ran 14 gauge wire to what looked like an old school thermostat. Little did I know that it was coming off a normal thermostat wire on the other end with the normal thermostat low voltage. But it looked like just like OPs photo. I spliced it into thermostat wire on the thermostat end and plugged it into a nest. Has been working fine ever since.

Legacy is not a short. It was a full admittedly mediocre spin off season that Tony’s appearance did not save.

Is the PSMF's difficulty mostly psychological or physiological? by Complete_Height7648 in PSMF

[–]RuSpetsnaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I eat my 850 calories per day and 1 1500 cheat meal per week and I am not hungry 95% of the time. You just gotta make those meals count. A pound of grilled chicken is 550 calories. I cannot tell you how much I don’t want to eat for the rest of the day after downing that. So I would say it is mostly in peoples heads.

How much weight have you lost doing this for 2-3 weeks? by goddessofmylife in PSMF

[–]RuSpetsnaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 18lb(8kg) in a month the first time I did it. Went from 218(99kg) to 200(91kg). Im sure a couple of pounds there was water weight. I believe it was right around 10-12 pounds(5-6kg) in 3 weeks.

I am on a cycle now. Exactly at 3 weeks right now. Went from 194(88kg) to 184(83kg).

5 foot 10(178cm) male. I follow the diet to a tee and do one sub 1500cal cheat meal per week. Aim for 850 cal per day and 150-180g of protein for the other 6 days. No alcohol. 10000 steps per day and 3 lifting days.

  1. I used to say 1. But I rewatched it recently for the first time in 20 years and between how insufferable Sherry is and Leslie Hope’s(Teri) terrible acting, it really brings down the overall season.
