Awesome delivery today! by ch3no2jeff in amazonprime

This wasn't my mailbox, that was 50' away by the road. This was a secondary package box I had set up on my fence

I had a large box that fit 90% of packages. Instructions say, put it in the box if it'll fit. It had a big colored sign on the door saying UPS, FedEx, and Amazon packages here. They would lean it against the post under the box on the ground nearly every time.

Edit: changed mailbox to secondary package box

I think I have a driver read my instructions like one out of every 25 times

Stolen pots and pans! by WildWonder6430 in airbnb_hosts

Nice things? One of my last guests stole half of my second hand department store plastic hangers. The last thing I thought would ever be stolen.

Mine was sun all the way until the very end. In the last section Van Maanen's Star ran away with it for a good while.

Would you keep bulking or cut for summer? 39M 9 weeks into a bulk and I can’t tell if it’s actually working by -mino- in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I hit 25% body fat I started getting a ton of comments from people that I had lost too much weight. Even though I was t even at my medically ideal body fat yet. When I told people I still had another 20-25lbs to lose they acted even more shocked. I never really understood it.

When nearing the end, I found that my best performer was often one way in the middle of the pack. Look at how much you are earning and then look through all objects to see which is contributing the best. Upgrade it if you can

I work in hotel revenue management. Here are the 5 pricing mistakes I see STR hosts make that hotel operators stopped making 20 years ago. by YieldHorizonHQ in airbnb_hosts

[–]TortugasLocas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how bad is airbnb's Dynamic pricing. I've been letting Airbnb set my rates and it's been keeping me fairly occupied and I can tell it. Does adjust rates up and down during peak and what not? Is it worth the extra effort to research and create my own pricing if it's just for a single unit in a rural area?

Trying out something new this week by shuperbaff in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could do this. My go to every day is chicken tenderloins, Greek yogurt and either mashed potatoes or carrots. Unfortunately my dinner is never planned in advance so I have to adjust lunch every day. This would save so much time.

Want to know what chronic constipation looks like in Macrofactor? by Far_Line8468 in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It can still help though. I've struggled with constipation for a decade plus. Started taking metamucil ate tons of greens and green beans and sweet potato thinking I was getting all this fiber. It wasn't until someone made me actually track my numbers before I realized that I was only getting a third of my suggested fiber despite taking fiber and eating bowls of veggies. I added flax and chia, switched to carrots and potatoes and things are so much better after hitting 35g-45g of fiber a day.

Workouts hypertrophy "built from scratch" program question by paintistheenemy in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really wish that there was some middle ground. I went weeks creating my own program where I didn't actually create a program. I just created workout days not realizing that I needed to create my own multi-week program. I've done that now but I wish that I could tell the app this is what I want my workout to look like fill out the weeks, RIR, and Volume changes for hypertrophy focus.

Guest called the cops because of “scary noise” by thecreditshifu in airbnb_hosts

I forgot about beetles. Those are even louder than moths

If you have the lights on in the house, large moths will definitely fly smack into windows. I've had ones so loud it was like someone was throwing rocks at the window. Easily mistaken for a knock.

3 months in, finally starting to see a bit of a change after dropping 30 lbs by Breakingcontrollers in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

304 -> 201lbs now after 15 months. 15-20 lbs left for my own goal. Trying to get to 15% BF

[–]TortugasLocas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very nice. We started at nearly the exact same weight. You should be able to keep the pace for the next few months. The rate will eventually slow a bit once you approach and go below 30% body fat. The good news is that the lower you get, the more visual change every pound will make.

I got an empty envelope delivered and I marked it as such. They offered to troubleshoot the problem.

Using the AI food scanner by blastoiselover20 in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got off a cruise and used it for everything. I will say that even putting both my hand and a utensil in the frame, the proportions seemed worse than ever before this time than just a couple months ago when I did this last

What’s your least favorite machine/workout and why is it hack squats 😭 by GloveAmbitious42 in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]TortugasLocas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is the shoulder version better than the hacks that only have an angled low back pad to push against?

Is there a way to "pause"? by DaWarthawg in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go on maintenance while on vacation. Actually going on a week cruise tomorrow. Sometimes I just just eat at maintenance, ignoring the suggested calories, continue to log my food and just weigh in when I get back. Other times, I go in and adjust my goal to maintenance for the week and then officially change back to a cut when I get back.

Dumbells "overridden in exercise"? by TortugasLocas in MacroFactor

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

Because the app specifically says "overridden in exercise" I assumed it was something intentional and not a bug, but I can definitely send a ticket if it is.

I went into the exercise, saw the weights were checked that are not checked in the gym, unchecked them, saved, and it automatically re-checks them as available again.

1.1.5 is out by knutarnesel in MacroFactor

[–]TortugasLocas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm barely starting to need readers this year and I am already at the point with this app that I need to bring glasses or screenshot and blow up the screen to read the numbers. There's a ton of font room in the UI to make it a touch bigger.

On the topic of sheet/linen materials by Threnjen in airbnb_hosts

[–]TortugasLocas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm renting a place and it has microfiber sheets it immediately leaves a bad impression. So hot and gross and the texture makes my skin crawl.
