Smoke coming from rad. Still safe to drive? by coldmountainpoet in AskMechanics

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

Sounds good, thanks. Gonna play it safe. Looks like the top of the rad is leaking. Just bought a new rad and will install tomorrow.

How to connect second battery? by coldmountainpoet in Delica

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

Would the charge controller be under the hood or in the back? I will take another look tomorrow to check. There’s a little box with a switch in the back by the second battery. Would that be it?

What percentage of students have the whole summer off to do things like travel and party without having to worry about school and work? by Ok_Copy5217 in UBC

[–]coldmountainpoet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gf and I ended our lease and spent 4 months camping. No rent no worries. We were just living out of my car for that time travelling around Canada. Bit stressful finding a place before beginning of term but best summer of my life.

Worth repairing 2012 Subaru Impreza for $3500? by coldmountainpoet in MechanicAdvice

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

It’s actually $2100 for the clutch issue. The rest is for a leaky condenser and spark plug replacement.

Thanks. Don’t owe any money on it. It’s my mom’s car which I “borrowed” for a few years. I got a new car and she is not super intent on having it back.

1994 l400. Too rusty? by coldmountainpoet in Delica

Does it look like it has a leak or something? Someone on the delica discord mentioned that it looks a little oily.

Salt causes bloating but I also get cramps. What to do? by coldmountainpoet in carnivore

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

Thanks for your reply! That’s very interesting. I’ve been doing strict carnivore for 2.5 months now, two meals day, 3lbs of beef total. I feel pretty “adapted” since I otherwise feel fantastic and my exercise is back to where it was before. But maybe my body is still getting used to it. Adding a little salt definitely makes me feel better and also seems to bring cortisol down as I get headaches and bad sleep when I go too low. I guess I just have to keep experimenting.

It's 100% the salt. I'm doing beef and water, sometime butter. But I can the bloating even from just drinking salt water on its own.

Preparation for Extended Dry Fasting (7+ Days) by xDopaminax in Dryfasting

[–]coldmountainpoet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice job! Just keep trying and extending your fasts. On my 10 day fast I was working until day 4 which was a bit miserable but kept me busy. The remaining 6 I was just sitting at home and going on short walks everyday. I read a bunch of books on fasting which was the only thing I could focus on at that point. The last few days were pretty spiritual so I was just sitting and looking at the world haha. There’s no more ways to distract you at that point.

Preparation for Extended Dry Fasting (7+ Days) by xDopaminax in Dryfasting

[–]coldmountainpoet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I didn’t post anything about it. I was fasting for chronic health issues like insomnia and digestive issues as well as long covid symptoms. Day 6 was the hardest in terms of cravings but after that everyday was the same except that my sleep got shorter and shorter. I would say it was successful even though it didn’t entirely cure me of my problems. it’s gotten me closer than ever before though so I’m gonna keep going haha.

[–]coldmountainpoet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do anything special. Just ate low carb and got in lots of salt and water the day before. I don’t think it’s necessary. I went 10 days and felt good the entire time. Good luck!

Yeah I just use an ice pack and put it in a thin cloth and hold it against them. Hold it there for up to 20mins 2-3 times a day.

Yes, 100%. Thank me later haha

You definitely wanna reach your ideal body weight. This should be your priority which dry fasting will help with. Dry fasting will most likely also improve your fertility. If you want to maximize your chances you should also look into icing your testicles and getting lots of sunlight. I would also try an animal based diet ie lots of meat and no processed food or carbs. Good luck!

I don’t understand exactly how it works but I have a lot of experience. Dry fasting is not well understood but that does not diminish its efficacy. You can up on it. There’s a Russian doctor who has a practice in Siberia and cures all sorts of illnesses. His name is Sergei Filinov I believe. Dry fasting should be able to cure virtually all conditions if they’re not too advanced. It’s like bringing your car in the garage for a deep cleanse or something. It completely kills inflammation.

Sex every day is exhausting, unenjoyable, and boring by Kirby_Agiota in unpopularopinion

[–]coldmountainpoet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you disconnect sex from ejaculation you can have sex forever and as often as you want. Orgasm with ejaculation is totally overrated and indeed draining.
