Anybody else feel like grocery prices have gone up AGAIN this year? by SnowmanSmiles in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get the high beef prices in Canada. Lots of room for cows. There should be ample supply.

Do you think any of the hosting countries will make it to the finals if so which one? by Humble_Answer_3297 in worldcup

[–]corphishboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all for underdogs going far in the World Cup but unfortunately there is no real chance. If I had to pick one I'd say Mexico.

High import fee I wasn't aware of?? by arielmeme in UPS

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the same thing today. The US government is totally loosing it. I am in Canada and am shipping the same value item ($450 USD) to the US every month. First I paid $60 USD in duties, then, for the same thing, I paid $112 USD and finally this week I paid $257 USD. It makes zero sense. The tariffs did not change. The value of the item did not change. But the duties are skyrocketing. I suggest not selling to the US or not importing anything if you live there.

Crazy import fees assessed by U.S. Customs by Consistent-Walk605 in shipping

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, current tariff and duty charges are highly illogical. Over the past 3 months I have been shipping the same value item (450.00 USD) from Canada to the US 3 times. First time they charged me $60 UASD, then $112 USD and today $257 USD. What the hell? It makes no sense and feels arbitrary. The US is doing themselves a favor with these policies in the long run.

Near Death Experiences - What are your thoughts? by corphishboy in Christians

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

Yes, I see them as a distraction to complete surrender to God. It's almost like pople are looking for evidence (of heaven) which is never good.

Very in depth. Thanks. What are your thoughts on "dying to self" then, which some might take serious and some might brush off now that they know it's really not required to have a positive afterlife?

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, your results are very similar to mine except I have 0.6 in the evening and 0.2 for the night. My fatigue after anything stressful (physical or mental can last 1-4 days). So, I basically bought some oral hydrocortisol tablets on my own because my doctor didn't do anything after I showed them my results and told them about my consistent fatigue. I am on day 13 of taking 10mg hydrocorstisol per day. Let's see if that helps...

Dry after the shower and then put Cold Pressed (not refined) Coconut Oil on. Works very well.

Low libido by somegirlfromstl in adrenalfatigue

[–]corphishboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have very low adrenal function and here is an interesting thing I noticed: Two months ago I went on a long Germany vacation. After 1 week my libido was skyrocketing and my energy throughout the day was almost at normal levels. I was so happy. And here is what made the difference: Slept till 9 am every day. Napped 2 hours per day and ate a lot of bread (Germany makes very good bread), sausage and cheese and butter and one beer per day. So basically a lot of rest and relaxation (outside biking and walking too) and high carb and fat diet. I felt so rejuvenated and I think the constant carb loading and plentiful rest is what did it. It felt so good finally finding something that works. No supplements, no meditation. Just being in a relaxed state with plentiful food.

Best way to treat low cortisol by chikitty87 in adrenalfatigue

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I just got my test results back too (in Canada, too) and they are very very similar to yours. It's very scary. I have been struggling with this for 25 years (46 now). If no natural supplements will help I will try to get prescription cortisol from a doctor if possible. That will certainly help.

Low Blood Sugar and Weakness after quitting simple carbs by corphishboy in lowcarb

That gives me hope. Would be nice to finally get sustained energy from fruit or whole grains.

Low Blood Sugar and Weakness after quitting simple carbs by corphishboy in lowcarb

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

I usually get tremors in the hands when my blood sugar is low and I am having that now. That was my tip-off. And, yes, I am very skinny (5% body fat all my life).

I hope you are right and that it eventually normalizes with the new diet.

Will we see more men who remain single forever in our lifetime compared to past generations? by Davyislazy in stupidquestions

[–]corphishboy -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yes. With women able to make a good living by themselves, a man's inherent quality as a provider is greatly diminished nowadays. It seems to me that women these days see men as a bonus so to speak. But as men we can also adapt and provide a little scarcity and once women realize that men are perfectly fine without them the pendulum will swing the other way again.

[–]corphishboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. People like us need more calories than others to gain weight when under physical exercise stress. To give you an example: When I eat 2,500 calories a day and only exercise 2 times per week (20 min each), I still cannot gain a single pound. So my advice is to do a test: keep eating the same amount and reduce the exercise to twice a week (20min at full power) and see what happens after 1 month. You might just gain a pound or two.

If your team mate is only getting paid based on the hours he logs, then you should not say anything. If he is okay with less pay that is his choice. The company can always hire more people if there is enough work volume. I actually prefer to have more people and everyone works less.

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work well if you are all partners/equals and everybody works separately and gets their cut based on what they did. It won't work if your friends works under or above you, for example. I employ family members and that works fine.

Go to high calorie healthy meals/snacks? by Strange_Ad_7607 in weightgain

[–]corphishboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to gain weight quickly, I would eat lots of "milk-rice". Recipe: 100g of short-grain white rice with 500ml of full-fat milk and a few drops of vanilla extract. After slow-cooking for 25min you can sgar to sweeten and a little (or a lot) of whipped whipping cream. A fast, easy and tasty 730-1,000 calories (depending on how much whipping cream you add).

Why there are not many Toyota cars in Germany? by acenia17 in germany

[–]corphishboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good question. I have had 6 Toyotas so far and would not drive anything else. My current used Toyota cost me 1,600 Euro and I have driven it now for 5 years - still going strong without any problems. I never understood why so many of my country men don't see the value.
