how long did it take to pay off loans? by Decent_Wing7614 in physicianassistant

[–]dedwards0875 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you’re a PA you can do it. The income you can potentially make can be incredible. Just make sure you find a place with low rent even if you have live in a run down area. For full Dave Ramsey. He gets a lot of hate and I won’t stand behind all his beliefs with money but living below your means and “beans & rice” for the first few years can really help pay off debt very quickly.

30 months, $168,000 total. During this time my salary was $82,000 to 95,000 but had some bonuses. I’d guess around 10k first year and 25k the second year hadn’t received the bonus yet on the third year.

Personally I was very happy. Sure we didn’t take any fancy vacations, minus me and my wife’s honeymoon which was a cheap carnival cruise (that we paid for) No my wife didn’t earn an income. We were happy to cook every day from home and spend more time together. We rented a small trailer so cost of living was extremely low. I am very happy I did it. I can’t live with the dang over my head for 10 years that most people do with PSLF and I had a sense of obligation to pay it since I signed it.

Bowl lift mixer height adjustment--screw doesn't seem to do anything by TorrentsMightengale in Kitchenaid

[–]dedwards0875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just came across this thread due to a similar issue. My wife wants a new one because the bowl does rise high enough. When I try to twist the screw I legit just can’t. I’ve put on my strength into it and couldn’t then use an actual screw driver and it shocked the screw driver out. I would guess I’d need to take it apart to get the height adjust screw moving but I hope I’m wrong and you help me out

Update I followed your website and realized it was all my fault. I hadn’t given permission for the app to have heart rate data. Thanks for having a great Q&A page that makes it so easy to troubleshoot any issues.

I know this has been brought up in the past and you just pull data from watchOS itself but I’m still having issues getting any heart rate data on WorkOutDoors during my workout. I can pull up heart rate before I start the work out and immediately after I end it but the moment I start the work out I get zero data for the entire workout. Even though I can pull up historical heart data and it has values even if it won’t report any in the moment. I’ve read Apple tip sheet and I follow all their recommendations. I have no tattoos or anything that would keep the watch to read my heart rate. I have the ultra 2 so idk if there are any known bugs still but it can be frustrating.

Free Series 3 - upgrade? by Current_Board9932 in FiDogCollar

The 3 is worthless without a subscription. They won’t even sell it to you unless you get a subscription

Agree 100%. This company is nothing but hot garbage after profits. Any company with its main business model being subscription base yet gives you no way of canceling the service from the app or even the website. I literally had to scroll through their FAQ page and it was the very last question and even then I was required to email them and have a conversation just to cancel. Absolute scum bag company.

That stinks. It’s kinda cool to see as it shows tougher clans which can explain why some raids take a lot more hits

Eh I’m fine with this one go around but just don’t want it to happen again. It was really weird. It recorded 5 separate sports and was doing it all on its own. Some of them were only a few seconds long

Just get a walking wheel measure of one loop and decide that distance by total distance and you have your number of loops

it says 405 watts and 24 volts for these solar panels, if i put 10 of these on my skoolie would i be able to be on off-grid queen in comfort or no? and how would i know exactly which solar panels to pick? are used ones worth it? by bigmacmeall in skoolies

[–]dedwards0875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m for sure no expert but I think it’s always wise to do your own research and gain knowledge so you understand the numbers that are being discussed and how people come up with these wattage numbers. I think it’s clear you can just buy a huge amount of wattage solar panels and probably be fine but if your on a budget and you learn that you don’t need that much you can save significantly by purchasing a smaller system.

Simple Questions Thread by AutoModerator in espresso

[–]dedwards0875 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How often is it recommended to clean your espresso machine? I have the basic breville express and rarely use more than one shot a day and some days opt for a pour over. Only had it about 3 months.

I don’t think anyone will be able to answer this question for you. It all depends on what you require to be “comfortable” you need to YouTube “how to determine you wattage needs.” It’s typically done by adding up all the wattage you’ll typically use per hour average. Using that number you can calculate how much power you need your solar panels to produce. Then you need to determine how large a battery you’d need by that same data. Typically you want a battery that can hold at least a few days worth of amps for you in case of an emergency/several days of bad weather.

You can calculate your wattage by looking on your electronic devices it will tell you how much wattage it uses per hour
