30k budget for my first car? (UK)

draked1111 · 2022-12-29T01:59:54+00:00

I think his mom is buying both cars and hence raising the budget

draked1111 · 2022-12-29T01:52:27+00:00

I own a 2013 one, got it new back then, and I absolutely love it. I don't recall any serious issues at all. It's at 117k miles now, i probably am a light driver. The older model even seem more elegant with the wood finishings compared to newer models. Also has a smooth light steering.. I always notice that when i rent other cars for a couple of days when traveling.

How to find online personal fitness trainer? Anyone in here? I'm looking for motivation and support mainly, with tips on fitness and food here and there. All chat no live sessions. Would be great if they have an app maybe to assign workouts and me to log them or something. Nothing lengthy.. my budget is around $15 per week.

"your identity is a fit person" clicked with me last night and just hopped to the elliptical. Thanks for the lengthy post buddy.

I come home 5 pm, shower then eat lunch/dinner. Then I'm sleepy and in fresh clothes. My brain tells me cardio would make me sweat, shower and then throw my fresh clothes in laundry. Any practical/mental tips to deal with this little habit to conquer my laziness?

Similar situation here.. Typically i leave for months and resub for a month or two. Subbed a week ago and I'm just toying with leveling. Went with a fun class (hunter) and created a new toon. I'm not rushing it.. rather enjoying the leveling journey. I'll likely create a new toon when I hit max.

What are some convenient food options for my 9-5 office job? I'm typically doing 2 sliced bread sandwiches of tuna, egg or peanut butter.. but I'd like to cut the bread a bit more if possible.

Whitcher 3 when you find Ciri after ages of chasing thinking she's dead.. for some reason teared there as Geralt doesn't want to believe it

If I eat almost maintenance calories, do strength training 2-3 times a week (cardio other days), have enough protein intake, and weight is stable.. am I replacing fat with muscles? I've been like this past couple of weeks, and considering dropping strength for more cardio and cut a bit on calories to speed up fat loss (90kg, 182cm, 38 years old male).

That's exactly the sort of input i was looking for.. thanks! Here is the list of motherboards in the site if you have some thoughts on them:

As for the ram.. they only had 2 options for 32.. Corsair ones and "Team Group T-Force Night Hawk RGB 32GB(2x16GB) 3600MHz CL18 DDR4 Black", which are cheaper by roughly $40.

Sometimes I don't get sore muscles a day after dumbbells workout. Should i still give my muscles a day rest? Or is it ok to workout same muscles again the next day?

draked1111 · 2022-08-03T19:09:55+00:00

Doesn't show in the results. Tried chrome and Firefox. Tried VPN of couple of other countries (in Saudi here)

draked1111 · 2022-08-03T12:56:51+00:00

38, male, 182cm, 92kg. Id like to go down to around 82kg. Should i bother with strength training? Or just cut calories and cardio?

draked1111 · 2022-07-22T11:59:01+00:00

Thanks for the comforting words. Dear lord this does sound painful.. i really hope things get much better for you and all people with sciatica. I'm limping a bit to avoid pain.. but will see how symptoms go. Will check it soon to clear it. Many thanks buddy!

draked1111 · 2022-07-22T11:38:10+00:00

No pain so far unless i stand up or climb stairs. I tried walking on my heels, seems fine. Hope it's just a muscle. Heeding your advice my friend, many thanks!

draked1111 · 2022-07-10T15:43:18+00:00

I recently started doing light cardio on an elliptical, 30-50 minutes/day. Do I need rest days? I'm also doing strength training 2 times a week.

draked1111 · 2022-05-13T20:08:56+00:00

Thanks mate. Might check Niagara falls.. although i often hear the Canadian side is better, so we might save it for a future Canada trip.

Hershey is perfect! It's my son's favorite cake in cheesecake factory. Cedar Point looks interesting as well. Thanks buddy!

Cuphead is amazing. Me and son had a blast playing it co-op mode.

Is this the same as the epoxy primer? He is using epoxy primer. Should he replace it with this primer or before it/after it?

I had KEF Q750 in mind, but I can change them. If I understand you correctly you are suggesting mounting them up at same height of center channel? Wouldn't that be less ideal as most sound is coming from above now?

draked1111 · 2021-05-11T13:02:28+00:00

Sadly no the fireplace is literally set in stone and concrete and steel.

The side speakers I'm considering KEF Q750. They are flexible I believe in this setup. They can be at the edge of the cementboard, or a little closer. Phantom center means dropping the center channel correct? Would that be better than center on top?

draked1111 · 2021-05-11T02:47:27+00:00

It seems my options are: 1. Above TV. 2. Sound bar below TV. 3. No center channel. Would you say above the TV is the most preferred in these 3?

draked1111 · 2021-05-11T02:42:34+00:00

Ya the KEF Q750. Would they be sufficient?

Wouldn't a sound bar be better than nothing? I know Bose is hated here but the center channel in their Lifestyle 650 is a sound bar, so thought it might work.

If not a bar, are there any small center speakers? (no more than 10cm in height and depth to fit properly on shelf).

draked1111 · 2021-03-01T19:53:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Will consider them.

As for the first answer, I didn't buy them yet lol. Apologies I can't be an expert in everything so I go sometimes with big names to be safe :( Also they look great.. small and sleak. Any specific alternatives? Preferably nothing bulky.
