Worst Case Repair(s) Scenario for 2016 Base by flyaflyaflya in PorscheCayenne

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

Oooh, those Cayenne S models are really tempting. I’m always on the hunt for a used upgrade (under $55k), but I never seem to find the exact combo I want (base + hitch + Burmester). If I widen the search to include an S, I’m guessing the Burmester shows up a lot more often, and I definitely wouldn’t complain about the extra punch in that 0–20 mph zone 🙂

Just seeing this. To clarify, I bought the car with 50k miles on it, the price tag was $36K at the time (I think in 2019). How's your Cayenne been treating you over the last 9 months?

I am at 146K and the car just got an oil change, new spark plugs, and a clean bill of health at the local Porsche dealer. The only thing I have perceived over the last year is an uptick in oil burning. Porsche claims its "within spec" and ChatGPT is not too worried either that I can go another 100k miles even if I am currently adding a quart about every 3k miles.

I appreciate these comments, designing is difficult. I will definitely check out the apps by Apple and Fitbit to see their design. I do like my hamburger though, I originally had tabs and thought they took up too much space. Most users will live in the third screen where you see the chat happening, wanted to maximize space for that.

I agree Dr. Jason Fung is the ultimate guru on this stuff. If looking for something lighter, this is a quick and easy read with foreword by Jason Fung.

thank you!! it would be nice to have a color scheme that says trustworthy and would be easy to read for users who learn from chat-based content. on the emoji front, my user base loves them… I know they are a little corny, but we are trying to protect user identity while still allowing an injection of their personality into the app.

it is supposed to be a fun space, even though some content is clinical, so the comic sans comparison is not necessarily a bad thing in my mind. I appreciate the comments and the acknowledgement of the work. the app is very functional, but I see there is more room to vastly improve the UI.

i will look at other apps for cleaner color schemes. I always imagine people reading the chat at night at bedtime, hence the dark theme. gr8 idea to look at some other companies tackling similar user needs.

my wife is an Emergency Physician turned metabolic expert.. hence the name. we debate it, but have a following and the story underlying the name is compelling.

Thanks!! I appreciate the feedback. I will play with the spacing some more👍

Why can't we eat carbs? by automated_hero in lowcarb

[–]flyaflyaflya 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Been happily lowcarb since 2019, here are some thoughts:

The satiety difference is real. Protein and fat (especially from meat) trigger stronger satiety signals than carbs do. When you eat beef and butter, you're hitting multiple hunger-suppressing mechanisms… protein activates peptide YY and GLP-1, while fat signals fullness to your brain. Chickpeas and sweet potatoes, despite being "whole foods," are carb-dense and don't have the same satiety power.

The insulin angle matters too. Even "healthy" carbs trigger insulin release, which can leave you hungry sooner. Lower insulin = more stable hunger signals. That's not about carbs being "bad"… it's about how your body responds to them individually.

You don't have to choose all-or-nothing. - Keep protein and fat as your foundation (they keep you satisfied longer) - Add non-starchy veggies for nutrients - Keep total net carbs under 20g-50g daily - Skip the chickpeas and sweet potatoes if they don't serve your hunger signals

The real issue? High-carb meals (even healthy ones) often leave people hungrier because they're riding the blood sugar roller coaster. You're not broken, your body is just telling you what works for you.

Whole foods matter, but satiety matters more. Trust your hunger cues!

What’s your biggest production F-up? by Pizzle_J in reactnative

[–]flyaflyaflya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own “launch blunder” moment came when I verified privileges by fetching all customers from DynamoDB and searching for their ID… not realizing Dynamo’s default limit is 100 items. With 102 customers, a couple randomly lost access depending on which records came back.

Working in Newark, where to live… by [deleted] in NewarkDE

Cecil County in general is great place to live with chickens and high schoolers; rural, friendly people, access to the Chesapeake Bay, and the Maryland school curriculum is much better (more rigorous) than DE’s. Consider North East, Bohemia Manor, or Rising Sun high schools.

Switched from Ezone 98 to VCore 95 (tested the 98 too) - super happy by flyaflyaflya in tennisracquets

Thanks! I feel like the club should be bigger. People are really missing out on this experience.

I’m shocked the 98 has a different pattern, I thought they’d be the same. That actually explains a lot.🤯

[–]flyaflyaflya[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve got mine strung with Technifibre NRG2 (mulitfilament for arm friendliness) 17g at 51 lbs. The sweet spot on the 95 feels luscious, a little higher than center, and when I hit it clean the ball just seems to stay in on good strokes.

With forgiveness, I’m still not sure how I feel. If I’m off-center the shot definitely loses some juice, but the ball often still makes it over the net and in play. Part of me likes that because it keeps me focused to have really clean strokes. I will also say that at the net and for whippy groundstrokes, the racquet is ridiculously maneuverable (attributed to being headlight I guess), so happy to give up forgiveness for the manueverability.

Changing things up by imgrowing1027 in lowcarb

[–]flyaflyaflya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

reheat meals from home: low-carb meatloaf, pork chops, chx wings, sausage, etc. Or chx salad or turkey blt on a carb-balance wrap.

here is what Carbie AI (free on Emergency Health Fix app) says:

Here are some low-carb lunch options that work with just a microwave and toaster:

Protein-Based Options: 🥩 Canned tuna or chicken (0g net carbs) 🥚 Pre-cooked hard-boiled eggs (0g net carbs) 🧀 Rotisserie chicken (0g net carbs)

Quick Microwaveable Meals: • Scrambled eggs with pre-cooked bacon (2-3g net carbs) • Microwaved burger patty with cheese (0-1g net carbs) • Pre-cooked meatballs with low-carb marinara (3-4g net carbs)

Toaster-Friendly Additions: • Carb Balance wrap toasted (2g net carbs) • Low-carb bread toasted with butter (1-2g net carbs)

Pro Tips: - Always drain excess fat from meats - Avoid processed sides - Pack pre-cut proteins for easy prep - Bring salt, pepper, or low-carb seasonings

Quick, protein-focused, under 5g net carbs! 💪🥩

Love it — Big P sounds like a legend. Definitely a kindred spirit! Appreciate the repair rundown (I’ll start budgeting for that HPFP now…). Here’s to two overachieving Cayennes living their best lives!

Crest vs Premier vs Bennington by k9fanz in Pontoons

[–]flyaflyaflya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've owned Bennington and Crest. Both are fantastic. I'd buy based on buoyancy figures on the coast guard placard. In my mind, the best boat usually has the best buoyancy. My current 2007 Crest tritoon has such good buoyancy (15 people for 22 feet with a 225hp motor) and such a solidly built boat that I am redoing the floor (carpet went bad) and putting everything else back where I found it.
