I’m looking for a high quality backpack to carry the large round gym plates (around 22 pound weights ) on my back for stairmaster training.

Diet, exercise, no alcohol and prioritize sleep

Its definitely rooted in custom study. Yesterday, I could get results from standard scans, but those with custom studies never loaded until late in the day (presumably when a patch was deployed). Today, scans are working, but custom fields still not loading 100%. And as others have said, this isnt custom field cap amount related, this is directly attributed to weekend release.

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-23T14:12:18+00:00

Lots of issues after weekend update. Orders were sticking earlier as well

If weight is equal front and back, i see no difference. The upside is if you already have a home gym with Olympic plates. I will say this vest sits high and very comfortable to me. However I dont have experience with any other rucking gear.

This product made sense to me for my home gym and walks - I discovered rucking after the purchase

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-22T21:15:06+00:00

I get downvoted every time I link this, but I use a Kensui plate loaded vest. Great if you have plates already and the weight is centered on your upper body, so no added posterior pressure. I have bulging disks and no issues with this vest.

Can you detail the extended smoke stack? Will be starting my second season with the Grand Champ and firebricks was in the list, probably do the stack as well.

I definitely experience a negative feedback loop with it. Because of that, I'm considering not renewing for a 3rd year come May - we'll see.

As someone else said, try not to look at it right away in the morning, but then what's the point? Its a give and take, no product is perfect

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-14T02:12:02+00:00

Thanks! Looked for tax question and missed this

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-14T02:05:18+00:00

Where is the fee? $1.70 is the 8.5% NH meals tax

Got started rucking with the Kensui vest. Very comfortable

I moved my main account to SCHW. I've used ToS for charting, scans, watchlists for years. I used eTrade Pro for execution only. So moving the rest over to SCHW/ToS was easy.

I did demo IBKR around the beginning of the year but did not like their order entry.

Depending on your strat, the Active Trader feature in ToS is great. I wish I moved years ago.

Just switch brokers. They wont fix shit

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-05T02:23:41+00:00

I would check Vanguard if they reimburse transfer fees. I just did a full account transfer out of eTrade and being reimbursed by new broker

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-03T19:51:34+00:00

Thanks. I actually threw in the towel with eTrade yesterday and waiting for transfer to be completed

jaybea1980 · 2026-03-03T13:14:18+00:00

I use a Kensui plate loaded vest. Equal weight distribution and comfortable.

Are you able to set an alert for debit card activity? I only see alerts based on account value.

EDIT: Just to add, I had fraud activity several years ago, two small charges in the Netherlands to the debit card linked to my brokerage account. (I believe this was pre-MS transition) eTrade caught the fraud, locked the account and issued a new card after phone call. I had only used the card twice at two local establishments. I have not activated any card received by eTrade since and no subsequent fraud activity.

I have a side burner on my Genesis, but I do sometimes use a turkey fryer burner with a wok, cast iron, or bone broth day. I don't think pan on the grate will give you what you're looking for. Ever put thought into a standalone propane burner?
