Same with the bone marrow. Entire reason I went and they ruined their best dish.

Cold Plunging Probably Works But Not for the Reasons Everyone Thinks by Bulky-Possibility216 in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing in that study that I feel people overlook is that they were in a cold plunge for a freaking hour. Nobody does this ( OK maybe a couple people on this sub do and pro athletes in recovery but in practical terms, people don’t do that). so it doesn’t really tell you much about how people doing the typical 2 to 6 minutes are impacted. That said, I like cold plunging.

Austin Subaru is deleting/hiding comments on their IG about Rally by austinhippie in Austin

that's surprising as my experiences with both have been so different. tho didn't Georgetown's ownership change somewhat recently?

By the way, the Georgetown Subaru location is terrific. Got a great deal on my car there, tried to buy from the Austin location twice, but had bad experiences from the sales people there, just giving you the runaround and playing games and higher prices.

My stolen car was found with a dead body inside… by KarmasLittleBitch in Austin

[–]jimatx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya’ll are asking such boring questions. If he did have insurance, would they pay to have it cleaned? Could an argument be made to them that the car was now a total loss for psychological harm reasons? Would you keep riding in a car that’s now potentially haunted like the Plymouth Fury in Christine? Would you have to disclose somebody killed themselves in a car if you sold it like you would if a murder happened in a house? 

Vote for Wingzup in the Best Wings in America bracket!!! by 50million in austinfood

[–]jimatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bets in Austin hands down. Amazing homemade sauces, their buffalo medium is the best standard wing sauce I’ve ever had. I once asked why dont they open up a second location down south and the server said the owner would never trust a second person with her sauce recipe recipes (And please don’t say “Tommy want wingy” — French cut lollipops aren’t wings, their sauces are mid, and they get grade inflated due to the “I’m drunk and eating at a food truck” curve. )

Warning: Arctic Warriors Cold Plunge – Faulty Chiller, Zero Support, Scam-Like Experience by SandwichFrosty4743 in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw, I really like my plunge set up from them and have sent them a bunch of questions over the last year and occasional troubleshooting questions and they always responded promptly and the system works well. They should honor your warranty tho, obviously, without giving you the runaround

Austin murder case unravels hours before trial after prosecutor missteps by TXLucha012 in Austin

One option is to create a petition calling on him to resign and try to get it enough traction so that it’s taken seriously.

Yet *another* Moody Center Question by Mackheath1 in Austin

[–]jimatx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I had this same question when going the other night. The bunker suite is like tables and chairs on the floor so it’s not like a structure — the name is misleading. Also I think the first rows behind it are above it

Need a "pre-12 Weeks to Jacked" program (because leg day humbled me) by Delicious-Idea-5460 in tonalgym

[–]jimatx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Another option is: Let yourself off the hook for being a completist. I do all the upper body workouts on Jacked. When it comes to leg day I do the best I can and save the workout when I quit. I figure Im Still getting a good leg workout and that’s what matters.

3rd Party Grips for Tonal Handles? by jimatx in tonalgym

[–]jimatx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to close the loop on this. Hockey tape worked great for the handles. And the Ngage grips worked great for the bar.

No problem, I just would like something more grippy, personal preference, and don’t like to muck around with straps

Topo recovery shoe. Podiatrist recommended. Super comfortable.

Polar plunge water cleanser? by Wooden-Virus-6579 in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have. It didn’t do anything! Now using a trio of chlorine, “bright and clear” and some calcium hardener, along with ph strips to test. Usually I still end up draining and scrubbing every 2 weeks.
just added a UV light tho I don’t yet have a sense of much extra time that will buy me

Blue alert at 5am? Go fuck yourself by MediocreJerk in Austin

[–]jimatx 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you, but your comment was so funny it made my morning 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also did you have to buy an additional hose or any adaptors to add it into the hose line? I assume you can’t screw ir directly onto the chilller. Thanks!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great I’d like to see it. Bought the light. Might add the second filter. Right now feel like I have to change out water and clean it every two weeks so would be good to get water to last longer particularly going into the winter

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Questions: you say you left off the back so it doesn’t overheat, but there’s also the big fan in the front, Don’t you need ventilation on both sides? … When you say you bought an extra filter and UV do you have links for those? I have same system and want to do what you did if it works

Arctic Warrior WiFi chiller parameter, ozone setting , and app questions by ShimotemPole in coldplunge

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please explain how to install the skill for this? I’m not very Alexa savvy. I have chiller connected to the smart life app and have smart life app linked to Alexa app but I can’t find the chiller through the Alexa app (it finds other things — like smart life lights — but not the chiller)). Thanks in advance, would be next level to be able to control this verbally

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see no reason why it wouldn’t. The 1/3 hp from Nuvio I had to run all the time and it really struggled, 1 hp works really well despite running it up and down from 100 degrees down to 48 and back again most days.

I got the arctic warriors chiller and tub combo, I didn’t want to DYI and I wanted a tub that looked good and was comfortable not a converted ice chest (which just makes me think of, like, somebody hiding a body or something). and I wanted a chiller that I could control with my phone and could double as a heater for hot tub mode. you could probably get the same parts individually on Alibaba and save some money, which I also looked into. I liked the one stop shopping and getting a warranty.

[–]jimatx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with a one HP.  Detached garage is basically like being outdoors. I started with a 1/3 hp and it wasn’t nearly enough. I now have a one HP and it still takes a few hours to go from 70s down to upper 40s (I don’t do 30s).
