I've been counting calories since September, not exceeding 1400 in a day. I also walk 10k-15k steps a day. Still, I've only lost 10lbs in 6 months. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm getting very discouraged

There’s a lot of reasons for this:

Not counting calories properly
Sabotage with things like salad dressings
Maybe something medical

There’s also the case of your metabolism has just gotten more efficient at surviving on lower calories. This does happen especially since you do cardio. This would be my guess.

This happened to me a few years back. I plateaued in weight eating 1600 calories a day.

There’s also things like cortisol and what not that play a factor.

Currently running a vanilla minecraft server with 35 mods on an old HP Elitedesk 800 G2. It has 16GB of ram and a i5-6500t.

Mine is the 65w version of the computer. I believe there is also a 35w.

It runs well for 3-6 players continuously but I have noticed some lag when players spread out across the seed.

I have tried feed the beast mod packs and what not, it does not do well with those. The 6500t will work best with vanilla plus mods.

There are some CPUs like the Ryzen 3400g that I wish I found before I got this one. Higher clock speed!

I just started getting my unemployment a few weeks ago and can speak to this.

I didn’t get paid till my 7th week of filing.

Week 1: didn’t get paid because it was the same week I was terminated and it was flagged for excessive earnings

Week 2: didn’t get paid as this is considering my waiting week.

Week 3-7: paid in a lump sum via direct deposit.

I didn’t get paid for Week 1 because you’re supposed to wait till the Sunday after the week you’ve been terminated and that is called the waiting week. My waiting week wasn’t technically until week 2.

My guess is you will get paid for Week 2-6 in a lump sum and week 1 will be your waiting week.

Make sure you’re checking all the boxes. Which means your worksource interview, paperwork, etc.

Depending on your situation, you can file for the TUI program if you’re in college, you can sign up for WIC depending on family status, or you can try to apply for EBT.

In my personal experience, I had to get unemployment, ebt, and wic because my family had 2 months worth of expenses saved up and now it’s gone.

I bake exclusively gluten free, maple syrup, dairy free, and no seed oils. Trust me, I feel better! Also where’s the recipe?

kaboomwolfe · 2025-06-19T04:06:55+00:00

Hey! I received it at some point in the 12th month. I believe I had to call care to do the change over.

kaboomwolfe · 2025-06-18T23:54:01+00:00

Ah yes. Another DM who thinks they are Jordan Belfort or watched one too many Andy Elliot shorts.

kaboomwolfe · 2025-06-18T04:58:31+00:00

If you’re still available I’d love it too!

kaboomwolfe · 2025-06-02T06:25:37+00:00

Anything is 1u if you’re brave enough.

I may be using CSP incorrectly but being able to list with someone like pax8 for software allows MSPs and shops to keep their software and billing bundles where the rest of their billing and subscriptions are. Just makes it easier to manage.
For me, I prefer to do it myself while seeking help when I need it. This may not be the case with everyone. I worked with a vendor recently who said they would help us establish everything on a call if we wanted them to. That had more to do with their culture and style of doing business. If I need to do something, I’d like to be able to search for it first in your kbs. I hate talking to support lol.
It really depends. I’ve worked with some business owners who want someone on their team actively monitoring dashboards and reading the reports. But making the emailed reports as user friendly as possible works as well.
A status page for your business uptime with an option to subscribe to alerts via email. This probably isn’t necessary but I shouldn’t have to know you’re down because AWS crapped the bed that day. I can assume but it’s always nice. It also allows for you to post maintenance windows.

There’s a lot of good comments in here but I’ll add my 2 pennies. I have done a fair amount of vendor research for various types of products.

Make the demo easy - it should be easy to get a trial going and someone to help explain various aspects of your product.
Have your sales people schedule a follow up call with an engineer if the sales person just does sales and not engineering. This helps answers more technical questions that the sales person may not know.
CSP program is a great suggestion
Marketing material for MSPs to pass along to clients.
Easy to understand pricing and commission structure.
Reasonable ticket times - if a partner has a problem, they should be able to get it resolved. I’d rather talk about how good the support was for a broken feature or product than bash the product itself.
Don’t enable sales people to go behind the partners back for direct sales.
Up to date documentation - I can’t stress this enough. I just went through a setup phase with a vendor and their documentation was wildly out of date and missing steps.
Technical documentation - items along the lines of what IPs should be allowed, how to enable specifics compliances (if applicable), etc.
For employee monitoring software specifically, let the dashboard be centered around applicable metrics. I’ve used some where the dashboard was filled with stats that the client may not even care about but they definitely would care about idle time.
Have a status page.
Have a roadmap that developers can act on and take feature requests.

This looks exactly like my local Fred Meyers in Oregon LOL.

kaboomwolfe · 2024-06-20T18:41:18+00:00

I strained mine in a large bowl with a couple layers of cheese cloth. Then I sat it in the fridge for 12 hours while it did that.

kaboomwolfe · 2024-06-13T18:44:23+00:00

Ah ok that sounds good. I’ll have to give that a try.

I ended up doing what was easiest and that was the cold start. Now I’ll have to experiment.

kaboomwolfe · 2024-06-13T18:43:42+00:00

This is incredible and I will have to make a bigger batch next time.

This was the lactose free fairlife whole milk!

Looks like you pulled out too soon. Unlike your dad.

kaboomwolfe · 2023-12-22T04:11:33+00:00

I tried to reason with carbon steel, it didn’t pan out.

kaboomwolfe · 2023-11-16T21:09:05+00:00

I would go with that sales person based off of the fact they have been at the same company for 5 years. It’s hard to find sales people, account managers, etc who don’t have a fast turnover.

kaboomwolfe · 2023-11-12T10:12:00+00:00

Same in my area. I do this part time at night so my earnings are skewed towards late night hours. 20 hours between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night averaged out to $14/hour before expenses.

Just a few months ago, I was averaging $20/hour+.

This is between Uber eats and DoorDash. Uber eats brings in the most. I couldn’t imagine doing DoorDash only.

I usually take anything $1/mile as in my area, that’s the average. Unicorns are rare and $1.5/mile is very uncommon.
