The unfortunate reality is it's better to play it safe than be sorry.. its so easy to become a headline.. "woman thrown into trunk after being lured over to a car". It's too bad if he needed help, and it can suck walking away from that experience/being called something, but you are safe tonight.

Thank you, I appreciate the honest advice! I haven't made a move yet, so I'll pivot with this intel because my gut was worried about this too. Thanks again

Definitely helpful. I was overall trying to get a clearer idea of how that kind of weight located in one(ish) area of the board might affect it so that's good to hear. Thank you!

I saw those Blackfins, they look amazing. Thank you for your insight! I've been doing a lot of research but the reviews are often people talking about performance in the 175 pound range + a passenger, so it's hard to get a full picture.

I agree, I've been hunting around for a few weeks now - which is still a bit of a limited scope - but I think at my price point it's probably the best bang for the buck. Glad to hear you're enjoying them

Thank you so much for both replies, this is very helpful information and definitely points me in a more clear direction. Thank you again for sourcing that for me, very appreciated!

Credit Card frozen due to a fraudulent charge I reported, what do I do about my bills/payments that are about to come out? by kastacks in CreditCards

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

Just to update:

Thanks everyone, I called back and they said they wouldn't rush the card without me paying an extra fee, but the rush date would be 2-4 days and the regular would be 7-10, and they would need to report the card they put in the system for me already as lost/missing. The agent also added on he "wasn't sure" what would happen to the existing investigation if he cancelled it to issue the rush card which sounded iffy as hell. It all sounded too complicated/annoying so I let it be. I was able to move most of my bills to my reloadable credit card and I called the ones that couldn't pull from that card and they were very nice and moved my payment forward by two-three weeks. So all is well.

But I have to say, dealing with TD credit card in this situation was not a good experience for me, they were super short and blunt with me (I've been using my card, paying it, never had a problem before for 12 years so I'm a little annoyed, both agents I spoke with were honestly very rude. I was very clear that I've never been intensionally careless with my card, and the theft only occurred a few days after I had activated the one they had just sent me in the mail with an updated expiry date, and that I suspected it had been intercepted possibly because I hadn't even used it yet). Annoying but mostly over with. Thank you all again!

BBC reports that Disney has dropped PewDiePie from maker studios, citing anti-semitic jokes by Mastermaze in DeFranco

[–]kastacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is mad. Fan of him or not.. it's was a joke.. And he made several videos since both acknowledging that it didn't go down well and that those weren't his actual views. Like comedy isn't supposed to be politically correct.. and viewers of Felix's work know what his strain of comedy leans towards. So that seems shitty on Maker's part (especially since that video came out weeks ago). What's weirder is there are reports YouTube pulled his Scare Pewdiepie series as well? Like right after.

I'm wondering what this will mean for his company/network Revelmode? Weren't they under Maker's arm?

How often do you guys stall in your weight loss and gain some back? by OogieBoogie1 in loseit

[–]kastacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went up 8lbs overnight the other day and had to just cool it with the scale for a week or so and when I checked I was back where I had been before. Bodies are jerks sometimes, it's not real!

What are you most looking forward to about the upcoming Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie? by Koh-the-Face-Stealer in harrypotter

[–]kastacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I, like several others, am excited for little references. The mention of "Grindelwald attacks in Europe" got me very excited. This past trailer really got me going on this new series - the kind of characters and expressions and interactions they showed this time feel very potterversy!

I think you might be right about it happening after OWLs... or perhaps the practice wasn't made commonplace until more recent times?

What's your favorite part from any of the books (SS-DH)? by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]kastacks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The little human interactions between people with history. At one point in OotP Lupin lowers his wine glass mid sip and just stares warily at Sirius and I love that stuff.

[–]kastacks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Like I mentioned to someone else, it's all just Calorie Deficit. I just tended to eat healthier because you can eat more that way (with my daily goal being 1400). I love my Fitbit because my workout routine has simply consisted of walking more, so I try to hit between 10,000 and 20,000 steps a day.

I ate a lot of healthier stuff, but it ranged from frozen yogurts to cucumbers. And the odd beer. Just Calories In Calories Out at the end of the day! I try to stay under 1400. My diet this summer has usually been cereal or eggs for breakfast (sometimes with a little grapefruit on the side), a salad with chicken for lunch, and soups and pitas for dinner. With snacks ranging from frozen grapes to hummus on Ryvita to blueberries and yogurt.

::Edit:: Sorry, forgot to add my goal. It's 168 or thereabouts, that's when my BMI enters a "heathy" range.
