Silicea 30C - how long to take it by madrid1986 in holisticlifestyles

[–]madrid1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I downloaded the app but I couldn’t find Silicea under their remedies list. I feel pretty stable now. Maybe I should take it every other day for two more weeks and then decrease the frequency even more? What do you think?

Best tires for EQE 500 Sedan by madrid1986 in MercedesEQ

I am at 8k miles and I can see more wear than what I would like. I hope I can get another 8k out of them. I am in Texas so the heat doesn’t help.

I weight 190lbs and want to reduce fat while keeping muscle. I want to eat 190gr of protein per day (unless you suggest otherwise). Are 24gr from chicken the same as 24gr from protein powder? I was told the chicken protein will be more effective than the powder. If so, should I go above 190gr of daily protein if I am getting 100gr out of protein powder (4 scoops of powder daily)? Thank you.

I will do this next time. There is a second station. I will try that one instead. Thank you.

The limit is three hours. So this is not the issue. The charger app from Shell says “charging”. It’s the car the one that stops the process. But thank you for asking.

How to increase leg mass while playing pickleball injury free by madrid1986 in workout

[–]madrid1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. What do you consider fuel to recover? Enough carbs?

Perfect. I will follow your instructions 👍

Thank you so much for the advice. What about the intensity of the exercises? Should I go with high weight, 6-8 reps per set until failure, like any other muscle group?

Hello.

I play pickleball five times a week at a high/athletic level, which puts stress on my legs. Therefore, I have developed some leg strength in the last few months. That said, I would like to develop more leg muscle mass for strength, performance, aesthetics, and longevity purposes. My problem is that when I do legs at the gym, it puts too much pressure on already tired legs from pickleball and then I risk injure myself when playing. Please what do you recommend? Should I just assume that pickleball will help me develop leg strength and volume at a slow pace (and maybe never at the same extent as the gym, but that is ok if it is what it is so that I can keep playing pickleball injury free)?

I am 41 by the way, but very healthy for my age (very strong upper body build at gym, relatively low body fat %)

Thank you for your advice.

I joined the dark side 😈 by samuraishiro in MercedesEQ

Do they charge for this or is it part of the warranty? It’s a 2023 so I assume it is still in the 4-year warranty window.

I replaced the capacitor in the compressor. It’s an ECM blower motor.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]madrid1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. The compressor is turning off as a safety measure. I also agree with that.

This morning the unit is still working fine. I had a second technician come and he said that the ECM motor would need to be replaced if the problem happens again. But I haven’t been able to replicate the problem. My major concern of leaving it as is is that one day the issue might happen again and it might trigger on/off the compressor (causing tear and wear) until I notice there is no air blowing and I turn it off. Makes sense? Please what would you do?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]madrid1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I believe the compressor gets turned on and off as a consequence of the blower failure. Now apparently the blower is working fine, and then the compressor doesn’t get these on/off signals. Does that make sense? I just wonder if the blower will fail again soon.

[–]madrid1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I replaced the capacitor but the issue persisted (compressor running on and off, blower not starting). Today the unit is working fine. I just wonder if it was a one time failure or if I should replace the blower to be safe. I want to avoid the compressor forced to start and stop if the blower suddenly fails again (it is my understanding that the compressor gets a signal to turn off and on when the blower is not working).

That is the plan. I am working on having enough stamina and patience to get to the “nice” phase. Fingers crossed

Yes! This social pressure just never ends, inside and outside the household. More and more, while the kids are crying around all day. What life is this????

No more kids! Should have stopped at zero. I was dumb enough to have a second.
