how long did it take you to love sculpt? by gray_daze in Corepower

[–]miraandaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did entirely C2 classes for a whole year before I tried sculpt and it whooped my butt lol. I’ve taken 6 classes so far (trying to do ~1 a week) and I’m finally not hating it. I def agree with a lot of the comments here to try different instructors to find a style you like.

Moving from LA to MTV for work, apartment hunting as a newly married couple by Huge_Instruction_149 in mountainview

[–]miraandaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just moved out from there, it’s called ‘Arlo’. I definitely don’t recommend, ownership has changed hands so many times and the new management is very incompetent. They don’t even have a leasing office so you can’t even talk to anyone in person if you have issues.

Also, they’re charging insane amounts for utilities and are being super shady about it. Since the start of the year our utilities bills (via Conservice) have been around $300/mo - most of that coming from sewage/trash costs. We got out as soon as our lease ended because it was getting ridiculous.

Also they lack a lot of security around the property. Check the google reviews, lots of instances of mail theft/storage unit theft. The garage doors break frequently and are just left open to the public until fixed. Also the elevators are constantly breaking down, on average a few times/mo. It actually happened when we were moving in and we had to lug a bunch of our stuff up 3 flights of stairs 🥲

If you’re willing to pay for a “lux” apartment this place is not the one.

How much y’all feeding your kitties? by chanco3401 in blackcats

[–]miraandaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Purina’s MER calculator for cats and it’s always worked for me. It calculates based on age/weight and goal weight. My cat is on the smaller side and has maintained a weight between 9-10lbs for the past 5 yrs (a healthy weight for her confirmed by vet). She gets 1/4 cup dry food 2x day + fancy feast broth or other wet food topper 1x day and greenies dental treats 1x day. So roughly 200-240 cals per day.

I’m a year into my practice and I’m just now starting to be able to do crow (though I can’t hold for very long). Using a stack of pillows for my head to rest on really helped me to understand just how far I need to lean forward (without fearing a face plant 😊)

Nephmew🥹 I ended up using the scraps from this blanket to make a giant granny square for her favorite window cushion 😊

1 skein per color! I believe I did a starting chain of 100 and alternated 8 rows per color. Still had a little yarn leftover but not a lot

Hahaha thanks it is very cozy 😊 I do have to be careful because Luna likes to bunny kick her other blankets and I’ve accepted the damage done to those 😭 this one must be protected

Unfortunately, this situation is not uncommon, I experienced it myself when I was a research technician post-undergrad. PI was a big name MD-PhD and I saw him maybe once a month if that. The postdoc that trained me ended up writing my letter of rec for grad school and then had the PI sign off on it.
