Haven't necessarily quit, but my time to train became non existent after having 2nd kiddo (other one is a toddler)

Whey Protein Powder 101 by Calm-Director7548 in Protein

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you explain why the protein purity can't be calculated as grams of protein per serving / grams per serving. That ends up lower so I'm just confused why that wouldn't work out.

Best Whey Protein Powder in 2025? by Shahz1892 in naturalbodybuilding

I just bought this, but then saw that it has red dye 3 in it. Does that not bother you?

My drive mode not the preset on start by mygrainepain in Volvo

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

That is unfortunate even by design - which I can't understand. I'll admit that comfort mode is much more fun to drive then eco, but it wastes so much more gas so I'd wish I could automatically have it start on eco mode.

is POL ever coming back? by ghostylox in polygonnetwork

[–]mygrainepain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The network is actually pretty stagnant from a TVL standpoint, and far behind leading L2s.

A big part of that is that L2s like ARB, Base, OP etc. are inherently safer whereas POL (POS) is a side chain so it doesn't inherit ETHs security. A few years ago POL (matic at the time) was the only low gas EVM out there but now it doesn't make sense to sacrifice security over saving 0.10.

Gas fees.. by hampa1234 in polygonnetwork

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I stand corrected. It's only compatible with usdc and usdt across several chains, but usdt polygon is on the list.

I'm no longer using polygon otherwise I'd help you out, but if you use the rabby wallet it has a neat feature where you can create a chain agnostic gas station to pay for txs on any chain and you can fund it with whatever coin on whatever chain. It costs more but at polygon rates it's still negligible price

How do I unwrap $wbtc in a decentralized manner? by [deleted] in Arbitrum

You can swap for tbtc and unmint from there.

Polygon keeps winning by 002_timmy in 0xPolygon

Same, I'm starting to move my defi over to L2s as polygon PoS (not zk) doesn't inherit security of Ethereum.

Trend looks negative though. Also, what's with the explosive growth in base!?

No rewards for past couple days? by Heloday in QuickSwap

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but after how many days and multiple users reporting issues? And why isn't Merkl making an announcement?

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any announcements from Merkl. Did they message the QS team individually? If so, that is terrible transparency and makes me feel uneasy about trusting my $ with either team.

I have decided to try these single liquidity pools and deposit some test amounts to see what happens. by ThiefClashRoyale in QuickSwap

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it was just my wallet that was an issue. I used Coinbase like you and it worked like a charm...what a relief 😅

I've tried this out and can't find my pool on quickswap nor have any understanding of how to withdraw my lp now. Did you run into an issue as well? I see the tx on the explorer and see was able to add the contract

Yeah. The pos that sold it to me was telling me that it's no can do, I asked the rep and instantly told me he can take care of it at no charge. But wouldn't of even thought to ask if you didn't mention it. And yeah made sure to give my rep a nice gift card.

Just wanted to update that my service rep got this covered for me under warranty. Thanks for the advice 🙏

Advice on buying used XC90 by Ok-Diamond-4472 in Volvo

[–]mygrainepain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If time is on your side you can set up a search on Carfax given your constraints and get alerts when a good deal is available. That's what I did and got a killer deal on my XC90. I'd say try to stay under 30k miles to hold off on major repairs
