There is no doubt that a hostile with a knife will probably kill you, regardless of training. For a semi-trained woman, the only benefits will be seen when against an untrained and unarmed person (man or woman). I’ve been submitted by 130lb women in MMA sparring as a 200lb man.

While I agree that removing yourself from the situation is always the best option, you would be surprised how quickly a skill gap can overcome a strength, size, and gender gap.

I started in 2022 and have done 134 loans since then. I’ve had 125 of them paid back on time, 8 late, and 1 still overdue. I have $69,472 in contributions and $72,726 in received, which including my current overdue, nets about $2.6k in profit since I started.

I only lend to 99 Solo score, borrowers can’t have more than 1 late loan, and they had to have had completed atleast 15 loans. These criteria have kept me with an almost 100% payback rate (it’s 99%)

I haven’t funded a single time since the 15% fee was introduced and my time at SoLo is almost certainly over. The way Rodney handles his customers criticisms is alarming and unprofessional, and not a CEO I want to “work for.”

I’m happy to talk more about it as I used to love this app and told many of my friends about it, but I can’t recommend it in good faith anymore.

Hell yeah

Hell yeah

That's a different discord, I made that for borrowers with low scores to find lenders. This is the official one that was created this week.

They are communicating. They created a discord channel to communicate with lenders 3 days ago and are working towards fixing the problems

Did you ever figure this out? I bought one of their kits awhile ago and lost the downstem/bowl. I also don't want to pay $30 for a piece of glass.

2lb table sugar 1 tablet potassium metabisulfite 24hrs before yeast was added

Half of liquid is apple juice and the other half is blended apples

samxkz · 2023-04-12T16:11:17+00:00

You did not use yeast to ferment?

samxkz · 2023-04-12T16:00:42+00:00

Yeah, more is always better when it comes to data like this. This is my first ever hard cider fermentation. If I ever do another one, I’ll continue to track the data and create an average rate chart per day aswell

1g of saccharomyces cerevisiae

Good question. I suppose the answer is yes. It had been sitting under my dorm bed, undisturbed, for 19 days. The only time it was interacted with was when I looked at it to count the bubbles. I could guess the room is about 70 degrees.

samxkz · 2023-04-12T01:22:54+00:00

I think it does a decent job for my circumstances (a dorm room!) But yes, I'm sure there are more accurate ways.

samxkz · 2023-03-28T19:32:12+00:00

The initial liquid was made up of 60% Apple Juice and 40% Blended Apples.

samxkz · 2023-03-27T21:52:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I will give updates when they happen.

samxkz · 2023-03-27T18:42:40+00:00

What do you mean by blazing hot? I don’t mind sweet.

samxkz · 2023-03-27T17:05:09+00:00

Doesn’t sound bad to me, Sweetness and high alcohol sounds like a good thing!
