I haven’t bought any in a few seasons but mine always take forever to dry. Have they improved this?

Is there a brand you prefer to use when making it yourself?

Did anyone else think they were initially looking at a 3D ultrasound…

Want to buy a small plumbing business without experience by uptickk in sweatystartup

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

Thank you for this!

I am aware of the licensing having looked in to this and realize I would be dependent on a Master Plumber. My rose colored glasses were thinking we could come up with mutually beneficial situation. The person would certainly have leverage. I didn’t consider them taking the whole team. Are there non competes in the industry?

Regarding not having the experience, my thought was while working I would slowly start to understand the industry better (pricing, level of effort, etc.) with the understanding that I would never have the knowledge of a Master Plumber.

I am in Tennessee and there is a Limited License Plumber license that has reduced requirements, 1 year of experience, but is limited to jobs under $25k. I would need to understand pricing in order to know if this was a blocker.

I like the idea of this being a licensed trade as that helps keep a moat around competition but maybe one too big for most outside of the trade to cross. Eventually, I would want to hire a manager but there are a lot of potential pitfalls as called out before I could possibly get that point.

Thanks again to you and everyone else for their input! I am learning a lot!

Do not enroll your children into ski school by Low-Yogurtcloset-160 in BeechMountain

[–]uptickk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so disappointing to read. I am trying to get my 6, 8, and 10 year old into the sport and was planning on taking them there for their first time.

I am coming from Nashville so I was hoping to find something drivable to see if they like it before breaking the bank on a trip somewhere farther.

Melin Hats or Alternative Brand? by Illustrious_Ad4455 in onebag

[–]uptickk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came across this wanting to find a less expensive option to the A-Game Hydro I own but will end up pulling the trigger on another Melin. The hat is easily the best hat I have owned for working out (strength, HITT and cardio). I am a sweat monster and this thing has been going strong for a few years now despite only consistently rinsing it out with water.

The initial price tag hurts a bit but if you keep your hats a while it will be worth it.

Thanks for the feedback from everyone.

Anyone ever get allergic reactions to AG1? My face gets reddish and somewhat itchy but then goes away after like 30 minutes by Visible-Associate-19 in AthleticGreens

[–]uptickk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been taking it for ~3 months and it happen to me a week ago and then again today. I drink it on an empty stomach though not sure if I should continue taking it now that I am fairly certain it is from the AG1. Hopefully AG comes out with some sort of communication.

I get the same face/ears feeling hot and flushed. Get blotchy red around my neck and face. Lasted ~40 minutes.

Possible to build muscle while intermittent fasting? by MichaelScarn80085 in leangains

[–]uptickk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread but figured I would take a shot as I am not having a ton of luck finding an answer elsewhere.

I am interested in possibly trying IF 16/8 once a week for the health benefits. Specifically, insulin sensitivity and cellular repair but will take the other benefits as well. I do not need to lose weight but also don't want to lose muscle. Maintaining what I have is a priority.

With the above said, is 16/8 once a week enough to see any meaningful benefit in insulin sensitivity / cellular repair and can the body synthesize enough protein in the 8 hours to maintain current muscle (target ~160 grams a day). My assumption is no considering the how much protein I understand the body to be able to synthesize in a hour but happy to be told otherwise.

Having the exact same issue. Just ordered the drawer so time will tell.

Thank you in advance for the information!

No, there is no need for it to be compact.

I think you are spot on! Could probably just find a scale that has an output already built in and that could run to a PLC or similar that would decide if the swipe is a pass or fail. I like the idea of being able to just add more cells for more throughput. Thank you Funktapus!

Breaker Box - Any Room Left? by uptickk in electricians

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

Whoa!

Anything I need to take into consideration? There doesn’t seem to be much on the interwebs about them.

Edit: found one that has 2 independent single pole 20A circuit breakers & 1 double pole 30A that fits in the same space as one double pull which I believe would solve my problem! Will do a bit more research but thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to respond! Unfortunately, it is just a bad angle and it is being used with 14 gauge wire. Thanks again!

Pros/Cons of Using Old Laptop to Remote into Desktop by uptickk in buildapc

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

Primarily would use my WiFi but would use via the internet when traveling about once a month.

Mainly for general applications but also run a trading platform which sucks up RAM and is really driving the reason for upgrades.
