2024 Weight Loss/Exercise Thread
Orale replied to Storm the Field's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I reduced my sugar intake pretty dramatically a year ago after high glucose blood work, then quit alcohol in January. Went from 177 to 155 pounds this year. I've been doing a basic dumbbell workout along with pushups 3x a week along with running/walking/elliptical cardio 6 days a week. I have decent muscle tone, but I feel the gains have plateaued. Come January I want to revamp my workout to increase muscle gain. -

Traditional Mexican fare-San Antonio. NOT on river walk
Orale replied to txduck87's topic in Food and Travel
I feel like the last few times I've gone to La Fonda, the food quality was way below what it was when I was growing up. They used to have the fajitas, for example, come out nice and charred on the searing hot skillet. The most recent time I ordered it, it came out on a plate and the fajias looked so sad. I haven't been back since. -

Orale started following Commercial property sale commissions

What's a reasonable commission for the listing/buyer brokers for a commercial property sale in the $5 to $7 million range? I've seen 5% total commission suggested for deals up to $5 million then dropping a percent or so for the $5 to $10 million range. If the buyer doesn't use a broker, is it reasonable to limit the listing broker's commission in the listing agreement to what it would be with a buyer's broker involved (say 2 or 2.5%)? It's a 7,000 sf medical building on a half acre lot in a desirable location in central SA.

I came across a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant called Susanas in Southtown today. It had 5 stars with 40+ reviews so I gave it a shot. I had the enchiladas verdes and they were legit. The family that runs it were really friendly. It was $8.99 for the lunch plate.

I have the 40L Eagle Creek bag and it's definitely high quality and durable. The only downside to it is that it's a bit too large to fit under a seat as a "personal item" which is becoming more of a thing as airlines more frequently charge for the overhead carry-on. I flew United domestically a few weeks ago and the gate staff were enforcing the small-personal-item-only rule and charging those of us poors in the super economy section for larger bags. I'd say 35L is the sweet spot for avoiding that.

I got the flu shot and pfizer booster yesterday around 8 a.m..and then passed out around 8 p.m. A little arm soreness, but otherwise I feel back to normal. -
Wireless Office Network - Omada, Ubiquiti, etc...?
Orale replied to Orale's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
I appreciate the advice. The fastest I've gotten to a gig on speed tests is 600ish mb. Is there a particular modem you'd suggest? -
Wireless Office Network - Omada, Ubiquiti, etc...?
Orale replied to Orale's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
That's nearly exactly the setup I'm looking at. There's an outdoor patio area so I'm planning to have an exterior AP as well. I checked with Google Fiber and unfortunately they're not in my part of downtown (San Antone) just yet. I'll be looking at other providers as well, but I may be stuck with Spectrum. -
Wireless Office Network - Omada, Ubiquiti, etc...?
Orale replied to Orale's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
It's for a cowork space, so the data type will probably mostly be piddly. But it will probably be a mix of types depending on users on any given day. I'm going to look into other internet providers. Spectrum is already in the building and bringing in a new provider may be costly, but also maybe worth the expense. -
I'm creating a wireless network for an office space that will serve up to 50 users at a time. I'm researching TP Link's Omada, Ubquiti's Unifi, and a few others. The space is about 4,000 sf and is an open floor plan without interior walls or large obstructions. The internet provider is Spectrum and I currently have a gig plan. After I set up a wireless network, I'll test the speed and consider enterprise offerings if the gig service is lacking. I need reliability, speed, security, and simplicity of use. I may end up hiring an IT/networking company to set this up, but I'd first like to get objective opinions about the options. Opinions on forums like Reddit are all over the place. One person swears by a system and then another says it's the worst system ever. I appreciate any insights.

I start chemotherapy monday and I don't have cancer
Orale replied to WelfareBuysMyWeed's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
The economics may not pencil, but it might be worth checking if you could get the biologic shot in Mexico and make the border drive or take a cheap Monterrey/CDMX flight to get it every two weeks (assuming you're in TX). Perhaps that would result in less downtime for the care you provide your folks than the after-effects of chemo. Just a thought. In any case, best of luck and I'm truly sorry you're having to deal with this. Fuck that disease.
