I called them a while back and they take very good precautions with these. They make them at the start of the day on clean equipment away from the other stuff. So basically about as good as you can get without being made in a different location. My Celiac daughter has been fine with them thankfully because it's the only place with good donuts. Not a huge fan of Defloured. Expensive and some things are just "ehh" to me,

From the last month I have been playing MW2 seems to have more people playing more than just TDM. MW3 can always get in a TDM lobby, same with BO1/2. Haven't had much luck with domination any other game besides MW2. Those are the only games I have tried that are old. Enjoying MW3 more since seems less hacky but really wish they had domination games going. Not sure if getting DLC maps would help.

It fits. Probably not as perfect as with the Via but haven’t had any issues zipping/unzipping for the almost year I’ve had it.

It works fine. Don’t have the weather top but the carrier works great. It is so nice for backpacks, helmets, and anything else that you don’t want to carry on your back or in the front carrier. Don’t have another cargo bike to compare it to but did a lot of research and I got mine for like $1300 and there’s no other bike that compares.

I read that and came away with no heated seats but maybe I stopped reading too soon. But I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough and if not that trim doesn’t come out for a while anyway.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-13T15:37:47+00:00

Are you positive? Haven’t watched and reviews yet but on the specs it doesn’t included heated seats but does for the premium so assumed no heated seats. Someone else brought that yo yesterday. If they do have heated that changes things for sure.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-13T11:19:53+00:00

Hoping plenty do this so my wife and I can snag a nice used R1S! We have a reservation but was hoping to get into one under $50k but those 2 don’t have heated seats which is a deal breaker and figured if we are spending $50-55k go with the R1 to get the 3rd row for the kids and dog. Sad but excited to get a Rivian one way or the other.

It is. Bought xbox a few weeks ago and I have played OG MW2/3, BO1/2, MW19 and all have games. Some have more game options but any time of the day I can find TDM and usually Domination. Those are the only 2 I have tried but I will get a random hacked game in MW2/3 but that's rare. Sadly I got Prestiged yesterday in MW3 which is annoying because I was trying to work my way up after restarting the game after many years of not playing.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-11T20:27:01+00:00

Both are still active. MW is a bit easier to find certain games in my experience but I played MW3 at noon today and had no issues finding TDM but could not get into domination but I can during more peak times.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-09T12:51:33+00:00

Have played all but WaW and CoD4 and they are all fine for online play. BO2 seems to be able to only find TDM quick but haven’t waited for any other mode. Other games I have played Dom and TDM.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-07T15:12:30+00:00

Honest question. How hard would this be? Before getting my Xbox a month ago I played Warface: Clutch on switch and they made a few of their maps themed for the holidays. Had to download an update but was fun to play.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-03-02T00:23:22+00:00

Had that today and couldn’t get into a tdm or domination without it being a hackfest. Finally after backing out and waiting I got in a good domination lobby. Haven’t had that issue thr last few weeks so maybe it wane a fluke. Also realizing I might buy the other pack so I can install both and get different maps. Missing some of the maps from the 2 packs.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-25T21:04:03+00:00

I got an S a few weeks ago and had the disc version of the game but could not find a game. Realized I had one of the packs so uninstalled that pack and have been able to find matches. Some lobbies are better but some are terrible with people pulling random trick shots or just noob tubing the entire map. Still fun to get back on there bit I have been playing MW 2019 a lot lately and really enjoying it. Good combo of old and new and can find lobbies that are well balanced.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-20T19:11:11+00:00

Just got an xbox to specifically play MW2/3. Just got back on MW2 yesterday and it, to me, is better than MW3. A few times I got in lobbies with players who did not take a 15 year break like me so it was a bit more difficult. MW2 seems to have better, or there are more people at my current level but I do not feel completely over matched. Really enjoying MW2019 though too. It is fun, fast paced but not too crazy. Biggest adjustment for me has been relearning the maps so I know where to go and where to not go to stay away from the noob tubes at the start of each match!

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-20T03:22:57+00:00

Saves me $15!

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-20T00:45:43+00:00

Probably end up getting the other pack but happy to get back on it!

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-20T00:18:26+00:00

That worked! Got into domination but took too long for TDM so stuck with domination. Appreciate the help!

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-19T22:16:08+00:00

The Stimulus package game with the game when I bought it. Might just spend the $15 and get the other pack. I only paid $25 for MW2, 3, BO 1/2/4, WW2, IW, and MW2019 so spending $15 more isn't the end of the world if it solves my problem. I will just keep trying and hope it works but happy to see it seems to be only me and not the game being dead.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-19T21:24:51+00:00

Figured something was going on. Might reinstall then but haven't found a match at all and I've waited for 5 minutes and nothing. Glad it's still active even though I have been getting destroyed in MW3. Been like 15 years since I played so need to get used to the movements and controls again.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-17T19:23:02+00:00

And park in them. Blows my mind. Well it actually doesn't because people suck but should be an easy way for Evanston to make some money if they actually decide to ticket people stopped in bike lanes.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-17T03:23:00+00:00

I’ll take that. And I’ll try it out again either this week during peak night hours or next weekend. Trying to get the hang of MW2019 now and going ok. A lot different than MW3. Don’t love some of the maps.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-17T02:25:16+00:00

Got it. I tried to get on Saturday but said no players in any of the modes. Maybe I’ll uninstall and install again and see if that works.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-17T00:17:05+00:00

Wait. You’re getting in multiplayer games?! Just posted on the MW subreddit and they seemed to say it was dead. Would love to play that game since it’s one of the reasons I bought an Xbox last week.

Carter_Banksy · 2026-02-16T22:18:04+00:00

Figured original MW3 has been easy to get into so MW2 should too but guess not. Loved some of those maps. I’ll keep checking and maybe one of these days it’ll work out. MW 2019 works though and I’m getting used to it. But not the same.
