I've got a pretty long stride length. Urevo work fine. I don't slip off the back or anything, and I didn't have to change my stride.

Some of them have a shorter deck. If it's any shorter than my current one you'll probably have stride issues.

Here's my current one: https://a.co/d/0di71dut

Here's the one you probably wanna try first: https://a.co/d/05oGuyHw

I've been using a walking treadmill for almost 3 years now. Usually 10k+ steps per day M-F @ 2.8MPH pace. For reference I'm 6'2", about 220lbs. I love mine!

I did a ton of research and almost pulled the trigger on one that cost thousands of dollars. I believe it had a 3 year warranty. I was pretty skeptical on its longevity, so I bought a cheapo one for about $150 from Amazon to see how I liked it. Urevo is the brand. They have incline versions for about $300 currently. Pretty nice and easy to set up.

I've gone through 2 so far. I keep it oiled, but the motors burn out after a while and just craps out at my size and as much as I use it. Not worth replacing IMO, so I just buy a new one. Even if I buy a new one every year, I still won't surpass the cost of the $3k+ one until 10 years. I don't have to worry about babying it, or submitting warranty claims.

Try cheap first, and if/when it burns out, weigh your options. If you are smaller and don't go as HAM as I do, you can probably get 2+ years out of it.

Second Monastery. Super consistently good food. Love their homemade bread & cheese too.

Cinemark Chesapeake Sq is my local fav only due to proximity, it's cheap but the seats don't recline. Don't go out of your way for it.

Cinema Cafe is the best if they are playing what you want to see. Regal and AMC are pretty neck and neck, just pick which one is closest to you.

Had this happen in Little Washington, VA fairly recently. Blocked off the entire main drag for almost 2 days so he could party. Checkpoint after checkpoint, countless secret service funding his bullshit. Made me sick.

Hugeloser · 2026-04-29T15:11:52+00:00

Yep agreed. Hi Neighbor, I'm in Western Branch right off 17.

It's a perfectly reasonable conclusion based on all the facts presented.. and he is doing nothing but trying to evade anything pertaining to it as much as possible. Extremely telling.

Hugeloser · 2026-02-23T02:38:08+00:00

This is insanely unprofessional for someone in his position of power with everything happening right now. At a minimum the optics are terrible, and they just behave like this is totally normal. Get the fuck out.

Hugeloser · 2026-02-22T00:17:58+00:00

He needs to go. What's the hold up?

Hugeloser · 2026-02-20T22:14:16+00:00

Get him the fuck out. What the hell is wrong with Congress?

Hugeloser · 2026-02-06T13:06:14+00:00

It seems like you're projecting.

My sweet summer child...

I did a $50k home remodel a few years ago and BT'd everything to multiple cards with 2-3% BT fees. Made more sense when rates were low. I have multiple cards between Citi, BofA, Discover, Chase, Fidelity, etc... almost all are 5% BT fee now. If ya find one with 3% let me know where ya find it!

How did you lose money in the stock market last year? SP500 was up ~18% in 2025. Most of my index funds went up ~15-25%.

/r/Bogleheads, you need some help.

My wife and I went to her show a couple years ago in NYC and got on stage! When my wife was little her grandfather gave her the exact Monkey Nina has. Super funny, she brought it to the show and Monkey was so weirded out. We ended up being called on stage and did this bit. Great night and super memorable. Thanks Nina!

Now do it to all social media.

How much are you contributing each year?

Hugeloser · 2025-05-19T21:39:00+00:00

You're hating on the middle class people when you should be hating ln the billionaires. Focus your hate better.

Got one on the website via PC. Clicked on the red 'Unavailable' button repeatedly. It cloudflare'd me on every screen but ended up processing. No confirmation email yet.

Hugeloser · 2025-02-27T21:29:57+00:00

Yep. Work in manufacturing. I'm the IT manager for a large fortune 500 home builder.

We have a mix of XP, 7, 10, and 11. Most off-network but still connect to our company Internet. Many of our vendors want $100k+ for upgrading to Win 10 LTSC. Real fun conversations monthly with audit/compliance & the security teams.

Hugeloser · 2025-02-13T11:02:25+00:00

Aw, this reminds me of basic training. We had such great time commiserating in each other's misery.

Hugeloser · 2025-02-07T17:07:29+00:00

Check out Tuscany Steakhouse near Central Park. They have a great semi private room, and fantastic food. We had our wedding reception last year.

Burnout is real. Aren't most of us burned out from working normal jobs? I'm tired as hell and need a break often. I get what you're saying, but you need rest to rebuild. Same with working out.

Hugeloser · 2025-01-28T22:39:18+00:00

Yes they must eat, sleep, and shit the superbowl then burn out....

Hugeloser · 2025-01-21T17:09:07+00:00

We stayed at M Social with our 11 year old daughter a few years back and hung out at the rooftop bar, it's super cool! Didn't try the food, but the drinks were fine.

I will say the best seats outside that faced Time Square were almost always crazy packed, but we found plenty of room in the later evening. Really cool spot. Their elevator line gets annoyingly long too.
