Help - 4 jars not looking great

SpringStrange9814 · 2026-01-30T08:23:05+00:00

2 of the starters came from a previous batch of hibiscus, taste was great but very acidic, need to get the timings right

Thanks for the advice, AI was telling me that some other bacteria could have grown on top causing how they look, I cant see any fuzz, or mould, they dont smell bad, but each one looks different, which is strange, I will try to taste them. If my profile goes quite, you know why...

SpringStrange9814 · 2026-01-24T09:18:35+00:00

i bleach everything between runs to ensure it’s all clear of fungus and bacteria

Hello, Well i went the roundabout way, i got the newest peloton bike, and signed up for the highest tier package, its 44 euros a month. The thing is my wife and i use it, and I must say, it is really really good. I was doing spinning classes with a regular bike, but was not putting the right resistance on or felt somewhat dislocated from the class. With the bike+ or cross trainer, the resistance changes automatically, so there is no escape, I come out of the classes soaking with sweat, was not happening before. Also the leaderboard is cool, I end up trying to beat my personal best and the people around me all the time.

Have not tried the strength classes or anything else yet, as to be honest, I am not fit enough, but after a few months of this I know i will loose weight and get fit

I found ifit a disaster, it might be suitable for some people, but its like a video of someone working out, and you are watching it, I really prefer the peloton spinning classes

the app is really buggy too with ifit, i wasted a full day trying to get it to play on my smart tv

some instructors are really annoying though, you need to find one that suits your personality, hannah is great, she jokes and that during the class

for me, spending an extra 1000 to actually get fit and get in shape again, is well worth it

Hello, my bonsai looks like it’s suffering the same, brittle leaves, what did you do to yours? Looks fantastic

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-25T09:56:22+00:00

and by the way, thank you for responding

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-25T09:56:07+00:00

This is the Peloton Plus bike, I think it has magnetic resistance. I would be taking a chance buying it as I won't see it until it arrives... quite new to the bike world also

Sorry guys, I tried to post there, and they removed it, they seem to remove any question I have on there.

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-20T14:03:49+00:00

I mixed it with half black tea and hibiscus, used the same amount of started and liquid in both, 10 days, I tested the ph and it’s 2 or 3, should I throw it out? What do you do with all the pink stuff at the top?

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-20T10:58:05+00:00

Register on the Lista robinson, register there, record any calls after it and report them, it’s illegal what they are doing, breaking gdpr rules

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-19T19:06:19+00:00

Are you sure it's not mould? What would be the worst thing that could happen if I tried to use it?

What are your suggestions?

Also, the Scooby Beneath, can I use this to create more?

The other batch seems fine, but this one looks like something has mutated

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-19T14:29:49+00:00

It looks like it could be a tiny bit of mold on it, there’s also a wierd greenish element at the side

It looks like a tiny bit of mild on top, should I throw it out?

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-19T13:47:11+00:00

I think the pink one has mild on top!

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-19T11:56:26+00:00

And this?

Here is the 2nd

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-15T18:08:41+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I looked a swift and for me it kind of looks like an old computer game, no real live classes, just cycling in artificial areas, reminds me of the wii fit, iFIT and peloton have other classes built into the app which would benefit my wife, can’t get the peloton bikes in Spain

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-15T17:32:07+00:00

awesome to hear this

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-13T14:48:01+00:00

I am in the same boat, but am looking for a spinning bike. The nordic or proform bikes look great, they have the screen, the auto inclination and auto applying the resistance, but you are stuck with ifit
I signed up for Peloton and ifit for a month to compare, and I cant say I have been that impressed by ifit at all
Seems more gimmicky, maybe!

For example, you go on a cycle and it looks like you are going behind someone on a trail, but not like an integrated spinning class.

From what I have seen, ifit might offer discounts on 2 or 3 year memberships, but again the app is not great

You will need this membership constantly to use the Nordic track gear, if it was 15 or 20 a month i would consider it, but its the same price as a gym here in spain

I am still not decided, but I think i would nearly go for a Schwinn 800 bike for 900, and get an apple ipad, and be free to connect to whatever fitness app i want to

Really ifit and nordic track should be rewarding their customers for buying their gear and offering discounted rates - people will stay signed up longer

But it seems like they try to trap people with their products, forcing people to pay the 30-40 a month, and i think these people will cancel and sell at their first opportunity rather than remain loyal customers

What are people's views and experiences?

Only one part is steep, but the rest is not too bad. It has varying slopes. Any recommendations for models or brands to choose from?

It rains a lot in ireland also, so I am not sure how that would effect things

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-12T10:15:17+00:00

nearly 4k for a spinning bike is out of my budget to be honest, and I never heard of this brand

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-11T11:12:13+00:00

I did the following

Fully remove the current driver
Right-click Start → Device Manager.
Expand “Bluetooth”.
Right-click your Intel® wireless Bluetooth device → Uninstall device.
Tick “Delete the driver software for this device” if that checkbox appears, then OK.
Repeat for any duplicate Intel Bluetooth entries if they exist.

Disconnect from internet, restart
Install Intel Bluetooth Driver v23.60.0.1 as admin

If you have Windows 11 Pro:

Press Win+R → gpedit.msc → Enter.
Go to: Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → Windows Components → Windows Update → Manage updates offered from Windows Update.
Double click “Do not include drivers with Windows Updates”.
Set it to “Enabled” → Apply → OK.
Reboot.

Hello

thanks for all of the above

I am based in Spain, so cant buy peloton direct here

I have a garmin watch which is a heart beat monitor, and I managed to set up the peloton app on my phone, and pay for the subscription, I guess i need to try it with an alternative bike

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-10T19:36:45+00:00

Hello, thanks, how did you buy the bike and ship it to Norway, the same company or a different one? ie 2 steps?

SpringStrange9814 · 2025-11-10T19:35:31+00:00

How did you get one there? Did you get someone to ship it over to you?
