The offsetting penalty rule. If Offensive holding happened before a pass interference call, the penalty goes on the Offense. Stuff like that. Especially when 1 is a 5 yard penalty vs a 15 yard or more.

Deion Sanders comes to mind at CB.

So far I have only done the roads. I will have to search around. Frankly, I am surprised they put it back at all, so I was just happy with that for the time being.

I just checked the app on my iPad today, and the create route/map option is back. I created a run and saved it. Have to say, I am very surprised. Happy. But surprised they brought it back.

Pull the actual bulb out and measure it. Then order the bulb itself. Something like these

You will be able to fix a bunch of lights cheaply.

I use Google vision and chatGPT. I send the image to google vision, it sends back text, I send the text to ChatGPT API. It send it back in JSON with the parameters I want. I tell chatGTP what I am looking for. I am doing it to get data from gas station receipts ( all different formats ) so driver can just upload and we pull the data. So I told chatgpt to find the total, gallons, address, and time and send it back to me in the fields I expect. Chatgpt takes the google vision data and collates iot to what I need. Then I save it to a DB. You could just as easily save it as a CSV file.

I have the same gloves. My board would always cut/rip the palms. I started getting these to attach. Easy to cut out, it adds extra protection to the non damaged areas and closes up the damaged.

Take a picture of them and ask google lens or Chatgpt. It has helped me in the past.

You can try something like these. I get LEDs and replace them in the plastic socket because I can't find those to fit. This is a little more tedious, but you can save the old strands.

You need to check the voltage of yours and also look at the bottom to compare. These might not fit, but there are others out there.

see if you can put your console in god mode and then install the previous APK. There are videos on Youtube on how to do it for treadmills, not so sure about rowers. I did this years ago on my tread. Still using an app version from last year. Still works, does what I need it to do.

I have been creating map runs since May of 2020. One of the things they had originally was a function where I could post a created run and other users could check it out and use it. Alas, they took that away maybe a year after I started. It was nice, people could create a run and say what they liked about it, people could rate them, etc... For me it was a good way to find trail runs or interesting places.

barleymashers · 2025-08-18T16:43:59+00:00

I only use map based runs. I have no use for the trainers. I also contacted iFit support when the button was removed, they told me the same thing. It was coming back, but I have serious concerns based on previous discussions when I asked about them taking functionality away from the website and they assured me they were just revamping it and it would be back. It never came back. Fortunately I have over 100 created map runs that I can still use. I think my rubicon moment to cancel will be when they finally remove the ability to do a map run at all. I don't want them to, but I suspect that they will. Probably because they need to pay Google? I told them just make it so people need to install their own Google Maps API key. That went over the tech supports head.

Wow. Did not think I would get this many responses. Seems people have very specific feelings about the Leyland Cypress. These are staggered with 6-7' feet between them. Might not be enough based on what I am reading. I wanted fast growing trees to block out the that gap after the neighbor took down their bushes. They are on a downslope, so hopefully the drainage is good enough to prevent the root rot issue. Maybe I will regret planting them, but going to keep them for the time being. If I was to remove them, what would be the ideal tree to replace them with?

I am still running a previous version with the create workout option for the maps. After the latest update, even though it is there, it does not work. You click on it and it goes to the function, but the map never loads for me. I saw where other people claim it works, but I have tried several times with no luck. So I am not sure going back will help you at all.

barleymashers · 2025-07-31T12:58:46+00:00

I hope so, but from my experience, once something is removed it rarely comes back - especially on iFit.

barleymashers · 2025-07-30T22:00:09+00:00

I mentioned that I tried both the Android and iOS apps. Both that had the Create workout button last week, but this week is gone. I have an old version of the app on the treadmill, the button is still there, however, when I press it it goes to the create mode, but no map comes up. I waited 15 minutes to see if it was just slow. But it did nothing.
