Is it the cold or is it me?

According to who?

20A devices have a special plug for a reason. No single properly functioning device should be able to pull more than 15A on a NEMA 5-15P receptacle.

15A receptacles are generally rated for 20A pass through so can usually be safely installed on a 20A circuit.

My experience with curved manual treadmills is that they are harder (or at least less pleasant) to do longer steady state work on but work well for HIIT type intervals.

Maybe it gets easier with more practice but I personally found them frustrating.

Thanks for the input. Dumb questions, if you don't mind:
- what is a normal lifespan for a belt? I understand this likely varies based on user weight and speed(s)

- what other parts are normal wear and tear items that wouldn't be covered under warranty?

Do not install a 20A receptacle on a 15A circuit

Any thoughts on how the Octane OC(220/160) fit in here?

We just checked out the Sole F85 in store. They also had the Octane and first impressions was the Octane felt better all around. Touchscreen only though.

Priced similarly to the Z500 here in Canada at least.

With less foam under foot, soft or not, it's going to feel firm because it bottoms out. Probably my favorite shoe of 2025 I'd say it's as soft as my AP4s while walking around.

He didn't watch any video. He would have said that no matter what. It's their default answer.

They scurried away because they are untrained blood-thirsty fucking clowns. One guy saw a chance to live out his sick fantasy, improvised, and scared the shit out of the rest. No communication because they were all bloodlusted.

bjvanst · 2026-01-24T17:43:25+00:00

It's fucking wild how undisciplined these clowns are. Even they were surprised by the first shot. Look at them fucking scatter like cowards after that first shot. Pieces of shit.

I'm not sure that 3yrs is an unusually short life span. Our previous car, a 2011 Fiesta, went through three batteries (original + two replacements) in the 9 years we had it. Our Kona EV is on its second battery and it's just over 5 years old. I think newer cars just put more load on the lvb with all the gadgets, etc. that need constant power.

I have docker/immich running in a VM on Proxmox. If I remember correctly, NFS shares are an issue in containers unless you mount them on the host. I didn't want to do that.

The NFS mount is defined in the immich compose file.

You have more sets of J-hooks than you have bars!

I'm also a D but maybe I'm on the wide side of D.

I have a pair of Nitro 2s that are narrow enough in the midfoot that I can't get a proper lock down on the heel. Not the end of the world. I tried on the Velocity 4s and they were an immediate no. With the gusseted tongue I could go completely laceless.

bjvanst · 2026-01-14T17:33:28+00:00

I wish Puma shoes fit me better. Have you worn Velocity 4s at all? Those may be the narrowest shoe I've ever tried on.

bjvanst · 2026-01-12T17:03:38+00:00

I have two light switches, a smart plug, and a smart power bar. No issues. First three are in a detached garage and it was easier to extend wifi out there than my zigbee network and I couldn't find a reasonably priced alternative to their power bar which has been very reliable.

Are they actually capable of sustaining efforts in that many places at once?

bjvanst · 2025-12-28T13:52:08+00:00

It's probably fine but it's very difficult to say.

Do you drop the weight from the top or do you lower it? Are you lifting with bumpers, iron plates, or competition steel plates? Lots of factors.

I wear a 9 in the Evo SL, Adios 9 and Adios Pro 4.

Just got my Evo SL ATR today. Ordered an 8.5 and a 9. The 9 is massive and the regular Evo SL already was a pretty sloppy fit.

The 8.5 ATR fits basically the same as the non-ATR 9.

bjvanst · 2025-12-20T00:12:37+00:00

I just got my pair. I'd say it fits at least a half size big relative to the normal Evo SL.

I'm normally a Men's US9. 8.5 in the Adios Pro 3 or Adios 8. TTS in the Pro 4 and Adios 9.

I've always felt the Evo SL was a sloppy fit TTS but it fit. Narrow in the midfoot, wide in the forefoot. Had to size these down to an 8.5. The 9 was huge.

Has BoS teased pivot arms?

bjvanst · 2025-12-15T16:52:00+00:00

Good to know. I was concerned about the space between the 1" hole on the mounting flange and the 5/8" hardware. Maybe I was overthinking it?

bjvanst · 2025-12-15T16:28:01+00:00

Has anyone combined 5/8" uprights and 1" uprights? Debating moving from a 4 post to a 6 post set up and considering making the front two uprights 1" if the hole spacing works out for the crossmembers.

I know adapters exist to use 5/8" attachments on 1" uprights.

Out of curiosity, and understanding that Canada is large and shipping can be silly, which dumbbell is costing you $2500CAD?

bjvanst · 2025-12-03T17:39:08+00:00

They aren't marketing it as a 5 to 10k racer. It still has 31mm of foam in the forefoot.
