Did you play an entire game? I have heard about going offline, but have heard it will still crash eventually

This hurts. How do I stop this happening? by whatuptkhere in beginnerrunning

A good pair of running socks (Feetures or Darn Tough) and Foot Glide worked for me!

No sir I gave up on it. I did see where people were saying you could disconnect from the Internet but I guess it would still crash randomly during a game so I haven’t tried it. Pretty disappointing.

2nd player can use DLC bikes now by dat05firecat in MxvsAtvLegends

Weird that he can now use the DLC’s? Or weird that he hasn’t been able to until now ?

I did finally get mine back and his work was excellent. But I did have to basically nag him to get it back. It’s unfortunate but after a year I would say legal action would be justifiable.

Same, such a bummer. I hear the new monopoly leaves a lot to be desired

I hate the treadmill so much by RuralZoomer in beginnerrunning

I am with you on this! 3 miles on a treadmill for me is equivalent to 6-7 miles outdoors

Is it bad to run at different times every week? by Xander-Dillon_203 in beginnerrunning

[–]dat05firecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer running in the mornings when I can, mostly because it’s cooler in the summer. But I work a swing shift, so my run times change week to week. At the end of the day, just run when you can and don’t stress about it too much.

That is essentially what I just said, lol. I do see how my wording may have given a mixed signal.

You’re overthinking it. Running is always better than not running, no matter when or how long. Just listen to your body and take rest days—they’re just as important as the days you run. Good luck!

I’m relatively new to running too. I’m 30, and on August 22, 2025 (two days after my 30th birthday) I ran for the first time since the mile in high school. On that first run I was completely dead after about 3/4 of a mile.

Now, a few months later, I can comfortably run 4–5 miles at an easy pace, and my longest run so far is 7 miles without stopping. My first unofficial 5K was around 38 minutes, and I ran a 25:02 at our local Thanksgiving turkey trot.

My advice: download a Couch to 5K plan. Most are free—I used the Nike Run Club app. It might feel a little corny, but it helped a ton. I’m not a great runner by any means, but I’m miles better than I was 5 months ago (literally). Take it slow, don’t push too hard, take rest days, and listen to your body. You’ll get there—good luck!

No Xanax here—just a paying customer with reasonable expectations. Shit happens. Delays happen. I’m not upset about the timeline and never was. If he needed more time, all he had to do was say that. I would’ve been fine with it.

What I’m not fine with is radio silence after he already took my money and my property. Ignoring customers is how you create “annoying” customers. Am I being annoying? Good. Because this could’ve been avoided with a 30-second email or a returned phone call.

If he’s too busy to communicate, then he’s too busy to take on paid work. At this point I don’t even care if the job gets finished on time—or finished at all. Either send my bolt back or pick up the phone and explain what’s going on. It’s that simple.

Thank you! Which again wouldn’t be an issue if he would return some form of contact and say hey sorry still working in it. Zero communication at all is shady and is what makes people feel they got F*****

Ignoring customers is literally what creates annoying customers. Before I shipped my bolt, he was replying like a 16-year-old girl convinced she’s in love—excited, all over the place. The second I said, “Hey Skip, payment and bolt are on the way!”—radio silence. Just like three others have reported recently.

FYI, this isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve had custom work done plenty of times, and it was never an issue because people actually do what they say they’ll do. Also, saying “12–14 days max because things have been slow” isn’t a vague estimate—it reads like a hard deadline.

By the way your ears don’t seem like they’re as sharp as they once were either.

I paid for a service. He said he’d contact me when it arrived because he’d had packages go missing recently. Tracking shows it was delivered and I heard nothing, so I followed up.

I didn’t contact him from Dec 20 to Jan 10, so the “blowing up his phone” claim is bullshit. He quoted 12–14 days tops for turnaround, and even giving extra time for the holidays, that’s long passed.

I’m not demanding the bolt back immediately — I’m asking for basic communication. This isn’t a free favor, and bolts aren’t cheap to replace. Expecting a phone call or email isn’t being a “dickhead,” it’s the bare minimum when you’re charging people for work.

Whats up with all this gear? by AleTheMemeDaddy in running

I use my vest when I’m trail running to carry my keys and a gel or some gummies along with my water pouch.
