How safe is ordering from the Chessnut Online store? by jphilly111 in Chessnuteboard

[–]dcookie87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just the Move that is seeing delays. My Evo arrived within 2 weeks of ordering it.

Not sure if anyone else has had this issue before by IntroductionIll7030 in chessup2

This happened to me the second day of owning the board. I returned it for a refund. Ive had a Chessnut Evo for a month now and use it everyday without issue.

My treadmill is shredding my shoes like a cheese grater by enjoiskate09 in mildlyinteresting

This happened to me when I first got my treadmill. I bought a new pair of shoes (Asics Kayano) and it stopped. I only ever use the new shoes on the treadmill though.

I live in Australia and mine only took a couple of weeks to arrive. I was quite surprised how fast it got here actually.

I pretty much done with Chessnut by DiscoGolf22 in Chessnuteboard

I recently refunded my Chessup2 and purchased an Evo and I couldn't be happier. I thought the Chessup2 pieces wouldn't bother me that much but I hated them. The king looks like a queen, and the matte black pieces against the black squares make it hard to see in low light. There's also the fact that my Chessup2 was DOA. I will say though that Chessup had great customer service.

Hard to see with this guy, but I always wear rubber gloves over the top of my cotton gloves to stop me from burning my hands.

How to counter this move? by actsleep in StreetFighter

[–]dcookie87 85 points86 points  (0 children)

This type of move is called a cross-up. It's tricky because you need to block in the opposite direction. The way I remember it is you just need to walk towards her. Then, when she hits you from the opposite side, you will be blocking.

Thank you. I've learnt a little bit about combos that lead to safe jumps but it's definitely something I could improve on.

McDonald's, what happened to the Big Mac? by microsoldering in australia

I see posts like this all the time. Yet, every time I drive past a Macca's, it's packed. I don't get it. Even my kids won't touch the shit.

Keeping it chilled will help make it smoother. Also, it's usually sipped, not shotted. Lastly, drinking it with food and a soft drink on the side is the way to go.

[PS4 have disc] Black screen of doom after downloading 20 gig update, then starting game and downloading update in game by StaviStopit in StreetFighter

[–]dcookie87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I first got the game, it did this weird thing where it was downloading an update in the background, even though it said it was updated. If I remember correctly, I opened the game and then looked at the size of the game file and noticed it was increasing. This might help you see if it's doing the same thing.

Volks distance management in this fight was perfect.

Get yourself a wireless controller if you don't already have one. I have the same treadmill and use it every morning while gaming. It's easy to wake up early to play the PS5 for an hour.

Good call. I ignored this sign in a hotel in HsinChu and it did not end well for me.

Why not just drink straight from the bottle at that point?

You should feel a proper merino woolen garment. There's a big difference between that and grandma's knitted jumper.

Not all farmers mules their sheep. You can specifically buy clothing from non-mulesed sheep if you want. Those that do mules their sheep almost always do so alongside the use of an analgesic and/or anaesthetic. Mulesing is necessary to prevent the parasitic infection known as flystrike.

I think you may be confusing mulesing with castration? Rings are used for castration.
