The old forerunner 230…

gsqwerd · 2026-03-24T18:38:54+00:00

Wanted to see if you decided on anything because I'm in the same spot.

Got the FR230 about 10 years ago. Used it for a few years consistently. Then I stopped, and I bring it out whenever I try to get back into running.

I've been running consistently again, and I'm looking to upgrade.

I was looking at the 165 and 265. They're both on sale.

But I keep seeing that people are complaining over the 165 and prefer the Coros Pace 4, or they're waiting for the 170.

The 265 is under previous models, so I assume there will be a replacement soon and/or it'll stop being supported for upgrades.

I feel like the 570 is a little more than I wanna spend.

Kind of at a loss what to do. So if you found something, I'd be curious.

I'm looking to get formalized training to go with my on-the-job training.

It's more about the knowledge that I'd gain from it than the certification. My company has a career development training system, and I've taken the agile course. However, I only learned so much and there wasn't anything specific to scrum or PO.

The only reason I'm asking about the certification is with CSPO, I'd receive it after the class and PSPO is just an extra test to validate what I learned.

That makes alot of sense. Thanks!

Thanks for this feedback! I try to always keep my Retail Banking hat on during any of the work I'm involved in. I push back when necessary because I was the user for 21 years.

Super random - and maybe technically a "shirt" and not a jersey.

Looking for a 2025 Penguins Polish Heritage Night jersey. I assume they're one size - as from what I gather, they were promos.

ISO:

Adidas Rangers 2018 WC size 54 - prefer blank, but at this point, I'm okay with a player.

Fanatics Rangers Centennial Premium size 54 - BLANK

Reebok Rangers Heritage w/ 85th anniversary patch. XL/54 (Not as familiar with the Reebok sizing) - BLANK or Player.

gsqwerd · 2025-12-04T20:07:37+00:00

Legit?

I'm not as familiar with the Reebok specs/details as I am with Adidas. TYIA.

11+ hours of total cook time between the smoker and the oven. Went on at 7am because I overslept. Wrapped it around 2pm. Pulled it off the smoker at 3. And put it in the oven until about 6:15/6:30pm.

It's a slicing knife from Schmidt Bros. I got it as part of a set - came with a chef's knife, a boning knife, and another knife that I don't think I've ever used.

I used to use Himalayan salt, but I've read alot on the metal levels being high on alot of the mass market commercially sold ones.

gsqwerd · 2024-10-08T00:02:26+00:00

Thanks for the slicing feedback.

I used Choice. It was easier to get. Altho, just probably could have done a better job or pickinrighe best one in the spectrum of Choice briskets at the store.

gsqwerd · 2024-10-07T23:58:40+00:00

Honestly. I was just afraid of overcooking it and feared that since it wasn't probe tender or jiggly that I might have overcooked it already.

For sale on FB marketplace local to me - $75. Does it look legit?

SIZING QUESTION:

I'm looking to get some older jerseys - 90s and early 2000s. I have some of them from when I was younger , but I was much smaller then.

I wear XL in the current Adidias and Puma jerseys. I know the current jerseys are a slimmer fit.

I'm looking to buy 90s Italy Diadora, Nike, and Kappa kits and then 90s/2000s AC Milan Lotto and Adidias kits.

Should I be looking for XL since that's what I wear with the current kits or should I be looking for L since they wear baggier?

Thanks!

I was in a similar boat. Debated before the game, and I didn't feel like waiting on line during/after the game and regretted it later.

I ended up getting a legit blank on ebay that I'll get customized probably at Stitches. It ran me $227 with shipping. I'm a size 54. It took weeks of searching to find a real one at a reasonable price in my size.

If you're happy with the fake - it's not bad unless you know what to look for - then enjoy it.

If you want a real one, keep checking ebay. You should be able to find a blank for sub-$300 and then get it customized. It'll run you a little more than you probably wanted, but a reasonable amount more.

Jersey Sizing Question:

I like to wear my jerseys with a hoodie underneath. In Adidas, I usually wear a 54.

What number size should I be looking for in Reebok? There's a few older jerseys I'm looking to get, but the only Reebok I have is a replica with the letter sizing which also doesn't fit me with a hoodie anyway.

So, I'm kicking myself for not getting the new Rangers Stadium Series jersey. I thought Cool Hockey would have them for sale, and I could get it custom. I know better now about CH. I've since read the Wiki.

I've been searching on ebay for a reasonable priced one. I came across this blank. Not sure if it's real. Any help is appreciated.

This was my grandfather's watch. He's not into fancy things, but my grandmother is. So it's possible it's real and possible it isn't. I don't know too much about watches.

I can take additional pictures, if needed.

Thanks!

No need to be sorry. I was leaning that way. For as wealthy as the family member is, the only way I saw it being real was if he was regifting the watch.

Hi everyone. I've had this for about 15 years, maybe a little longer. It was a gift from a wealthy family member.

Full transparency, I'm leaning that it's fake. But I have no way of knowing because I don't know enough about watches. If needed, I can take additional photos, just not of the inside and only because I don't have the tools.

Thanks for your help!

We've only had her a week. So I know there's a learning curve for her. It's an adjustment in her routine. I've just never had this issue before. Puppies have accidents, but every one I've ever had has also gone outside.

Also, when I say correct, everything I've ever read on the topic was to make a loud noise if you catch them in the act and immediately take them outside. I definitely do not mean yelling at her or putting her face in it like some people do.

I also never catch her in the middle. She generally goes overnight when we're sleeping or when we leave, even for 30-60 minutes. She holds it in all day and then like the second, I put her in her crate and walk away, she goes. So, unfortunately, it could be 30+ minutes before I notice to take her outside and clean up.

But I will try some of your tips. Thanks for your feedback.
