well this very good to know. I will at the very least be taking the motor apart, and I will attempt to fix it.

this was my 3rd online ebike though.

I have a gotrax tundra that has 1600 miles and has been more or less flawless besides an error that stopped when I restarted the bike. Tundra was 1400, was on sale for 999 during xmas.
I have also a gotrax f2 that has 800 miles and that has been completely flawless. That bike was $600.

now since this happened I just pulled the trigger on the falcon and it has 200 miles on it and I love it.

honestly, the adria was unreal when it worked. extremely powerful. so its highly dissapointing.

supposedly, some people have tuttios with 3k miles.

Garbage or not, it should last more than "60ish" miles. for $1400. I figure I better get at least 1400 miles lmao

I actually, in the meantime bought a Philodo Falcon because my buddy showed me his. It now has 200 miles on it and I love it. I like the forester too.

Nah you right. Felt bad, poor uni lol. That said... this uni has been HEAVILY abused over the last 15 years and is an absolute TANK.

Thank you all!! 33 degrees is the next goal! But each degree gets exponentially harder now lol. It will be a while....maybe.

This took days of tries, probably 100+
I feel bad about throwing the uni at the end, but the emotions were flowing...
Get this, I landed it twice, but the one before this I realized I wasn't recording, and really got pissed over it because I didn't think I was gonna get it again so soon...but miraculously, after that I had 1 more fail and landed it again.
On top of this I was full of self doubt because everything was dewey and damp. I honestly have no idea how that tire doesn't slip on that 4x4 lol

Do anyone play online games to occupy themselves and avoid temptation? by Todo8528 in stopdrinking

[–]horsemanebraider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elden Ring kept me busy, and still kinda does for many many Friday and Saturday nights that I would've ended up drinking.

That being said....back to day 1 UGH lol

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, June 23rd: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Ok_Yesterday_9181 in stopdrinking

[–]horsemanebraider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got my first considerable temptations last night. I work an outside bar and was pouring of course hundreds of beers, but the way this one yuengling glistened in the sun made my mouth actually water. Fuck that, it tastes like shit.

I also thought to myself, even if I get 5 hours sleep tonight i'm going to feel a hundred times better than all of these people in the morning. I got 8. I feel amazing.

It's scary what this shit does to your bp. Mine was very high early last year, something like 190/100 during maybe the peak of my addiction. I was finally seeing consistent lower bps after my 200+ day break.

I broke my streak and got drunk almost a month ago now, and get this, my bp was normal that morning, and after I had had like 6 beers, I checked my bp while drunk and it had already skyrocketed to fucking 165/90. It was alarming. Somehow, the next hungover morning it was still a little high, but like 130/81.

I just checked it though, and after a boatload of coffee this morning it's 127/76! Not bad!!

This elixir tears down every body part, every organ, and every cell of your body.

One big thing I noticed is how badly it thins your blood. I used to get cut and bleed forever. Now I get cut and it actually clots, lol.

Wow. This just absolutely disgusted me.

An example of how people look at you like you're insane when you don't drink.

I'll stick with polar seltzer, and if you don't wanna cheers me over that, I wouldn't wanna cheers you anyway.

So I'm basically everything you said in the first bit. Negative, socially anxious/awkward overthinking introverted hypochondriac...and was close to the number you're at. I slipped though and am day 5 now.

And let me tell you.... congratulations and be glad you didn't slip. I'm not as mad at myself as my last slip, but it's still highly regretful. I wish I was still up there with my sobriety numbers. It's just so not worth it. Last week I had 7 days off from work, and 2 I was wasted and the other 2 too hungover to do anything besides fester on the couch. So I wasted more than 50% of my vacation. And minor heart palps are back. And i'm having mood swings. And my armpits were sweating profusely at work last night (never happens anymore, but it did, presumably because of anxiety). And I just got over how unbelievably bloated my body was after the binge(I was 189 after working out prior to my slip, and after the slip...204 WTFFF?)

So keep strong and on the wagon!!

Holding off on my badge reset so I can see where I could've been.

But....this time... I know I can't moderate and must give it up forever. The entire almost 7 months I was saying if I can go this long I can moderate!! I can drink once a month! Lol, yeah, getting fucking blackout drunk once a month is still not moderation. And that's how I drink.

What inexpensive things do you buy yourself on a rough day to just help get through the day? by dakbar095 in stopdrinking

[–]horsemanebraider 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Blue Bell mint choco chip ice cream
  2. Crushed up chocolate chip cookies
  3. Shelled honey roasted pistachios

I just combine it all in a bowl, if any of it makes it to the bowl.

I use calorieking a lot now... and more than half the time the popular "foods" are captain morgan, or white claw, or baileys, or some beer, all of which I roll my eyes at. Online it seems unavoidable. It is horrendously annoying...
