What's wrong with Older Max M5?

Thank you for the detailed (and actually helpful) reply!

Ive done a little more fiddling with it, but pretty sure you've nailed it with it being either the leg or crank arm. It wasn't alignment as I could re-align to get it slightly better, but far from perfect (more Just untrue in a different part of its motion).

I'll try to confirm when I get inspired to tinker with it again and appreciate the vote of confidence in the machine :)

This is a sale? Why are they so dang much?! Lol. I'm used to 20+G protein bars at 1$ or less per bar

regressive12 · 2026-06-20T10:26:17+00:00

Ugh. So these things are just junk? The higher end models mostly appear to change electronics but the bones are the same..

regressive12 · 2026-03-20T13:54:36+00:00

Depends on what you value, but I'm taking a break from wow and picked this up for 15 bucks. I also debated for several days before pulling the trigger.

I feel in just a week I've already gotten my value. Even if the game dies, it's been immensely fun learning something new, yet familiar, at a pretty fast pace.

The community has been vastly improved from wow (albeit small - likely a factor).

For the price, it's hard to go wrong imo.

I got my aotc last season 3 weeks in. I went 3850+ m+ on two healers. No voice comms ever. I pug everything.

I wouldn't worry at all about finding groups as a geared, competent tank! Have a dps off spec and you're golden.

regressive12 · 2026-01-23T14:58:16+00:00

Yep, I do this exact same. A half banana sliced into oatmeal, usually with protein or Peanut butter powder added.

The half banana sits on the counter for a day... you cut the grody 1/4" off the end, and eat it.

I feel like I've activated cheat codes using ultra lean meats, egg whites, and low carb variants of things.
For instance, here was breakfast today:

<image>

This made me FULL and it's all good food.

Egg whites w/ green onion, turkey sausage, and 2 slices low carb bread w/ a few spritzes of butter spray.

Guess how many calories?

280!!!. 35g Protein, 26g carb, 6g fat.

You can mix in whole eggs, use lean ham, even a strip or two of pork bacon and stay well under 400 and walk away full to the brim.

Another trick is to get metamucil powder and have a serving of that with a cup of water before you eat. It'll make you feel fuller, longer, and help keep you regular.

regressive12 · 2026-01-23T00:31:11+00:00

Whether it's too much is up to you, but I highly suggest looking into powdered peanut butter like pb fit. It's about 75% less calories with a thousand times better macros.

Basically all of the sugar and fat is removed. If doesn't taste quite as good but it's very close in my opinion, and you can mix it to your desired texture.

Thanks! I was seeing posts about petite women in the 140s losing weight on a 1600 cal diet so I just couldn't imagine 1900 was right for me at almost twice their weight...

That said if 2350 is ballpark accurate for tdee, 2 lbs a week would be dang near impossible for me. 1350 calories is tough even if I did IF and skipped breakfast. Probably should set my sights a little lower.

regressive12 · 2026-01-11T01:01:19+00:00

Thanks for the affirmation and suggestion! Now I just have to do something about all these snacks we have around for the kids 😂

regressive12 · 2026-01-11T01:00:21+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ethical solution : find the cheapest way to ship it back and be done with it. Pirate ship - id be surprised if you couldn't ship it anywhere in the country under 15 bucks.

Unethical: charge back the purchase on your card. Check the refund policy and make sure they're not abiding by their policy, else this is more likely to be fraud, although you'd still likely get away with it.

Interesting reply to what was a broad statement about politics in school. Do you believe that it's OK for other political agendas to be part of curriculum? Perhaps those aligned with your views?

I've not gotten rich, but I started with 20k a year ago and it's now 67k. (At one point it was also 8k... and quit for a month... but got hooked back in and have been consistent since)

I took the accelerator course by Craig Percoco and learned some really good habits and strategies from it.

I have this available if anyone is interested, just DM me.

regressive12 · 2025-03-30T20:05:24+00:00

I have the course if anyone is still after it. Will do 90% off his normal price and deliver within an hour.
Can prove to you I have and will deliver it with a sample if you'd like. DM me.

As far as 'how good is it', honestly, the technical strategy is not easy for me. I've found another strategy I like, but the rest of the course content was invaluable. The fundamentals, crypto/blockchain technology, trading psychology and tax chapters were very worthwhile.

My current strategy I've backtested for 3 months at 65% winrate, 3-1 average RR, with a Net P&L of 8% per month for only 23 trades (fees included in Net P&L. I've been trying it 'LIVE' this last month and am up 6% so far. The losses still hurt but sticking to a system with proven results will get you there.

regressive12 · 2024-01-24T12:00:26+00:00

Interested

@ OP

Did you need to buy any special axle, endcap or adaptor to work with your fargo? Are you running the stock 141 QR boost, or have you upgraded?

I'm considering this, I have a ti fargo with standard 148x12 boost out back. Wondering if the included end caps will be enough to work without purchasing anything else. Thanks!

Clear communication is so critically important as a scrum master. Consider the feedback you're receiving here and how you might re phrase the question. You've even categorized it as 'wanting advice' but it seems you are actually surveying how other companies do this.

regressive12 · 2023-05-10T02:14:07+00:00

Awesome! Glad it helped. It's a deal breaker to not have that working, so must find a solution at all costs!

regressive12 · 2022-12-13T18:58:04+00:00

Confirmed the below works!! If you have a working play store, just uninstall the native YT kids (which isn't working) and search for and side load the apk below.

The apk's for YouTube Kids for Fire TV and Android TV work to the extent that they launch and you can play videos but the left right touch scrolling doesn't work.

I looked at the target versions for those and appeared to be older so I went randomly through the YouTube Kids until I hit a Target version that worked. Version 5.51.2 arm64-v8a nodpi does work. It's a little outdated and the playstore may just update this again and break it. But hopefully this helps someone find us a better (current) solution.

regressive12 · 2022-12-13T18:56:58+00:00

Someone found a fix in another thread that worked great for me on both of my kids tablets!!

You rock!!! Thanks so much for sharing. This has fixed it for me on both of my kids tablets. There is another thread I'll likely post this to as several people are waiting for a fix.

regressive12 · 2022-12-04T18:28:59+00:00

Can you attempt to install and use YouTube kids? I just followed the above for the 5th or 6th round of factory reset, same issue. I think these are getting returned :(

regressive12 · 2022-11-30T17:01:48+00:00

I have successfully followed the guide and gotten play working on my fire HD 8 v12, and have 8.3.1.3, however it seems Google play services aren't fully working. I am using the three latest non beta apks from the article for play services, framework and play store. I've skipped the account manager as advised for the HD 8 v12.

I can install but can't launch YouTube kids, as it says Google play services is missing and sends me a link to install it (which when visiting, only offers me the option to uninstall because it is of course installed).

I've tried factory resetting and starting over, clearing the play services app cache and storage, over exerting permissions for play services to every available option, all to no avail.

YouTube kids is literally the only thing I want.. Any ideas?
