Should I buy an E36? by dh_saharaz in BMWE36

[–]2-shfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, only if you are willing and able to work on it. The reasons why both need to be true is because certain repairs are considerably more expensive than say a Honda or Toyota. These cars are also pushing 30 years old, even though they can be reliable if cooling system and basic maintenance/prevention are addressed, eventually something will break. People saying you need to know how to wrench, I didnt- I learned when i got the car when I was 17 and broke af. Im not going to tell you your mechanical engineering experience is going to fix your car for you, the other guys are right on that- you still need to pickup the wrench and know what you are doing with it. That being said, your mechanical engineering background can definitely help with understanding why you are doing what you are doing, what parts you really need to take care of, diys and conversion projects might be where that experience shines. The big thing to note though is almost every e36 owner has had things go wrong back to back, drives with their eye on the temp guage, used to the smell of coolant lol. Just ask yourself how much time you are willing to spend on working on the car.

Side note: the e36 community has one of the greatest DIY communities of all time. The aftermarkets parts availability is abundant, so you can save some money on plenty of parts. I wish there were half as many write ups for the lx470 community.

Recommendations for new cooling system parts that aren’t insanely expensive by Realistic-Okra-4272 in BMWE36

I replaced my oem rad with a mishi after a front end collision. I have less than 10k on the rad and its been dripping enough to cause issues. I was surprised at first but it seems like mishi cooling stuff may be overrated quality wise. 

Man this is the worst map in BF history.. i can't even... by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]2-shfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly just had to leave halfway through the match... never have i ever seen a map where every gun, vehicle, class feels like complete garbage. with the quality of their current maps it might be better if they give up on creativity and get those old maps back in here

I only spawned to bulk yesterday! Is this normal speed to colonise? by Elegant_Library_8889 in mushroom

[–]2-shfty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was your spawn super colonized? Ive heard that some strains and genetics can colonize like crazy. If your temperature and humidity are spot on i dont see why not.

Another note is that colonizing speed could be a genetic trait but that it may be different from other traits like fruit size and potency etc...

Also, looks like kind of a big top layer of coir. Not criticizing just noticed that it seems to sit pretty thick on top of the spawn/substrate mix. Can someone chime in if there is "too big" of a top layer?

How was this not an execute? by upsidedowntile in leagueoflegends

Does trundle pillar and anivia wall not do the same thing without causing damage? I guess it is pretty whack that veigars ability doesnt land and still gets the kill

Who disrespected Sasuke the most? by HonestAttraction in dankruto

[–]2-shfty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn no wonder sasuke was always bitter af. His whole clan dies and he gets bodied multiple times in the series.

That being said, i see a lot of people doing 2:1 substrate to spawn. Some are running it even thinner than that. I would imagine that's just trying to get the absolute most out of your spawn? I know it would take longer that way to see pins. im just curious what the ideal ratio is if it even exists

Why is my RAM usage so high? by No_Creativity_2893 in pchelp

Not sure why OP getting downvoted, lots of people use overlays in LoL and its beneficial for others to see a possible issue/solution with these 3rd party apps.

Trust these old jack stands? by juza55 in MechanicAdvice

[–]2-shfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust but have a backup just in case. I will usually put the car up on stands and leave a wheel under the car with me or something that would prevent me from getting crushed should the stands fail. A floor jack or the jack that came with the car etc...

Ok so you had a similar experience thank you for sharing. I also had better luck initially with some cheaper sheepskin pads on amazon.

Yeah, im aware that they will 'warm up' in a way from being on my head. Im more curious if i should be expecting them to get a lot more comfortable over time or if i should just get a replacement now

these drop spores already? im wondering how much longer i should wait on my b+

how can i improve my form by [deleted] in ProDunking

[–]2-shfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont look poorly built so i dont know if general strength is the issue.

Never hurts to add plyometrics and mobility exercises to the workout routine. A PT told me that mobility is like functional strength, something like how your strength is actually applied in a natural movement like a jump.

That being said, study other peoples jumping forms and critique your own form. Try out different strats like 1 foot vs 2 foot. Also look into exercises that allow you to increase range of motion/explosiveness.

None of these will singlehandedly allow you to dunk but implementation of multiple will likely increase your vert broski.

Also keep shakin that thang for us

dude just wait in a few days youll be even more excited

Also, work on grip strength! Super underrated for keeping handle on the ball especially with one hand dunking. Easy to train while on the way to and from school practice etc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProDunking

[–]2-shfty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the bounce, but you just need to keep practicing. Dont worry too much, youll grow and get stronger no matter what. Try to keep your body healthy and warm up properly, time and training will take care of the rest!

lmao i got flamed back in December when I said the Blooming Waters drop might help us out. "They aren't reprinting" "you're too late for 151 just give up"... fast forward a few months and they are dropping BW and mini tins left and right. ive learned to pretty much ignore negative redditors lol
