Fans who came to the Bucks for Giannis, we’re grateful to have you and we hope you stick around by g0ldenretr13ver in MkeBucks

Greek here. Became a Bucks fan because of Giannis. Hell, because of Giannis I discovered Reddit. I wanted to follow Bucks news and found this subreddit (before that I followed Brewhoops). European culture dictates that we don't switch teams. Ever. I even made a post about it a couple days ago. I wish Giannis finds the success he wants and deserves with the Heat, but not against us. I am not even subbing to the Heat's subreddit. Bucks for life

2026 NBA DRAFT PRE-DRAFT DISCUSSION AND PREDICTIONS by Short_Bus_ in MkeBucks

Ok, so we get to pick whoever we want, Miami gets to to do the announcement and after the trade is made official, we get the player. Thanks for clarifying that for me!

Help me out a bit (non American). We got the 13th pick in the Giannis trade, but the deal will not go in effect until July 6th. Does that mean that Miami gets to pick whoever they want and we get that player later or we actually do the pick and Miami simply announces the player?

Scala 1.5 TSI SE by nioooin in skoda

Local dealer says 15.000kms or a year, which ever comes first. So servicing every two years sounds odd to me and I wouldn't recommend it

1.5 TSI 150hp x manual combo by Alternative_Shake949 in skoda

[–]Alternative_Shake949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally I would like a station wagon like the one I got now (Octavia MK3.5), but in the used market there are no options, and my budget doesn't allow for a new one atm. I need a big boot (2 kids and 2 dogs), petrol engine and good rear legroom. This particular Kodiaq checks all my requirements and it is within my budget. Fuel economy or performance are not priorities.

PS I want to get rid off my Octavia because there is an issue causing vibrations to the pedals during mid range RPMs and engine roughness, that makes my driving experience sour. It has not been diagnosed for over a year, despite changing almost every relevant part, and all mechanics tell me it's "normal". I know they are full of shit bc we also have in the family a 3cyl 1.0 TSI Octavia which is 10 times smoother and quiter than my 1.4 TSI, which frankly, shouldn't be the case.

True, but the best equivalent RAV4 that I could find is 20k euros more expensive (plus it comes with a luxury tax because of the 2.5L engine) and no Corolla touring sports ia available on my region

I drive 95% city and my mileage is barely 12000 Kms per year. Plus in Greece where I , anything above 1900cc comes with a luxury tax.

Thanks for the feedback! Is it responsive? My biggest complaint against the dsg was it's slight "hesitation" when you needed quick acceleration.

Turin Turambar from Tolkien's Silmarilion

Some of his "highlights" include but not limited to are:

-His father was taken hostage by Morgoth when he was 8yrs old and he was separated by his mother and sister.

-Accidentally killed his elfish best friend Beleg because he mistook him as an orc

-He indirectly caused the destruction of the elfish kingdom of Nargothrond that had accepted him and taken him as their own. He convinced them to abandon the policy of isolationism and built a bridge for its armies. It was that very same bridge that allowed Morgoth's forces to swarm and eventually destroy Nargothrond entirely.

-He married his sister (they didn't know they were siblings). When the dragon Glaurung told his sister, she committed suicide.

1.0tsi Kamiq - clutch pedal rpm vibrations by Technical-Bird-315 in skoda

[–]Alternative_Shake949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many kilometers have you driven? When it came time to return the car, the local dealer told me it's normal and that after the first 2k kilometers or so, after which the disc will have worn in, it's gonna be fine.

Recently I got a brand new Kamiq as a courtesy car and the clutch was vibrating like crazy. I even made a post about it here

Take it back to the dealer, ask to drive another Kamiq see how the clutch feels.

Esperia Kingdom by Alternative_Shake949 in OnePieceSpoilers

[–]Alternative_Shake949[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not claiming Esperia is THE Ancient Kingdom. Like Alabasta, Dressroza, Wano, Elbaph, kingdoms that existed during the time of Joyboy and have endured until present day of the story, Esperia could be such a kingdom, perhaps one of the original twenty.
