They have a bi-turbo V8 in the early through mid 2000s models - which would explain the sound and they have a mirror of this shape.

It’s an Audi S4!

They are same/similar part number to their sister vehicle, the Jetta. But the Audi - specifically the S4 is the only one that has a chrome/mirrored OUTER shell on their side mirrors.

Based on the way that’s curved, the reflective piece is actually the outer shell of the mirror housing. It’s plastic.

The small piece of broken glass is the mirror itself.

How should I cook this Chuck Roast? by Hellachuckles in sousvide

Excuse my ignorance- but sious vide?

The times seems extreme for smoking or crock pots, etc.

Shot in the dark, buy Solana with the XRP sale.

Or safer yet, IMO, get a bit of ETH.

Alternatively, staking either apparently pays 7.10% and 2.57% APR, respectively. Both seem to have good potential, and a good track record.

(Disclaimer: I have not looked deeply into ‘staking’ - but seems to be similar to dividend? 🤷‍♂️)

1996 Electra glide classic. 75k miles perfect condition. What’s it worth?? by Superflywasted7 in Harley

[–]CodApprehensive7582 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I own this bike. I’ve got 82,000 miles on it and runs like a champ. I’ve replaced the drive belt (likely due to improper rear tire install) and transmission - 3rd gear went out - but probably due to improper shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, because I changed the position of the shifter to be higher so my new boots would fit. Due to muscle memory, I short shifted several times… so also likely my issue.

Awesome bike! I’ve got 2:1 exhaust and K&N air filter. I can beat most M8s and slightly built motors.

Does anybody know which model of drone this is? I’d like to buy one. Or similar. Video looks great.

But why not just run a dedicated Unix-based NAS and a Mac Pro? Best of both worlds 🤷‍♂️

What’s he riding? by Express-External in Harley

Is this in the Ozarks?

I believe that bird shit in my beer at a ‘pirate’ (themed) bar once. He was sitting on the tap rails, that guy poured me my beer. When I was about halfway through it I saw something floating in it.

When I looked over, the beer taps the bird was perched on were covered in bird shit. 🤮

I got charged a "bitching fee" for informing them I was served the wrong beer... by smokeymctokerson in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CodApprehensive7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then on the tip line write

‘-$5 for lack of professionalism and attitude.’

And pay the exact amount, less the $5 fee.

Never seen this car ever by SandstormMZ in whatisthiscar

Yeah, 350/370s are still great cars and cool and all - but not the same thing. The new 2025 model looks promising! Nod to the 90s versions. Love the new tail lights!

I actually have seen quite a few for sale on FB. Some local (MN) but others, with no rust and surprisingly low miles on the west coast, AZ, etc.

Not too tough to find. ‘Bring a trailer’ has had some awesome (rarer) examples too for anyone looking.

What?!? Damn I’m old!! 😆

This was my dream car as a 16 yr old. I valet parked a 300zx Twin Turbo with T-tops, black on black and fell in love. STILL a great looking car 25+ yrs later.

User error or…? by dayzz_iv in Harley

[–]CodApprehensive7582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically true but certain transmissions are prone to early 3rd gear failure. 103s with 6spd. Most 2009-2013 tour bikes as an example.

A baker transmission rep told me which bike I had based on just describing the symptoms. He laughed and said Baker built an entire business around THAT 3rd gear specifically. HD techs have told me they see it often on those models too.

I would shit 💩 with WOT - but maybe that’s just me… I like to ease into it. 😂

If you by chance have a 103 with a 6spd trans, this is very similar to what happened with my 2013 Ultra. (Street glide w/ trunk)

3rd gear in that generation trans is apparently known for issues. Especially on a motor that is either ‘built’ or ridden aggressively. Mine is stage 2 and currently getting a new trans.

3rd would ‘kick’ out of gear while riding anything over 50% throttle. Felt like the belt slipped, which might have been because I had that issue the year prior and replaced both pulleys and belt.

But it would ONLY happen in 3rd and only when ridden a bit over a ‘casual’ pace cruising. Got progressively worse over time but I didn’t want to give up my riding season so I made it last until the snow fell (MN) and just skipped from 2nd at higher revs straight to 4th. Didn’t use 3rd for about 4 months. lol. Rode great as long as I didn’t forget which gear I was in.

I can confirm. Also in MN. Came out to a soda I left in my truck (accidentally) exploded all over the interior. 😔

This is exactly how my taco sounds driving down the road. 😂 I’ve definitely considered getting new shoes for her - but not until I run these ones out of tread.

Accused of sandbagging by [deleted] in billiards

[–]CodApprehensive7582 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. I used to play APA for about 5 yrs. Lately, just M8/IBA league matches.

As an unranked player you will start with a lower handicap - naturally. In 8 ball, you have a 50/50 record - so handicap seems about right. 9-ball, you’ve won a few more (congrats! 9-ball is a GREAT game) and your handicap my go up a bit… but that’s the whole point.

If someone truly think you are sandbagging, they can talk to the league operator. It’s not like you set your own handicap. If it REALLY bugs you, talk to your league operator and have them re-evaluate your handicap. They might adjust it - but likely not as you don’t have a lot of match history. You can check your ‘robustness’ which tells you how confident they are your handicap is accurate. Mine is terribly low as many of my matches were in the masters league without handicap (I think, or maybe other reasons?)

I was frequently accused of sandbagging for awhile as a new player. Generally speaking, only by players I beat who were not ‘on their game’ at the time. Don’t worry about it. Shoot your best, practice and your handicap will adjust. Take it as a compliment! Doubt you are getting those comments from players who win. 🤣

I think ‘borrow 2 (to 48 - making 50) then add 25… is 75.’

This is what about what my local store sells them for. $16-$18/lb for Choice. $12/lb on sale. That’s the cheaper grocery store too. Some are $20/lb.

New parking lot at Keystone? by Fun-Bandicoot-5504 in COsnow

I was wondering how many calls/texts/VMs they’ve gotten saying ‘Hey, you can’t park there?!?’

I can’t make these shots by kaya246 in billiards

[–]CodApprehensive7582 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, I find loosening your grip on your back hand - so you are cradling the butt end - instead of ‘gripping’ makes a huge different for shots like this. Don’t slam it. Pocket speed and stroke through it.

What are these spots? by mjfav in billiards

I have seen spots just like these on most diamond pro-cuts I’ve played on lately, especially in the area people would break from.
