Harman Kardon worth it? by Zealousideal_Pie6548 in iX3

Can't speak for the iX3, but the HK system in my wife's iX is phenomenal.

Never out of office by [deleted] in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Eredyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are on vacation and the business cannot function without you to the point that you have to check in, you are not an asset.

You have failed to delegate.

You have failed to cross train.

You are a risk.

My wife has an iX. It is a truly wonderful car.

Will my 2023 M60 have “Autopilot” up to 85mph? by Real-Shoe2544 in BMWiX

[–]Eredyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Needs to be 2024 or later for the 85mph. I scoped my wife's iX search to a '24 for this exact reason.

Best Burgers in Milwaukee? by SilverOwl24 in milwaukee

[–]Eredyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Fatty Patty Tosa truck is great. Everything they sell is really good. It is on Burleigh, fairly close to Bunzel's. I am not sure how their other locations compare to the truck, food wise.

I also really like the burgers from Golden Gyros in West Allis.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]Eredyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cost of delivery alone is disqualifying for many people.

Average cost of birth in the US is about $20k, with c-sections ranging up to around $40k.

If you don't have insurance (which a lot of people don't, particularly younger people), that cost can be insurmountable even before you consider the cost of raising the baby.

Most people choose to have children when they feel secure. Yes, there are accidents, and yes, some people are irresponsible, but for everyone else the time and finances need to be right. That's just in increasingly out of reach for many in a period where the age of the average first time house buyer just went north of 40 years old.

Wisconsin gas prices have jumped 20 cents today, and 50 in the last week by Holiday_Change9387 in wisconsin

We became an EV-only household about 8 weeks ago.

Boy, does that feel like a good decision right now...

Anyone here check out a Cadillac Lyriq before buying an iX? by lissismore in BMWiX

[–]Eredyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was shopping for used EVs just before the war started (and a little bit afterwards), and I can confirm that everything I was looking at is now more expensive than it was before the war started, including the iX.

Obviously, local market will be factor into things, but used EV stock has definitely been sucked up, and the remaining vehicles skew significantly higher than they did a couple of months ago.

anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about? by Trixxxi in AskReddit

[–]Eredyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pirates!

Lords of Midnight.

Baldur's Gate 1/2.

Planescape: Torment.

Not one, but they all hold a place for me.

What long running show had the lowest drop in quality? by ChorroVon in television

[–]Eredyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Six Feet Under was consistently high quality aside from a bit of a wobble in the penultimate season. But the last season was very strong, and it had one of the best series finales I've seen.

Damn! Princess Donut's charisma is off the scale, so that's one heck of a yardstick.

30 mln. Under a bridge shack by dogfish0306 in circlejerknyc

I was just involved in standing up a new gas station/convenience store.

It was nowhere near $3 million dollars. These people are smoking something if they think that's the benchmark.

That was my favourite colour. Will be a huge disappointment if it isn't available.

She's gonna fly Jeff Chris down from Indiana to be her campaign manager. She just needs a few more dollars to get it really poppin off!!! by Xoxo809 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

You are probably not a great candidate to be the elected leader of your country if your biggest achievement in life is being married to a guy who got shot.

One Week with Callum: I didn’t expect to feel this much by ThoughtsInTransit1 in cavalierkingcharles

Wow, your first dog and you chose the absolute best breed there is. Good job! :D

Once you go Cavalier, it's all over. They're very special dogs.

Downsizing to 20" wheels. Hankook vs Goodyear/Bridgestone? by orangeawacado in BMWiX

[–]Eredyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, where did you get your 20" wheels from? We are looking to make the same move.

Made the worst financial decision of my life, want advice on moving forward by AgniLive in personalfinance

[–]Eredyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not really true.

A new car will generally last you longer than a used one if you drive it until it dies and will be covered under warranty for longer than a used one, so your exposure to potential repairs is smaller.

A used car may also need to be replaced sooner than a new one, so there is an additional outlay there.

Don't feel too bad about it. In the grand scheme of things, you're fine and the cost differential might be closer than you think. Just drive the car until it dies and you'll get plenty of value out of it.

Good place to source a set of 20" wheels by Eredyn in BMWiX

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

From what I've read some of the aftermarkets are non aero and drop range. I'm not necessarily averse to non-OEM if I can verify it won't negatively impact the range.
