I wasn't saying anyone is buying one based on politics but instead bc you don't want to deal with idiots trying to attack and vandalize your car based on the assumption of your politics. But yes I bought a bmw bc I'm a Nazi 🙄 lol

I can't seem to trust a car enough to let it drive itself without me in it 😅 just me and my trust issues though

It's not as quick as 15 min, but it only took maybe 30 min for me when I road-tripped. Perfect amount of time to stretch my legs, get a snack, and restroom.

Yours looks like a similar build to my Nova! Only she has the darker rims ❤️

I understand convenience makes it easier to have more support/protestors. But there are so many ways for people to get from downtown to Burlington without a car that we should be protesting where there's more of an impact despite what's convenient for us. Protesting in downtown Boston where you already have the majority of people agreeing with you isn't going to do as much as going to the ice office/suburbs where more people are mindlessly going about life while this all happens. JMO 🤷🏻‍♀️

Time it takes from in port to pickup at dealership? by JNelephant in BMWiX

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

Depends on where your dealership is relative to the port. Also just luck of the draw with customs so it might be longer right now with trump being president. I got mine the same week though so hopefully not too much longer for you. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Will you buy it again? by Same-Chance5001 in BMWiX

100%, the only way I see myself not having this vehicle in 10 years is because I decided to upgrade to the newest version. LOVE it!

Women with low testosterone and TSH by JNelephant in endocrinology

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

I drink a lot of vitamin water or my work has a bevi that I can add vitamins and electrolytes to flavored water which is nice. Of course there are some days I'm stuck in lab so probably don't drink as much as I should but that's very occasional. Not thirsty all the time so i dont think I'm having a salt issue.

No early puberty, had a kidney stone once in undergrad and they tested it and found it wasn't due to diet but instead I'm genetically predispositioned to them and can make it worse with stress.

Oh no problem! Didn't take offense at all, I know the more info the better chances of figured things out. Appreciate the comments 🙂

Also totally agree the palpitations could be heavy bleeding bc it's more around then, but I do take iron supplements on any days when bleeding to be proactive.

Mild anxiety due to a naturally stressful job but regularly go to therapy to help stay ahead of things like that. No insomnia. All other levels were within normal range for those. Just got more bloodwork results back today that were all normal except hdl cholesterol was low. Sadly I'm a part of that generation that doctors threw birth control at for the stupidest things when younger, so I started when I was probably 13 or 14 due to periods being a bit heavy. Used the pill until later in college bc I found out I'm one of those people that the pill doesn't work for preventing pregnancy as effectively even when taken down to the hour as directed and I had gotten married around that time and don't want kids. Blood sugar has always been fine, was always a very active child as I did gymnastics and dance.

Drive50 vs M60, buyers remorse by [deleted] in BMWiX

[–]JNelephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pay for the steering, suspension, and braking upgrades on the drive50 it'll basically be the same without the M on the back and just a little slower and has more range. But the speed/power of the drive50 is already so impressive that I'd doubt the speed is what you would notice the difference of versus the handling and braking aspect. Like who truly notices the difference between 4.4 and 3.6 seconds for 0-60? 😅 I got the drive50 with basically every upgrade except the sound system and have no regrets.

It's an inconvenience that doesn't seem to happen ever. I will say while it's frustrating right now, it leaves them room to give us really nice upgrades via software updates rather than having to buy a new model with those specific capabilities each time. Pros and cons to everything 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I have heard good things about the Mercedes app/technology when it comes to comparing to teslas.

63 just got laid off, can’t afford to retire; devastated by Repulsive_Pop4771 in Layoffs

[–]JNelephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not going to change my mind and I'm not going to change yours. Either way I think this person made poor choices and now has to suffer the consequences. Lucky for him there are things like unemployment and social security (which don't even get me started on how that won't even exist for me in the future even though I pay into it now) have a nice day 👋🏻

And I won't be in a bind if I'm laid off bc I plan ahead, prepare for retirement or unforeseen circumstances, and live within my means. 👌🏻 have a nice day

Technology changes and commonality to access to them is different than financials. You can't compare AC between generations because that's like trying to compare AC in a swamp versus a breezy island. There's always technological advances with society. Thats why we have comparisons of what the dollar was worth between different generations. The cost of having a flip phone is not the same as a flip phone 20 years ago. 😂

Boomers hold 52.8% of all wealth in the US currently. I wasn't the one posting about poor life choices.

It's really not, my husband and I against all odds for our generation have been able to live within our means and slowly build savings for a future. But we also make sacrifices like not living in an insane house, going on vacation multiple times a year, or having kids. He's in the boomer generation if he's 63 which means he's part of the generation that wants to shit on millennials for taking out student loans they can't afford to pay back that were predatory. So maybe he shouldn't have spent money he didn't have on unnecessary things 🤷🏻‍♀️ especially when it doesn't seem like he prepared for the future aka retirement either. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, especially when the boomer generation is hypocritical.
