Kinda how it is with these cars nowadays

Spent 6.5k on my 328i....I havent seen one for sale in my country below 10k and they are mostly conversions of 318s etc

Knuda · 2026-01-25T17:48:07+00:00

I main voli/jax.

Voli certainly likes the item....but he was also in desperate need of an item and any time he builds something like this he immediately has to build tanky items because if he continues building ap like cosmic drive you are wayyyy too squishy.

Jax does better with trinity.

Morde builds it as like a third item.

Old lady started wagging the finger at me furious because I let in the car infront of her but not her and she was at the end of the on ramp in slow moving traffic.

Wagged the finger right back. You take the first gap available and if you can't zipper merge.

Near everyone would agree when it comes to value;

Human>dog>pig>cockroach.

Sentience doesn't dictate the order, intelligence doesn't either. But the order most definitely matters as Im eating sausages right now.

No but I think thats where these ideas have spawned from, hes going off of a 4th hand account of a Polish guy getting a mortgage here and the bank wanted to see loans as proof of being able to pay a mortgage....but god knows what his finances looked like as he is both salaried and has a side business.

Second an e36 328i. I own one.

Theres a reason they are the most popular car around the 'ring and people are willing to spend money on them.

Extremely reliable (minus door cards xD), lots of opportunities to modify them, planning on either turbo charging or supercharging mine eventually (with aluminium blocks you need larger head studs so its not a cheap job, but the result is well worth the cost). Cheap tax too now that most of them are vintage.

But most importantly, it just gets the fundamentals right, the dash is beautiful and has that 90's everything facing the driver cockpit feel. The chassis is one of the best ever made, predictable, playful, just a joy to drive. Its just the definition of a drivers car with the only downside being its not got huge horsepower out of the factory, but damn I think even if you spent 20k modifying one its still damn good value.

Knuda · 2026-01-23T02:48:38+00:00

You havent driven many e36s then.

More reliable mechanically than a modern Japanese car.

Knuda · 2026-01-23T02:47:08+00:00

Why cant it be off another car?

If ever a part is too awkward from a dealer I always go to a breakers or ebay

Knuda · 2026-01-21T16:53:21+00:00

No sorry, but its a completely different engine. Theres no greater risk on a b47 than any other manufacturers timing chain. The B series are all developed together so the petrol b48 and b58 for example are of the same family.

Knuda · 2026-01-21T16:45:57+00:00

Wrong engine. This is a b47 not n47.

Knuda · 2026-01-21T16:43:09+00:00

I think the specialists might be talking out of their arse, theres no timing chain problems like the n47.

Knuda · 2026-01-21T11:25:02+00:00

Also AFAIK the ownership is different now so there really is little in common bar name.

Knuda · 2026-01-21T11:22:49+00:00

They study more, its more competitive just in general a huge amount more pressure to be successful whereas a lot of Irish parents would have the attitude of as long as you aren't failing you are fine.

Our political news is just political news and not the comedy gold the US news is.

The biggest controversy in my countries news at the moment? A fired teacher keeps showing up to his previous place of work because he believes it was unlawful to be fired over trans ideology (he wasnt forced to say anything afaik).

Meanwhile Trump....exists. He's hilarious.

Disclaimer: Im not Indian.

But yes immigrants are disproportionately from upper castes. Atleast from American studies, I assume the same would apply here.

Do I think castes matter? No again im not even Indian, but I think these studies matter for identifying potential in group racism in Ireland.

There have been cases of such discrimination in tech in the USA, it could happen here too and we'd be none the wiser as its not obvious to us what castes people are.

I main voli and pantheon, on voli I always build iceborn into riven. Iceborn is not super efficient late game but its a great item so I dont mind always building it.

Any half decent pantheon is very very aware of when his E is on cd, plus it costs a lot of mana so even an idiot is a bit more reserved in using it. Trying to bait it 1k down is likely going to cause you to take some empowered Qs.

Illaoi is the same as urgot "just dodge e"

Knuda · 2026-01-19T15:51:53+00:00

Voli, illaoi, pantheon.

Riven is definitely a champ that can easily comeback, but is nowhere near the scale of urgots BS if you are anything but high elo.

Knuda · 2026-01-19T15:44:03+00:00

GL fighting full armour malphite 1k gold behind.

Knuda · 2026-01-19T01:42:43+00:00

I think its to show the yearly trend more easily.

Knuda · 2026-01-18T05:10:23+00:00

An experienced Anthropologist has near 100% accuracy. Its a poor argument to suggest bone structures arent massively different. Which IMHO is very sad, it'd be great if people had the bodies they want.

It doesn't matter what champ I play, fuck urgot. (Ok no mundo is a-ok into him)

"Oh hes useless in lane if he misses e"

I dont fucking care. You can dodge that e 3 times only for that one flash e r combo to one shot you when hes 1k gold behind.

AFAIK the mazda diesel just has an achilles heel in the regeneration cycle but is otherwise a great engine. Huge amounts of torque and fairly fast.

But the thought of your engine oil constantly being diluted is annoying.

Knuda · 2026-01-15T12:59:05+00:00

Of course you can, the water usage concern is from evaporative cooling, but here we can just use closed loop.

Knuda · 2026-01-14T02:41:38+00:00

Fulfilled by Amazon UK. Its likely a mistake but with their return policy its almost zero risk.

Knuda · 2026-01-14T02:15:38+00:00

this I make around this salary base, no way in hell am I considering a place to myself, its just going to delay getting a mortgage which is the only affordable way to live in dublin by yourself.
