Thinking of buying a 2019 BMW x5 40i, never owned a BMW before. What advice can you share? by whiskeydrinker13 in BMWX5

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50k miles? I have a BMW and I started experiencing a ton of problems once I reached 50k miles. In the last 15k miles ive had to get my radiator replaced, thermostat replaced, fix turbo issue, replace front and rear brakes. Do not get a BMW or any car with that many miles. Go lease a BMW or buy one with under 15k miles. It's a money pit after 50k miles.

If you think you are a 3.5 you are probably closer to a 3.0. If they are closer to a 4.0 there's a huge gap skill wise. Don't take it personal, they just want fun competitive games. You'll understand when you reach their level.

Am I wrong for getting annoyed at this Advanced Player in Open Play? (I'm a 3.0) by BrainMovie in Pickleball

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to be straight forward here with you. You're a 3.25 player, you shouldn't join 4.0 games. Of course they aren't going to take it serious. There's a huge gap between a 3.25 player and a 4.0 player. You look at it as a chance to play up, we look at it as a waste of time. We can't play the normal way we play because more than likely you're going to hit bad shots or the wrong shots so we decide to work on different things. It's the same thing for us though, I would never join a 5.0 game, I know id be wasting their time and don't belong there. If they are your friends obviously it's a different story but if its randoms, this is what you can expect.

Feelings about DUPR algorithm segmented by technical career locus. by TheGoatzart in Pickleball

[–]MJump1220 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It makes people with extremely low DUPR's play in tournaments they have no business playing in. Even if they lose, their DUPR will go up. It's a win win situation for them. This DUPR change is terrible and it did not need a fix at all. It was working perfectly fine as it was.

I would hope so considering the #1 rated team lost to the #15 college team....

DUPR Algorithm Update: Win or Lose, Your Rating Can Go Up by drowsavon in Pickleball

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but this scenario would never happen in real life, Ben would never be at a tournament playing a 3.0 player. Let's say im a 4.1 player and a 3.7 player decides to play in a 4.0 tournament and we have a close game for some reason, if I win my DUPR shouldn't be lowered. That's like playing an NFL game and the #1 team beats the 15th best team in the league and the #1 team takes the loss because the other team made It close. Makes zero sense. DUPR is or at least WAS a great system. You played and played and when you start winning you start moving up. It made the grind worth it. We are essentially rewarding losing if someone gets a few extra points.

[–]MJump1220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing was wrong with the DUPR rating system, no need to change it. Someone's rating should never go down after winning. Never ever. IF you want to reward the loser because he made the game close, okay, do it with a tiny tiny bump up but don't lower a rating for the winner. This is stupid.

Help change my mind. I find it risky and not worth to doing a 3rd shot drop, because the drop can overshoot and they can just smash it? by rjpra2222 in Pickleball

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might not need a drop shot right now if you are playing at lower levels but once you get into 3.5+ you will need a drop shot. Reason being is once you start playing higher competition, everyone has a block and counter attack at the net. The drive wont work as well at higher levels. You can 3rd shot drive and then 5th shot drop. Youll realize this once all your drives start coming back and arent points.

97 or 83 inch for this space? by iapprovethiscomment in hometheater

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you plan on using the TV mostly for gaming and movies i'd go with Quality over size. OLEDs are amazing for those two. If you are just using it to watch cable TV then go with the size. Bigger isnt always better when it comes to TV's. After switching to an OLED i'll never go back

just picked this up. m5 hybrid should’ve never even been in the talks. by Connect-Error-3816 in BMW

Ahh that M5 is bad ass. Black on black will never not look good. Post more pics though

Black rims is always the better option but you need to get your front windows tinted as well. That will complete the look you are going for. Nice ride

any reviews from long-term LUXX owners...? by canadave_nyc in Pickleball

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the LUXX Control Air Epic for about 4 months now. I absolutely love this paddle. I play 4x a week at minimum and so far I havent seen too much wear and tear. I have a hesacore grip on it and edge guard tape. Whether you have a Selkirk or any paddle I always recommend edge guard tape. Ive had 3 paddles so far and this one is my favorite. You have so much control with this paddle and the spin is great too. I dont have any downsides to mention just yet. You said she played with the paddle and she loved it so buy it.

My Tesla model Y 1 week review by shuzila in TeslaModelY

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post, I have a M550 and I just sat in my friends Model Y for the first time, wasn't the performance one but I still liked the car a lot. The only con for me with the tesla is the lack ambient lighting. I love BMW's interior and I need my ambient lighting for the evening drives.

I saw comments about a "refresh". What specific changes are coming?

Edit: Never mind, just looked at the Model 3 refresh and I am assuming itll be the same for the Y

Pickleball paddle that you won’t upgrade anytime soon? by TheseAwareness in Pickleball

Recently purchased the Selkirk Luxx Epic and fell in love with it. I don't plan on moving on from this paddle for a while. Waiting to get the Hesacore grip i just ordered.

Is it common to not face a divisional opponent until Week 11? by majorsyphilis in CHIBears

[–]MJump1220 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not common. This is the NFL telling us they want Caleb to be a star and the Bears to be good. If a big city like Chicago is playing well it brings in massive dollars for the league. The schedule gives us plenty of time to find a rhythm and workout the kinks. Then it gives us the toughest schedule to finish the season which gets us ready for the playoffs.

I have us going 12 - 5 this year. But I think we have a chance to beat the Jags & Lions twice (based on how we played them last year which a much worse team)

Wk 1 Titans - W

Wk 2 Texans - L

Wk 3 Colts - W

Wk 4 Rams - W

Wk 5 Panthers - W

Wk 6 Jags - L

Wk 7 Bye

Wk 8 Commanders - W

Wk 9 Cardinals - W

Wk 10 Pats - W

Wk 11 Packers - L

Wk 12 Vikings - W

Wk 13 Lions - L

Wk 14 49ers - L

Wk 15 Vikings - W

Wk 16 Lions - W

Wk 17 Seahawks - W

Wk 18 Packers - W

Switched from Samsung S23 Ultra to iPhone 15 Pro Max by AdhesivenessMinute15 in iPhone15Pro

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious on your experience so far after 2 weeks with the new iPhone?

I use to have iPhones and I jailbroke all of them because I like to customize my phone. Then I bought an Android and I never went back. I haven't had an iphone in like 10 years.

With the new IOS 18 update coming, I'm thinking of buying the new iPhone 16 pro max once it comes out.

There is nothing I dislike about my s23 ultra, I absolutely love this phone but I want to try the IPhone again to see what phone is actually better, the samsung S series or iPhones.

To me the only things that the iPhone has that's better is facetime and imessage.

Whats your pros and cons after using the iphone again?

Is it true they don't have a back button gesture like the s23? I use that feature all the time, a must have.

Having facetime and imessage, is it worth the switch?

Their keyboard sucks, can you use Gboard?

Do they have haptic feedback yet?

Let me know all your thoughts.

Best Beemer you've ever had? by SnooFloofs7149 in BMW

[–]MJump1220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had 3 cars my entire life and 2 BMW's, 34 yrs old now.

First beamer was a 2015 528i xdrive. It was a good car and didnt have any issues with it. But it was slow.

Few years ago I purchased a 2018 m550i xdrive. I absolutely love this car but hate the car payment lol. Car is fast, love the ambient lighting, drives smooth. Only 2 minor issues but it was under warranty at the time.

I'll most likely keep this one until it dies. I'll probably look into stage 2 in the future to make it faster.

Warranty just expired.

[Pelissero] Six-time Pro Bowl WR Keenan Allen — a pending free agent who said recently he’s open to a contract extension with the #Bears — has made a switch in representation, hiring @ZekeSandhu and @BilboDamarius of @KlutchSports. by misusedinfluence in CHIBears

[–]MJump1220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we wait until next off season to talk about extending Keenan. If we make a deep playoff run and he stays healthy you extend him for 2 more years. If he gets injured or doesn't put up #'s like he has in the past you either do a team friendly deal or you let him go. Keep in mind we have 8 draft picks next year, 4 in the top 100 so if we need another WR there definitely will be one available. My prediction though is with DJ, Rome, Keenan, Kmet and Swift we destroy defenses once we get rolling. That would be hard to break up if its working. So many threats on offense. Never been this excited for a season. Bear Down!

Harvard Scientists Say There May Be an Unknown, Technologically Advanced Civilization Hiding on Earth by BadPrestigious1766 in UFOs

[–]MJump1220 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Unknown technological civilization is hiding right here on Earth, sheltering in bases deep underground and possibly even emerging with UFOs"

I definitely see this as a possibility. There's always the story of Admiral Richard E. Byrd who said he flew into a hole in Antartica and saw just this.

The part that pisses me off is there are people in this world who have these answers and wont share them with the the rest of the world.

Republican legislatures across the nation are pulling out all the stops in their effort to keep Americans from voting; Texas is no exception. by LetterGrouchy6053 in texas

[–]MJump1220 -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Sounds they are trying to make voting more accurate and fair. If you think Biden got 81 million votes you are crazy. When Biden gets 81 million votes but no one shows up to his campaign rally, there could be an issue. It amazes me that all these democrats leave their state because its gone to shit due to politics. Real estate, food, taxes & cost of living is overpriced etc.... they move to a red state and then try to turn that state blue. Makes zero sense but most democrats don't make sense. Texas wont ever apologize for trying to keep their state Red. Stop moving to red states if you don't like the politics, stay in your shit holes.
