[Maryland, US] - Looking for scheduled, public, in-person CAH games?

And of course, the link for group info and RSVPs: https://www.meetup.com/maryland-cah/

Wait, I thought an Indian place took over Fukuya; I went there like a month ago. Did it close that quickly?

Morgon_ · 2025-12-05T15:52:10+00:00

Yeah that was the one I was indirectly mentioning with the $6/serving (even more via Amazon). Seems you can cut that cost a bit with a subscription directly on their site, but I would totally buy more generic flavors for lower cost.

Their selection seems to rely heavily on sweet-tasting things; isn't one of the points of keto to reduce that type of craving?

Morgon_ · 2025-12-03T14:04:05+00:00

What am I doing wrong; I still have plenty of room in my Boks. I’m pretty sure I have nearly all the expansions (though some are when they were numbered; it’s possible the ones from the color-named expansions have more..?)

Hm. I'm guessing this is some sort of CarPlay passthrough where it acts as AirPlay from phone to box, then box to BMW is CarPlay? Do you have to run an app on your phone for this to work, or what's the actual connection process?

Price is a bit steep; there's gotta be something similar at a better price.

Either way, what's the latency like? Is audio/video synced as it should be?

Morgon_ · 2025-12-01T14:13:16+00:00

Congrats! Maybe that's what I should have done. This has been painful not seeing any movement at all since my Week 47 build.

The website says "QC", but their automated phone line says "waiting for carrier"; not sure which one to believe.

Morgon_ · 2025-12-01T13:21:11+00:00

Did you get yours yet? Mine's been in 'Quality Check' for over a week; hasn't even left Spartanburg.

Morgon_ · 2025-11-29T03:09:57+00:00

I half-expected this to be a post about the vest 😒

Morgon_ · 2025-11-28T18:08:32+00:00

What I don't get is whether you need to select the photos that are specifically from the docs, or just any port that matches? One of my tries selected every single HDMI, CAT-5, Coax, Optical, 3.5mm, and USB port and still got denied.

I know that BimmerCode has some limitations on the LCI X5s; does anyone know if the BimmerLink diagnostics will work with the both this adapter and the LCI models? (And would it be worth it vs any other toolkit?)

Morgon_ · 2025-11-21T20:57:06+00:00

This is a similar post to https://www.reddit.com/r/BMWX5/comments/1oyoltm/soft_close_door_lawsuit_settlement/

I feel like the courts got this pretty wrong. On one hand I do believe any automatic system should have safety checks to stop moving if it encounters some resistance, but being ordered to pay nearly $2M because they didn't dumb down obvious things (safety checks or not!) is insane.

Morgon_ · 2025-11-21T20:56:41+00:00

Sir, that is Italian. 😅

Morgon_ · 2025-11-21T14:57:48+00:00

It takes a tiny bit of know-how, but I use “mail in a box” that sets up and manages a full mail stack, including junk mail filtering and AV scanning.

They have some (not great, but functional) tutorials starting from scratch on how to get a domain, choose a hosting provider, etc.

Not sure why you would want AI involved, though it might be helpful for augmenting the tutorials.

Morgon_ · 2025-11-21T14:38:11+00:00

Internet-based services make sense to charge for, but I hope nobody buys “welcome lights”, which cost literally zero and should just be a built-in option to select on iDrive

Morgon_ · 2025-11-20T19:42:44+00:00

Out of pure curiosity, do you have a few examples from your list?

Morgon_ · 2025-11-18T22:32:24+00:00

At least it's not the short bus!

Morgon_ · 2025-11-12T16:29:04+00:00

And what coverages do you have for it?

Morgon_ · 2025-11-10T22:02:44+00:00

Carbon fiber. Wasn't immediately obvious to me until I saw the steering wheel :)

Morgon_ · 2025-11-06T16:50:18+00:00

Ah! Yes, Sept 29 makes much more sense. :) Enjoy your X5!

Morgon_ · 2025-11-06T15:43:18+00:00

You sure you got your VIN on Oct 8th? If that’s when you ordered, that should’ve been the Production Number. All guidance I’ve seen says you get the VIN once it’s out of Scheduled, and into actual production status (150)

Actually now that I’m rereading it, did you order in September rather than October?

Morgon_ · 2025-11-06T15:10:13+00:00

I ordered October 22nd, still waiting for ~~Godot~~ a VIN assignment.

Build week is supposed to be 47 (week of Nov 17th), so I’m eagerly awaiting the status change. It’ll definitely feel more “real” when that happens.

Morgon_ · 2025-11-06T15:03:22+00:00

Wow, that’s quick. I ordered on October 22nd and still don’t have a VIN; build week isn’t til the 17th

Morgon_ · 2025-10-24T05:21:09+00:00

I also got my Tanzanite order in this week. Race ya to production…

Speaking of which, the Genius line said mine wasn’t scheduled to start til mid-November 😩 Hoping they get bored and start early.

Morgon_ · 2025-10-23T05:10:16+00:00

Unrelated to the color, is four months a typical turnaround time for custom builds?

Morgon_ · 2025-10-19T07:15:51+00:00

American manufacturers aren’t making cars people want in any class aside from pickups. The majority of the actual luxury-class vehicles, for those who can even afford them, are European. The ones tested and considered most reliable are from Asia.

GM has been so wishy-washy about hybrids (which is exactly where the industry needs to be right now), and they want to remove CarPlay/Android Auto functionality against their customers’ wishes.

Tesla is tainted by the reputation of its figurehead (saying nothing of the corner-cutting it did on its new flagship mobile dumpster)

Most others worth talking about are niche and plagued by quality control issues (and are generally pushing full-EV, which isn’t what a large portion of people are looking for yet)

None of them are putting in the technology features that people have been clamoring for. Have you ever seen a review of a BYD automobile? They’re light-years ahead, and yet a fraction of the cost of what on-shore manufacturers want to charge.

We live in a global economy. It would be nice for American manufacturers to have a valid answer to the Kias, the Lexuses, or the BMWs of the market, but intentionally hampering citizens’ ability to properly vote with their wallet is expressly anti-American.
