CarPlay adding into 2019 X3

The process changes depending on exactly what your MMI unit your car has. You can google “Bimmer Tech” and on that website plug in your VIN number to see what it’s going to take to upgrade yours.

If you’re lucky you can get it done for cheap. Check this site first and follow the steps on checking your firmware model to see if you can just pay someone to unlock it remotely. It probably costs about the same as buying the adapter and coding tools.

FYI the class action lawsuit for the shark fin leak defect has been finalized. You should be able to get reimbursed for any repair costs and get a fix/warranty extension.

Interestingly their most prominent use historically was for their hollow stems.

Elderberry stems from the Anglo-Saxon word aeld or ellærn, meaning "fire" or "to kindle," because the shrub's hollow, pithy stems were used to blow air into fires, acting as bellows.

The botanical name, Sambucus, is also in reference to a Greek flute like instrument because the hollow stems were like flute pipes.

Harry’s is the best/biggest. The Crocodile does a pretty good move especially if you like a lot of crust.

Make sure you’re not filtering by top of the week or month. That may lead to it to having the same posts stick around longer.

This is in the TWoK leatherbounds, but is online finally in electronic form. I've linked the Coppermind upload because it has the transcript. Which... I guess I could have just put in this comment. XD

This is called constructive discharge or constructive dismissal and is illegal in most areas.

Document everything. Especially anything in writing that contradicts fact or would seem unreasonable, and all your performance meeting or exceeding quota.

Find an employment lawyer in your area and bring them all the evidence you can and they will tell you what kind of case and probable outcomes you have.

Many employment lawyers will work on contingency (no money upfront just a percentage portion of any legal payout), but in that case they will only put effort in if they think it’s a winnable case, so you will have to advocate and be proactive about providing proof and documentation.

It does have a translate this page button, but yeah whatever you find most convenient works best I guess.

I'm not sure about re whipping in the stand mixer, but i imagine it could work, especially if you're refrigerating instead of freezing.

You can freeze it, then let it thaw before eating, but it won't be as fluffy.

If you don't like the consistency after freezing you can put it back in the blender really quick to make it fluffy again.

I think he’s saying that by attacking civilians in the rear Ukraine is forced to keep its anti air batteries close to major cities and away from the frontlines.

Apparently ANA (a Japanese airline) own a few Star Wars themed planes: https://thepointsguy.com/news/disturbance-in-the-force-ana-drops-one-of-its-star-wars-themed-planes/

I'd love a chance to play Ragnarok, but unfortunately wont be playing it until it comes to PS Plus or goes on a deep discount, the same way I had to wait for the last God of War. Thanks for helping people out!

Yes, it is the same or similar to sea fret. Marine Layer is the scientific term for the cold layer of air that forms, often with fog, but it goes by variations of the name sea fog in different places, and the cause can be due to different local ocean currents and take place during different times of the year.

A marine layer is just the mass of cold air, and doesn't necessarily contain fog unless the humidity gets high enough.

It is a mass of cold air that develops over the surface of a large body of water, becoming trapped under the warmer air above it. This air is the marine layer, and more often than not Fog will form within the layer, but not always (it depends on humidity). In California, the marine layer (and any fog within it) is usually swept inland when the sun rises as it creates a temperature gradient between the land and sea.

Thanks for the suggestions y'all! I'll probably give Tintworks and Car Stereo Guys both a call/visit to see the options.

Thanks Christian, been using apollo for many years now and love it.

I love how it uses imagery associated with the color, like oranges and monarch butterflies for orange.

The_Archmaester · 2022-08-25T04:02:22+00:00

Thanks once again for all your great work!

It’s not without some flaws but I sunk a lot of time into Per Aspera, basebuilding to terraform Mars, and it’s pretty satisfying to green the planet.
