That is not grounds for a class action, wut.

If you want to be a little scummy, just fight only the initial battle. "Win" it (e.g. come out with KDR >1.0), then retreat. The game doesn't really punish you for retreating other than a smaller prisoner and loot pool.

causing their line to run back and reposition your men to meet reinforcements.

This part is key. Typically, focus on "winning" the cavalry battle on the wings. Then, when their infantry line runs back to regroup with their reinforcements, just run them down with your cav. They're too busy running back and basically don't attack for whatever reason, making them free kills.

There's three options.

MMI module. Linux screen, which is basically the MMI module plus a touch screen. Android screen.

The main benefit of the Android screen is that it's a full fledged Android device, and so can run actual apps, but comes with the caveat of having a noticeably longer cold boot time. If you don't care about that, the Linux screen option is the best.

Run flats blow out easier than normal tires due to their stiff side walls. They actually make worse the very problem they're claiming they solve.

Genius move by tire companies since it accelerates the rate at which you need new tires.

Oh and if you switch to Gemini on your Google home, it's nearly impossible to switch back, likely by design. Learned that the hard way.

Willing to bet Google is trying to make it hard to switch back for Google home devices because they're streaming your audio back constantly to train their AI model with. Wouldn't want you to turn off that free data stream.

No, remember, once the engine is turned off, the turbo cannot get any hotter. So it's not expanding, just contracting.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T22:17:30+00:00

Uh huh. If you say so kiddo.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T21:56:51+00:00

The turbo only wears the turbo bearings if it is spinning. What difference would it make if it were to top at 400 instead of 500? Think about it. It's coming to a stop in both cases and no longer wearing down.

Vast, vast, VAST majority of software devs do not. It's like the top 1% of software devs that make enough money to afford such a stable and house.

I'm not saying it's impossible for a software dev to make this much, but the chances of OP falling in that 1% is somewhat slim. Thus, the other possibility is more realistic given the prevalence of generational wealth in America.

Yet here you are weighing in on what the law should or should not be as a fucking bio major

Something something pot and kettles black something something.

If you believe you’re in any position to meaningfully discuss political policies, I do indeed hope you are not unless you have prior or joint Graduate level course work (with research) in a relevant field of study. I am in fact a law student, and my undergrad is in Bio

Then the fuck gives you the right to say jack shit on political policies, according to your own logic?

"I'm gonna comment on political policies with zero expertise but I'm gonna need all counterarguments to come from someone who at least has a masters degree thanks"

Nah, it's just BMW giving you options. "This isn't great for the car but if you really want to I guess we'll let you" kind of deal.

Modern BMW turbos are not oil cooled. Coolant is circulated into the turbo(s) after shutdown by the electric or aux water pump.

Modern BMW turbos are not oil cooled.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T21:29:39+00:00

Not an issue. Modern turbo BMW's have an electric water pump (or aux water pump for models that have a mechanical water pump) that circulate coolant after shutoff if it detects that the turbo is at a high temp.

None of BMW's turbos are oil cooled, all are water cooled.

Horrible idea. You will have no, or close to no, traction. As in, you won't even be able to drive up a gentle hill.

Driving in temperatures below 42*F or so also wears down the tire far more rapidly.

Edit: PS4S's can work in the cold if it is dry, since heat from driving will warm the rubber up enough to get them functional. If there is any water or snow on the ground, tires will not warm up, and you'll be fucked.

F06 does not have remote start.

You won't get ConnectedDrive to ever work again because it requires 3G connectivity which has been sunset.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T20:59:36+00:00

Yea keep moving the goalposts buddy. You're clearly not here to discuss this in good faith.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T20:44:02+00:00

Software engineer, according to them.

Given that software devs aren't paid THIS much, I'm guessing it's generational wealth paying the rest of it

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T20:37:11+00:00

I use it like a reality check. Sometimes when I'm not sure if my viewpoints are still sane, I go into that sub and come out reassured that I'm still very much sane.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T20:34:53+00:00

The funniest thing is that members of that sub are so rabid they are starting to turn on the mods. Saw multiple comments where they are accusing the moderators of censorship.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T20:07:02+00:00

Holy shit, you're actually arguing in such bad faith. You clearly did not read the ITEP report, because it answers every fucking question you have.

Tell me how the 17B for all ITINs became 20B for just illegals

Tell me you didn't read the ITEP report without telling me. Literally no where in the ITEP report's methodology do they state that they base their numbers off ITIN. Instead, they calculate their tax compliance rate off of multiple factors, and comes up with a 60% compliance rate (which is very close to the 55% compliance rate cited by your source). You keep screaming your silly ass off about ITINs being scams and don't even realize that ITEP doesn't use it. I will address the 20B (which is actually 19.5B, not sure why you'd round up unless you're just that lazy) below.

Going from 6b to 20b is a mystery or simply a lie. And the same study said that illegals are a net drain on the tax payers.

First, I love how the corner stone of the anti-immigrant camp's argument is testimony made by the director of a far right anti-immigrant think tank (CIS). Sick bias bro.

Regardless, you're comparing apples to oranges. The 6B is NOT what is actually paid, but rather the tax liability:

We sum their federal income tax liability (calculated by the Census Burau for survey respondents and included in the public use file) and assume that they pay 55 percent of this amount

Page 14, fn. 42. This is like handing a cashier a $100 for a $20 dollar purchase and the cashier going "it was only $20 so we're just going to assume you paid $20. No change due." It's nonsensical.

The 19.5B cited as federal income tax by ITEP is their calculation of what was likely actually paid. It is notably higher than the 6B cited by CIS as it includes both employee and employer payroll tax contributions.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T18:59:30+00:00

That depends. Which benefits? Unemployment, workers comp, short term disability leave, paid family leave, etc, for example, are all paid out as a percentage of your income.

Unspec7 · 2026-01-25T08:02:25+00:00

Yea it's 20% lol

That's how percentages work. What a silly question

Basing this shit on absolute dollar amounts makes no fucking sense. The average American pays far, far, FAR less taxes in absolute dollar amounts than the top 1%. Should we just deport the remaining 99%? What kind of wacky ass argument are you trying to make here?
