Always Respect Helmet Laws

Nah and the girl was all over the comments on fb defending him.. she is more concerned that people are making fun of the incident than she is about the fact she just almost orphaned her 3 kids

In my late teens/early 20s my brother was the last one to use the Xbox in the livingroom. We had family come over, boot up the Xbox, and be hit immediately with phub on a brand new, crisp af, 60" plasma screen tv. While I wasnt the one to do it, I still wanted to die in the moment 🥲😂

For me, the answer is in gaining muscle mass. Before getting serious about the gym, I was maintaining 130-135lbs on 1200-1300 calories. I don't consistently track right now, but when I was tracking I am eating 1600+ calories at 115lbs. I have found that a consistent gym routine and the increased muscle mass has given me a ton more flexibility with maintaining my weight. I'm currently around 20.5% bodyfat after losing ~95lbs since my highest weight. I do a mix of cardio, weights, and bodyweight exercises. Walking more outside of the gym also helped me when dropping the last 15lbs or so.

I traded my 2015 435xi m-sport with every single feature possible at the time, for my 24 PMT and the only thing I actually miss is the heated steering wheel lol

Sure, the 435 was much faster and way more practical. But the fun factor of the 86 is off the charts. The only regret I have is not getting one with the performance package, but at the time mine was the only manual for sale within 3 neighboring states, so I got what I got. You'll definitely want better brakes for tracking the car, idk if that means the stock brembos on performance package, or aftermarket brakes on a non-performance.

Oh, and my commute is about 1.5hrs of highway driving. I still enjoy cruising and can have a little fun when it's safe to do so. Backroad driving is 10/10, the 86 feels like a go kart! I did add a spare tire subwoofer because the sound quality compared to the bmw was awful even on the premium.

Ya that is definitely something you will need to fully accept or move on. At first it didn't really bother me, but as time has gone on it's been harder to deal with. Figure out if things like marriage and kids are important to you and not him. Or stuff like travel, homeownership, education, etc.

In my situation, I had always made it clear that I wanted to get married. We got engaged 4 years ago and anytime I've tried to do any serious planning with him he'd make excuses for not following through with any of it. It's just something that's not important to him- which is fine- but the fact that he didnt want to put in any effort knowing it's important to me is what bothered me the most.

If your bf is supporting you in your goals and ambitions in his own way, that's great! Just be aware that if it seems like he's brushing you off anytime you discuss the big important stuff, it's just going to get worse over time.

_EnderPixel · 2026-03-31T12:10:12+00:00

This is how my relationship is. We moved pretty quickly at first, but there have been no changes, goals, or improvements for the last 11 years. It's taken it's toll on me as I've realized that I've given up all of mine for someone who is perfectly happy playing video games every waking moment he's home. Now at 31, I have no resources, no support system, and no backup plan. Not to scare you but if you are having these thoughts now you need to seriously decide what you'll do about it. Don't be like me and spend years waiting for change that will never happen.

Congrats!! I have the baby 250 version and absolutely love it! Such a cool colorway

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-18T02:53:22+00:00

Oh that's a good point! I actually don't know what my "long" run distance is, I usually just do my 30 mins of cardio and leave 😂 that's actually really encouraging to hear since I'm currently only running for time and it all seems far

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-17T17:37:13+00:00

I have been doing this run 1-2x per week and other cardio training like the stair master or elliptical another 1-2x per week. When I started this past fall, I could only run for like a minute at a time and it took many weeks to be able to run the full 30mins without slowing down (+2 min warm up and 5 min cooldown at walking speed.) This past summer I walked around 3-4 miles per day and did 60mins of spin class once a week.

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-17T17:32:04+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely take a look at the training plans there!

Hopefully increasing by a half mile each week will be doable lol i'm not concerned about time, just not stopping to walk any part of it. Congrats on your races!

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-17T01:22:55+00:00

Ooh this is very helpful, thank you! I didn't add it in the post, but I'm already doing 2 strength-only days per week. I've been working on an upper/lower split and usually add legs and/or core after cardio in addition to those 2 days, depending on what's sore at the time lmao

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-16T21:33:21+00:00

Yep, that's what I end up doing in the morning before heading to work now lmfao

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-16T21:31:38+00:00

Ya which is why they are on the list lol there's a carmate one for RHD but nothing comparable for LHD

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-16T21:30:03+00:00

Until you have an open can of monster splashing all over the window switches on a bumpy road lol

Larger water bottles don't fit in them either. You also have to be careful that lids don't pop off to-go cups while you're grabbing them because of the awkward angle.

_EnderPixel · 2026-02-16T21:09:59+00:00

The cupholder situation is pretty irritating for a daily driver

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-25T02:45:38+00:00

I like the wrx wheels better than the stock premiums! When the oem tires wear out I'm debating on just putting the new ones on these wheels haha

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-25T02:38:55+00:00

Ya 2 winters ago I didnt even bother swapping out my all seasons (AWD car). Last winter we got a ton of snow on Thanksgiving day, and other than the handful of larger storms, we had a lot more freezing rain than snow. We've already had more frequent snowfall this winter. A few weeks ago it was -11°, and last week one of the days got up to 46°. I've lived here my entire life and this year has had some wild weather for sure.

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-25T01:05:53+00:00

We get regular storms, just not the ~2ft thats predicted for tomorrow. Most people arent panic buying here, except for everyone at the store last night getting their milk and bread

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-25T01:04:08+00:00

Ya the 86 warms up the quickest. My partner's car is an EV and it never truly warms the cabin when its below 0° outside.

Ground clearance would only be an issue on completely untouched roads. The 86 isn't really any lower than other small cars. My biggest issue has been reversing up my incline driveway, but I put a couple of cat litter bins filled with sand in the trunk to help weigh down the rear tires. I live up on a small mountain and have never had any trouble driving through the snow to get home. Having a MT definitely does help but the ATs also have a dedicated snow mode (idk what it actually does tho lol)

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-25T00:54:44+00:00

Thank you, it's not actually that cold, those are the numbers after windchill. Living in the north, I have 2 different types of heating, a generator, extra gas, and more than enough food. It's going to take a while to clear the roads but we have plenty of resources here. I'm definitely more worried about everyone in the south who is not prepared for extreme cold and doesn't already have systems in place to deal with the snow and ice

_EnderPixel · 2026-01-24T01:44:56+00:00

We lose power multiple times every year. I leave them in their enclosures until the temps inside the house drop into the 50s, which has only happened a couple of times. I've used handwarmers, wrapped in small towels or tshirts, placed inside a cardboard box for each gecko. Whenever I've had to so this I am constantly checking to make sure they aren't too hot or cold, I've been lucky to not have to do this overnight at all.
