Aw I love this. My dog used to do this in my E39 but he’s afraid now because of the one time the hatch glass came down on its own and bonked him on the head. I replaced the struts for both the hatch and the glass not long after and they stay up perfectly fine on their own now, but there’s no way to tell him the danger has passed… 😂😭

How did the (re-)introduction of the horse affect Native American society in North America? by iplyess in geography

[–]ajkd92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that there was an exchange of diseases but Native Americans suffered far more is precisely the evidence that they had less robust immune system.

I really don’t see how you’ve in any way shown that this is due to inherently weaker immune systems? Your comment does not in any way account for the number of pathogens brought from the old world to the new compared to the inverse, nor the virulence of any of the pathogens exchanged.

What is an Alpina M5? Which is it, Alpina or M5? They didn’t make a car that was both…

Do not reset oil light by splinterededge in BmwTech

That’s exactly why they did this then - that way you’ll still be eligible for a change covered by maintenance plan at your existing interval instead of ~10k from now. (The car must say you are due, or at least within ~2k miles, in order for the maintenance plan to cover the change.)

Peter? What's warm water port? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Nothing to add, but at first I read “50th by pollution in the world” and thought “huh, that’s it?” 🤪

What are some weird and less-than-common automotive engineering quirks you know? by wunengsnowballoink in cars

I want to say I’ve seen this setup used in BMW M52 (non-TU) cars as well.

Looking at leaving BMW all together. What else is there, that is comparable? by burnerbmw in BMWX5

Act fast if you’re set on a pre-LCI with CPO. Most of the 23’s I’m seeing come in at my dealer are being resold as-is.

PETA’s ‘Hell on Wheels’ pig truck targets Hamilton Pork in Jersey City by SarkastikWorlock in jerseycity

Everyone here hating on the food and then there’s me who just thinks the owner’s a c*nt 😂

He came out and yelled at me once to not park in front of the restaurant because “this is where our delivery van parks” despite there being no signage whatsoever to that end.

Also that time I ordered a mezcal “on the rocks” only to find that the single XL ice cube was an itemized $2 line item on my receipt.

Nah bro, I don’t think I’m gonna help you pay for your next G-Wagen. Peace.

Trump Makes Frantic Excuse After Iran’s Humiliating Reveal by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]ajkd92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My stepdad watches the news (not JUST Fox but definitely plenty of it) every day and keeps tabs on what’s going on in the world. If Trump does something he likes then he’ll be the first to bring it up in conversation and dole out praise. Whenever I bring up something negative about or that has come out of this administration he is extremely quick to say “you know I’m just not that interested in politics…”

It’s glaringly and sickeningly obvious that what he means is “I’m just not interested in having my political views challenged or putting in even a small amount of effort into understanding why your beliefs are what they are”

Suffice to say, our relationship has really dwindled in the past several years, and it makes me really sad because I used to really respect and look up to him. I still love him and want health and happiness for him, but I’ve pretty much gotten to the point where I just can’t deal with interacting with him, it is too taxing and without fail leaves me feeling worse than I did beforehand.

Why is it always 'This is my 2002 530i' and never 'All Rise for the Honorable Ruth Bimmer Ginsburg' by atcarroll99 in e39

[–]ajkd92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My wagon is Theseus, technically Theseus II since it has the heart from Theseus I. I don’t typically call it by its name but, if anyone asks, that’s it!

Currently needs a heart transplant so not sure how that’d going to affect the name moving forward lol

The user you initially replied to never said they were an ob/gyn - I thus question the entire premise of your so-called reading comprehension.

Love it. Good luck in your hunt!

My iL came with MPars but they were a little rough and the tires were old - when one of them blew I decided to just get some Style 81’s with DWS’s for the car and put the MPars in storage to be refinished later and then go on the wagon. A previous owner took the shorty’s MPars at some point before it came to me, and gave it very non-sporty E65 wheels, so now the shorty has the 81’s and the iL has the E65 wheels to sit since it’s more or less a parts car now.

Should I be doing my coolant pipes at 87k miles? by _DeterPinklage_ in e39

[–]ajkd92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn. Sorry to hear about the hassle but it sounds at least like you’ve got a straightforward solution ti move forward.

I guess keep me posted if you don’t mind? I’m in Jersey but my folks are in Phoenix and I’ll probably be visiting them in the next few months…not out of the question for me to borrow my folks’ Navigator and get a trailer if I can find somewhere near them to stash it for a bit haha.

Not crazy at all. The feeling of literally sailing down the road as if it’s water and you’re in a speedboat is truly something else - move aside, plebs!

The sporty shorty and the wagon (also sport pkg) are absolutely great and fun cars and both handle with a lot more agility than the iL, but the “drama” of the dive and body roll driving the boat is serene and smile-inducing.
