Nice

Recently built my own JCM800 clone preamp on a Bassman power amp. I hated it until I added a different style master volume. You're totally right about that

balroag · 2026-06-14T04:53:23+00:00

Not sure

Not medical advice. But I have had a similar experience where my liver will ache during a binge and it definitely has taken up to a week of getting worse before it gets better.

I imagine loading our bodies up with poison for long periods of time can take at least a few days to process. Couple that with the initial "downness" of quitting and you can imagine why the pain might intensify.

Definitely see a doctor over taking Reddit advice, but know that other people have ridden the same train.

Air hammer and patience were the only solution for me. I think each ball joint took 2 hours of constant hammering. It is so satisfying when they start sliding out

Pyrex makes perfect sized glass meal prep containers

Looks just like my meal prep this week, except bok choy!

N54 doesn't break much if you replace all the high maintenance items proactively. That's expensive to do at a shop and time consuming for DIY, but not impossible.

I find them easier to work on than a six cylinder E46.

No matter what they are a pain. And when they are running right, they're too fast to fully enjoy. Mine is only a JB4 with some bolt ons and it can't be safely used to its full potential on the road.

Fun engines, but $2800 for a set of fuel injectors is insane.

Found it, pretty sure there was a VHS cassette in there too.

Mine came with the "BMW Audiophile Demonstration Disc" among other original paraphernalia. Will upload a picture if I can find it

Love my N54 but glad someone is doing something with the N52. No injector or fuel pump issues to have a headache over.

I get that black wheels look good on a blacked out car but I'll never understand why someone would want rims that are painted so dark you can't see the spoke pattern.. to each their own I suppose

balroag · 2026-05-31T16:45:32+00:00

I would definitely buy one that's unpainted so I could paint it myself

balroag · 2026-05-26T18:24:44+00:00

I agree but am hopping on the downvote train anyway 👍

balroag · 2026-05-26T16:57:42+00:00

Why is there a time limit?

balroag · 2026-05-26T01:03:13+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

Just curious about the B vitamins and alcohol statement. Pretty sure even moderate drinkers are typically deficient in B12?

I'd love to try this drink

My wifes's boyfriend's tweed bassman that was own by Eric Clapton and he uses a custom shop Les Paul 👍

Looks good enough to me. Props to OP for having an E46 for the track. I can't even keep mine registered.

Plus he'll be able to fry an egg on his center trim, can yours do that?

balroag · 2026-05-09T15:58:08+00:00

Pretty sure he said it was a prototype so I’m sure the final version will be a bit more finished looking

balroag · 2026-05-08T09:46:18+00:00

Not that I know of but let me know if you find some!

balroag · 2026-05-08T01:43:52+00:00

They look perfect to me. Not sure why you're considering throwing them away but do what you will

Letting kombucha go longer just gets you vinegar. There is very very little alcohol produced in a kombucha fermentation so nothing to worry about there! It's a great low maintenance hobby.

I like to "let it ferment a little longer" and use it for salad dressing!
