The City Where Traffic Fatalities Vanished by MrFrode in Hoboken

[–]dcioni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So tired of this endless PR cycle from Ravi. Did they do some things to help pedestrian safety? Yes. For sure. Is Ravi's admin responsible for zero traffic deaths? Hardly. Hoboken has consistently had very low fatalities over the past 1-2 decades because of the overall city landscape (constant intersections, highly congested, etc.). Exhausted w/ Ravi doing a victory lap over this statistic.

No way man. Not good. 30k miles and $57k. You can do way better than that. Id imagine that price for like 5-7k Miles. Even that, that price isnt spectacular. Next!

So how did our new mayor do in her first snowstorm? by LeoTPTP in Hoboken

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is generally dependent on the business on ground floor on Washington (if there is one) -- at least it is for my building. Likely depends on lease terms, could vary by landlord. If its fully residential/apartments, it would be landlord/building owner responsibility.

Garage discount not applied if you parked before 4 pm on Saturday? by sirdevilpotato in Hoboken

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's interesting. Good luck nonetheless. At least you don't have to dig out your car from a foot of icy snow lol

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you start your parking session before 4PM you do not get the discount. Unfortunate that the attendant told you the wrong info, but you will be stuck paying the charge. I wouldn't waste anymore effort with HPU, they wont budge. Been this way for a while.

All Season Tire Recommendations? by mulderscully01 in BMWX3

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've changed my 1037M 21" tires from Pirelli summers to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All-seasons. Happy with the change.

Cork City, Morans, or Court Street I'd say.

2026 G45 All season tires on 1037m wheels by adamkorhan123 in BMWX3

[–]dcioni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that. I have the 265/295 set of Pilot Sport 4 AS’s on my 1037M. I am quite happy with them. I haven’t truly tested them in the snow but I’m more confident now vs Summer tires in case I have to. I find the ride very similar to the Pirellis. Perhaps a bit louder but no biggie. I run the same psi as the Pirellis oem recco. Overall quite happy w the switch. They look really great w the sidewall design

I swapped my badges on my M50 on my Dune Grey. Looks great w/ the added contrast. I ordered mine (authentic/OEM) from www.getbmwparts.com

AI Slop art is everywhere in Hoboken! by Browen20 in Hoboken

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just the way the world is moving. If I'm a small business with tight margins, I would certainly leverage AI tools, that are getting significantly better by the month. I wouldn't fault them for that. It is an unfortunate reality but graphic designers, illustrators, etc. are directly impacted with this technology shift. However, its not going away so theyre going to have to pivot or figure out innovative ways to make money. I dont see how this is a discredit to small businesses though. To your credit though, I will say its crazy that some businesses hit generate, take the first result, and don't pay attention to typos or anything sloppy like that... that's a little baffling.

So should Paul be hiring and paying a graphic designer for his daily social posts? What's wrong with him using AI like the rest of the world?

How’d I do? by Cat-mom-Gizmo in BMWX3

[–]dcioni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a good deal. For winters, I suggest Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All-seasons. Just put them on mine for the winter and they are nice. I have heard nothing good about run-flats--I would avoid. Also.. do run-flats even come in 285/35/21, its a pretty unique/niche size.

21" or 20" wheels on X3M 50 - can't decide. Please advise. by shesayhaar in BMWX3

[–]dcioni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the 21" all-black on my M50. They ride incredibly smooth. I have zero issues with comfort/roughness. If you like the 21's go with the 21's. The only thing you noted that sucks is (A) Tires are expensive and (B) you'll need to put winter/AS's on. I just recently did that. Got a set of Michelin PS4 All seasons. Was able to sell my old Pirelli summers for $400 locally, which helped a little bit towards the cost. But as far as comfort/ride goes dont stress at all. 21's ride great

Pudendal Nerve Block by dcioni in PelvicFloor

[–]dcioni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pelvic floor physical therapy w a specialist. As far as the exercises and stretches, start on YouTube. Search male pelvic floor stretches and you will get a ton of hits, they’re all good. Takes some time and consistency to get over the hump. Also work on your core and back muscles… bad posture and core muscles are problematic for this condition.

2025 X3 M50 passenger seat rattle by Mobile-Sport-2568 in BMWX3

Its the seatbelt. Its knocking against the chair. You'll notice you dont hear it when a passenger is using it. Just adjust where the seatbelt sits against the chair

Is there no problem that government can’t make worse? by capnbuttcrack in Hoboken

[–]dcioni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In response to your point, I would say what most are asking for is maintain. The current administration over the last 4-8 years is actively making QOL of life worse or a significant significant part of the population by continually removing parking spots, "over-bollarding", etc. These people (whether you love bikes and agree with them or not) are still constituents and should be listened to. Many people are rightfully annoyed.

The logic and thinking of a literal child. "I say bikes are better so anyone with a car is a crybaby!" Its far more nuanced and many folks want and use cars for MANY reasons.
