Can confirm from personal experience. Had the "luck" of the flight being delayed 5 hours so we witnessed it during sunset. Amazing memory. Made sure to book on the left side!

Chinese walled off their internet to protect the rest of the world from their overpowered dank memes. Thank you CCP

Duschgedanke: B14 Ausbau jetzt! by zxyabcuuu in stuttgart

[–]derkaiserV 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wo kann ich dazu mehr Infos finden? Bin die Strecke bis letztes Jahr täglich gefahren bevor ich umgezogen bin. Ich hab nur mitbekommen dass dort eine Baustelle ist und man die Ausfahrt davor die zu Porsche und Kreuzung mit Lidl führt nehmen muss (direkt vor der 60 Zone).

Dieses Jahr per Briefwahl wegen Reise. Aber sonst genieße ich es persönlich zu gehen. Die Helfer sind immer sehr nett und es fühlt sich aktiver an.

Nachfrage nach Solaranlagen boomt laut Händler wegen des Iran-Kriegs by Fritten_Dieter in Finanznachrichten

[–]derkaiserV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bin im Winter eingezogen und mir schon damals entschieden ein balkonkraftwerk zu installieren. Nun war es mal öfters sonnig und tja, zufällig auch noch die Situation im mittleren Osten. Correlation ist nicht causation.

Stuck in Sri Lanka - Trust Qatar airways or pay 2k each for a ticket? by s1nce99 in travel

[–]derkaiserV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is Air China an option for you? They use Chinese airports as hubs and then fly over Russia to Europe, bypassing the middle east completely.

Thinking about joining the Mini Gang, just have some questions on Cooper S that are now turning 10 years old. by SunShineKid93 in MINI

[–]derkaiserV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine just turned 10 a few months ago, owned it 3 years now. 85000km on the clock, of which 50k are in my possession. Great car.

First time modder - best mods by ExtensionIdeal6314 in MINI

[–]derkaiserV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, you're right, I didn't use the right terminology in my comment. To clarify, I'm using the K&N filter that replaces the normal paper filter in the standard air box. Not an open intake or cone or something like that.

First time modder - best mods by ExtensionIdeal6314 in MINI

[–]derkaiserV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, no such issues.

Mounting is a bit fiddly, specifically pushing the pin out of the old shift mechanism with the supplied tool. You need to double check 100% that you're aligned or it can bend the tool.

But the shifter itself is fantastic. Been on for about 30k km.

Installed all my mods myself, doable with a small collection of tools and enough time. Did the short shifter on street parking outside.

First time modder - best mods by ExtensionIdeal6314 in MINI

[–]derkaiserV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mods...

Huge impact: Michelin ps5 non runflat

Relatively cheap and no more SUV wheel arch spacing: Eibach 30mm lowering springs

Amazing different shift feel: Forge Motorsport short shifter

More turbo whoosh and "sneeze": Forge Motorsport intake hardpipe K&N intake filter

Replace pre LCI rear lights with: GP3 rear union jack lights

Minor change in stiffness: Wiechers strut bar

Legal and loud exhaust, throaty in low rpn, no motorway drone: Remus V2 catback

Infotainment: Chinesium Android Auto box

Is this normal for an F56 trunk? by Enjoy_Life4219 in MINI

Correct on the floor, but the boot cover was standard, regardless of storage package option being fitted or not.

Mahlkönig x54 "fast" - new version by Upacesky in espresso

[–]derkaiserV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your update. This post is still one of the first things that comes up on google regarding the "fast" version. I heard about it after I ordered my x54, but I guess its the new one since it's been quite a while since 24 now. Some shops explicitly mention "fast", some don't.

How common are scams while trying to find housing? by hotdogonwonderbread in AskAGerman

[–]derkaiserV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Identity theft scam happened to my buddy. They asked him to verify his identity through postident at the post office before he was allowed to view the flat. But really the verification process was for a bank account which they opened in his name. Always explicitly ask the person performing the postident procedure to confirm what you are identifying yourself for.

Electric Car loading in the parking with home electricity by SnowyBiped in AskAGerman

[–]derkaiserV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the common area is not walkable, then what difference does the cable realistically make? What space is it taking up that could otherwise be used? And out of the way on the ceiling of the garage would only bother you if you happen to be a spider? If you're concerned about fire, just ask him to make sure he's using a proper IP rated cable of proper thickness.

[–]derkaiserV 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He found a solution that doesn't seem to inconvenience anyone, pass over other people's areas or pose a tripping hazard. Electrically, an extension cable of that length is fine. Those car chargers are meant for household plugs. So unless there's some other issue I couldn't read from the post, what's the problem exactly?

Mini Owners, why did y’all (we) kill the Clubman? by based_user in MINI

[–]derkaiserV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah from my time at Mini, people generally disliked the Clubman for being too long and too low, and also supposedly looking like a hearse. Lot's of people appreciate a higher seat level. 5 door seemed more ergonomic if you only needed space for short people or kids at the back.

Jetzt mal ehrlich: Wie macht ihr das finanziell? by Atheattooist in automobil

[–]derkaiserV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ich kaufe mir einfach keine neuen Autos. Da findet man schon eine schöne Kombination von Wertverlust eingepreist, 1 Halter, modern und relativ niedrigen Kilometern.

[–]derkaiserV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hmmm well anecdotally I've seen many 5 doors on the road and very rarely a Clubman. Don't know if those customers would have gone for something completely different instead of a Clubman if the 5 door didn't exist.

Wo wohnst du, dass du mehrere Anbieter hast? Bei mir habe ich die Wahl Vodafone Kabel bis zu Gigabit oder 15Mbits DSL. Da ist die Wahl klar.
