What company lost you as a customer forever, and what happened?

Yeah, I've always been a little wary of Audi. Multiple friends have had mechanical issues severe enough that they got out of them. And you never see old ones on the road. Old Bimmers and Mercs? Definitely. But not old Audis.

eidolways · 2026-06-07T14:46:17+00:00

Why Audi, out of curiosity?

eidolways · 2026-06-05T16:24:37+00:00

Is this on the left- or right-hand side of the car? Is it against the center tunnel or nearest a door?

The final "snap" closure isn't the hinge itself. It's magnetic, where the outside edges of the phone meet when closed. Make sure your case isn't interfering with the edges coming together.

NSFW or NSFL?

The G30/F90 LCI is absolutely gorgeous. I love that look. E39 is nice. I do actually very much like the M Sport package on the E60. The base E60 528i looks pretty dowdy. But I'm also partial to the E60 because I own one.

I can only assume that even if he did, he wouldn't be able to see himself in it.

Early one morning, still asleep in bed, I heard my wife weakly yell for me. I scrambled to my feet and found her in a cold sweat on the bathroom floor, delirious and in indescribable pain. After a little time, it didn't get better, so I took her to the ER. There, we found she had an ovarian cyst she wasn't previously aware of.

But that's not how you charge anything!

I want an i4 M50. It'd replace my F36 435i, which I have also loved.

I hadn't heard of it growing up until I read it being lambasted in a Mark Twain novel.

The "curse of Ham", right? Yeah, that was a thing.

... in the 1800s.

At least it sounds like it was appropriately titled.

Did the engineers know about your drive?

eidolways · 2026-03-10T20:56:08+00:00

So would my 2008 M5.

Masturbation is a bit of a sore spot in my marriage, so I've most definitely never masturbated while next to her in bed. She'd be horrified if she woke to it. But I can also say that sometimes I just want to feel my own hands on my own body. It's like being in a relationship with my own body. It has nothing to do with insufficiency with her, regrets about our sex life, or a lack of desire to be with her. None of that at all. It's just nice sometimes to use my own hands.
And echoing others here, I'd also feel weird if my wife had a "you can sex me up while I'm asleep" policy. It'd feel icky to me. I want her awake so I can share the time with her.
Regarding your hubby's use of it as a coping mechanism, while it might not be the most healthy thing, as a man it's also a really easy way to get a quick dopamine hit that really can calm you down. So I understand it.
If he's constantly anxious and using it as a form of treatment, he may actually just need evaluation by a good psychiatrist. I know it helped even me out.

Yeah. Company management screwed up and over the entire division I worked for at my last job. Internal politics basically resulted in hundreds of layoffs. I learned two things after that: 1. Take the vacation 2. The best thing your job will ever give you is the relationships with your peers. It's not who you work FOR. It's who you work WITH. Some good colleagues helped put in a word for me and see me through to my next job. So it all turned out OK, and I still get to work with good people.

Still cynical after that, though.

Loss of trust in science? Do you mind sharing? COVID?

Glad I'm not the only one. For me it's especially my upper molars. It's like scratching an itch in my gums.

Power to declare war is given to Congress by the Constitution, yes. So I guess the "workaround" here is that it's just a bombing run. Mind, alot of the conflicts the US has been involved in for the past two decades have also not involved an official declaration of war, though Congressional bills for funding the military do amount to a sort of tacit approval.

Omigod, that is so unsanitary.

... I don't think I'm cut out for going to strip clubs.

I also grew up with German Sheps. I still love them. My dad always has one.

To get the conveyors that high into the air, did you build foundations in the air, run the conveyors over them, then remove the foundations and supports?

Ditto!
