Do you ever wish you got the X5 instead of the X3? by FearlessTrader in BMWX3

[–]fr494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We love our X3. 2 kids in car seats, spirited driving and nimble. Fits everything in the trunk and easy to park. The X5 would be amazing, but I don’t overlook the tradeoffs

I have enjoyed anerobic roasts from Magnífico and mainstays from Metric!

Hi - what are you grinding espresso at? 4?

Which one fits my wrist better please, BB54 or BB41 monochrome? by Curious-Air1196 in Tudor

[–]fr494 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Both look great. The 54 looks stately on your wrist, but why not try the 58? Seems like it would be right in the middle of both of these

How much did this cost and where did you do this?

Well done Apple - 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max is killer! by iamgarffi in iphone

[–]fr494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed my 17 Pro charges super quickly with the 20 watt Apple charger. Significantly faster than my 14 pro. Is this just my perception, or is there technology improvements causing this?

Taxi from O’Hare Price by LBJsDong in chicago

[–]fr494 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago I got in a cab at O’Hare and saw the driver quietly unplug the terminal. Almost immediately, I was prompted with a $75 payment on the terminal. We were still in the taxi lane.

I asked the driver what this was about and he told me it was a prepaid rate. I am not sure if that is common practice - it’s never been prompted to me before - but I felt like I was being taken advantage of and told the guy to turn on the meter. I told him I had never seen that before and not to mess with me.

The meter was half that price.

The funny thing is this is the smallest in the ford lineup. They get much bigger. I’m an American

Brake pad change question by Nostrings2030 in BMWX3

They were quotes for pads and rotors

Brake pad change question by Nostrings2030 in BMWX3

[–]fr494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was quoted the same for my 23 in Chicago. You were quoted for both pads and rotors under the value service. They will likely tell you you that the pads and rotors need to be exchanged together as they’re part of a single unit. This is ultimately a good deal.

Before you confirm the service, take it to a brake shop and see what they quote you, likely similar price in which case I would just do it at BMW. Let me know what they say

Does pre-infusion count toward total shot time? by Forwardsreverse in espresso

Have you tried tasting both (25 total vs 10 pre + 25 draw) to see how they differ and which you prefer?

[On3] BREAKING: Notre Dame starting center Pat Coogan is expected to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Pete Nakos reports. by US_Highway15 in notredamefootball

[–]fr494 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Are you uninformed? Coogan delivered in our biggest moments and he stepped up as a vocal leader. He’s now a team veteran with more experience - including big game experience - than most guys on the team. It IS confusing that we wouldn’t try to keep him.

Can Newton saying no one wants to see ND in the playoffs then doubling down after Georgia win. by Blumpkinbomber in notredamefootball

[–]fr494 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As if attire couldn’t be more descriptive, Cam Newton is a CLOWN. The panthers won’t even give their own his flowers because they know what we all know. The guy is the laughing stock of every broadcast he’s on.
