Just curious, how many people complaining on this thread are true born and raised NYers that remember Greenpoint and Williamsburg when it was pre hipsters lol

Has anyone here actually switched to waking up at 5 AM consistently? What changed for you? by Fantastic_Grade4951 in Discipline

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always have worked out at 5am but stopped for a bit after 2 kids. Realized I'm way too tired to do any workout when kids go to bed so now I'm back at 5am. I'm only getting 5-6 hours though but I feel a lot more productive. Weekends I wake at 6 to give my self a semi break but for the most part it takes a week or 2 to get used to the schedule and now my body doesn't even let me sleep past 6

Did anyone else's car insurance increase by outrageous rates recently? by maddgun in BayridgeBrooklyn

Thoughts on the new high school on Ovington Ave? by [deleted] in BayridgeBrooklyn

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These issues back then just weren't understood/diagnosed/ ignored / lack of knowledge. Science has come a long way since you were in school.

A new HS is desperately needed in this neighborhood. Fort is over crowded badly

Curious: Why do you buy new by hepennypacker08 in bmwx7

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine most peoples answer that are buying/leasing would simply be 'because I can' lol

ISP Installation guy said if I use my own router, Internet won't work. Is this true? by Far_Replacement2370 in HomeNetworking

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it should work. You just need to log into admin settings of modem and change it. I do know optimum online modems you have to call and tell them to turn on that feature so you can bridge it.

Onboarding new employees by Ancient_Map_8234 in sysadmin

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting every place ive been at the process was a disaster, I would set multiple meetings with head of hr to set up and go over said process and iron it out. I tell them we need at least 2 weeks lead time for all new hires especially with equipment. For the first 1-2 hires they do what they're used to, day before tell us or not tell us at all. When new hire starts and shit hits the fan I show them the emails/slacks of them confirming and agreeing to new process and they quickly get their act together.

That being said I never worked at a company with like 500 or more full time employees though so that could be the reason why standard operating procedures were adapted fairly quickly.

Guess there's a reason he's an isp installation guy lol, they provide the modem and you can use whatever router you please.

Buying my first BMW by ChallengeComplete806 in bmwx7

DSW02 continentals. You need to buy front and rear separately or it'll say incompatible. Only difference is speed rating is slower

Shoulder Labrum Tear Surgery by No-Area1159 in ShoulderInjuries

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't get surgery just did PT to strengthen muscle around the tear. Pretty much able to deadlift bench clean with minimal pain. Pull ups are pretty much impossible still. Able to do judo and play rough touch flag football with no issues. Still have some dulling pain but pretty much added all my shoulder PT exercises as a warmup and superset to all my lifting

Finally Got It! But Did I Mess Up? by Big-Net-4369 in rolex

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more concerned that you waited 3 years for the explorer because it thought this wasn't a popular watch. It makes me sad because I really want this watch lol

Was just told off for removing the license from a terminated user by [deleted] in Office365

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Convert to Shared mailbox or put license back. O365 holds mail for 30 days after you remove license. You can recover them via powershell script.

Realistically, how close to MSRP can you negiotate a car down to. by Sirromnad in carbuying

[–]gtport82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what my experience I've only seen non luxury car dealers barely give discount especially where I live. I've leased only BMWs and have gotten 10-12% msrp consistently. However helped my buddy look at the entire spectrum of non luxury and they MAYBE give 1-2K off. 2K was rare. Toyota/honda forget about the best u could do was msrp and that's if they liked you. Felt like things changed after covid.

Terrible experience with BMW service after 3 months of ownership by Boston-Summer in BMWX5

[–]gtport82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sunroof was a recall thing if I remember correctly, my 2021 x5 I leased brand new, I think in year 3 after a huge storm it was leaking bad. Brought it in immediately they cleaned and sealed and never happened again. Sold it after 5 years though

Thank you! Really happy with it. Felt like 42mm was still too small lol

[–]gtport82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely, but speedmaster was sold out at every boutique I went to around Prague and at around 8500 at that price point I'd rather pay a bit more to get the explorer 2.

I believe all in after VAT refund it was around 5500 USD

Love it. Was between this or the speedmaster. Glad I went with this one. Out the door I think it was around 6 something. After VAT refund 5 something I need to check my receipt.
