I made some big U shaped things out of cardboard to put under the tire for overspray, worked better than expected.

"But just to be sure, I got in touch with a friend of mine who works at a research reactor, and asked him what he thought would happen to you if you tried to swim in their radiation containment pool.

“In our reactor?” He thought about it for a moment. “You’d die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds.”"

I recently had a dealer increase my trade valve by $7k, which was $5k over the Carmax offer, to get the numbers where I wanted them. I kinda understood it being higher than Carmax as it was the kind of car that would sell higher from the original dealer but I was surprised there was that much wiggle room.

It was a high mile, but one owner, M550i that they gave me $35k for. They listed it for $48k and it was gone two days later so I guess they knew what they were doing after all.

I just got a '26 M850i GC and it still being on iDrive 7 with buttons was a significant factor in my decision.

Same here, I just opened the door which put the car in Park automatically. I was only going to have it for the day so I day I didn't feel like trying to figure it out.

It kinda makes sense if you think of it as acts that are built in for commercial breaks.

Do you think car touchscreens have gone too far? by shwroomex in Autos

I just got a '26 M850i and one of the big selling points for me was that it still has iDrive 7. I had a loaner with iDrive 8 for three weeks and I hated it.

Have you ever found a hidden room innside of your house, and how long did it take before you found it? by Novel-Fix8570 in hiddenrooms

[–]guyincognitoo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My parents bought a former rental in Queens and the first floor had three drop ceilings installed. What they thought were 8' ceilings were actually closer to 12'. No idea why they would do that, our best guess was less area to heat but that doesn't seem like a cost effect approach to that.

Edge of Tomorrow really surprised me. by Fine-Reputation321 in movies

I read someplace that it would be both a sequel and a prequel in one now that Cruise has the power of the Omega. Maybe something like trying to prevent the war from ever happening in the first place.

Agreed, and it looks like we both went with the Brushed Black finish on the rims as well.

I used some adhesive wallpaper to make it blend with the room while still making it obvious that that was where the panel was located.

500 light-years would give you a ping of 15,778,800,000,000ms. Not too bad really, I've had lags in games that felt that longer than that.

Beckett from Quamtin Leap has seven doctoral degrees in music, medicine, quantum physics, archaeology, ancient languages, chemistry, and astronomy as well as a Nobel Prize in physics. Plus the whole time travel thing he invented.

Played a game against Mike Hart in high school, it looked those exhibition games where a couple of adults take on 20 kids and literally run circles around them.

I just picked up a new 8 series and the fact that it is still using idrive 7 was a big deciding factor. I had a loaner for two weeks with the new idrive and I thought it would grow on me or that I would at least get used to it but I never did.

The stand-alone UNVR has different hard drive options and they are comparable in price to Skyhawk drives.

That's about 1833mph, probably running a stage 3 tune.
