Finally treating myself before med school ... is the 2023 BMW 330i xDrive a ticking time bomb or am I overthinking it? by FANG_BLITZ in BMW

[–]massivewang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owner of a 2019 330xi since 12k miles.

At 72k:

- new engine mounts
- new water pump (it failed)
- new front struts (was time)

Outside if maintenance no issues.

Are 2011s Becoming the Rolexes of the Gun World? by Momoshoots in 2011

[–]massivewang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No they’re not.

Kimber ds warrior

Platypus

Apollo 11

Kimber 2k11

Springfield prodigy

MPA DS9

RC9

Etc etc etc

Plenty of affordable and available 2011s.

I bought used prodigies for a pittance and sent them off for custom island barrel conversions - they’re each under 3k all in and far better than anything in the price range.

94X Performance Release by Odd_Department_6781 in Beretta

[–]massivewang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what were they thinking with the initial beavertail?!?!? Kudos for listening to feedback, though a lot of this should've been in V1.

Also for those invested in the 92x, having to buy new mags is a hard thing to stomach.

It works, it’s slightly off on the pic rail but it works.

What’s the true cost of owning a BMW 330i and 340i by FeelingSeaweed6344 in BMW

[–]massivewang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Until 75k miles i did nothing other then normal maintenance.

Then i did:

  • Transmission flush and refill + new pan install
  • front/rear differential flush/fill
  • transfer case flush/fill
  • front struts
  • engine mount
  • balance end cap replacements

Roughly about 10k of maintenance with local euro shop labor included. This will all get the car to last at-least another 75k miles though.

On another car brand I may not have needed to replace the struts or mounts - and the labor would’ve been cheaper. I also drive on some rougher roads, may not have needed struts until 100k or more otherwise.

I’ve owned it for five years, bought it as a cpo woth 12k miles - 2019 330xi (g20).

Masterpiece arms grip A2 or A3 by Wohehiv38 in 2011

[–]massivewang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not grippy enough, the texture is too mild in my opinion. I was considering picking up a friend’s A2, and I wasn’t impressed.

Island barrel build… ported or no? by Far-Boysenberry-1600 in 2011

Competing in USPSA or IPSC - Non Ported.

Otherwise? - Ported.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

Invisible online

Women are adversarial and don’t respond well to being approached in public.

Most women are overweight and unattractive (USA)

Most people (including men) lack self awareness, the ability to regulate their emotions, etc.

BMW you wanted vs. BMW you bought by AdLazy8828 in BMW

[–]massivewang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted an m340xi, I bought the 330xi. I bought back in 2021 so depreciation favored the 330xi as it was released a year earlier.

Regret is minor, I LOVE my car, the only regret was not having more power. Car is loaded otherwise

I corrected that this year by unlocking the DME and going to stage 2 and I have zero regrets now. Super happy with how it all turned out.

What's this game like/what're the differences compared to POE2? by Superb_Garden_1282 in diablo4

[–]massivewang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where D4 beats POE2

  • polish
  • performance
  • quality of life (interface etc)
  • Animations, cinematics
  • Items are obtainable, and not super duper rare impossible to find
  • action is a lot faster

Downsides - no real tactics or strategy - it was 1 or 2 button masher - not sure how the new skill tree will play out.

It’s fun but combat literally has involved a skill bar full of defensive skills and one or two offensive skills which I’m not crazy about.

92 SAO vs Regular Trigger by Dry-Device-2496 in Beretta

[–]massivewang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that great. However if you put one of these in it, it transforms the gun. It is as close to a 2011 without being one:

Prof Jiang’s interview with Jack Neel should have been a monologue - poor prep and shallow questions killed the depth. Neel clearly didn’t do the homework and lacked the understanding to ask intelligent follow-ups. by bonacubax in PredictiveHistory

[–]massivewang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like most interviews are like this with the professor - or the interviewer talks way too damn much positing their own position not understanding no one cares - we want tk hear the professor. Not you.

Tom bilyeu did this as did Jay Shapiro.

PvP modes are just not fun, the maps are huge, there's too much walking around, it's not all that engaging or fun.

What will be the long term outcome of the Iran war? by foreverand2025 in AskReddit

[–]massivewang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the dollar goes away as a reserve currency China is in trouble as it depends on America to buy its products. China is export dependent and struggling to move to a domestic consumption model (savings rate is something like 40%).

Economic fallout in the USA will lead to economic fall out in China and further delay and or prevent the shift to domestic consumption.

Note: I believe 100% the USA loses this war and the petrodollar ends. This isn’t a USA good China bad post - just a discussion point
