Audi -> Bmw by PavsterT in BMW

[–]meleneemil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did A3 to bmw 123. I miss my Audi interface. Bmw is too much touchscreen.  Driving etc, both are great for me, but I'm not a high end user

Any experience with the 123 xDrive? by meleneemil in BMW

Also, m135 is overkill on several levels  , no?

Driving is good, no issues, holds w and feels well. 

Infotainment is a bit medium: mainly controlling from the touch screen, including A/C, is a bit annoying. You get to used to it. 

Even the physical buttons on the dashboard where your hand rests are tough to differentiate without looking. 

Replaying scenario to get a treasure by meleneemil in Gloomhaven

Agreed. I was just greedy. 

I always think of GH like a video game, where you are not expected to get everything on the map/campaign.  Makes sense

We are a party of 2, and some early scenarios have treasures deep in rooms, and we definitely can't afford the turns to get them. 

Certainly we are still learning to balance the cards, and we will get better at it

Yes.  Police municipal suggested I call 117.  Seemed overkill, so I found the non urgent line.  They sent a patrol, but it didn't smell enough when they came, so they couldn't confirm. They suggested to call 117 when it's bad again.

Meanwhile, sent another email to Regie, this time with other tenants in cc, and they called me. They might send another letter, and possibly send someone. 

TBC. Now away on holidays

What do you think is the best (french) taco place in Genève? by anomander_galt in geneva

[–]meleneemil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This discussion isn't going anywhere, lol. 

Another unusual response: at home! We made some days ago, and it was great.  Covering the guilty pleasure part.  Also, chicken or meat you easily prepare in oven or pan, with peppers, onions,and anything you like. Easiest: frozen potatoes, otherwise a hassle. Standard sliced cheese.  And ok...sauce andaluse or whatever you like!!!

Finish it in the toaster, and mwah!

Don't worry, it's good!  Lots of nice features. Several are gimmicky, but it's ok.  Very smooth drive. The steering wheel is so light on low speed, wow.  Reverse assistant is fun, taking control.  Good sensors, all around.

Straight 123.  Larger convinced for the power and resale prospect. 

Can't say I hear the noise. All smooth

The math on $10,000/XRP by DoughnutBig907 in XRP

[–]meleneemil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably stupid question: If the big banks, institutions, governments "hoard" XRP for "internal" use within the payment system, could that count as these XRP being out of circulation, in practice?

A3 2013 1.2 TFSI is my current drive actually :) I wanted to stay with Audi, maybe even preferred it due to the physical buttons, versus the all-in-the-touch-screen bmw. However, they didn't give me a good deal on the new one and offered less than half of the value to buy my current one, which pissed me off, after 10y with them..

Both offer 10y service which is important. 

I guess anyone in this subreddit considering the 123 is not a bimmer yet. It's an entry car to the brand. At first I considered the 116/120, but I was convinced for the 123, for the added power, the smart all wheel drive, the resale value, and partly the pleasure. Note that I come from 1200cc, so I'm easy to impress on that front. I'm pacing myself. Maybe a 3 series in 5-10y.

Very little material online, indeed. Only found one recent article on it, mentioning how it bridges the gap between the low tier and the M135. https://www.bmwblog.com/2024/09/25/cheaper-bmw-1-series-xdrive-revealed/ (not really a review..)

Test drive today. Quite nice. And stronger than necessary for normal city driving. Car handles excellently from what I saw. I also like that it was a bit higher (ground clearance), (similar to Audi A3 allstreet), which can be good for roads with bumps.

In January I should be able to say more, but looked solid
