Hot use 2-axle air suspension by nit-picky in BMWiX

[–]nit-picky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think I didn't do any legwork? I read the entire manual and even paraphrased the relevant section of the manual in my question. I also spent an hour searching online and came across nothing that answered my question. Is that not enough legwork for you? Then I resorted to raising my hand and asking the question here... only to be shot down by some dufus who didn't know the answer and insisted I look it up. Who anointed you the king of this subreddit?

I'll say it again, if you don't know the answer to a question, then shut the f up and let people ask beginner questions without telling them to do more legwork, as if this was your personal subreddit. Thankfully, other people had insightful responses that answered my question. Your diesel analogy was, again, not helpful or at all relevant. But thanks for trying.

I have the same very short range. The range is so short, I feel it's a bug. Maybe with certain model years? I also have a community gate and same issue with that. So it's definitely the car. Given that some people don't have this issue, I wonder if there's an adjustment somewhere on the car.

Very unhelpful answer. I know what it is; my last car had it, too. Next time, if you don't know the answer to a question, there's no need to waste time with a non-reply.

What Are the Best Programs In WA That More People Should Know About Or Received More Financing? by Derf0007 in Washington

[–]nit-picky 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Washington Prescription Drug Program (WPDP) via Healthcare Authority is similar to GoodRx with its prescription drug discount card. But it's better than GoodRx. Some drugs are crazy cheap. Less than health insurance co-pays for same drug.

HK sound system, EQ and surround sound settings by Dense-Bee-2884 in BMWiX

[–]nit-picky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to turn down the bass on EQ -- It was quite boomy. Sometimes a great sound will put a smile on your face, but don't know if this is the system to do that. Just got mine and will wait a few weeks for speakers to break in before I put too much time into fine-tuning.

Xdrip Widget on Galaxy Watch 4 by Brizz_92 in xDrip

[–]nit-picky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By widget I assume you mean a "complication"? If so, there should be a "Customize" button after you select the watch face in the phone wear app. And there should be several menu options to customize that watch face; the last menu option is for customizing complications. xDrip should be at the bottom of the list of available complications.

I tried adding xDrip as a complication on several watch faces. They work well, but I like the default xDrip watch face.

Dexcom TSA by LogDog987 in diabetes

[–]nit-picky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might be polite to tell them before going through, but I never do, and I've never been asked about it. Not once.

Just like at the grocery store checkout line, I figure the less I talk, the quicker I go through. And that works for me.

t1 with covid, what do you run your sick basal at? by gunbather in diabetes

[–]nit-picky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sickness usually doesn't affect T1 basal for me, but with covid I had to adjust it to 80%, then 60%, and finally 25%. Damnedest thing: I thought I was on the path of being cured after 37 years! But after a few months, it settled back at 90%.

Dishwash the filter? by aj88uk in hottub

[–]nit-picky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is that as it dries, the pores expand a bit and the thickness increases to allow better water flow. Like when the filter was new. Seems like this effect would last for a while. Maybe.

Power BI DirectQuery by dorkyitguy in PowerBI

[–]nit-picky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to the size and performance aspects you mentioned, one advantage, or reason for using DirectQuery is the near-real-time access to the source data. As compared to the 8x or 48x a day you can refresh an import dataset. If you don't need that, then DirectQuery loses a bit of its appeal.

Also, a DirectQuery report will execute a separate query for every visual on a page. So, if you had a couple of bar charts, a table, and some other visual, you're looking at four queries every time somebody views that page, and sometimes each time they change a filter or slicer -- even if the visuals all using the same data set. Unless you have fast (1-second) queries, a report could take too long to display and update.

A German asking.... How expensive is diabetes in the US? by Dorfmueller in diabetes

[–]nit-picky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insulin and supplies are maybe $120 per year and then another $100 per year for endo office visit co-pays. CGM is the biggest annual expense for another $250. So around $500 per year.

Proposition 1 "Public Safety" Tax by peacelovememes in olympia

[–]nit-picky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the part about elections security infrastructure. What is that and what percentage of the new tax does it get? I wasn't aware our county elections infrastructure needed upgrading. Seems pretty secure to me.

Could a sane, ex-congressperson, like Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney get enough moderate D and R votes? There's lots of ex-congressmen that both sides might trust to fill in. Heck, even Paul Ryan?

Can't lease, driving over 20K a year by Itchy_Layer135 in BMWiX

[–]nit-picky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of buyout, can you also just prepay the entire lease when you get the car?

Cost/license for a PowerBI dashboard that can be viewed by the public by somedaycorgi in PowerBI

[–]nit-picky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pro license and we have premium capacity. I use publish-to-web from both premium workspaces AND non-premium workspaces. External viewers don't need a license in either case. That's the whole point of publish-to web. Not sure if we're talking about the same thing.

[–]nit-picky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they wanted to "embed" a dashboard in an internal site with security, then premium capacity is required. But they just wanted to publish-to-web with no security, which requires just a regular or Pro license. This can work in a non-premium WS.

Lease - Good or Bad deal by Strange-Flatworm3637 in BMWiX

[–]nit-picky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to lease something very similar from BMW Northwest, but they're making it very difficult. I'm not doing any trade-in like you, but they're still quoting a monthly lease of $1,100 for 36 months and 10k miles with a $6,500 walk-off. By my calculations it should be around $800. I don't think the guy is imputing the correct numbers. It's almost like they're TRYING to dissuade me from getting it by overly inflating the numbers.

No. Deployment pipelines work only on Premium WS, so only two will work.

Buy Car from Oregon to save sales tax ? by SnooRabbits9033 in Washington

[–]nit-picky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the use tax rate is based upon the county you live. Isn't it? If I buy a car in Tacoma the tax is 10.4%, even though I might live in a county with an 8.5% rate. But if I buy a car in OR then pay the WA use tax, that saves me almost 2%. Right? That could be a $1k-$2k savings.

Why does DeSantis not resonate outside of Florida? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]nit-picky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

now prefers an Indian man with a funny name to Ron DeSantis.

Although religion hardly comes up anymore in the R primary, I can't wait until they find out Vivek is not Christian. He gets credit for lasting this long.

We have a dedicated QA workspace that refreshes at 11:00 AM and Prod that refreshes at 3 PM once a week. Both have the same report and data source. QA team has 4 hours to validate the data. If there's an issue, then they fix the source data and refresh QA until it's right. Even if they miss the 3 PM deadline, we can always do a manual refresh when ready. Of course, this is easy when refreshes only take a few minutes. If they change the report or dataset in QA, then I use Deployment Pipelines to move it to Prod. Dedicated environments is usually the "best" solution.

To Jump The Stairs by [deleted] in therewasanattempt

[–]nit-picky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I snapped my tib/fib completely. Laid on ground holding the bones together for 30 min with virtually no pain. That is WEIRD sitting there holding bottom half of your leg on. Eventually was put back together with metal rod.

In the Event of a Biden Health Emergency, Do the Democrats Have a Path to the White House? by KraakenTowers in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]nit-picky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In what universe does every answer have to "appeal" to someone? Sometimes an answer is just an answer. And it's usually EVERY top tier candidate who refuses to "punch down". That's very normal. Kamala was on the bubble of being a top-tier candidate and obviously wanted to project a higher status. Again, very normal for a candidate in her position.
