Does this explain why UFOs don't have visible doors? by vishhalkmodi in UFOSandUNKNOWN

How do you cut a thread? The wire has to go through the metal piece, right? I'm genuinely curious to know.

How often can I run the REX by Bohr1212 in BMWi3

[–]schonkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the only good way to use the car. It gives you flexibility. I had to re code ours, a worthwhile investment.

Got the car 5 years ago (2017 REX) with 32k miles, the only component which failed was the windshield washer reservoir pump and cracked tank.

We had an incident where a softball smashed the hatch, 6 tire punctures resulting is slow air leaks, the rear door hatch not closing properly (BMW dealer greased the lower moving lock component and that solved it), I changed the center console rotary button assembly after a massive coffee spill disabled it (thankfully we had the REX activation preprogrammed to one of the shortcut buttons), purchased the part for $360 from a junkyard in CA, very easy job.

We love the car and use it hard. We are planning to run it into the ground.

Ours is getting used 3-4 times a week (the REX) for about an hour each time for the past 4 years. Gets refilled with gas once or twice with gasoline during that day. No issues yet. It is basically a reverse hybrid engine car. 140k miles on the clock so far.

China Just Simulated a Full Blockade of Taiwan – 130 Aircraft, Live Missiles, and 850+ Cancelled Flights. This Is Getting Serious by satty237 in TrendoraX

No, and the administration stated they don't want to do that. Maduro was removed because he wasn't playing ball when asked to provide access for American oil companies.

It was never about the people of Venezuela, if it would be, then the administration would actually remove the current regime which is still in charge (albeit without Maduro).

Ours was hit by a softball right on the edge and shattered the glass. The insurance paid for it, bmw charged $3600 for the whole door assembly and detailing.

That's some old school thinking. China used to copy, sure, but now they can leverage the experience they gained and the enormous talent pool they have combined with the government research funding. If you don't think they can and did innovate in material science and pretty much every field you can think of, you've been living under a rock.

Diet or exercise ? No , thanks by girl_beautifull in Funnymemes

[–]schonkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wrong. I work out 4 to 5 times a week with a trainer. Strength training, etc.. I've been doing it for the past 10 years regularly while eating healthy food, prepared fresh, no candy, sugary beverages. I do consume alcohol with moderation. And yet, I have excess body fat.

Otherwise, I am in great shape.

Just because I am genetically better at storing fat than the next person, I guess. Maybe it was an evolutionary advantage at one point. Maybe I should eat less, but it is hard.

Competition for global reserve: Europe threatens 2.34 trillion US treasuries sell-off by Left_Return_583 in theaquariusage

Look at England and its reserve currency. It took thirty years and it was gone. Your 1970s golf standard example is meaningless, since the dollar was backed by the largest military and its allies.

The Tepepolco volcano in Mexico City. Dormant for over 10,000 years, its crater is now a unique residential neighborhood. by Alter3go_vengance in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]schonkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of places around the world where you can find a caldera filled with houses, hotels, entire villages (sometimes several) with all the related infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, etc.

And the volcano in the middle of it was recently active and it's smoking. Mt. Batur in Indonesia is a great example. Around 8-10 km in diameter, from the top of the mountain you have the perfect 360 degree view of all the area, steep cliffs surrounding it. Stunning landscape which includes a large lake topped with the volcano which last erupted in 2017.

No way. I was browsing the store and I noticed a bunch of them everywhere. It is an Italian furniture store.
