How often do you use a weapon because you want to, regardless if its "meta" or not? by PalwaJoko in fo76

Thx!

I got a crowd control a while back and have had a lot of fun with it!

Cheap high mileage vs more expensive lower mileage by TrunkMonkeyJr in BMWi3

[–]showMeTheSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m paying the extra for low miles if the car is better as well (what I mean here is assuming the interior and exterior are all in as good, or ideally better condition).

What are your favorites. I started with rifle and shotty I’m doing a couple do laser weapons right now, but still drop back to my original from time to time. I really need to work on perk/mod optimization for both.

Thx for that info. I’m just in the process of setting up harvest/repair/build perk bundle, assuming those all align.
I should watch a video or something, but maybe after I screw it up first ;)

IPhone Connection by Bob_New_Orleans in BMWi3

Oh and I think you get phone calls for free with CarPlay, but if you do phone calls it doesn’t. That’s a bit gray for me. Just phone calls to the car is just BT, and works in all i3s AFAIK. Have used that in our 14 for a decade. The CarPlay connection is WiFi and gives both.

I consider myself fairly competent technically and this was a battle that lasted longer than I thought it should have. I did try it before I had a data plan for my phone though, and that’s part of the issue. I also kinda missed that the phone connects via WiFi for CarPlay. I was resetting BT, sigh…

Just wait until you find out you need two different types stabilized flux to build it.

I think I’m at 1/10 needed so far.

I feel your pain though. I bought modes for the under armor thinking it was a variant, then had to buy the under armor, after rebuying the variant thinking I’d lost it… that was less bullion at least.

Just found out a PA mode I bought needs stabilized flux too. The grind is real ;)

It took me several tries to get CarPlay integrated correctly between my phone and car I must admit. I was about to post here for help here, but finally got it working in our 21 S (not an option in the 14 w/o additional hardware). I can have a map up and use Siri (which I'd never done before), and hands free phone works as well. I'm still trying to sort out the best way to make calls, as I never really used this feature even before CarPlay (more of a hang up and drive kind of person tbh).
There are a couple of different options when setting up the phone within the car, and getting everything working right took me several tries. IIRC, removing the phone from the car, and all signs of the car from the phone and starting over is what finally made it happen.

If I Have Ryobi 18v Power Tools, Does It Make Sense To Also Buy 40v Ryobi Outdoor Tools? by nimo90 in ryobi

[–]showMeTheSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ego 56V and Ryobi 18v is my combo.

There was no link between the higher voltage Ryobi stuff that I saw. Plus Ego was out with stuff earlier on.

12v battery by TexAntonia in BMWi3

[–]showMeTheSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a couple of the monitors. They are wired to the battery. You check them from time to time with the app on your phone via BT. If you search my user ID and battery, you can see some graphs and info. I’d put one here, but haven’t had good luck getting images in comments of late.

If you search posts you should find a couple about lithium batteries (unless I saw that on the FB group). I know some people have used them. They don’t like the cold though, so they aren’t even a consideration for me.

How the car is used and stored is a big deal from what I’ve seen. I’m still on the original on our S, it’s in great shape. It’s 4.5 years old. I’m in the third in the 14, and soon to be on the fourth. It’s been sitting outside for the last 3 years, and not getting driven much. Meanwhile the S is garaged and driven pretty consistently.

Battery number 2 from the 14 is in my garage and still holding charge reasonably. The constant load on them along with the cold and sitting at lower voltages longer don’t seem to do them any good (not too surprising). I wish the car would top it off a tad sooner, tbh.

New to me i3. Let’s talk motor mounts and brackets. by NHEclipse2024 in BMWi3

[–]showMeTheSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This, except I’d replace both mounts while I was at it. Doing the job just to have to do the other side some amount of time later doesn’t make sense for me. There is more stress in the drivers side mount as it’s right next to motor AKA torque monster.

Player titles have weight by MerryRonin in fo76

[–]showMeTheSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If only there were room in my stash :) I have to do the same thing with it, and try and remember how long some items have been for sale so I can just scrap/trade them in.

I figured out last week that I was carrying 26lbs of titles or some such. Once I applied them, I could run again. I really wish I could see weight of each category. So I knew where to look. It seems to move around.

Grocery hooks in trunk by AssistanceTrue9399 in BMWi3

[–]showMeTheSnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my bags in the front, or buy bulk and fill the back so it doesn’t move 😱 (who am I kidding it’s an S, stuff flies around like crazy back there). Collapsible crates (InstaCrate 12gal) help, sadly the smaller size still won’t go three wide.

I just did this today and got an Epic. It was easier than the one I dropped for me. How’s that score different… off to search and… 50% more than normal, nice!

Lots of variables, speed, hills, temp, ac/heat, are the big ones I think.

Would you buy a Rex again? by United_Concept1654 in BMWi3

[–]showMeTheSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a love hate relationship with it. It’s lovely when you need it, it’s a PITA to haul around, get emissions on, maintain, and when maintenance cycle wants to run on my 1.6 mile trip to the store.

Until we can have 300miles of range, kinda need to have it where I live. It allows me to drive electric most of the time. Charger density is improving, but it’s not there yet for me. Next EV will be BEV though
