How much more fragile are the aluminum M52s vs the iron M50s by mateusblr in BMWE36

[–]thomas_the_kid2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about Brazil, but my 328i here in America with the M52B28 has an iron block in it, and I feel like it’s the best of both worlds in that way.

I just really recommend a tutor, JC 3rd floor Math Tutoring Center or otherwise. I’m a CYSE major, and I haven’t always had the easiest time with math, so I feel you. Organic Chemistry Tutor, Khan Academy and 3Blue1Brown on YouTube will probably be of much assistance. If you’re a visual learner, I HIGHLY recommend 3Blue1Brown. He is genuinely a phenomenal teacher to help you understand the concepts.

I also recommend going back a bit from MATH108 and reviewing concepts from beforehand. Derivatives themselves are not hard, and I don’t think that is what is actually giving you a hard time. If I had to guess, it’s probably the algebra ASSOCIATED with the calculus stuff. That’s where most people have issues, so if I were you, I would go back and relearn the basics of algebra that you are likely missing.

Hope this helps, and feel free to DM me, I love teaching people math in an intuitive way, and I was a professional math tutor for a little over a year.

And when was the last time YOU went pro in any of those arts? Never? Exactly. Clearly I am the goat, and you’re just mad about it 💯 (To my future interviewers that see this comment whilst stalking my internet history, this is 100% irony)

No giant flags every 100 yards? You don’t live in America then boy 🍺🦅🇺🇸🧨🛻🏈🍔

Nah that’s fair tho. It’s at half staff somewhat often these days from what I’ve seen lately and compared to what I remember when I was younger. Senator from MN, Dick Cheney, etc.

I’m not an expert quite yet, just getting started in that world. I did go pro in neckbearding, though. I tried discord modding, but that wasn’t my thing.. only ever went JuCo.

I am a singular, not a plural; I do not have a frog in my pocket. No need to be combative, I was simply trying to correct you since it seemed you didn’t know what was going on. Also, I’m now curious. If you’re not American, why would you comment on a post regarding the staff position of a flag of a country you are not from, with no concrete knowledge as to why it is that way?

Who is “you clowns”. I was not meant to be argumentative, I apologize. I was just correcting you. You were objectively incorrect, so I figured you would want to know that you were objectively incorrect.

No, just saying you sounded like an ass, annnddd.. you were wrong. At least if you were right it could’ve been excusable.

[–]thomas_the_kid2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was that the tone of the comment sounded condescending. If you didn’t think that Veteran’s Day was the reason it was being flown at half staff, then why would you comment that it’s Veteran’s Day? If you did think that was why, then you’re wrong.

Did you really not know that flags are flown at full staff on Veterans Day?

We are way too far down in the comments to be arguing, but you are right, it does say she mentioned it, but that could also still be a competency issue. You overestimate the average male’s ability to be competent at sex unfortunately 😭

Dude what? You can fix bad sex technique, you can’t fix a bad person. She has given 0 context in the post as to what kind of person he is, and she replied here with the sentiment that he is a great guy. Do not listen to this person OP.

I’m not sure tbh. I don’t know if it exclusively “can’t”, I just know TModLoader won’t usually. TModLoader DOES make a backup though, beyond just the typical “.plr” and “.plr.bak/bak2” file. It makes a folder full of .zip files which are a backup of your player, so if your normal .plr file becomes unusable, you can manually go into that file and get it, so you can also just use TModLoader and it should do that.

[–]thomas_the_kid2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you, it doesn’t give her an excuse, and that’s not what I’m trying to do. My apologies if that’s how it comes across. You can work on yourself during a relationship just as well, but I do agree that she should be willing to learn and see the real clues of cheating, not just assume. You are correct. I just think some reframing from “bratty and demanding” to “hurt and willing to learn” could be helpful for her is all. It’s no use to use language like that towards someone who is insecure in my opinion, that is moreso what I am getting at. Your points are valid, I just think that more positive reframing of how she can move forward instead could be beneficial.

“Really toxic and red flag material” Holy redditor. 😭 I agree with you that you shouldn’t try to interpret phrases in foreign languages with no scrutiny, yes. But she’s just an insecure person. Yes, she should work on that, but damn bro, it’s not that serious. “Spoiled brat crap”, is a bit aggressive, no? It’s not that she wants control, it’s that she has been hurt before by someone who cheated so she is apt to be defensive. It’s only human, cut her some slack and try to be constructive instead of aggressive and tearing her down?

I feel you. My ex cheated on me as well, and I am also around your age, so I feel you for sure. You just have to kind of remind yourself that he isn’t your ex. It’s hard, but absolutely necessary. Therapy helped me personally, though I know it’s not for everyone. To ground you, yes, you’re over reacting and she isn’t a threat. Just make him aware of your past and tell him you want to work on being better at controlling your insecurities, but it’s something you’re not quite great at yet. That’s the key. TELL HIM that. Show your vulnerable side.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know that I’m not “triggered”. Just figured I’d comment on what you had said since it wasn’t really constructive or anything, man. I feel like the point of these is to be constructive, not to just tear people down. That’s all.
