The underground miles morales

Hi E90,
I need this community's help. My wife and I have decided on the truck and van combo for our family. My 2008 335i will be the 3rd car, and I'm in a dilemma to either keep or sell my BMW.
On one hand, the 6 speed MT brings me joy, and I think I'll continue to have fun driving it with some potential upgrades and modifications (wheels, tires, Dinan mods). That's if I can find enough money to cover the upgrades.
Alternatively, I won't be driving the BMW much, and can't warrant paying extra for insurance, mods and upgrades, especially when the car is getting up there in age. I also don't want to risk having to make any additional repairs.
Here's the detail on my car:

• 99k miles
• Fully maintained at every internal, replaced turbos, replaced water pump, repaired suspension
• Really clean interior and exterior, with some minor bumper scratches and paint deterioration
• Work needed - new tires and rims ($1500)
• Car is probably worth $8k as is

So what would you do?

1. Keep the car - pay for new wheels and tires, continue paying car insurance for 3 cars, upgrade w/ Dinan and beat the car up for a couple more years, risk paying for costly upgrades?
2. Sell the car for $8k and go all-in on the truck and van

Thanks everybody!

The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic that tells the story of a great war that took place between two groups of cousins, the Kauravas and the Pandavas. The epic is divided into 18 books, or parvas, and contains over 100,000 verses. It is one of the most important texts in Hinduism and has been an inspiration to many generations of Indians.
The Mahabharata begins with the story of King Shantanu, who falls in love with a beautiful woman named Ganga. Ganga agrees to marry him on the condition that he never questions her actions, no matter what they may be. They have a son named Devavrata, who later becomes known as Bhishma.
Bhishma is a great warrior and leader, but he remains unmarried in order to fulfill a promise he made to his father to never marry and produce an heir. This decision leads to a succession crisis when Shantanu dies and Bhishma's half-brother, Vichitravirya, becomes king. Vichitravirya is unable to produce an heir, so Bhishma arranges for him to marry two princesses, Amba and Ambika.
However, Vichitravirya dies soon after the marriages and leaves no heir. Bhishma then arranges for Ambika and Ambalika to be impregnated by his own son, Vyasa, in order to produce heirs for the throne. Ambika gives birth to a blind son, Dhritarashtra, and Ambalika gives birth to a weak and sickly son, Pandu.
Despite their disabilities, both Dhritarashtra and Pandu are chosen to become kings, with Pandu ultimately becoming the more successful of the two. Pandu has five sons, who become known as the Pandavas: Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva. Dhritarashtra has one hundred sons, who become known as the Kauravas, the most prominent of whom are Duryodhana and Dushasana.
The rivalry between the Pandavas and the Kauravas begins early in their lives, with Duryodhana constantly trying to harm or kill his cousins. This eventually leads to a game of dice between the two sides, with the Pandavas losing everything they have, including their kingdom, to the Kauravas. In addition, Draupadi, the wife of the Pandavas, is humiliated by Duryodhana and his brothers.
The Pandavas are forced to live in exile for thirteen years, during which time they make alliances with various powerful allies, including the god Krishna. They eventually return to reclaim their kingdom, but the Kauravas refuse to give it up. This leads to a great war, the Kurukshetra War, in which both sides suffer heavy losses.
The war lasts for eighteen days, and many great warriors are killed, including Bhishma, Drona, and Karna. In the end, the Pandavas emerge victorious, but at a great cost. Yudhishthira becomes king, but is wracked with guilt over the deaths of so many people.
The Mahabharata is not just a story of war and conflict, however. It also contains many important teachings on morality and ethics. For example, the Bhagavad Gita, which is a part of the Mahabharata, contains the teachings of the god Krishna to Arjuna on the nature of duty and the meaning of life.

Honestly what the fuck Walgreens. It doesn’t matter I’m a hard worker, show up to my shifts, have a great attitude and always going the extra mile for customers at the end of the day it’s all about a fucking credit card.
I got told to tell customers they can use the Mastercard one to pay their bills and I just can’t believe this is the focus of a company. Can’t wait to drop off this sinking ship of a company.

If you are reading this, it is me again haha. I know, but no matter how many times I've been disappointed by men, I keep trying and I still put myself out there :(
165cm (5'4), latina (you know what they say about latinas) and a teacher.
I love cooking, going for walks, listening to music and reading. I love spending time with my family and friends. I've not been lucky when it comes to love. I'm a romantic and kinda old school. Maybe Reddit is not the best place to find my future favorite person, but who knows, dating apps and real life dating hasn't led me to my person.
I wish I could find someone who matches my energy, someone who I can feel protected with, someone who can make me laugh, but mostly, someone who respects my moral values and someone who I can grow old with (look at this for reference). I am not that picky when it comes to physical appearance but, Pocahontas set my bar when it comes to men, John Smith, hahaha. Yes, I have a weakness for men and for military men (kinda unrealistic I KNOW, but who doesn't love cute men in uniform) Why? Maybe we can discuss that over dinner, but if you want to make your research, on TikTok there are pretty good videos explaining why.
Jokes aside, dating these days is a jungle.
If you finished reading my post, thanks. If you want to talk with me, **include a picture of you, not random dudes from internet (catfishing sucks)** also I don't want us to waste our time, if you plan on disappearing after a conversation, please let's avoid that.
SERIOUSLY: Idc how much your marriage sucks, if you are "going through a divorce" and all of those things. **Do not contact me.**

I'm moving from Rocklin to Roseville (one mile away). Last August I paid over $880 for electricity and gas (PG&E). The seller of the Roseville house said he paid $130 last August (keeping his house at 69 degrees). Is it possible that Roseville rates are really that much lower?

So there I was looting around the office area just outside of the D2 mechanical room. It’s was maybe 7min into raid.
I thought to myself, “I still have a decent amount of time left in this raid. Maybe I will be able to make it to the bunker and back to extract with all this delicious loot.”
I was finding some decent loot, when a couple chads decided to descend the silo/shaft from the observatory.
I got the slip on them both. Shot ultra Chad in the back of the head from below the mezzanine where all the tech spawns are and servers are tipped over.
Dropped him first shot. Right in the doorway of the office.
His buddy, Giga Chad II ….
…Scrambled, terrified that there was a rat 🐀 in the mechanical room. Camping. Waiting to feast on his kit.
…he tossed a smoke first… then a flash, then tossed a ‘nade in. After about 30 seconds of watching his wasted efforts. He ran the downstairs to where I was and I opened fire…
clickety-clack I shot him in the head … to no avail my PS ammunition ricocheted off of his helmet. …So I went full auto in his chest, got seven or so onto the target, when this GigaChad ….jumped …straight up in the air and blasted me twice to get me. Ending my life.
M61 against a lvl 5 armor.
I clapped at the outrage and exclaimed garbage!
As my girlfriend and life partner looked at me as if I was a wild beast.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Stamina should be reduced when shot in the chest point blank making it so you can’t “call of duty jump” like a pussy.
End of suggestion. Thanks for reading.

I currently have an xr650l. Done lots of long road trips. 2 times Oregon to new mexico and back, 3 days 1way. New mex to Chicago and back 2 days 1way. Long story short, the 650 can handle it, would be way more comfortable on a harley but everyone has their own pain tolerance. Anyways, I'm lookin for a new bike, I wanna get an xr650r, way better than the L. But I kinda like the 450 too. Anyone have any roadtrip experience on a 450? Would they hold up to the 80mph for hours and hours? I'd imagine the 650 is an obvious choice for long highway miles.
Well obviously any dirtbike is not a good choice for hours and hours of highway, but I think the best dual sport is a dirtbike. Comfort is subjective. Don't tell me to get a KLR, and please don't tell me to get one of those BMWs.

Ran out of gas on I-76 in Pennsylvania. We just need $20. We have a gas can. After walking almost 2 miles to the nearest service plaza, my card was declined at the pump. Theres nobody here, this place is a ghost town. We still have about 100 miles left until we are home. Thanks so much for taking the time to look. I have Cashapp. Will repay $30 tomorrow.

I've never read the "king of scars" duology. So this is about the character in the show.
So in S2 they just glossed over the fact that Zoya bullied Alina, simply because "now we are on the same side"? Isn't that the "logic" of so many Trump supporters? They can overlook all the terrible things he did and said, simply because they are "on the same side"? Isn't this one of the big problems in American politics, people rooting for their "sides" instead of rooting for justice and morality?
I know there are a lot of "king of scars" fans here, and I'll probably get down voted, but...

I'm a huge fan of live sports (I used to have season tickets to both football and basketball, and would go to the occasional hockey game too). But I hadn't gone to a single sporting event since having kids.
My 4 year old son happily watches sports with me on TV, and is currently most obsessed with hockey. He saw a Blippi video about an ice rink, and was immediately hooked. I took him ice skating last month, and although I had to spend the entire time hunched over holding onto him, he loved every minute of it. For about a month, his favorite toy was a toy Zamboni I bought him.
After celebrating Michigan making it to the Frozen Four this past weekend, I got a little too drunk and decided to impulse-buy two tickets to my local NHL team, with the intention of trying to take my son. My dad used to take me to hockey games before he passed away and they were some of the fondest memories from my youth. I had no idea how my son would handle it, but I figured "you'll never know unless you try", and figured worst case scenario I was out $140.
The next morning when I sobered up, I immediately regretted it. Will he be overwhelmed by all the people? How is he going to handle all the bright lights and loud music? Will he be able to sit still in his seat at all, or will we need to leave immediately? What if he poops himself while we're there, does the arena even allow you to bring bags of stuff with you? How far away will we have to park? Can he walk that far, or will I need to carry him without a stroller? I was seriously considering not going, but my wife convinced me to try it out anyways, so I hesitantly did.
I had no idea what to expect. Anything from "completely overwhelmed total meltdown" to "quietly watches it all in amazement" seemed a possibility. But I'm happy to report that everything went great! Even better than my best case scenario!
We told him for the past few days that he would be going to a hockey game with daddy, and he was very excited about it. On the drive there, we got stuck in traffic for 25 unexpected minutes (which normally really annoys him), but he wasn't bothered. He just kept repeating "let's go to the hockey game". We got there late because of the traffic, so had to park about half a mile away. I was expecting I'd need to carry him most of the way, but he walked it all by himself, holding my hand the entire time. He even walked all the stairs up to the upper section.
He spent most of the time looking around taking in everything. The music and lights didn't seem to bother him at all. There was even an obnoxious fan of the opposing team sitting literally right in front of him who didn't seem to bother him. At several points, he turned to me and said "I'm feeling happy. I love you", which completely melted my heart.
We left after 2 periods (after letting him watch the Zambonis in the 2nd intermission) when he started getting a little antsy, and it was already way past bedtime. I had to carry him back to the car because it was raining, but even getting wet didn't seem to bother him.
The worst part of the entire evening was that the home team lost. I couldn't belive that was the only thing worth complaining about.

my hypothesis about the visions of muhammad: the visions of muhammad are the product of exposure to natural gas (and other types) in caves and underground, gases that affected his brain and drugged him into believing that he saw things

I guess I find it weird that people are arguing about the nature of consciousness so much in this without intimately connecting it to free will —not in the moral sense, but rather that as conscious beings we have agency to make decisions — considering the dominant materialist viewpoint necessarily endorses free will, doesn’t it?
Like we have a Punnett square, with free will or determinism*, and materialism and non-materialism:

1. Free will exists, materialism is true — our conscious experience helps us make decisions, as these decisions are real decisions that actually matter in terms of our survival. It is logically consistent, but it makes decisions about how the universe works that are not necessarily true.
2. Free will exists, non-materialism is true — while this is as consistent as number one, it doesn’t seem to fit to Occam’s razor and adds unnecessary elements to the universe — leads to the interaction problem with dualism, why is the apparently material so persistent in an idealistic universe, etc.
3. Free will does not exist, non-materialism is true. This is the epiphenominalist position — we are spectators, ultimately victims of the universe as we watch a deterministic world unfold. This position is strange, but in a backwards way makes sense, as how consciousness would arise if ultimately decisions were not decisions but in the end mechanical.
4. Free will does not exist, materialism is true — this position seems like nonsense to me. I cannot imagine why consciousness would arise materially in a universe where decisions are ultimately made mechanically. This seems to be the worst possible world.

*I really hate compatibilism but in this case we are not talking about “free will” in the moral sense but rather in the survival sense, so compatibilism would be a form of determinism in this matrix.
I realize this is simplistic, but essentially it boils down to something I saw on a 2-year-old post: Determinism says we’re NPCs. NPCs don’t need qualia. So why do we have them? Is there a reason to have qualia that is compatible with materialism where it is not involved in decision making?

I got it started and road for about 15 miles. I came home did an oil change and it won’t start at all. With or without choke. Battery is fully charged and checked. It reads 12.4v and turns on all the lights on the bike. The bike started without choke 4 times before dying completely. Spark plugs are new, new oil, air filter clean and oiled up, and I changed the Voltage Regulator Rectifier since I heard noise coming from that area. The bike did not crank before the new Voltage Regulator Rectifier. The noise stopped and the bike wants to turn on. Battery was fully charged once I installed a new Voltage Regulator Rectifier. Now the oil light comes on every time I turn on the ignition but bike won’t start. It will crank and and you can hear the exhaust start to purr but wont start. Any ideas?

Apologies in advance if this is placed in the wrong subreddit or is redundant.
I am in the market for a new car, and interested in purchasing a Model 3. I am tempted by the thought of purchasing from Tesla directly, mostly because of the extended additional 1 year of warranty they offer, in addition to just the overall convenience.
Here are a few questions I had:

• Warranty periods: How influential should the warranty period in the purchasing decision? For example, a used 2019 at $31K vs a used 2022 at $40K? Is it worth the premium?
• Standard vs Long Range: I think assuming minimal battery degradation, anything above 200 miles would be sufficient, but I'm not sure how to account for degradation over time, or how weather can influence day-to-day ranges.
• Heat pump: I have read the heat pump are only available in models 2021 and newer. I live in California where the temperature is moderate year-round. Should I consider this more of a "nice to have" but not completely necessary?
• Anything else I am not thinking of?

Also assume that I wouldn't be eligible for the federal tax credit if purchasing new, and am unlikely to move to a drastically different climate in the near-term.

I heard people say that the photo mode was bugged for the underground sections, but they worked fine for me. Did anyone else not have a problem with them working underground either?
