This seems like a great price to me, but I haven't been looking long: https://www.bmwofmurray.com/used/BMW/2025-BMW-iX-13cc8438ac182624a36828a771a7ec03.htm

$54k for a 2025 iX with 42k miles. Has DAPP, which is the only thing I really care about, but also has the professional package, ventilated seats, radiant package. Has lived its life in Utah, so...snow? Rust? Went into service a little over a year ago and has been listed for sale for 2 days. Looking at visor.vin, this looks like the cheapest 2025 in the country, and I just happen to be in the area for work this week so I can test drive it. They're quoting around 2k to ship it home so I don't have to drive it to the east coast.

I know lo

Desired behavior: Vibration and visual notification pop-up occur simultaneously, like they do on the phone.

Actual behavior: Vibration occurs, then I twist my wrist to look at the watch face, then sometimes the visual notification pops up several seconds later. Sometimes, the visual notification doesn't appear at all, and I have to vigorously twist my wrist multiple times for it to show up.

Is there a setting I can change so there's no delay, or is this expected behavior? My old Sony SmartWatch 3 running an ancient version of WearOS didn't have this issue...or maybe it did and my memory is faulty.

I'm reading the original Stephen King script for the X-Files episode "Chinga," about a haunted doll, and it says "Chinga's exact look is up to production, but she ought to have a distinctive dress, lots of blonde arnel hair, and those creepy doll's eyes that open when you stand the doll up and close when you lay her down."

I've never heard of "arnel hair." All the references I can find to it online are from Stephen King books:

Desperation (one of my favorites, btw): " The archway had been boarded up, but at some point the boards had been pulled away and heaped to either side of it. Hanging from the top of the arch was a mostly d

Trying to remember a specific cartoon character.

  • 1990s-early 2000s cartoon like Gargoyles or Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles, less likely Futurama
  • evil
  • white, balding, with maybe orange hair on the side (I think - might be confusing him with Dr. Robotnik)
  • entire body from neck down is encased in a silver quasi-steampunk closed vat with hydraulics
  • only his head is visible
  • I don't think he was the main baddie, more of a henchman

The memory was triggered by this thing from Raised By Wolves (on HBO, give episode 1 a try, what do you have to lose?):

r/Ebay•

edit: Solved, thanks! Turns out eBay is holding off on issuing defects for shipping issues during COVID.

​

Original post: Bought a $200 item, got a tracking link. It was supposed to be delivered on the 13th from two states away. It made its way to my state, but it's hung up at some distribution center in another city 2 hours away ever since. I opened a case with the seller on eBay because I thought they would need to be the ones to sort it out with USPS. USPS is saying that this is just par for the course because of COVID, that the package isn't lost, it's just delayed. Honestly, I do think it's lost but...

Here's the thing, none of this is the fault of the seller, and I di

Graduating in the spring (SO PUMPED), so this is likely my last chance to score a student discount on anything. Amazon Prime is obvious. Already got a year of free YNAB (budgeting software, sign up info here: http://youneedabudget.com/landing/students/). Signed up for the professional societies. Couldn't find anything for Costco... Any recommendations I haven't thought of?

Welp, it's happened. I've finally exhausted the three main EM question banks, and I'm on my last EM rotation. Are there any other question banks/question books out there, or is EM Secrets and EM Case Files just about all that's left? I've read through the CDEM curriculum.

(Yeah, I know, probably don't need more at this point, but this rotation has a really high cut-off for the SAEM test... Must get over 91 to get Honors. I took a custom paper version of the SAEM test a couple months ago and didn't quite hit that mark.)

Thanks, friends! Hope everyone's having a great time in their rotations!
