my new sunglasses are polarized slightly offset of the heads-up display on my bmw. so i have to tilt my head to read the speed, or even (god forbid) look at the instrument panel.

This has been a problem since as long as I can remember, I'm honestly amazed that the good engineers in Munich haven't figured out that you can't see shit in their cars with polarized lenses on.
Fact. Normal scrolling intuition would be down = left and up = right, or surely, when you're presented with the horizontal scrolling option that left to move left and right to move right would be correct, especially with the right hand controlling, right? No, it's exactly the opposite depending on what menu you're in on the MMI, and I swear it changes from screen to screen.
Do they sell shift knobs as well?I still call it The Jake.

The knob is (virtually) in the middle of the display. Which way you spin depends on where the selections are in relation to the middle of the display.
I have a friend who, whenever I mention that my car is or was in the shop, says in a high pitched terrible German accent: “ze Audi is FOCKED!!”focus.

When your dinghy (tender) is so big it requires it's own $1,000 a night boat slip..... mothership is in the background.

Home Depot removed the aisle and bay # information from their web site so now you have to install their app if you want product locations inside their stores.

supposedly they are developing something bigger. because why the fuck not, I guess.
I just read the 627's are almost $90 grand each. Almost half a million dollars worth of engines on that transom^^

I'm not a boater, but I guess the reason for 5 engines is if 4 engines fail you can still get back to shore, albeit a bit slower?

I’m sure some outboard expert can tell me but I always assumed that there would be some kind of residual drag issues once you get anywhere above 2 engines, ie one prop spinning slower than the others or multiples not spinning at the same rate.

Like trying to synchronize the carbs on an old Jag V12?
My other concern would be when you eventually hit a rock strewn sandbar at low tide you've done fucked up 5 props.
On the subject of boating, I have a friend who has some boats. I dunno what he's got but one of them is big with a blue hull and it has an engine room, another is for fishing, and the third one is for sailing. He'd have four but one sunk after the last hurricane. He also has some jet skis, and wanted to know if I'd like to jet ski with him from LI to CT. As a non boater this sounds risky to me. So I'd like to get a call on this from the boating pros before agreeing to this adventure.Last edited by Timberridge; 07-08-2020 at 08:55 AM.
