Just following up on this, went ahead and did the coding with RJ. Added the auto multibeam high-beam lights and the Distronic radar cruise. General note, the biggest pain was that they are in the UK so the time slots for coding are not convenient for US times. I wound up doing it with them at 2am, which worked out ok for me as I was awake from jet lag anyways. I think you can book roughly their 5pm to be your 7-8am? Wouldn't be awful then. The multibeam auto high beams are super cool. This car already had the best headlights I've experienced, and I was already impressed with how fluid and seamless the light movement into corners was as you turn the wheel. The high beams are just as seamless, they turn on automatically, you don't really know when they turn on and off (other than the indicator in corner of gauge cluster), but you never get flashed by any traffic. The only complaint is they aren't sensitive enough to road signs up high and sometimes they stay on and glare off the sign quite badly, but that sensor may be confused by my window banner tint (I am not sure where the sensor is.) For the Distronic, my GLS required swapping the button assembly on the steering wheel. Easy, clear instructions and YT video were provided, parts arrived from UK same week. I marred up the access hole on the back of the steering wheel when inserting a tool to remove the airbag, but it's something only I'll ever see and know about. The actual coding was super easy. They mail you a programming dongle, you provide a laptop with Anydesk (and obviously need to have some data security comfort in letting some random stranger take over your PC for a while and do shit that is invisible to you). Laptop needs to have internet during coding, so you need to park somewhere with wifi or tether a hotspot. But then you connect the laptop to the car OBD2 via their dongle, give them the Anydesk code, they connect, and you just sit there and wait. In my case I had to turn the IGN off and on for a few seconds at one point in the middle of process, and then I had to immediately take the car for a ~15min drive without shutting it off when they finished so the Distronic radar could recalibrate itself. I think the coding itself took 15min or so, and then the drive. Was home and done in 45min, after driving around a bit extra just to play with the auto high beams. Did a few other "usability preference" codes since they included some free coding credits with my Distronic, stuff like "remember engine stop-start setting" and "64color ambient lighting" - exciting stuff, I know. Here's the full list of coding options they can do, apply to most modern Mercedes Benz: https://rjautomotive.net/pages/coding-options

Is Wally really Cramer? Details at 10.

I want this in an audiobook.

Fucking this! Screens are more than 1024x768 now!

There is no fucking way I'd name my sock 'gurt' Jeezus

Does look better than eating canned food for the rest of my life, tbh...

Dumb and Dumber.

I think we have different definitions of 'metric'

No, mine sucks. My IBRX is at 12.91

Re-ran it, I think I misread one of the "I would not mind if." Here's the correct #asian chart. Couple other questions that were ridiculous to me, and definite indicator that some people have never been hungry or poor, and that this test was created by Westerners: Banana with black spots?? That's how you know they're the perfect ripeness! Items that have had mold cut off? Must be nice to have the luxury to throw the whole piece away and get another one. Overripe fruit? I grew up with my grandpa, we would go to local fruit sellers and ask them for their overripe discard fruit because it was cheap/free. Chew irregular bits of meat? Pig ear cartilage and chicken knuckle cartilage are two of my favorite street foods. Nauseating to see a whole fish with head attached? Are you fucking kidding me? See my posts elsewhere about Vietnamese/Asian new year and the chicken MUST have its head attached. Fish is the same, always head to tail, complete.

Suck it, #Asian. And I suspect the 3% I misread the question in haste. Some of these were genuine LOL questions. Sushi, raw meat, food from a stranger? What in the actual fuck?

Flat sheets. Duvet cover 4tw.

lol seeking alpha

Transitory inflation.

That's actually more research and info than I've done on any of my stonks, I say give him $10k to put into it.

BMW drivers gonna BMW.

You mean losing 92%. And having to gain back...uh...a lot.

Came in here hoping it would be a thread about Point Break.

Meh, I hate the Benz stalk shifter as well.

Wrong thread. This belongs in the '8 Goddamn Wonders of the World' thread.

If you say it sucks, I'll sign you up for a dick pics newsletter.

I'd sign for a free guitar any day!

Yeah, we all know it's because women drivers.

I think the cold meat sandwich is a euphemism, and he needs to get a bit better at foreplay?
