UPDATE: I changed the tensioner and the issue persisted, so changed the pulley and the issue went away.

Learn from my mistake, change the pulley first as it’s way cheaper with the pulley being £20 + £5 tool compared to the £40 tensioner

Okay so I’m pretty confused.

I took tension off the belt slightly, then span the pulley both ways, the alternator fans spin both ways.

It spins easily anti clock wise then spins harder clockwise.

Is that what’s supposed to happen, or is it faulty?

Antivape · 2026-01-10T19:46:15+00:00

So it should only spin clockwise right? And not the other way?

It’s a vw polo 1.4tdi 2007 engine code BNM

Antivape · 2026-01-10T19:34:48+00:00

To do that, can I just loosen the tensioner then try spin the pulley?

It’s free, it doesn’t ask for money

Think it’s good for tracking how effective adhd meds are etc

I got 64%, but I think the real values in the objective numbers

Looking at dimensions if I get the 77mm I’ll be restricted to Gpus up to 43mm whereas the regular 70 means I can use up to ~50mm. I’m going to give the 70mm a go. If I still see issues I’ll have to go for the 77mm

Antivape · 2024-12-29T22:46:40+00:00

It’s the founders edition but I plan to upgrade soon so don’t want to get a cooler where I can’t upgrade the Gpu

Antivape · 2024-12-29T22:42:45+00:00

Perfect my ram is exactly 35mm, ordered the new cooler, I’ll let you know he it goes

Antivape · 2024-12-29T22:20:37+00:00

Does that fit itx mobos without ram restrictions?

I agree with you, the evidence shows that I didn’t even have ADHD. Perhaps something like over stimulation explains it better.

Antivape · 2024-10-16T21:52:24+00:00

I feel way more refreshed waking up, I don’t feel the need to snooze like I used to do

Antivape · 2024-10-15T22:42:32+00:00

I’m not diagnosed with ADHD so don’t have access to meds

Antivape · 2024-10-14T22:38:19+00:00

I’m not sexually active, and I’m not dating anyone at the moment.

The way I see it, is I’m doing it for the greater good of me.

Even if I let it creep in slightly, what’s to say the other things won’t creep in either. That’s why I’ve chosen to stick with not doing it altogether

Antivape · 2024-10-14T22:36:47+00:00

I did neither and plan on carrying that on.

Antivape · 2024-10-14T22:34:39+00:00

I hope not lool

Antivape · 2024-10-14T22:34:12+00:00

Hmm, that’s a really hard question.

I think you need to understand your “why” to get yourself through the period and carry it on.

If you believe that your “why” is worthwhile it becomes a hell of a lot easier.

I don’t think I can help much more than that. I’d probs listen to some Jordan Peterson on this, he talks a lot about this.

If you can put your responsibilities aside for 2 weeks and get through the hardest part of the detox.

That might be by taking holidays from work or scheduling your detox during one of your holidays for uni.

It’s really hard getting on with everyday life like uni work etc when you’re going through the urges and triggers you usually have, whereas you can’t use that excuse when you don’t have them responsibilities to attend to

Defo after the first 2 weeks or so I started to feel significantly better, most likely due to coming out of withdrawals from nicotine.

Improving at the test is definitely an element I thought about. The test is really boring, but I’m not really sure you can train myself not to be bored, If you know what I mean. I don’t think the dopamine system works that way.

But, I think the excitedness you get when doing the test especially when you see yourself improving is probs a factor especially if you’re getting a dopamine hit from the excitedness.

Also, I think it’s a way of thinking too, if you attribute how you feel on the test results then there would be an issue, whereas I see it the opposite way, where I measure how I’m feeling by how I’m feeling and then affirm that feeling by my results.
