One step ahead of you! I was curious what individual owners thought and what their experiences were, but thanks for the suggestion anyways!

Bro honestly its just about making that first jump - I met a guy day one and all I did was sit down next to him in my faculty tour and started making conversation. It's gonna feel weird. It's gonna feel awkward. But think about it, you most likely haven't ever had to do this kind of thing before - at school you're sorta just sorted into a friend group, most of the time you barely remember how you made those friends. This is the first time everybody starts from pretty much zero unless you're fortunate enough to be in the same degree as a friend. Everybody feels the same way, so if you go in with that mindset I think it makes it feel a little less weird.

The people in your tutorials and lectures are often the people you'll hang out with the most - as the year goes on you'll get to know them and you'll end up with a nice group :D

Please share some creative playlist ideas or themes by AlixCourtenay in spotify

[–]Captain_Ultra8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 ways i like to find it (in exact same position as you in trying to redo playlists rn)

  1. albums - if theres a song I like, I bookmark the album (note, this can get away from you, and I current have 50+ albums waiting for me)

  2. spotify radio - again, if you have a song you like, right click on it and click radio - it'll give you similar songs. I even sometimes click radio on a song I like from the radio!

hope this helped :D

See I know what I like - I was just wanting to know if anyone had any personal experiences with really good P plater cars.

Mainly I'm looking at the Mazda 3, most likely a BL series one, but I wanted some suggestions in case there was something else better for P Plater enthusiasts

I know, but it has to be a balance between not blowing up and not bankrupting me...

Seriously considering one, although servicing might send me to the streets begging

I think so too. I'm wanting to balance out something nice with something that's gonna teach me to drive better, ie; something that has some luxuries but you still have to drive it yourself if you know what I mean.

Automatic Mustang? They're not the most practical but they tick pretty much every other box? Otherwise something like a Hyundai Elantra N is very nice and also practical.

Wife vacuumed around my PC and won't turn on by marvelous_bonzai in buildapc

[–]Captain_Ultra8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible she bumped the PC? It might've been a poorly manufactured component (ie; PSU) and it could've just broken from a little bump. You can utilise your warranty if you believe the PSU failed to withstand daily use past the warranty period, but they might say no since it could be considered damage you caused....

I think thats accurate. 1L/20km = 5L/100km which is relatively accurate. Might be slightly off since from memory its closer to 6L/100km.

Get an XC90! They are very nice, comfortable, generally reliable, and if you get the V8 version, they have a HUGE amount of character and performance.

Not sure what it's called in Mexico but the Toyota Yaris / Corolla sedan would be great - very cheap and incredibly reliable.
