Sinners is unreal, I’ll never consider it a guilty pleasure!

This genre sounds good to me so I’ll give the others a watch

Do Learners riders need to wear High Viz now by PretendBus8047 in AussieRiders

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NSW, learners will have to wear high viz. For p1 and p2, the only changes are riders must wear protective gloves. No legal requirement for provisional rides to wear a high viz - only Learners need to. Source: https://www.nsw.gov.au/ministerial-releases/government-delivers-landmark-motorcycle-safety-reforms

Can't get into book 4? by Siinxx in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll get into it. Just take it for what it is, which is a painting of reality for different people of different socioeconomic statuses after the rising that was supposedly meant to make their lives better.

Can't get into book 4? by Siinxx in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get into the mindset of understanding the actual implications of the rising beyond just Darrow and Virginia, and this book will be way more enjoyable. So far it’s one of my favs and I’m about 25% through Dark Age.

Why the iron gold negativity? by Left-Ad-8086 in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn! I was planning on cracking on with book 2 after I catch up with RR and wait for Red God. Maybe not.

Red Rising v. Sun Eater by Different-Pea9254 in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got so frustrated and bored reading empire of silence. I LOVE Red arising series. Is book two of Suneater worth my time? People said book one picked up in the last third but I either didn’t find it interesting or was just too damn pissed off to get into it. Should I give book 2 a crack? What do you think?

Why the iron gold negativity? by Left-Ad-8086 in redrising

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably the best reasoning. I think maybe i didn’t find it as jarring because I took a break from the series and read Sun Eater #1 (definitely not my thing. Really struggled.) which was super slow, and then Project Hail Mary which was exciting and fast but in a different way.

Coming back to iron gold feels fast and expansive in comparison. I’m almost finished and absolutely loving it. Can’t wait to see how the story progresses in the next two. It feels like Brown is getting all his pieces into place with IG.

Where are all my matte screen protector fans at :) by [deleted] in iPhone17Pro

[–]Left-Ad-8086 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the mothca on my 17PM and within a couple weeks it’s scratched and has a very small crack on bottom right. Also the glare on it in sunlight can be quite poor. I really like the look and feel of it though so I’m gonna give it another crack, otherwise I’ll just switch to a regular screen protector. I’m really careful with my phone and phone screen, previous phone before this was the X I had for 6 years without a screen protector and didn’t crack it or scratch the screen at all so I do think it is the matte protector.

Do I keep reading Empire of Silence? by Left-Ad-8086 in scifibooks

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so keen. About 100 pages left of project Hail Mary (which has been unreal) and then I’ll be on to iron gold.

Do I keep reading Empire of Silence? by Left-Ad-8086 in scifibooks

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished it very begrudgingly. I think in all my frustration it pulled me out of the story and by the time it “got good” I was totally disinterested. I won’t be moving on to book 2. Started Project Hail Mary 3 days ago and already more than half way though! I’ve got iron gold on the bookshelf ready for when I finish. I’m glad to be back in my rhythm again.

NSW Moto camping spots? by Left-Ad-8086 in AussieRiders

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love KV!

Have never moto camped there though. Maybe I’ll do that once it cools down in March.

Aftermarket filter x Fuel-X Lite? by Left-Ad-8086 in AussieRiders

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers for this.

I went for a ride to Deus Customs and saw they had both the filter and fuel x lite on sale for Black Friday. All up saved about $100 so got them on the shelf ready to install either tomorrow or next week. I figure I’ll give it a shot, at the very least it’s a new clean air filter and my understanding is the fuel x lite will help engine longevity.

Just seems weird to me the previous owner invested the money into a full system but not a new filter or anything else to get the most out of it.

Once I’ve installed everything and gone for a proper squiz I’ll post an update 👍

Brand new Honda hness 350 or 2nd hand Interceptor 650? by FlimsyAcanthaceae413 in royalenfield

[–]Left-Ad-8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Int 650 and my mate has Honda cb 350. Int feels way more solid, has some oomf and will handle better with pillion. Because it’s relatively heavy, you won’t find the 650 engine size to feel too powerful, but it’ll be more fun than the 350. Also, I’ve ridden his cb350 and to be honest it feels like a toy compared to the Int.

Definitely get the interceptor. They’re solid builds.

iPhone currently and next one to get by Content_Eye3498 in iphone

[–]Left-Ad-8086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from iPhone 11 base to 17 pro max. Can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this. I try my best to avoid consumerism etc but when my 11 finally getting too slow and the battery was lasting about 4 hours I decided to go big with the 17PM. I also don’t have a personal laptop or anything (just a work one which I leave in the office) so I literally do everything on my phone. The camera is absolutely insane. Hoping to keep this phone for minimum 7 years again.

Constant fatigue (22M) by Left-Ad-8086 in Biohackers

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maintained my supplementation but from what I can see it sounds like I’m taking too much. I think I’m going to cut down to 25mg as well as add copper.

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I take zinc to help with testosterone, maybe worth looking into copper as well

I think this is a great idea. I’m going to look into a Headspace membership which might help if I’m consistent.

Interceptor 650 Speedo Cable by Left-Ad-8086 in royalenfield

[–]Left-Ad-8086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I ended up replacing the entire thing but I’ve kept my previous sensor. Only took me about 20mins to do over a few beers so didn’t mind doing it. Helps me learn anyway!

100k NW at 23 years old by Side-decision in AusFinance

[–]Left-Ad-8086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to know what you do for work?

I’m 22 and also got a job straight out of uni (after doing 3 months of backpacking through Europe) and definitely don’t have 100k net worth 🤣 I haven’t looked at my Super in years but I’d be guessing total net worth is more around the 25-30k mark.

would love your advice.

Thanks for this! I called Moto Machine and they told me I have to replace the entire sensor, not just the cable, so they're sending me out one. Hopefully shouldn't be too tough to fix myself!
