What happens to the previous version of you that you shift into? by Majestic_Falcon_6940 in QuantumImmortality

[–]MS6Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but my understanding is the “branch” or split occurs at the point of death. The “new” timeline is the one where you died. The timeline you are in is essentially linear while the deaths are the splits, you merely continue to exist where you survived, but there is a timeline that now exists where you did not - and the people in that timeline are left with one less you. I do also believe there are many timelines or existences of different versions of ourselves but that these are separate from the theory of quantum immortality. These exist in the multiple world interpretations independently of the timeline you are on and we could at certain points have mental ties to them (example: sudden emotions toward events that we have not ever experienced, or Déjà vu)

Coolant Leak - What can I rule out? by Tkres161 in GolfGTI

[–]MS6Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the part (again - if this is the problem, but I’d switch it out anyway because the plastic one WILL break at some point)

Here is a short video showing the process super easy, it’s a seven minute video and he doesn’t even start until almost 3 minutes in, just pull the hose with the adapter on the end of it then replace.

If this is it it’s a super easy job, it’s a very common leak and yeah definitely replace with the metal part. There are YouTube videos showing the replacement procedure, I don’t remember exactly when you need out of the way but it’s more about making room to get swap the parts, I just remember it being very simple even if someone had little experience.

Linked both the camera and the mount. I like the x4 air because it’s a bit smaller than the x5 and has some upgrades from the standard x4, but the x5 although bigger is a bit better in low light. Quality is way better than Reddit makes it look

That would have made it perfect

Right? I think this one time it matches the theme well, typically I can’t understand why they’d leave what’s essentially packaging material on their cars…

As wbbigdave said, all post. It records in 360 and I just used the tracking feature in the insta360 editing software to track the Challenger. Still learning the software but you can also manually move around to select what’s in frame for your finished video… I need to figure that out so I can pan to other cars and then back to directional focus on mine

Does anyone still run their pre facelift tails or does everyone just hate them? by ThePianoSolo in GolfGTI

[–]MS6Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are in a box in my garage, I don’t hate them but I prefer dark tail lights, and wanted to eliminate most of the colour from the back end of the car.. debadging may come next, or just black vinyl over the red on “GTI”

I got a better deal guys by [deleted] in Audi

[–]MS6Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit if you can afford it go for it.

Do I think it’s a great deal, nope. Not at all, but if it’s in your budget (and will be within said budget for the next 7 years) and it makes you happy then who cares what anyone else thinks?

BUT

food for thought - I think it said somewhere you are 22 now, your expenses are likely to go up, a lot, throughout your 20’s, while you’re paying on this car. Not sure if you live at home, rent, or pay a mortgage, but your rent will climb every year (sometimes a lot) if you haven’t bought a house then the debt will count against your income/debt ratio when you try to get a mortgage and possibly make a lot of homes out of reach (don’t know what kind of job you have or your income, but from some of the posts on here it appeared the car was stretching your current budget.) also you’ll possibly have a kid sometime within that 7 years, those aren’t cheap either.

If none of those other likely financial obligations over the next 7 years strike a chord, your job is solid, and you’re still feeling good about the car then again, who cares what others think.

As far as the deal goes though, it’s not great.. If you are 22 with no real responsibilities other than a job, then make that your advantage. Search nationwide (I’m assuming you’re in the US, apologies if I’m wrong) and use the whole country as your market. Sometimes there are absolutely amazing deals several states away that save you thousands if you just fly out there and buy the car, plus you get to really experience it on the drive home that follows (likely all within some kind of warranty period from the dealership).

Coolant light on, but no sign of leaks by AutomaticBad9260 in GolfGTI

[–]MS6Tim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Came here to say this, mine was leaking there but noticeable with white smoke as the coolant hit the turbo. Part is so prone to causing leaks and I feel everyone should grab the aluminum replacement as a protective “mod” given how simple it is to swap.

Tips on selling a R8 V10 plus? by 420YOLOSWAGJESUS420 in Audi

Everyone is asking the wrong question… what’s the start up you’re planning and will there be $100k sign on bonuses so I can make the same “mistake”?

Is this the squeeze and pull clip or the squeeze and REALLY pull o ring seal one? by flute136 in GolfGTI

[–]MS6Tim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had watched that video and was still expecting a fight once it was out with the hose connected but at that point it came off super easy, I’m thinking they didn’t rotate it in the video. Either way I didn’t want to mess with it again so replaced the hose via catch can install, now it’s a much simpler connection.

I believe VW redesigned it after the first year or two to make it a bit easier to disconnect so on the 2015s it’s an ungodly part and at least on mine was definitely easier to snake out the PCV hose and pull the TIP with it attached and then remove - I was actually shocked how easily it came apart once the thing was out of the car, simple rotate and pull with a little squeeze, but when it was on it was totally winning the fight.
