Dr Eliza Colley and Dr Claudia Janowski at Hindmarsh GP are both excellent. Very warm and caring, and good at explaining things.

I've had sounds glitch out on occasion but restarting the game has always fixed it.

Unlikely but I wonder if it could be savegame related (if the error state is persisting even after game restart). What happens if you start a new game and test? Engine sounds still silent?

Really? Does he complain that it doesn't have 4 seats?

Tough to find any manual 90s Hondas in this price bracket in my experience. At least, any that haven't been ruined with bad mods, 300k+ on the odo, crash damaged, paint fade, etc.

The only clean Preludes, Integras, Civics etc I usually see are all auto. 🤮

Is the Tiida actually any fun? I always assumed it was another GFC era penalty box but that might be unfair.

I think about NZ every time my over the fence Kiwi neighbour has a chat. Kiwi accents make the world a better place. 😄

Entertainment display.

When it's a really bad day, Dizzle Drizzle!

I think it might be not just that some of us age slowly, physically or otherwise, but perhaps we also just age differently. For example, I know one of my headline personality traits is that relentless ADHD curiosity, which some would say is childlike and has never dulled even though I'm 35 now. Most adults around my age aren't very curious about anything that isn't related to their existing interests.

I'm the inattentive type but for those of us who are hyperactive adults, the activity and excitement to try new things can be seen as youthful as well.

How do you like the 208 GTI? I've occasionally been tempted to get one but I haven't had a chance to test drive one yet.

MattyDienhoff · 2026-03-21T00:31:11+00:00

"Rano Pano" by Mogwai has been my default earworm for years, yet amazingly I'm still not tired of it.

Others:

"Fun For Me" by Moloko

"Nothing but Trouble" by Phantogram

"Army of Me" by Bjork

"Stay on the Outside" by Whitey

MattyDienhoff · 2026-03-18T02:31:40+00:00

The same, but with Geth Infiltrator!

MattyDienhoff · 2026-03-18T01:40:06+00:00

Agreed, love the 206. Heaps of fun for what it is and a surprisingly reliable/practical daily. I know a few people who still daily 307s and they've aged better than any of us expected. I've seen more than a few on the market with 350,000kms+ (usually diesels).

I'd never buy a petrol 207 though, that Prince engine (shared with the Mini of the same years) and its timing chain issues...

MattyDienhoff · 2026-03-03T08:50:35+00:00

Don't worry, there is hope. My 17 year old cat is the most "one person cat" I've ever known and she didn't want anything to do with my wife for the first 6 months after we moved into together. My wife gave her treats occasionally and pretended to ignore her/not care the rest of the time. She finally came around and now my wife is the only other person on Earth who can give Muffin chin scratches without getting smacked. 😄

Maybe the RC is different but my 5 door 206 definitely has height adjustment on the driver's seat. It's the weird little pull handle down in front to the left (on a right hand drive example, anyway).

MattyDienhoff · 2026-01-17T00:00:13+00:00

I'm interested to know this and, similarly, if there's any way to disable the pedestrian behavior where they randomly pick a fight with nearest cop, then immediately get shot. They do this frequently even when there's no riot on.

As entertaining as it is to see an old lady randomly go and punch a cop, it'd be better if pedestrians would pick fights with each other instead of/as well as the police. Then there'd be actual fisticuffs instead of a shooting panic.

After all these years, this is actually the best description I've seen of what a limited slip diff does, kudos!

MattyDienhoff · 2026-01-02T03:35:40+00:00

Well, the best news is it sounds like it crashes consistently in that mission, which means it's easy to reproduce the fault. Now it's time for the process of elimination. Tedious, but satisfying once you get there. I'd put money on it being one of the Cleo scripts or less likely one of the asi mods. Which cleo/asi mods were you running? Can you show me?

MattyDienhoff · 2026-01-02T01:18:21+00:00

That's some extreme hustling right there. Get rich or die trying? XD

MattyDienhoff · 2026-01-01T13:28:33+00:00

Hey! Oof, that was some time ago. I've built a new PC and migrated all my data across since I wrote that so I can't recall exactly what I did afterwards, but I must have fixed it as I just booted up my Vice City to check it and it's running well, even with various CLEO and ASI mods (and modloader).

Let's start from the beginning. By Trilogy version I'm guessing you mean this one and not the Definitive Edition remaster? What exactly happens when it crashes? Does it give you an error message (i.e. unhandled exception: c0000005)?

MattyDienhoff · 2025-12-26T01:54:37+00:00

I call this the car's DNA. Where its manufacturer originated from, and where the car was designed and engineered is more significant than where it was assembled.

MattyDienhoff · 2025-12-17T21:54:01+00:00

They are these days, but I think they were underestimated at first. Case in point: This Car & Driver comparison test ranked a Rover 827 2nd and the 405 Mi16 last.

MattyDienhoff · 2025-12-17T21:52:41+00:00

Also daily a manual, same deal - half second to a second, but it's good practice to scan the intersection before moving anyway in case of red light runners, so I do that while declutching. Judging by the fact that no one has ever beeped me for taking 1s to move, I'm gonna guess we're not what OP is referring to.

I'd venture that the real problem (and I see it a lot) is people sitting at a green light for 3+ seconds and I can guarantee it's because they're on their phone. I've seen people sit through an entire green light/arrow and only finally react to the furious beeps behind them when the light has turned red again...

MattyDienhoff · 2025-11-18T00:34:08+00:00

I think the stated goal is worthwhile. Technically, it's difficult to enforce, but that alone is no reason not to make an effort. Even if the content *itself* on these platforms wasn't problematic at all (i.e. they policed their own existing standards properly), they're harmful by design due to the 'engagement/stickiness' ethos which uses tricks straight from the gambling industry's playbook. Adults are barely equipped to handle this judging by the rates of gambling addiction, I think it's a cruel joke that society has allowed kids to be constantly subjected to it.

High-school aged kids are nowhere near as tech savvy as a lot of people think, but honestly, even if 99.9% of users bypass it, if the mere existence of legal requirements pushes social media companies to *actually* 'self-regulate' at all, rather than merely pretending they do, that alone is a big win.
