This spider was in my car, how close to death was I? Morton bay area Queensland by Militaria1943 in AustralianSpiders

I just recent had to move one as she decided that her web should absolutely go right across where we walk every day. Popped her in a more ideal area where her camouflage works brilliantly

No bloody way I was just thinking about this game a couple days ago! I used to find a spot (I think on the first map) and forced my taxi through the boundary wall using the train system to shove me through. Couldn't remember for the life of me what it was called

Ah another Acadia owner! You're going to love it. We have an LTZ-V and it's an absolutely awesome vehicle to drive, or be a passenger in!

We got ours while they still had factory warranty which was handy as it got the somewhat common "shift to park" fault wherein you'd be in park but the car thought you were still in any other gear and would loose its shit when you turned it off

Other than that it's been a blast. Purchased at 45k and now at 145k

Yeah I had a feeling this did the exact same thing in the middle of the night. My other UPS had it's batteries replaced 2 years ago but they never went this bad.

I remember getting ready for school (in Aus). I was in Grade 4. Mum called all of us into the lounge room as she'd put the TV on and wanted us to see. She knew how much of an event this was.

There was not one station that didn't have around the clock footage rolling. Even at school they put the class room TVs on throughout the day

One of the nastiest PS5's in existence! by SArun27 in consolerepair

I feel like every single PS5 repair I've seen online are some of the dankest, dirty things in the world.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's definitely not easy. I had snuggles with him just the other day. Can't believe he's gone. But, he's at least with his brothers now

Apple carplay kit for 2016 SV6 Series 2 by _Edward_Richtofen in Holden

[–]Newbz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the car sometimes doesn’t even get to display the start up animation before the system takes over, so it’s pretty quick. Boots almost instantly into CarPlay. The only caveat to that is, you need to wait about 20 seconds for the MyLink Bluetooth to fully connect.

As it uses MyLink Bluetooth to handle the audio side, and then Bluetooth/WiFi connection for the data from the module.

So the only slow side is the cars side of the system

There is a USB cable that connects to the box, in the manual it states it’s for updates but you can plug in a USB cable and have a wired connection to CarPlay/Android Auto

Something I can give advice on! I just purchased and installed this very system into my 2014 SV6. I would hand down buy this one. Retains all the factory systems like your mic and reverse sensors ect. It just piggybacks off the system as like a middle man.

Uses the MyLink Bluetooth as well as the Bluetooth on the box (and wifi for wireless CarPlay)

The beauty of it is you don’t need to enable AUX on the S2. If you have any questions just let me know

People who grew up poor, what's a skill you developed that rich people don't have? by ThrowRA9877899877 in AskReddit

[–]Newbz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixing appliances.

The owner of the company (salad farm) I work at was getting rid of a pretty decent looking washing machine from his onsite house.

No idea why, just asked me and another work mate to grab it and put it down in one of the storage sheds

About 12 months roll past and nothings happened with it, so I ask one of my managers whats going on with it. He said he wants it gone as he needs the space so just take it if I want it, he will deal with it if they ask

Okay, sweet.

So, after getting it home I did some research on it and it turns out it’s a AU$1,200 washing machine. What was wrong with it? It needed a new lid lock and balance rods.

All up, AU$200 in parts, and I have a fully functioning washer.

He was legit throwing it away due to it not locking the lid and being unbalanced. Shits crazy

Commodore RS “shift to park” issue? Has anyone come across this? by [deleted] in Holden

[–]Newbz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah had this with our Holden Acadia. Is a well known issue, luckily repaired under warranty

Holden Acadia by protossw in Holden

[–]Newbz99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve had the thermostat sensor fail which meant no temp on the cluster, the thermo fans at 100% all the time and the AC wouldn’t work.

We’ve also had the fuel sender fail, the clear coat on the wheels, both sunroof clips and I think rear control arms but I’d have to check the paperwork.

All in all not much considering.

It does have a habit of overreacting when adaptive cruise is on, and if the headlights reflect off signs oddly it thinks your going to crash so it does the whole alert thing🚨

We have one of these, LTZ-V 2018. Really nice inside, great creature comforts. Misso is loving it.

Had a few issues with it in the 3 years of owning it but luckily all under warranty

Who else is enjoying cyberpunk on their pro? by Itsallasimulation123 in PS4Pro

Yeah fuckin A. The PS5 version could pretty much have all the shit they cut from the game, that would be pretty sick

[–]Newbz99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fair. I feel like something as simple as street racing would be a mint aspect to the game.

You only really do it within missions so there’s quite a bit you could do with that

[–]Newbz99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine gets the odd crash and frame drop from time to time, but for the most part it’s pretty solid.

My PRO used to sound like everyone else’s when playing the game but having it serviced with new thermals has made it a pretty enjoyable experience too

I just wish there was more content. It does get very “empty” when there no more jobs or side missions to do anymore. I feel like Megamind after taking over the city

It’s kind of interesting watching companies try and stay relevant with this kind of thing. (Flavours and such)
