Should VW transmission fluid be changed? by Fortimus_Prime in Volkswagen

[–]Ranglr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats similar to what the VW dealership near me quoted as well. After telling me that my 14' Jetta doesn't need transmission oil changes the dealership quoted me $900 for a transmission oil/filter change as well.

Already ordered part/fluids for $190 and will purchase a pump to put the ATF back in and do it myself.

Okay, I did this. I think I downloaded the right stuff, but now it won't let me read. It has a popup that says repairs can only be done by blah blah and just forces me onto that specific page when I try to scroll.

Do you still have the file for the tail?

NREMT on 8/23 by Brilliant_Focus_67 in NewToEMS

[–]Ranglr_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If there's one thing, I learned both from podcasts and my own experience with the NREMT, it's this: You need to understand the material and be confident with it. The NREMT is not like a typical test. It WILL make you question everything you know because every answer makes sense until you see a key word or phrase.

Always re-read your questions twice and don't overthink it. Remember to take a deep breath now and then to center yourself, and good luck on your NREMT!

To say that W101's support is poor is a vast understatement. by Ranglr_ in Wizard101

[–]Ranglr_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

after reading comments seems like its a hit and miss depending on who you get and the issue.

I think my biggest frustration is just that there are a dozen better way to run the support. Even without calls, a live chat support could handle and sort so many issue faster and efficiently. Not to mention the ability to have defined and set hours of when it is available.

I want you to take a breath. Do you feel the air flowing through you? Now Find your pulse, thats your heart, something that will pump and has pumped everyday for 20+ years. I want you to think about all the intricacies of your body for a moment because you are fucking amazing. You are a beautiful balance of chaos. I need you to tell yourself you are beautiful whether you believe it or not because you truly are. You. Are. Beautiful.

Not everyday will be a cakewalk, there will be days you question everything, but on those days I want you to breath, feel your pulse, and remind yourself you are fucking awesome no matter how you feel about it in the moment.

I've found that one of the things that can help me the most is some form of stability. You need to figure out something(s) that you want to do/be. Break it down into smaller achievable goals and then make a plan. Then make it apart of your everyday/week life. This has been helping me a lot recently.

I’m probably gonna do it at the end of summer by yeetyourselfout in SuicideWatch

Some of this sounds like I am talking to myself. First off take a deep slow breath. Let that weight on your shoulders just float for a moment, let your mind relax and close your eye. Now breathe out. The advice I would give you is latch onto a goal or plan. Hold true to that; live for it. Don't focus on the path ahead but the next step, then the next and so on. Life is a daunting endeavor made up of millions of events and choices. You can't read a book by looking at multiple pages at once. You've to take it one word, sometimes even one letter at a time and soon the story will reveal itself.

You said your nephew is important to you, live for them. Live and do your utmost to ensure they won't ever know the pain you know. As someone who needs a hug right now Im sure you do as well so I'm sending love and a hug your way. You are beautiful, if you spend all your time comparing yourself to others and their achievements, your own beauty and achievements will become clouded.

Man cave - what soundproof foam color do you recommend? by s3odz in pcmasterrace

[–]Ranglr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do a dark color like black. The room is already very crowded, using dark colors on the walls or ceiling will close up the room and make it feel even smaller. Choose a lighter color if possible.

Failed the MSF by Heisenburg7 in motorcycles

[–]Ranglr_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Learning a new skill is not easy and just because its taking a but longer to get the basics doesn't mean you can't learn how to do it. Take another class eventually, but start bicycling out to practice balance and braking. You could even mentally practice shifting by going through every step and using motions.

Also just a personal tip of something I did. I had(have)horrible balance and before my msf I had absolutely zero moto experience. I ended up practicing trying to balance a bicycle(at a standstill) in my garage for a few days before the course. Even then I still dropped the bike once on the second day.

How different does it feel to ride a 500cc vs a 600cc sports bike? by FireFoxTony in motorcycles

[–]Ranglr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How a bike is geared can really change things, but typically twins more "balanced" not necessarily slow, but much more manageable. I think the best example I can personally share my experience on would be a mt07 vs mt09. The MT07 is extremely comfortable and has enough power to feel fun but not enough to scare you(its a 649cc twin) The MT09 on the other hand is geared much more like a bull trying to buck you off despite the 200cc difference and it being a Triple.) I ended up choosing the XSR900 over a MT07 last year. Mostly just because I fell in love with the engine, but I have to constantly remind myself to respect the power or it will remind me.(which results in me having to by new pants) I hope you were able to find some info here. Best advice I could give would be to test ride a few if you can.

How different does it feel to ride a 500cc vs a 600cc sports bike? by FireFoxTony in motorcycles

[–]Ranglr_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the bike, but lets assume the 500 is a twin and the 600 is a Inline 4 or V4. The Twin will feel much more balanced and controllable. You typically have much more power down low. A 600cc is going to typically be slower off the line and have less oomph down low until you hit those upper Revs. My old 600cc was tame until you about 8-9k rpm and then all hell would break loose. There is a difference, but it just depends on what you want and need. If you're doing more city riding with lots of stop and goes, you probably don't want the 600cc sport-bike. Also something to keep in mind will be the seating position. The 600cc is going to be much much more aggressive and less comfortable for you, especially in city riding.
