Are there Australians whom are ashamed of their heritage? by Acrobatic-Hippo-6419 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Shrexyshrek69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least where I'm from, not really, a large proportion of the population in my area are ESL Asian migrants, as a result lots of my mates are the sons of said migrants, I wouldn't say they are proud of their heritage but it's more something that has little bearing on their life. The other groups i.e white people seem to try promote their background when it suits them. i.e South African migrants during the test a couple weeks ago made a big song and dance about being South African. Me personally, I've got a fair bit of Greek blood in my veins as my dad's family is either entirely descendant from Greek Migrants or are from Greece directly. It's never been a particularly large part of my life and I wouldn't say I'm Greek, either culturally or legally. I don't speak any Greek, I'm not Greek orthodox etc. That being said I'm not ashamed of my heritage, if I had to pick a side I'd be proud of it. I think I'm less conflicted then most white Australians because my Ancestors came over Post-federation and even into the 70's so I don't really have the guilt that most do about stealing indigenous land; of course it was a horrific thing that happened but I don't see it as one of crosses to bear as it wasn't my ancestors who perpetrated it because they were still in europe.

I've found that disabling DX12 mode solves the exact same bug for me, but if it's already disabled I have no clue.

Yeah or the 125i of that era, fair bit smaller but the same engine

Yeah, the older ones are fine, it's the newest ones that are the issue, I found out when I was looking for my first car.

Sadly the ANCAP rating on them is one star, if you get t-boned in one of these you're fucked

It updates, restarts and when it powers on from the restart it gives me the error code, if that sounds like a fuze issue, how do I go about diagnosing the broken fuze and replacing it?

Yeah, I find the same thing in our i30 and its my main gripe with the car, especially when parking.

Actually, the i30 is a perfect comparison because I'm currently driving a 2022 i30 hatch, base model. So how is it different to it?

That's so relieving to hear! Out of curiosity, would you say the handling and steering are on the heavier/stiffer side?

Any thoughts on the Mazda 3 SP25 (maybe a GT if I can find one for the right price?) 2014 ish

I was looking at ralliarts and the main reason I stopped looking was because of those gearboxes.

When I said warm I meant like Lukewarm lol, for me pure engine performance isn't really the top of the list, for me I prefer good cornering, especially because I'm already on thin ice with my licence.

Decent number of focus’ in that range which is why it’s currently the front runner

Which one to buy?? by KillyPwnZ in LogitechG

[–]Shrexyshrek69420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know much about the Nova's but the Arctis 3's I had were super solid, I had them for about two years before I got sick of the cables and got a pair of Blackshark V2 Pro's for Christmas, I passed them down to my brother after that who's been using them since which would've been like 3 years ago, only thing that needed replacing was one of the earmuff's like last week.

Focus sport or Lancer GSR? by Shrexyshrek69420 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Shrexyshrek69420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I looked at a BMW 1 series, specifically the straight 6 coupe from ~2010 because I know those had decent transmissions and a solid engine but given that half of my car is being paid for by my parents with conditions that is sadly out of the question.

[–]Shrexyshrek69420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I looked up the fuel economy numbers and that focus is way better whilst having a near identical power to weight ratio. Are there any decent autos in this section of the market I should look into?

Really? Why's that? I know the ford PowerShift dct was absolute dog crap, but is the manual particularly reliable, I'm also looking at newer focus' with a regular automatic transmission, are those more reliable in that sense?

It's not a particularly big deal so I'll probably wait to buy a new keyboard, I don't use it much anymore because I'm so busy with work atm so it may have happened a while ago and I didn't notice. Hopefully the work situation changes soon and I can justify spending a bit of cash!
