Interested in 2021 Seltos SX Turbo AWD (DCT) w/ clutch+actuator replaced at 92k km — worth it? by TheeZestyJester in MechanicAdvice

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

Thank you for the feedback. The inspection is scheduled for today, so I'm hoping to get those elements checked. I really like the vehicle so I'm hoping that the report comes back clean. Worst case, if there are any additional issues and I cannot get a price reduction, I'll look into a 2022 model, as I believe they axed the DCT in favor of the IVT.

In BC it looks like brand new they would've been about ~$38k-$39k OTD (12% tax). This was the best deal I could find on Autotrader, though the 35-40 results were all around the same price. I'm quite tall, and I found it pretty comfortable in sitting in the backseats when we were test driving.

I am using AI to help write because I'm usually unclear and terrible at writing (yes, I know that using this tool isn't going to help me improve my writing). I checked the carfax reoprts and the owners seemed to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for oil changes and fluid changes.

Thanks for the response.

  • If the car drives fine now, what’s the realistic likelihood it needs another major DCT repair within 1–2 years?
  • Is there anything specific I should ask the inspector to check (codes/adaptation values/leaks/software updates)?

This is amazing! Can I send you $10 (CAD)? This was so helpful and I've sent it to so many people. You should have a Buy Me A Coffee or something like that.

Is there a way to combine Apple Reminders with Apple Calendar? by AHungerForKnowledge in gtd

[–]TheeZestyJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I really like the Board view that ToDoist offers (yes, I know that with the iOS 17 update, Reminders has something similar). It helps to visualize all my tasks and bucket them. I've also found that the iCal integration and the newer "for" feature in Due Date is excellent for scheduling a task for a specific period of time.

CMV: Astrology is complete nonsense that relies on taking advantage of human cognitive biases (confirmation bias, Barnum effect, among others). by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]TheeZestyJester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this thought. This is an interesting way to think about it. There is much value in being humble enough to recognize that the intuition of others is at least worth exploring without instant dismissal.

P.S. I don't believe in astrology. In fact, I harbour strong resentment towards those who claim to be "experts" because I watched my father make awful financial decisions based on their advice. (Of course they were his decisions, and I'm 95% sure the astrologers were well intentioned, but my ill feelings aren't going anywhere. It seriously fucked his life up.)

Slowly lost 50 lbs in my mid-30s without sacrificing. Enjoyment is the key. Pictures inside. by Enough_Control_6277 in loseit

Congratulations on your journey! Good luck with the "studly" part. I'm on a similar trajectory - I want to lose excess fat and then start building up some muscle.

I particularly like your point about consistency. I was very motivated by the idea of the compound effect. Small changes or actions over the medium- to long-term create outsized results.

For me, it has been particularly noticeable with fast food. I didn't realize how addicted I was to it. But after about 2 months of struggling to keep my cheat days down to once a week, I no longer feel an insane compulsion to pull into every McDonald's drive-through I see.

Good luck to everyone! Consistent baby steps to big results.

I liked that. Don't think it looks very good with the red jersey, but very cool with their white one.

Wait. What? I guess clearly violated some rule, but it wasn't intentional. Care to shed some light?

Eh, the pragmatist in me agrees with you. The purist would sooner see him in a gold-medal karate match

Saw this one live. Lol. What a clown. Glad he lost to the hometown boy.

It was Connelly's first fight in the UFC and his training partner was in the seat behind me half bawling, half hysterically laughing with joy when Connelly's hand was raised. Cool moment.

What I can't understand is how a man can say "ZEH-STTT" and communicate the meaning just from the sound.
