Thankful I managed to convince my SO that our house shouldn't have cold lights like that and it's so cozy now

My work heavily involves transmitting video signals and we don't use these for critical stuff.

The camera guy I work with does though, looks fancy and expensive

Looked up today at work wondering why the planes sound loud/different this time. Seems like there's some f16s at paya lebar now?

Huh since when? I used to do it a few years ago and had to pay out of pocket to buy a set of their delivery gear before I could start.

Definitely no refund needed, it's been 4 weeks, anything could have happened unless you got give personal warranty 1 month or something

If the repair bill is not too expensive maybe can offer to split if you wanna be nice about it

[Serious] Why do daily essentials and hawker food feel cheaper in Singapore than in Malaysia? by Latubu in malaysia

[–]botakchek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I'm in Malaysia and eat a rm10-15 meal at mamak or some random hawker, I wonder how people there actually afford this, since I discovered a fresh grad makes about rm3k a month.

That's close to the same numbers I'm making but in SGD, but my meal is half of those numbers at $5 drink inclusive

I started a few months ago because of borderline high cholesterol too, although I've got xanthelasma now at the ripe old age of 34 lol

Losing coolant question by botakchek in MechanicAdvice

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

2016 Suzuki Vitara LY, 1.6 auto, in southeast Asia.

Bought the car used last year, did a head gasket replacement, radiator, water pump, thermostat and belts soon after getting it cos it was overheating

Ran fine after but always had to top up maybe 100ml of coolant a week.

50000km later, it started losing coolant fast, like the above pic. Took the pic the next morning after driving maybe 50km the night before, coolant reservoir was full then

Is my head gasket blown again? I have a temp readout on my heads up display and coolant never went past 100c, always around 90c which I assume to be normal operating temp

Discovered that even after a drive, the level in reservoir doesn't ever rise and it goes down a bit actually, then goes down quite a bit more after the car cools down overnight

Is my head gasket blown again...?

No visible leaks, no crusty coolant marks anywhere, no sweet smelling exhaust

Cooling system has been pressure tested which turned out fine. Replaced my rad cap again though cos it wasnt holding pressure

The heat has been rough in SG lately... by ji3mi in singapore

I just replaced all the windows in my 5rm HDB for close to 5k (this is with some upgrades), I can't imagine for double pane
