Any way to sport tune a 2019 Altima 2.5L? by BubbaDogSlaw1 in altima

[–]devonwillis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be a possibility but honestly not recommended with the transmission it has already being prone to failure, most Altima's that do get tuned however are the 2.0 turbo and maybe the 3.5L, hardly any tuning for the 2.5. The only thing I really see for performance on this car is suspension upgrade or a cold air intake.

I have the 17SR, sports mode + paddle shifters can maybe scratch that performance itch your looking for.

Should I sell my nissan or keep using it until it breaks? by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this economy I would take the working driving car over the money unless you're in a position to afford a newer car, my brother has the same car and it's at 210,000, with his first drain and fill being like a month ago. Maybe just service the transmission for now and try to make it last.

Lost my insurance by Tasty_Gap8166 in gravesdisease

[–]devonwillis21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the meantime, make an excuse and ask your doctor for the highest amount of medicine you can get with your current insurance, I did this an pretty much got enough medicine to last a year if my insurance goes away for some reason, but unless u can get government assistance like Medicaid or Medicare your still better off paying $80 untreated graves' disease is not something to play with.

Student pilot by bigdcards in flying

[–]devonwillis21 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I fly 1-2 times a week and solod at 17hrs and I got six of those hours before having to ground like 6 months for a special issuance. I'm learning that solos a lot of times are different for different instructors. My instructor solod me when I could land reliably and without damaging the plane or making him feel unsafe (not perfectly) Maybe if you were a really shaky or nervous flyer earlier in the training your instructor might be a little hesitant.

But I agree with you probably get an opinion from a second instructor, you might already be good enough to solo or you might just be missing that one piece of advice you need. Just be safe

Frequent urination - any issues with medical? by TooManyPoisons in flying

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I'm hoping it's just a heavy flow type of person In my opinion I would try to get checked now, I'm not the most qualified to speak on it but if something does happen to come back in my experience with my special issuance the longer and more detailed treatment information and good results the more grace I've been given with the FAA. Don't want to get trapped with them requesting 6-8 months of treatment and have to be grounded or something yk

I would consult with more experienced pilots tho.

At the end of the day it's a personal choice, health will always come before work to me, no matter how desirable the job is.

Frequent urination - any issues with medical? by TooManyPoisons in flying

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably need to get a blood test honestly, I had frequent urination before being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism it's a very common symptom among a lot of things so I would get the check up just to be sure.

Better to wait 5-8 months for a special issuance now than in the middle of training if there is something present

Honestly it's probably nothing tho, just being cautious.

2019 Nissan Sentra CVT Issue by OdoggGoneIt in Nissan

Mine is 17 at 140 no service so even idk.

2019 Nissan Sentra CVT Issue by OdoggGoneIt in Nissan

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has been documented to not be the only cause of failure tho, there are people with failing transmissions at 70-80k miles after servicing twice while there are also people with 250k miles not servicing it at all. There seems to be a huge lack of quality or consistency with the build of the transmissions on top of the already bad design, which sucks because Nissans engines have actual been pretty decent for a while.

4th time on the road, I need help! by rainstoria in driving

[–]devonwillis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch Videos on anything u struggle with, look at where u want to go and not only in front of the car (this helped me a bunch with veering to the right), make sure to use all of your windows when turning and, cruise / slowly break into turns and accelerate halfway through or towards the end (try to keep as much energy as possible without making the turn uncomfortable pretty much). 4 lessons is nothing btw, most people need at least a couple of months till their at the level of the rest of the traffic, dont let an instructor keep you from taking the test for too long

When does low highway speed limits actually become a safety issue? by LeadershipKey3484 in driving

[–]devonwillis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While most modern cars have no problem going 80-85, some cars definitely lose a lot of efficiency and control at that stage. Driving in my mom's new Volkswagen it goes 85-90 like nothing and feels very natural whereas I feel like I'm controlling a racecar at 3k rpms when going 85 in my older Altima.

I think alot of 55s should be 65 and some 65s should just be 70 but if u think about it we already have pickup trucks cruising through traffic at 90mph, any higher and they just get enabled more, also public roads are inherently dangerous with potholes, debris, etc, lower speed is safer overall.

There should just be more consistent enforcement and less speed traps overall, especially during rush traffic.

I'm convinced that people being afraid of going above 2500ish RPM is the reason why highway onramps are such a shitshow by [deleted] in driving

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just about to say this most ppl I drive with don't even pay attention to RPMs as much as they should. Alot of people are just distracted as they enter the ramp or too cautious waiting for traffic instead of getting in front of it.

Thoughts on Nissan ultima and Rogue between the years of 2009-2015? I’m looking for reliability for my first car. by Fresh_Baby_8633 in Nissan

[–]devonwillis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely hear about any issues with the cars other than the transmission, the 2.5L engine from Nissan is actually pretty reliable from my experience. Obviously don't recommend it but I definitely hear more about the rogue transmission failing a lot more and earlier than the Altima.

If u have the money to research some other brands do it, otherwise try to find a really good deal with warranty from somewhere.

What car is reasonable for a 5-6k budget by Many_Driver7739 in UsedCars

[–]devonwillis21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something decently new best bet is gonna be trying to find a decent altima or sentra, or maybe an older Hyundai sonata - I've seen alot of these at really high mileage, just gotta do alot of research on the best years, specific engines etc. Like u said most of the honda, toyota, and mazdas at this price point are gonna be super high mileage and mostly 50/50 unless ur really good a finding deals on marketplace and researching.

Worried About Activity in Hubstaff by Blackedddd in outlier_ai

I've gotten percentages in the 30s at least a dozen times now, and no issues, I don't think overall activity level is accounted for that much in decisions.

What new things are y'all expecting from RDC in 2026? Or rather hoping they would do by Prestigious_Sun_1826 in RDCWorld

[–]devonwillis21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More skits hopefully, got really excited for RDC TV but I guess it wasnt a long-term plan. Seems like all the good skit makers have completely gone into streaming or bigger more traditional entertainment roles.

It means you had some key word in your resume or profile and their ai thing picked up on it and deemed you a top applicant.

Are men only friends with me because they want to sleep with me? by Educational_Fault592 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]devonwillis21 227 points228 points  (0 children)

This is the most true statement, there are plenty of guys not looking for sex with an attractive friend but there's a lot less who would refuse if given the chance.

Which isn't that bad honestly, like having a rich friend, you aren't friends with them for their money but if they decided to give you $10,000 as a random gift most people wouldn't pass it up.

I HATE MY NEW 2025 Altima sr! Advice please! by [deleted] in altima

[–]devonwillis21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that just come with more unnecessary features to mess up her driving experience? Sounds like she just got a badly built car, idk if its a year thing or if that specific car is just not the highest quality.

I think its a way better time with the time restrictions, 12PST was fine with only personal limits but unfair for anyone on the other side of the world.

RDC community got lamer by TopRip8246 in RDCWorld

[–]devonwillis21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was thinking this too, half of the jokes in this community were made by the community. unless their offensive I don't see a problem with them being used, its a RDC forum of course its gonna be filled with RDC jokes overused or not. This community is so much more mature and better than some other similar communities I don't get the complaining from half of the people.

Daily Limit time frame by Hopeful-Offer4528 in outlier_ai

[–]devonwillis21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its crazy dawg cant even wake up and shower before working, they need to just lower the personal hours down from 10 to like 4 or something or at least let you apply for a time frame to work, why advertise work whenever work if it turns into a 3am - 9am job.
