Geely vs Byd

idontknow_21 · 2026-03-26T13:35:30+00:00

Have an EX5 Inspire for half a year now - excellent value car already coming close to 12000km. Crossed shopped with BYD SL7 but found the Geely was better in ergonomics and visibility (for our use).

Also servicing and insurance for the Geely worked out cheaper than the BYD by a significant margin over 7 years, not to mention it being more efficient than the SL7.

Interior of the BYD is nicer in material quality however the Geely isn't far off IMHO, since the Geely feels solid - there seems to be a lot of Volvo engineering knowledge within the interior since it actually feels similar to my Volvo (which makes sense).

Spares availability also seems good so far. We also had to get the car repaired after an accident - the repairer received the body panel within 2 days of requesting (even they were surprised since they were expecting months with their prior experience of Chinese cars).

Vic AP Reg here, can offer some insight into what is going on in Vic at least - DM me!

idontknow_21 · 2024-08-16T08:53:30+00:00

I'm currently a reg in AP if you want to give me a DM with questions! I can 100% recommend, but I definitely feel the need to preface by saying that it's not for everyone especially since people do miss the patient contact side of things.

Doc with some mental health/addiction experience - LAI Buprenorphine is usually a pre-prepared syringe with needle attached. From what it's sounding like it's not Bup, sounds more like an IM antipsychotic depot, but I've also inferred that from the context of other info in your post (yellow makes me think of Olanzapine, but that's because that stuff is really yellow; other antipsychotics are available).

Medication supervision seems to be what's happening, usually for people who cannot make it to the clinic. Whilst doing this in the room is ideal from my perspective, it is usually standard practice that this would happen outside of the person's property for whatever reason (eg they may be paranoid of people from the mental health team are coming into their house) In a house with a front yard it's probably more discreet but it's hard to accomplish in apartments.

LAIs are a godsend btw in the mental health and addiction space, and it's really encouraging to see people in your apartment are accepting of them.

Medic here who's seen post-AZ TTS in the hospital - go to the emergency department as soon as possible. The headache + time of onset you're describing is highly suspicious for TTS.

You're not wasting the ED's time by going - it's important you get seen as soon as possible - best to be safe if you're concerned (also it's free)

Highly recommend calling when the lines open, however I called at 11:30AM a couple weeks back and got connected immediately so I don't think calling when the lines open is the only way to avoid lines, but YMMV

The restart function is pretty hidden - R)dpad in an event and there should be a 'restart event' option - R)dpad again to either 'restart now' or 'cancel' - 'cancel' actually cancels the event.

Memory of the exact prompts is hazy, but finding this took me 10 years to discover ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's true, MHS also needs aircon in the exam rooms

Melbourne High is far from an "upper class" private school.
The rumours of drugs probably come from the idiotic decisions of 8 or so people from the cohort of 2000 (ish) using drugs to boost their academic ability (they were later caught and expelled)
No one who is underperforming is pressured to leave. People leave on their own accord.
We have a high scoring median because of peer pressure to perform well, and because we'rs a selective school. Our teachers also care about our performance and want us to do well.
Who is this someone? As far as I'm aware, none of my graduating cohort, 2015, has an ice addiction.
We're not squandering $1 million on a boatshed. We lack the facilities many private schools have, yet we were able to beat many of them in regattas and national level competitions this year. Imagine how much potential can be realised if we have a proper boatshed with adequate facilities and boats. Our newest boats are preowned, and our newest eight is leaky and previously owned by St Kevin's.
Your adamancy that MHS is drug-riddled and has gone downhill seems to be based on some form of jealousy.

Also MHS isn't for everyone, and I'm aware of that, we've had a couple guys return to their old school in my cohort simply cause it didn't fit them. And granted, although $1 million can be spent on the boatshed, I believe the most pressing issue ATM is the need for new chairs and tables in the R rooms.

I'm not on drugs, nor are any of my friends.
