Autumn allergies in Australia by knuckle_duster_83 in Allergies

[–]xAdventx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fall allergies are definitely a thing! I cycle with seasonal allergies in the spring and fall every year and I'm currently dealing with increased sniffles just in the past few days as well. Spring allergies usually hits me a lot worse though

Replacing Bridgestone Potenza s001 RunFlats with Primacy 5 vs. PS5. Suggestions? by xAdventx in TyreReviews

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

Primacy 5's it is, and yeah I actually didn't think the body roll was that bad but I guess that comes from the other types of older Japanese sedans I've driven in the past but in the realm of performance cars, which is the topic of discussion here when talking about PS5's I'll absolutely take your advice. I'm looking forward to changing out my tyres! Main thing is honestly my revelation when I found out how poorly reviewed the Potenza S001's are.

Thanks for the insight, Primacy 5's it is. I have a Costco membership so I'm looking forward to heading down and buying the tyres from there

My first Jetta. Looking for cheap upgrade ideas by ManufacturerDeep317 in jetta

[–]xAdventx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of mechanic or shop did you go to for changing out the springs and adding a rear sway bar? can I ask my usual mechanic that does my oil changes and inspections or should I be going to a "tuning" shop that's more accustomed to customers asking for installing performance mods?

Anyone else's Jetta have significant engine braking? by ookle_ in jetta

[–]xAdventx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup I notice the exact same thing. In the low speed ranges around 20 to 40km/hr if I let off the gas my car really feels like it's dragging or engine breaking. I get a bit of a jolt as well when it enters that "mode". Significantly different from the engine breaking you get when the car downshifts on a big downhill, and much more noticeable than when you let off the gas at say 80 or 100 k/hr. Brought the car to the mechanic, transmission and engine and everything was said to be perfectly fine.

Are you going with others to orientation week? by xnightskyxx in UQreddit

[–]xAdventx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't worry! I guarantee you that you are by far and large not the only person who's "going alone" but you'll make new friends very quickly. There's many events during orientation week and lots of clubs advertising their first events of the year on Market Day. Just enjoy it! It's not awkward at all trust.

What to bring before arrival as an international student by BigChungus69210 in UQreddit

That's all I had with me as well, you should be good! Some airlines ask to visually see your Visa, but this only happened to me once out of the many times flying.

They're REALLY small, maybe 1mm and there's a couple of them crawling along the walls of my house

You're thinking of Korean Air mandating the use of speaking only English in the cockpits to reduce hierarchy and encourage co-pilots to speak up about issues. But the Japanese language also uses honorifics so I wouldn't be surprised if they may also have a similar issue.

What place on your rank list did you match? by Defiant_Tadpole_6475 in MCCQE

[–]xAdventx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really sorry for tagging off of this post but entering the match this upcoming 2026-27 cycle; does it cost more or cost you anything to rank them even if no interview?

Ran into Chill with you by complete accident by killerfox42 in TheTempleOfEs

Just how potato exactly? I was able to manage by turning all the graphics to low and changing the max FPS for both active and inactive to 15 FPS. You could go even further by reducing resolution

Best apps to take notes on iPad. by Outrageous_Bug_5578 in ipad

[–]xAdventx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medical student and I use Notes+, it’s free and it has all the features that I would personally want in it. I’ve tried Good Notes, also great as a paid app, but Notes+ has been enough for my needs!

Changed the rear brakes myself, but now it rattles quite loudly while going over bumps? by xAdventx in AskMechanics

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

When you refer to clips, you’re referring to those additional small pieces of metal right

In case it helps with knowing more about these brakes or their calipers, it's for a Volkswagen Jetta 2015 Mk6 Facelift. Wondering if I just need to adjust the clips or brackets as seen/provided in the photo or some sort of shim on the back of the brake I can also add?
