happy new year everyone, first of all :)

now, hang-overs aside... has anyone been having headaches these past few weeks? last for a few days to week? People who almost never get headaches?

I've had this headache, and some general aches (back/neck) for the past week, and a wide range of friends have also said they've been having headaches they can't shake, even my brother as well.

My girlfriend thinks it might be the bushfire smoke? Which i think might be a good start, as my friends don't all know each other. In other words, it wouldn't be like, we were all at the same party, and all ate the same dodgy oysters. It's a wide mix of people, different parts of melbourne, etc...

I NEVER get headaches, so this is VERY strange to me as it's lasted for so long (bout 8 days now). And i find it very strange that all these other people i know are also having headaches, when they don't get them.

The only universal thing we could all have been exposed too would be the bushfire smoke, unless there is some other virus doing the rounds in melbourne?

anyone else have similar problems?

cheers,

daniel

I've been getting a very sore throat if I sleep with the window open.

Close the window = problem solved.

The major cause of headaches, is mild dehydration.

If your body is having to work a tiny bit harder to process all the smoke which is being pumped into it, and you're not drinking enough water to accomodate, then this will lead to headaches.

The heat by itself also plays a big part in this.

answer?

drink more water. :)

You'd probably need a really good masage from the Planet Holywood or something like that :).

I think you mean The Daily Planet....or so i've been told. :):)

Back on topic, yeah i've been getting little headaches, and i never get them unless i'm dehydrated. My prescription, drink more water and post back in a week. :D

the only ones i get are migraines - but thats once every now and then (not often) - and when I get them, Im out for the whole day! THe last time I slept from 7pm till 9am! and even after that I was very groggy and spent the next day inside the house.

but no - i dont have any headaches....

The smoke will not be helping, as it lowers the oxygen levels and makes you have to breath harder. The dry heat that we have been having will also dehydrate you a lot quicker, and you will not notice it. I have found that on the hot days that we have been having, I can lose up to 6 Kg's from 9 am in the morning to 7 at night, just from water loss, if I do not drink enough during the day (I tend to drink around 6 liters of water each day).

maybe it's a little comedown for running around and shit (i haven't drunk for over a year) -

i do actually drink a lot of water. When i'm home, i always have a full water bottle around, and constantly take swigs of that.

I also drink a fair bit of water at work because we have those taps that chill the water.

And i'm not an every day coffee/tea drinker. Might have a tea or coffee, 2-3 times a week. Sometimes maybe once a week.

back/neck aches part of dehydration as well?

and just throwing it out there, anyone know much about malaria? i have another theory :wave:

you been getting bushfire smoke up there? it's really the only environmental (as in, living conditions, not in the conservation sense) constant... unless there is some bug/virus floating around...

EDIT: and i take it you only have headaches rarely? have u had a headache for a while? any other problems? i friend of mine was different in that he was having the breathing difficulties. Which obviously points a lot more strongly to the bushfire smoke. But had the headache troubles as well, same as his girlfriend. My girlfriend seems to be fine.

it's quite intriguing.

maybe it's a little comedown for running around and shit (i haven't drunk for over a year) -

see now theres ur problem there to start with. u get pissed, forget bout the world n its all over.. ask bris

or go get a couple of noofs "headache" tablets

^ i haven't drunk for a year. i don't take anything, and i don't smoke.

It's not due to substance abuse, that's for sure.

EDIT: i think i'm slow, you mean, my problem is that i DON'T drink?

Guy's its caused by your MOBILE PHONE!!

You have been using more lately cause its Xmas and your ringing your mum etc etc.

SERIOUSLY!! In case you dont realise, it transmits RF power up near the same frequency that your microwave does that heats stuff!

Yeah I know its safe and proven by world experts to not be able to effect you etc etc - BUT its BULL!

Who is going to be first to admit that one of the worlds greatest profit makers could adversley affect anyone?

NOT a Govt that owns Telstra anyway.

If you want to know why I may? have any credibility see my website here:- http://www.cqdx11.com

Since GSM operates in 900 MHz & 1800 MHz bands using a maximum power of 2 watt for 900MHz and 1 watt for 1800Mhz, and Microwave ovens usually operate around 2.45GHz and generate around 700 watts i don't think you'll cook much with a phone.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
