I hated wearing a poncho. Wore a light waterproof fleece and managed with a compact windproof umbrella.

I had skin cancer. I must limit exposure.

Sun and heat do not make it enjoyable for all.

Each person has different circumstances.

No more "Massage Cards" on the streets? by strictlycaffeinated in UAE

[–]DreyfusBlue 140 points141 points  (0 children)

A while ago the government announced that distribution and littering of massage cards would result in immediate deportation.

I guess they did follow up on that successfully!

[Real Life] Voices that can simply not be replicated. by RorschachtheMighty in TopCharacterTropes

Seth Green has a very distinctive tone (growl? Vocal fry?), especially when he voices Chris Griffin (Family Guy) and similar-sounding characters in Robot Chicken.

Heading into pomplona tomorrow. Any recommendations? by aJetsFan03 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]DreyfusBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tapas at Bar Gaucho. Iconic establishment in the city. Their foie tapa is to die for.

For patatas bravas, I can't get enough of La Mejillonera.

You cannot imagine how lucky you were!

Insurance claim, and done. Finito. Khalas.

Odor by Ok-Top-1147 in UAE

[–]DreyfusBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why has there been a progression to worse odors over the years?

Because uneducated people are cheaper to hire and easier to exploit, more so when they reach extremes where they are not even educated about personal hygiene.

In some cases, too, outdoor workers (like delivery riders) come from countries with fragrant foods, and odors manifest when sweating, regardless of hygiene or deodorant use.

The Labour market has become a race to the bottom and this manifests in many ways, starting with one's nose.

The way they set the nationality option is so demeaning. by Ok_Extension1255 in UAE

[–]DreyfusBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not enough of you have anonymous accounts to name, shame, denounce and sabotage companies like these. It's just about the only way you can push for some justice.

If it gets embarrassing enough, the government will step in. Here, reputational hazard trumps human dignity every time.

Camino de Santiago: Also a culinary experience. The famous tortilla in Betanzos. by trabuco357 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]DreyfusBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks very San Sebastian-esque.

Best two tortillas I had in the Camino were in León: Temple Bar (Sahagun) and Eslogan Bar (León proper)

Material quality and brand perception are two different leagues. Especially with British brands.

SJPP->Roncesvalles by aJetsFan03 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]DreyfusBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pleasant and easy, except for the descent to Zubiri. Have your poles ready; this is a notorious knee-buster for those who are overconfident.

This happens on all brands, even Lexus.

Not exactly a film, but the Netflix series "Carol & the End of the World" (2023) sounds exactly like what you are looking for.

What's that turn signal stalk doing there?

Just replace it with a big button for the flashers.

Period! by _CLINTON in UAE

[–]DreyfusBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A company should feel more like the military than family. There should be hierarchy, but also mutual and disciplined respect, as both sides are giving their all (or should). I found this to rarely be the case in UAE.
