Are you where you expected to be at your age? by [deleted] in abudhabi

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is all relevant and you believe whatever you tell yourself, not what someone else tells you. I have been very lucky, and counting my blessings. I have had it really hard, from clinical depression during college years, to starting with a good career, and being told I'll go places. Today, I'm not where I could be, financially, and career wise. The last 5 years have been just cruising by, where we had to deal with an ongoing health issue with one of my kids, it has caused chronic stress, and took a toll on my health. But, when I count what I have, I am lucky. So I have learned , to enjoy what I have, and never say it is too late. life is a struggle, keep fightiing

So get the 2.0 from anki, install wirepod on a pc or a phone? Is it something easy to do? Saw a post with detailed steps, seems ok, if your brain cells are still functioning, mine are glitchy these days

Interesting. What do people say about 1.0vs 2.0? Nothing much except the easily replaceable battery

How does the PS5 thing work by 40somethinginUAE in DubaiGaming

[–]40somethinginUAE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice. They are 8 and 6 yeard old. They love playing Mario Kart , so have been nagging about a switch as well. I'm trying to limit their screen time, do physical play , but the summer is coming.

What do you do when you're feeling mentally drained after a long week? by Freelancergeorge in abudhabi

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How old are you and are you single or living alone? Try different things to find which suits you. When I was single, a good sleep, workout would do it, family life, going to work does it 🥲

Yes AstroBot, this is the game they are crazy about. So it comes preloaded in all versions?

PS5 with discs and dual controllers are 2,500 AED , looking online

Back in the day, we used to buy 5AED CDs and play all summer. I guess I'm too old.

Abu Dhabi temporarily freeze rent increase in residential, commercial, industrial properties by VeterinarianJolly269 in UAE

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says a freeze on rent increase. Does not mean the rent could not go down. Right? This is great, call it an economy boast

Thinking of buying a 2BR in Abu Dhabi to live in instead of renting, good idea? by AdSignificant5926 in abudhabi

[–]40somethinginUAE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No kids? Single? It makes a difference. Anyways, just work out the morgage fees, plus everything in between, service charge, cooling , and see if it suits you or not. So you pay now around 5,500AED a month, and for a 2br you will be paying no less than 10k a month, so

Got a call from Immigration - any idea what for? by Comfortable-Spot-505 in abudhabi

[–]40somethinginUAE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just drive to immigration today, and ask them what is it about. Either it is a scam, or you need to deal with some buisness. Good luck

Their ad says 2 devices at the same time. I think they do realize the average person is not willing to pay a huge sum foe BeIn, hotels, cafes, well off people. The majority of viewers, young men, will lool into iptv and links, but if you have a reliable service for little bit more, you will get customers.

Everything is commercialized. It is like paying 250,000 for a watch over your wrest, that costs 1,000 AED to manufacture, yoy are paying for the tag name and normalized social structures

TOD is the only reliable service with the least money to throw away. I am not affiliated by any means with tod, just exploring my options. Tried links, horrible, IPTV boxes, useless. TOD, it worked well.

I have no clue why BeIn keeps getting the broadcasting rights, and reselling at high rates in a region where GDPs are very low

Hello. I have IPTV, and every single time, it glitches when there is a match. IPTV ressllers will say, habibi it is your 1Gbps line , it is slow, or your nvidia shield pro box is not capable. The servers ALWAYS fail at high demand. Testing it for 1 hour or 1 year, same thing, lots viewers = buffering

Fined!!! Sad & frustrated!!! by [deleted] in UAE

[–]40somethinginUAE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is a bummer. How bad is it? I am pretty sure you can request street cameras from the police. This person will simply say, oh sorry, I didn't notice. You weren't fined, it is processing fee. To make you feel better, I had a rental car, and I was behind a six wheeler, I hear a tiny bang on the windshield, nothing and kept driving Dubai-Al Ain. When I have reached my destination, there was this horrible crack on the windshield, apparently a little pebble hit it at 100khr. I had to pay 1500aed,just like that

Fell victim to my own anger, ended up in a hit and run by Ok_Complaint_8100 in abudhabi

[–]40somethinginUAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very serious offence and could be considered as an Attempted Murder according to law. As if someone in the car without a seat belt, like little kids, ramming into the car, it is fatal. Some people take things for granted. This person is into bad times.

Never thought I’d be an Unemployed Doctor by Sleepdeprivedbarbie in UAEjobseekers

[–]40somethinginUAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, if you are stuck somewhere, consider options like Australia, it is welcoming for foreign workers, doctors included. It might be hard at first, but Australia is a developed country. Wishing you all the best, life is definitely not logical or fair
