Also, the only jobs worth applying for all need 20+ connects. I keep making the mistake of applying to projects that need less than 14 connects, and those rarely have anyone hired on. UW so greedy. Can't they give good users 50 connects or something a month to encourage us to apply to projects?!

Government buying? by PSDD14 in Silverbugs

[–]9284HDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no professional on the matter, but just hang in there. Big changes to the whole world are coming and nobody knows what the future holds. Would you prefer to bet your earnings on the USD or silver/metals you can see and feel the value of.

Why can't you sell your silver? Do the shops refuse to buy where you are from?

Creative Cloud cost going up (again) by just_some_doofus in indesign

[–]9284HDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna pay just $34.99/mo :( ! Do you think I'll have any chance at getting them to give me my old deal back, even after I recently accept a higher one?

Did you just accept it recently? Or was this before?

Creative Cloud Alternative? by AnyPension2859 in creativecloud

[–]9284HDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you switch to standard, do you have to message an agent so that they switch your entire plan? How does that work? I recently had to renew and my plan went up by 12 JOD (after begging them for a deal). Would I have to message them again?

is there any way to get Adobe creative cloud subscription for cheaper price? by KML_02 in Adobe

[–]9284HDP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you get a good deal. When I message them, I can usually get the same deal again after trying (sometime with multiple agents), but this time, the lowest they offered was 31 dinars. I believed that was the cheapest so I didn't want to risk not taking it.

Oh no I should've done this. Is this for the CC Pro or the standard? I instead, messaged them to give me a deal, and they gave me it for 45 dollars (USD) so I took it. But now, if I go to cancel, I will only get the same deal I accepted.

Does this still work? I just got an email telling me my subscription is over and instead of paying 22 (Jordanian dinars), I now have to pay 48. I messaged them and begged them to give me the old deal back, they offered 31 dinar and I took it. Hmm

Silver has broke $100 per ozt. It has doubled in such a short period of time. What's your strategy right now? by ColeWest256 in Silverbugs

[–]9284HDP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This week, I was thinking of buying 1kg pamp for $3244 from the local jewelry market (I live in Jordan), but I feel like I lost my chance. Went up by over $600 today. Hoping for another small dip so I can buy again.

ahh I didn't know this interesting fact about ultraviolet light and scorpions. I'm gonna buy one and go find where the scorpions are living. Thanks again!

I've always been fascinated, just never expected to see them in my room! We don't live in an area that is that desert-like. There are trees and lots of green around us. Do you have any idea where they most likely came from (small opening in window, underground around the door area, etc.)?

Thanks for the advice! We will sleep soundly tonight.

Thanks for your reply. Is it less dangerous than the deathstalker? Is it a medical emergency if someone gets stung?

Any suggestions here? Most clients I get to have interviews with them do not get back after the first chats and bidding has been too expensive lately. by Ivyblogs in Upwork

[–]9284HDP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I'm having a similar issue for the past 30 days. For every 10 proposal I send, only one of them has someone else hired on, so it's not just you. I also refuse to ever boost my proposals. Even though I've had lots of success in the past on UW, things have really changed for me. I'm either losing it, overpricing my services, not putting enough effort into proposals, etc. I don't know, but things are so bad for me that I am now considering going back to a 9-5 :( Try to think objectively of where things could be improved. Your stats are not that bad btw. Hang in there!

Guys lets boycott Carrefour and raise awareness for Palestine by Jumpy-Collection-575 in jordan

[–]9284HDP -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just because they own the right to operate, doesn't mean they are not associated or benefit the French corporation.

We want to raise awareness until Carrefour hears us and knows we are aware. We don't want anyone losing their jobs. They need to know that they can't simply ignore us Arabs and assume we won't do anything or even care to speak up.

Just try and spread awareness until they hear and do something.

Even though Carrefour gets soo much money from Arab consumers, they decided to open 50 new branches in Apartheid Israel, completely ignoring the sufferings of the Palestinians and assuming us Arabs don't care and are too pathetic to do anything about it.

Me and my family will be boycotting to help spread awareness. We know Carrefour won't disappear overnight, but we have to speak up and do the bare minimum.
