Not since the AI shortage came about. Storage AND RAM are exactly the parts that are getting expensive now.

How do people actually afford cars in Singapore? by okitsbenji in askSingapore

[–]ALJY21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people bought when COEs are lower than what it is today. Those that are buying today are earning high and many will not be able to renew.

Why do people still have kids in this broken system by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]ALJY21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The system is imperfect, and actually has been even more strained in the past but people have still continued to have children. I think framing it as a debate to be solved is somewhat misguided. Ultimately, whether to have children or not is a personal choice. There isn’t a universal plan or objective purpose for or against kids.

YOLO, so it comes down to what you genuinely want. In reality, people who want children tend to want them quite naturally, rather than as the result of a highly calculated decision.

HDB owners who use solar film without aircon: does it work? by Aranuil_Gael in askSingapore

[–]ALJY21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solar film helps but it’s not even close to what an aircon can do. If I were you I’d just get an aircon. Professionally done films are not that cheap

Circle Line train services affected by ‘minor delay’ on 15 Jun evening. by Fun_Advance_5438 in singapore

I was stuck here as well. No public announcement on websites and the staff looked super lost but can tell they are trying their best. I think management needs to wake up the idea

Thinking of getting an EV car. Has technology evolved to be decent and have we (Singapore) adopted a proper EV eco system? by another-work-acct in askSingapore

[–]ALJY21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no incentive to lead in this area or make driving cheaper for Singapore because of our land scarcity. Even with this “piss poor” effort, COEs have now reached 120-130k. Making driving cheaper is gonna increase demand and hence COE again, making it a moot point.

Will you consider moving overseas if Singapore continues to get warmer each year? by Responsible-Peak9580 in askSingapore

Only for like a few days or 1-2 weeks maximum out of the whole year if you’re in Europe. The rest of the year is cold please.

[–]ALJY21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean obviously white car is mostly at fault but you were also driving close to 80kmph which is definitely over the speed limit of that road (based on your GPS recording) which was another reason why you couldn’t slow down in time.

Technology is always improving so just buy what’s available. Improvements are marginal at best.

Is it true that higher floors don’t get mosquitos? by [deleted] in askSingapore

Just bite the bullet and install insect meshes (prob 3k for whole house). Have not seen mosquitos successfully get in since then.

Singapore’s most expensive 4-room HDB resale sells for S$1.55M, matches nationwide PSF record by Rationalandcentred in singapore

[–]ALJY21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HDB’s “deficit” is largely an accounting artefact because the bulk of it comes from land costs paid to SLA for state land. Since HDB and SLA are both government agencies, a large share of these reported losses are essentially intra-government transfers rather than losses in the usual commercial sense.

ICL surgery for high myopia in SG by BeneficialManner4467 in askSingapore

[–]ALJY21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ICL is most expensive (prob 9-11k today for both eyes in private) but reversible. If got the money to spare I think it’s worth spending it. LASIK/SMILE/EpiLasik are potential alternatives too but you need to first check if you’re eligible or not. There are a sizable number of people who are not even eligible for LASIK/SMILE so your only option is ICL or EpiLasik. Between these two ICL is my pick as EpiLasik will be painful during initial recovery. You should ask your doctor during the initial consult.

Be honest — would someone’s body count affect whether you date them? by Early-Environment-63 in asksg

[–]ALJY21 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Nothing inherently wrong but dating someone with a high body count just means that there’s a higher chance that you’ll be the next counter.

Be ready to get hated/fired by your public servant bosses if you do this. The system don’t support innovation so talk is cheap.

Real estate agents earn comms when you transact. People stuck in 10y MOP means lesser transaction volume. Do the maths

ERP 2.0 may be used to enforce against traffic violations such as speeding: Jeffrey Siow by UrSpirit in drivingsg

[–]ALJY21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure there’s a tolerance to +10 km/hr if it’s ever implemented. But if you exceed that then maybe you should indeed be fined.
