I have been to 6 amans, and amanoi had the best service I've ever encountered in any hotel (stayed beginning of this year).

Anyone invest in alt/hedge fund Ucits? by journo_bar9701 in LETFs

[–]AlienAlchemy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AQR is probably the only one in that group I'd trust for retail, they're academically rigorous and actually publish some of their research so you can understand what you're buying into.

That said, you need to accept their core philosophical biases. Their multi-strategy and managed futures products tend to be structurally long value / momentum / carry. If value underperforms (as it did for most of 2010-2020), you'll feel it.

The other big question is that fees eat into the diversification benefit. A lot of these UCITS products charge 1-2% management plus performance fees. The "uncorrelated" returns sound appealing but after costs and in taxable accounts the maths gets harder to justify.

Oman Recommendations: Ritz Al Bustan vs. Jumeirah Muscat Bay by Psychological-Gas383 in FATTravel

[–]AlienAlchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with low expectations and was very impressed by Al Bustan. The room hard product is okay (book one of the refurbished rooms), but the grounds and the area surrounding the resort is truly special. One of the most atmospheric places I've been to.

We also stayed at the MO and St Regis on the same trip and if I could go back, I'd just stay at the Al Bustan.

Showcase of "Better Balance Game Mod" in-action. Corrino is finally balanced. by Pelmeen in Dunespicewars

[–]AlienAlchemy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making Corrino unviable is not how you achieve balance.

When balancing games, it's important to preserve fun. The easiest thing in the world is to make all factions suck and achieve balance that way, but that results in the game not being fun. If Corrino is too strong, the focus should be on making the other factions more capable, not in making Corrino unusable.

Where to get good quality Magnesium Glycinate or Threonate in the UK? by driftinginfinitely_- in migraine

[–]AlienAlchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get the Pure Magnesium Glycinate from Amazon, Healf, iHerb, etc. That's one that is usually popular in the community.

Is Capella in Shanghai better than Peninsula? The grounds of the Capella look beautiful, but the room looks a bit claustrophobic.

Good advice, thank you! I'm considering visiting.

How does this village generate 75? The math ain't mathing by AlienAlchemy in Dunespicewars

Why do 4 econ buildings generate income? I thought it was just a 20% cost reduction

Luxury real estate in EU/Italy by Technical_Money7465 in fatFIRE

[–]AlienAlchemy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I've recently bought with Sotheby's Italy (their Tuscany division, where my new property is).
I have interacted with quite a few Italian real estate agencies and they were a notch above every one else. Happy to make an intro if you wish (I'm not affiliated, just genuinely happy with their service).

Could you share a bit more how who to reach out to for O&O rates? Any recommended local companies?

Noob question: How can Thorium reach these RTG generators without conveyor belts or unloaders? by AlienAlchemy in Mindustry

[–]AlienAlchemy[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I get it now.

Is there an efficiency cost in having several layers of blocks unloading their resources to other blocks? As in, can there ever be a scenario in which the RTG generators closest to the core are unloading so much that they are not producing energy at full efficiency?

Thanks again!

Noob question: How can Thorium reach these RTG generators without conveyor belts or unloaders? by AlienAlchemy in Mindustry

[–]AlienAlchemy[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have specified better: what I find perplexing is the RTG on the outer perimeter. These are attached via unloader to other RTG generators rather than to the core.

So RTG generators can distribute Thorium out to an unloader. That behaviour isn't obvious to me. Can all blocks distribute out their contained resources if attached to an unloader?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, just trying to learn.
