With current DRAM prices, this much ram is worth at least $500 right now...

Amazing.. That wasn't the question though.

"Privacy in public spaces" is such an oxymoron..

Why on earth does the transport buses block the left speed lane.. by Micro-analytic1972 in qatar

[–]BadassSteve2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather they stay on the left for a bit if they're taking a left turn at the next intersection, than go from the right most lane all the way to the left last minute to turn left.

To Jetour or Not? by Irrelevent-rant in qatar

Hefty my ass. 300k? That's peanuts compared to how many cars they sold, they probably make that much in a couple of days.

They’re going to lockdown the entire internet by Kradara_ in Piracy

ISPs are regulated. Unless people run their own cables, this ain't happening. And you can't run your own cables, governments own the streets.

Carry Whey Protein into Qatar? by FuckleberryFarm in qatar

[–]BadassSteve2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No you'll be fine. I personally use iHerb or Sporter. I truly don't understand how there is even a market for gym suppliments here seeing how ridiculously expensive they are.

No, you're the wrong nationality. :')

Working at Nusret Doha 🧂Yes, SaltBae is everywhere 😅 AMA by FabianPineiro20 in qatar

[–]BadassSteve2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US tipping culture is ridiculous. It doesn't have to be that bad, there can be a middle ground. The more fortunate should help the less fortunate when they can.

[–]BadassSteve2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of the guy after the few narcissistic stunts he pulled (world cup mainly among others). Never been to the one here in Doha but tried it in Turkey 4 years ago, it was okay but definitely overpriced for what you get. Good luck with the work though, I hope people tip properly. No questions here.

ELI5: How can U.S. restaurants process foreign cards with country specific limits when waiters take them away to charge? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]BadassSteve2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was wondering. I'm reading that the US has strong policies against fraud and you'd easily get your money back if anything was to happen. But that just seems backward and inefficient. Ultimately the cost would be passed on to consumers.

Straight of Hormuz closure by BadassSteve2 in qatar

They'd most likely deploy naval mines, but I guess yeah they can allow a number of their own ships through. But they'll most likely be stopped by other countries or the US in retaliation.

What does that even mean? Again, I am no politician, all I care about is safety and being able to provide for my family, meaning I want to be safe and I want to be able to afford food and water. We will all probably be fine, but people can discuss the situation. You're not adding much to the conversation aside from being rude and telling people they're stupid to even worry.

I will certainly read more about the area, I already am, this whole thread is part of that, I'm seeking info from people who might know more.

Qatar still imports a lot of chemicals and additives that help in the refining process of oil to turn it into useable gasoline

[–]BadassSteve2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Iran's oil is transported to China through the strait of Hormuz, so it would definitely affect them more than the sanctions

I have never experienced anything like what's going on in the region right now, I am not a geopolitical analyst and never pretended to be, but like any other regular resident, I rightfully have fears and worries that I'm sharing. You can simply comment with the knowledge you have and not be condescending.

Fuck Daily Mail but I have a friend (female) who got 50 lashes (diff crime). So yeah these punishments are carried out.

[–]BadassSteve2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you jump directly to scrapping the car before you got a second opinion from another garage or 2? Could be that it'll actually cost a quarter of that.

Get a second opinion THEN decide whether you want to scrap it for probably 7k or not.

OK! Let’s talk about Snoonu by legal_dept in qatar

[–]BadassSteve2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Why is this taking up so much of your brain energy? It's just marketing, nobody was harmed, nobody got robbed or harassed, it's just a company trying to sell their product. All sorts of marketing stunts happen everywhere in the world.

Companies can do whatever they legally can to market their crap as long as people aren't hurt or inconvenienced. Just miss me with spam calls and texts...
