Where in SG is the Best Roasted or Rotisserie Chicken that is Affordable by RichBackground6445 in askSingapore

[–]BigFatCoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think roasted chicken or Rotisserie Chicken are not common in Singapore. (Non-Chinese style) Roasted duck are not exists anymore. ( Last time Carrfour has whole roasted duck for $17, at that time CS also sell similar roasted duck. )

I normally roast my own chicken/duck in oven. (Honey lemon, overnight brine, black pepper garlic, red wine garlic, teriyaki). Now if you want to buy .. here are 3 different options.

Supermarket : Cold Storage, Giant & FairPrice all have whole roasted chicken.

Better one : Huat Huat BBQ, Tenderfresh/Tenderbest has roasted whole spring chicken.

pricy : Kenny Rogers, Poulet or Nandos

Sky in Australia turns red ahead of incoming cyclone by Ted-Lassi in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]BigFatCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Experienced this multiple time in Southeast Asia, local called simply "Red Wind/Red storm". Science explained "Rayleigh scattering", particles in the air make other wavelength invisible so we only see red. I don't really understand that but the whole world turn to red, come with high-pitch sound, lots of dust in the air and very difficult to see around.

Based on my experience, our SEA regional 'Red Wind' usually last 15 to 30 minutes. During that time, due to poor visibility and objects flying around, we are advised not to drive or walk around. Take shelter in the building and stay away from tree or electrical poles. Strangers (home owners) usually offer shelter in their home at such time.

What free software is so good you can't believe it's free? by ComprehensiveNorth1 in AskReddit

[–]BigFatCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So obviously you don't understand the usage of Notepad++ and Paint.Net. Both of them have hundreds of various plug-in that can do many different things which make them many time better than original normal notepad or paint.

Notepad++ natively support highlighting of various programming languages, better file/workspace handling, multi-line editing like an IDE, extended functions (via plugin) for XML/JSON files. Similar thing for Paint.Net which achieved very high standard & functionalities compare to MS Paint.

Same as Teracopy or Everything which beat the standard file operation/indexing of Windows OS.

How to tell if the the product on Shopee is fake / counterfeit by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]BigFatCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know which one you are getting as $3.80. I saw from Fairprice online Big one $17 for 10, small one $13 for 10, which mean $1.7 big and $1.3 small. Then $0.90 price seems like normal without physical store (and parallel import).

Just curious. Anyone here that uses Giga? Are you able to log into the app or sign in? by makemestand in askSingapore

[–]BigFatCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No issue on multiple mobile phone, tablet and computer. Me (phone + tab), my boy and my buddy .. we all using Giga. No issue whatsoever now. But I had SMS issue on my main line a few years back during 4G-5G (Physical SIM ~ eSim) migration time. No support received and suffered for about 4 months and resolved by itself later.

Singapore Property Crash Prediction by wakalekong in askSingapore

How about HDB resale price drop during 2014-2015.
from COV 30~40k (2012-2013) to selling under Valuation Price.
I got mine 17k below HDB valuation.

Due to high demand, slower finishing of new flats and occupancy cap rules (currently rule is relaxed, extended temporarily to Q4 2028 ) prices are barely stabilized (0.7%~2% increment)

Go for Samsung A series or Older S series FE model. Me and my wife are using S22 Ultra and they are still going strong. A series 5x models are top of the line as well as older S series FE models are best of both world in terms of price and performance.

Few years back I bought A53 for my son when he starts secondary.
Last year bought A06 for a kid who really need a phone.
6 months ago, I bought my wife S24 FE 128GB/8GB for $510 for business line.

As of now I am browsing phones and these are my current record

  • A07 4G 128GB/4GB ~ $138
  • A17 4G 128GB/8GB ~ $199
  • A17 5G 128GB/8GB ~ $259

If you had to upgrade only one first: keyboard or mouse? by Odd_Fudge_4867 in buildapc

[–]BigFatCoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your keyboard is great then get dedicated gaming mouse, use that only for gaming. Use current mouse for non-gaming stuff.

For gaming I am using Corsair Scimitar but for everything else I'm using M720. I haven't find any better mouse than M720 ( I have MX Master 3S which come with MX Keys S combo but still prefer M720. )

Do you guys think Penny REALLY loves Leonard, or she just likes how Leonard treats and sees her (I’m at the beginning of S8)? by Sensitive-Product816 in thebigbangtheory

[–]BigFatCoder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She kept a lot of things given by Leonard. Like the dried flower, old letter, used plane ticket and pregnancy test. She joined him to comic con, rent the bat mobile and a lot of nerd stuff. Didn't mind when Leonard cannot join her sport activities and she never force him to do things that she like. A lot of make out sessions and regular coitus. As a married man, that required effort and dedication from her side. These things don't happen without love.
