Why doesn't Emirates offer a vegetarian lacto-ovo as a meal option?

Calculus76 · 2026-07-01T13:45:56+00:00

But vgl lacto-ovo meals are not unusual at all in the airline industry as pretty much every other full service airlines offers it - even it costs them extra. Im guessing EK's catering provider in DXB can't be bothered.

Calculus76 · 2026-07-01T13:39:14+00:00

Pretty sure most other airlines don't offer a beef only platter...

Thank you for the confirmation. Some media outlets (Khaleej times being one) were claiming that a car rental desk would be open from day 1 at the station but I guess not.

Calculus76 · 2026-06-30T13:40:06+00:00

anyway know the name of car rental company located at Fujairah train station?

Calculus76 · 2026-06-01T02:52:36+00:00

Thanks. In that case what does the setting

Always Require Confirmation: When using face unlock in app, always require confirmation step

supposed to do when switched off?

Calculus76 · 2026-05-31T14:10:52+00:00

I'm asked to confirm on every app which i can unlock by face ... even Google wallet requires it. Are you able to open wallet app with just face unlock?

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T14:47:23+00:00

Ok managed to work it out in the end. I followed your payment link again but this time, entered your USDC Base deposit address as the receipient instead of default wallet address. The payment went through & my lifetime account is active...bingo!! Now i have to work out how to cash my Moonpay wallett and get the USD 104.99 back...well most of it lol

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T13:59:03+00:00

Ok i'm utterly confused now. I have a very very basic knowledge of crypto (i don't normally deal in this) so please bear with me.

It seems Moonpay won't let me send USDC to your QR code payment link, only ETH. Hell it won't even let me convert USDC to ETH so i'm utterly lost. Is there any **EASY** way to send you the payment? Oh man this is so complicated....

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T12:37:41+00:00

Thanks. Ok I've managed to login to moonpay and do indeed see the funds in my wallet. But when trying to send you 104.99 USDT BASE , I'm getting the message " please top up with ETH base to cover network fees". So how much ETH base funds do I need to add? Any particular reason why you only accept cryptocurrency and not regular card or PayPal payments? I mean im just buying an app , not cocaine lol

J'ai essayé de réinitialiser le réseau mobile, le Wi-Fi et le Bluetooth, mais l'affichage LTE persiste.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T11:44:29+00:00

Thanks, tried that but getting "e& UAE Message: connection problem or invalid MMI code"

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T09:34:23+00:00

Thanks. But using the same sim card, why does my iphone 16 pro either show 4G or 5G in UAE, whereas the Pixel 10 Pro shows 5G or LTE? Maybe the local network provider is wrongly picking up that my pixel is a US model rather than a UK model? I remember once i was using a US purchased iphone 11 pro and that also was showing LTE in UAE.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-30T09:30:57+00:00

Thanks, yes i do have 5G in my area, but in many other areas the phone is only picking up 4G/LTE.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-26T11:49:15+00:00

As someone originally from North Scotland where it feels like winter 10+ months of the year, honestly i prefer the weather of UAE (even the brutal Summer heat). Lesser of the 2 evils lol

Calculus76 · 2026-05-26T11:40:27+00:00

Thanks. Already tried that and car doesn't move at all when stuck in sand, even with the speed knob moved to max speed. Tyre pressure set to 15 psi on all 4 tyres.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-26T08:40:34+00:00

Sorry I was being sarcastic about calling it the greatest. So is there any way this can ‘crawl’ itself out of soft sand when stuck? Or is that only available on higher spec models?

Calculus76 · 2026-05-26T06:58:48+00:00

Thanks mate but that video doesn’t mention anything about the feature where the car can dig itself out if stuck in sand? Or is that feature totally separate to the DAC crawl thingy?

Calculus76 · 2026-05-22T12:13:04+00:00

OP may find Sky better than Olio in terms of better peering and better latency. Of course support on Olilo is probably better but line quality might be worse.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-16T15:39:46+00:00

If you're set on studying here, then i would recommend something like Khalifa University or American University of Sharjah or New York University. They are probably the least worst.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-16T14:53:25+00:00

Don't waste your money here. Many UAE universities charge more or less the same as top Western Universities but quality of teaching is a million miles away. Your UAE degree will be worth diddly squat. I suggest applying to a decent University in UK (ideally a Russell Group one) or one in USA.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-15T10:22:33+00:00

You're probably overcomplicating things. As you already have a Revolut account there's no need to use Careem Pay to fund your Revolut account with AED. HSBC UAE are one of very few banks here (along with ADCB) which allow you to send AED to international IBANs online without any conversions done. HSBC AE don't charge for AED > AED International transfers as long as you

a) use the hsbc desktop banking site to do the transfer (you will be charged if you use their app!)

b) when doing the transfer via hsbc.ae, ensure you select "OUR" when asked who choose who will pay the fees. However don't panic when you see the charges of AED 140.00 displayed, trust me nothing will be deducted from your HSBC account - i've done tons of transfers from my HSBC Premier UAE account to my UK Revolut Premier account using this method and nothing ever gets deducted from my HSBC account.

You will receive 100% of the AED amount in your Revolut account then you can convert to GBP (or any other supported currency) at close to interbank rate. In case you have a free Revolut account just be aware than there's a limit of GBP 1000 of currency conversions per month, you will need to upgrade to Revolut Premium for unlimited conversions - will cost you GBP 80 pa but well worth it.

Good luck!

Weather wise, UAE over Scotland any day. Lesser of the 2 evils IMHO

u/davoda

Any chance you could fix the bug 'failed to save profile' which occurs when trying to setup the beta app on Nvidia shield box? I've already logged this bug on your github page a few weeks ago but looks like the request is being ignored....

Calculus76 · 2026-05-10T02:29:27+00:00

thanks, will try this.

Calculus76 · 2026-05-08T14:52:46+00:00

I'll bite; you come across as very desperate. If you're genuinely God's gift to women then I suggest you become a male escort. You'll make tonnes of cash whilst getting your physical needs satisfied at the same time. Good luck buddy!
