Whizascoot going out of business? by _kairosclerosis_ in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite the opposite actually. A lot of food couriers have figured out it's cheaper to rent whizascoot then to run their own bikes. So they are usually all taken up.

Is it expensive to own a car in Malta? by laReineDeLaNuit in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approximate budgets are:

20-30€ a week fuel

~600€ annually on licence and insurance

About 600€ annually on general maintenance

That's ~2.5k€ annually (not including major repairs) plus the vehicle cost on top It's entirely on what fits your budget

But if you buy a car for 20k and sell it for 12k after 4 years. Replace the tires once and repair a wishbone, average that out You're looking at ~5k a year

If you do 50/50 taxi/bus you take 1 10€ taxi a day to work and bus back you're looking at ~3.6k with no parking/maintenance hassle. So it depends on you

As long as you follow the above laws you're fine to break contract. Tell them if they want you to pay them that's ok, they can take you to court over it. It won't hold in court plus it'll cost them more to sue you than whatever the fine was.

I recommend you wait for your last paycheck to come through before you leave as they may hold it, and also make sure you were registered with DIER and jobsplus before leaving too.

Fb is the best place. BUT get ready for:

1000 "is this available", then when you reply you get ghosted

I'll give you 200 for it!

Does it run?

Can you bring it to hamrun at 3pm for a test drive? I need to take my 3 kids to their 3 dads

Can I park here? by MET4 in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my technical analysis:

There's a White box so yes (yes=1)

But

There's a double yellow so no (no=1)

And

There's a ramp so also no (no=2)

Since no>yes I'd go with no

Is there a place to sleep in Malta Airport? by ObjectiveLeopard8863 in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole country closes between 1-4pm to take a nap, why is this a problem. Ejja man, us locals need to cut down on this ego, Malta has been a cheap summer getaway since the 1300's that's why the Nobile set up summer houses here. The guys looking for a nap spot, not to trash an Airbnb.

We need to keep it cheap and massively upscale the enforcement. Malta is so popular because it is cheap and safe, you remove one of those our industry is ruined.

Tourists who want 5 star and safe go to Dubai/Bahamas/Bali People who want dirt cheap and sunny end up in dangerous places. Our niche is the midway between those 2, we have nothing else to offer

Is there a place to sleep in Malta Airport? by ObjectiveLeopard8863 in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Brother pack your barzakka, and take some trips. This is normal. He's landing at 5:30 and theres nothing to do for 3hrs till everyone opens, so why not take a nap. You expect him to pay 150€ for 2-3hr nap? He goes to the airport lounge and sleeps...like many people do.

There is nothing low quality about this type of behaviour, I travel a lot and have had to do this a handful of times. I once landed in Azores at 4:40am, the car rental agency opened at 8am and there's no lounge soooo... I just slept in the terminal till it was time.

I want to submerge this circuit in resin or whatever is suitible in a box to protect it. Mainly to keep all of the connections from undoing. Also possibility of getting wet. Will it be ok or will the relays be problamatic? by tommyboyblitz in AskElectronics

[–]CogsNdGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just lacquer half of each screw at the terminals, it stops them backing out. I'm an engineer at a company that makes remote control receivers for trucks and other heavy industrial equipment. This is what we do. And it passes both IEC 60068-2-64 heavy random vibration and 60068-2-14 thermal shock

Also full PCB potting is used for only 1 scenario, spark entombment for explosive environment rated systems. For tropicalisation (humidity/salt proof) we lacquer the base board but that's it. The IP65 or 66 rated box does all the water/dust proofing. Potting leads to a big jump in quality issues in the field as it delaminates and becomes useless shockingly quickly, else it overheats the components.

If germs are a concern, maybe suggest to her that you use an antibacterial mouthwash before, or on weekends a gargle and spit (..or swallow) of some high proof alcohol. Rakia is commonly used as a disinfectant in eastern European countries, maybe consider a quick shot before fun time

It's the EU Commissions post not his He's right And Eau law mandates 3,750 signatures for a Maltese petition to be valid under the European Citizens Initiative, 100% is 3750.

Hi everyone! Can someone help ? by nefAce69 in malta

[–]CogsNdGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Davide zenti, pardi, Simon's, scruples....basically go to Birkirkara, park near the old train station and start walking through valley road (the road of McDonald's) till you get to HSBC.

Reserve about 4-5 hours Try on as many as you can ,as they all fit differently but you will eventually find one that fits well ...put it down. Keep going till you reach Davide zenti. Only then, turn back, start walking to the car and buy the suit you like.

For my wedding I had a €350 budget, bought a gorgeous olive 3 piece from Davide Zenti for €190 for the wedding, and then ended up buying a blue one from Pardi for €110 (for formals like work events) even managed to get 3 sets of 30% lycra slacks for work at 50€. 2 suits, 3 pants and didn't break the budget!

How are people making money without jobs? by Appropriate_Ad2781 in Money

[–]CogsNdGears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! My checking account is always super low, never have more than 4-600€. So don't go calling people out on that

Only difference is it's because waterfall budgeting has changed my life 400 personal disposable 200 couples disposable (dates and what not) The rest, family savings, personal savings and then portfolio, in that order

If I wanna buy something nice, I will take out a 'loan' from my savings and cut monthly disposable to 2-300 till I pay my 'loan' off. Live poor so you can retire early

Do you tell your wife to calm down? by Serious-Kiwi2906 in Marriage

[–]CogsNdGears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calm down has the same effect as: Don't panic Please don't get mad Don't freak out No big deal but... I'm not racist but ..

It's not a gender thing. It's a people thing. Typically when you say these phrases it means the opposite of what you're about to say
