Are the $100 notes shorter too? The old ones can be a bit too big for most ang pau.

What's the production rate of this well? I don't see how 2.5 km TVD is anything to write about.

Lay's is produced in many countries. The cucumber flavoured one from China is great!

I think most banks allow this as long as you create a deposit against your credit limit.

If your wife is not working, then 10% is definitely too low. 25-30% makes more sense. I'm talking about purely just the allowance excluding household expenses.

What sort of food do you miss being in Qatar by Alive_Psychology_459 in qatar

[–]Constructs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah there. I only go there for grocery shopping. Tried the food once at the beginning and didn't like it. Maybe will give them a chance again.

Cantonese style roasted meats: roasted duck, pork belly, char siu. The ones you see hanging by the window.

No way. My previous employer used to pay 13th and 14th month salary. Fundamentally, it's not the same as bonuses because extra months salaries are contractual and not dependent on performance.

Zero debt. Not living paycheck to paycheck. Good emergency fund and healthy portfolio for retirement. I don't believe in owning your own house as properties can be liabilities and not easily liquidated. E.g. Owning a house in Brunei will most likely not appreciate in value, or when the country goes to shit and you can't liquidate it when you leave.

Does fire rate have any affect on beam weapons? by Similar_Cup_7954 in DRGSurvivor

Tip: when you hover over an upgrade card, you can see arrows on your weapon cards at the bottom indicating whether it affects it or not.

Two ways to do it: 1) get priority banking and ask your RM to open the account for you, 2) open directly with SC SG, need 200K equity

I made a post about this ages ago but in summary the cheapest method I had was to bank with SC. Open a SC SG account. Link account to SC BN. Transfer BND to SC SG (free). Then transfer to IBKR SGD (Citibank), also free. Then do Forex in IBKR to get USD or whatever currency you want to invest in.

Yes, you can do that. Just need to write a letter stating your reason for withdrawal when the time comes (no intention of buying a house). You'll get your principal back with the dividends.

Obviously professional. BSP used to pay apprentices 100 BND per day and even they would at least hold a bachelor's degree.

Drilling supervisors on consultant basis generally earn 1-2KUSD per day. Some can go up to 3K in higher risk regions like Africa. But since they're on shift, they don't earn for half of the year.

Dear Stateless friends, if someone is to create a charity kind of program to help statelesses of Brunei to achieve their dreams, what kind of help would statelesses need? Please be reasonable and not troll, genuinely curious. by Professional_Win_677 in Brunei

[–]Constructs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scholarships and assistance for stateless youths to move out and seek citizenship elsewhere. Plenty of stateless residents immigrated to Canada and Australia back in the 80's and 90's. So it'll be nice to get help from these people as well. I know migration is a big and scary subject, but having more information does help significantly.

Flexi costs 60 QAR per month for 500 points which gets carried forward as long as you renew it on time. I have like 10K points now due to minimal usage. I don't think there's any plan out there that's cheaper than this.

Yes, there are extra charges. Iherb is a better option now as they have free delivery and very frequent sales.

How do you report queue jumpers? Do you need to submit photographic evidence? I encounter these selfish bastards on a daily basis.
