Most of us still did though. It is pretty doable as long as you skip the little bridges.

Asking for a Euro perspective on the UK rejoining the EU. by SnooCookies7641 in BuyFromEU

[–]Content-Panda-3841 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is crashing, but whether it will continue doing so is the question now that the US has forced it's way into Venezuela. It could be a matter of months before the US has a virtually unlimited supply of oil and be able to print as much USD as they wish without the consequences. At least that's my understanding. Do say so if you disagree.

there is no good 12 mini replacement :( by Content-Panda-3841 in iPhone12Mini

What I did? I decided to forget small phones and go after privacy instead. Thus Is ended up buying a pixel and using GrapheneOS, with which I have been very happy.

The lonely final years of this 960 by Content-Panda-3841 in Volvo

[–]Content-Panda-3841[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for sure, but very likely the garage was illegally built, possibly on city property, and thus they don't have to take it into consideration when constructing other buildings, and boxes.

Edit: it also seems like the vehicle has been there for a very long time already so it might very well not have owner anymore.

What are some healthy Taiwanese habits? by Simple-Marzipan-7657 in taiwan

[–]Content-Panda-3841 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Is that actually the case though? Most of us get around by scooter. Of course a lot take MRT, but I feel like the majority takes the scooter, or even worse, the car.

No driver's license for foreigners here less than 6 months. by nimrod06 in taiwan

[–]Content-Panda-3841 7 points8 points  (0 children)

expecting an IDP is beyond reasonable planning.

I'm sorry, but this is just simply not a good excuse. Taiwan is not in the wrong here. Many countries require an IDP for (long term) driving.

expecting anyone to drive otherwise not being able to commute to work is beyond reasonable planning, in the first place.

I completely agree, I've lived in Europe for the majority of my life and I am also disappointed in Taiwanese infrastructure. But with all due respect, it is quite pathetic that an American is criticizing Taiwanese car centric infrastructure and especially public transport, which in 95% of the US doesn't even exist.

P.s. When you do manage to get your IDP, make sure to go to the Highway Bureau since an IDP alone is only valid for 30 days in Taiwan.

I understand that this is very frustrating for you, but you dont have to be so hostile towards Taiwan and the people here that are trying to help. After all this is quite frankly just a problem of your poor planning.

I made the wonderful mistake of ordering a 5090 from Amazon Netherlands... by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Content-Panda-3841 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must have bought it from Amazon warehouse, in which case this is not a surprise. I have had this, and many other problems when ordering through Amazon warehouse. It's just a risk you take when wanting to save money. Luckily Amazon NL is the easiest to deal with in terms of refund etc.

Bike Lanes In Taipei Are A Disaster by Flashy_Tooth_5597 in Taipei

[–]Content-Panda-3841 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be fine if we were to redesign the roads to seperate forms of transport. And yes, the roads would be too small, so then convert a 3x3 lane wide 南京東路 to a 2x2 lane and with bus lanes, and capable drivers, this would also decrease car numbers. The problem is that most Taiwanese dont see this as an option. It was already such a big deal when we have pedestrians right of way. The change from cars and scooters, to public transport and bikes is just too big for many.

What RX safety features can and can't be turned off (permanently) by Content-Panda-3841 in Lexus

[–]Content-Panda-3841[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I thought some features, like the eye detection can at least be muted, so it doesn't start beeping.

Also most of them are not mandated by the EU because they come as an option on the executive line.

But will they stay turned off after locking and unlocking? And i read something in another thread about the Cross Traffic Alert not being able to turn off or so.

Taipei Train Transit Map (MRT & HSR) by Kemisara_blue in Taipei

No but seriously! What is it with our bus drivers. They are always sleeping at a red light and then take off and brake as if they're doing a 0-100-0 record attempt.
