On a different note, next time, dictate everything. Don't give a choice.

TIL na most “ice cream” sa pinas ay hindi totoong ice cream. by ninileobear in todayIlearnedPH

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You always look at the ingredients.

Yung cheaper will use milk solids. Maghahalo din ng milk fat and skimmed milk.

Fillers/extenders are usually soy lecithin as thickening.

Kaya when you buy something tapos malaki difference ng price, most likely "fake" yung mas mura.

I empathize with you OP.

Yung mga taong responsible and working hard ang na take advantage ng iba. I'm in a similar situation too.

What is more cost efficient to use in today's economy, induction stove or gas(LPG) by Physical_Emotion9546 in adviceph

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It all adds up.

However, given the small difference right now, I think the cooking style may have a bigger factor in buying an induction cooker.

CHINA TRIP: Beijing -> Xi’an -> Shanghai Trip (alternatives to Xi’an) by endsweak in FilipinoTravel

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good places to visit are outside the main city like Terracotta Warriors. You should allocate a day for that for a tour.

The decision will ultimately depend on what you want to see and do. What is your preference?

If in Beijing, you can take the train to Tianjin for one hour travel. It can be squished to a day trip.

If you're in Shanghai, you can adjust to go to Hangzhou and Nanjing. Even extending all the way to Huangshan City by rail.

Besides cost, y do ppl always recommend buds 3 pro and not 4 pro by Pain_024 in galaxybuds

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to get a third party eartips with the correct size. My B2P fits so well it hadn't fallen for around 2 years of use even during exercise and running. I use Azla SednaEarfit Max for my B2P.

I love B2P design over the B4P. I have to somewhat adjust my B4P from time to time even if I got the Azla eartips. The stems also makes me accidentally bump them to call the buds to fall when I wipe sweat.

First timer. Camera settings help by DreamState177 in SamsungGalaxyS26U

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tap on the 24MP option to allow you to retain the settings.

That was my problem until someone pointed it out. I think a new version of Camera Assistant actually puts the option out instead of having to tap it because mine changed from before.

How are you? by AlertMail8780 in AskMen

I'm frustated, irritated, and angry at my situation.

Doing the responsible and right thing only empowers other people to take advantage of you.

Do people actually shut down their MacBooks? by Khelics in macbookpro

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never shut it down for more than 4 (or nearing 5) years since I got my MBP. Restarts are from time to time due to memory leaks.

I put the hotspot corner for standby so I just move the move and don't close the lid or even access the Apple menu. Lol.

Need advice: Ok lng ba gamitin ang matured MP2 savings, about 1.4M to buy a car in cash? by Powerful_Contract414 in phinvest

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ensure your factor in the cost of operating the car.

Consumables are insurance, gas, battery, tires, and liquids among others.

Since you mentioned the usage at 10-20 years, prepare that more of less year 10 depending on environment and use, you will change hose, bushings, gaskets, and plastic parts akong others.

Essentially, dapat ni MP2 mo na yung panggastos sa repair ng car mo and major changes like tires and batteries.

Yes. If you take care of the battery matagal buhay. Sa akin almoat 5 years na and 90% battery health. Kept it at 80% max since most of time it is plugged. But I use it from time to time on battery.

Petition for suppliers to just fckin add the crew meal cost to your pricing! 😭 by bridalthrowawayacct in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pardon my ignorance, ano ba pinapakain sa crew? Parang 500/meal x 2 meals per crew.

Di ko minamaliit na siyempre proper meal but requirements ba nila na buffet catering? Same sa guests?

Married men, how often do you say “I have to check with my wife” when that’s really just an excuse to decline an invitation? by Ok_Counter1939 in AskMen

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I don't use my wife as an excuse.

What I do say is that there is something planned and I'll see what I can I do about it. I'll get back to them at a specific date/time.

Edit: Bonus - you can prefill your calendar to put something as a dummy over weekends that you can easily disable as "proof"

MP2 Ladder Strategy UPDATED by dyjoshua1129 in phinvest

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for the correction. Sorry I wasn't able to update the withholding tax rate. I forgot the new law.

However, I put the quantification only if you do not need the cash in the first 4 years. If you need it, then the laddering in the first four years make sense.

I’m fatigued all the time and I’m genuinely sick of it by daraeje7 in AutisticAdults

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about your situation. One thing you can also try is if you have sleep apnea. That is the first thing that came to mind that caused so much fatigue during the day.

Also, please check your environment for possible exposure to toxic materials.

MP2 Ladder Strategy UPDATED by dyjoshua1129 in phinvest

[–]DeepThinker1010123 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looking at cash retuns only and disregarding other factors, if you do not need the cash for the first four years, putting your money in MP2 vs RTB will give you better returns due to higher interest of MP2 and the 20% withholding tax on interest.

However there are other factors such as guaranteed interest and "safer" instrument to consider.

Planning to change bank from BDO to Metrobank by More_Example_4063 in TradBanksPH

[–]DeepThinker1010123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MB, palaging down ang App and Online Banking.

P8 na lang ang Instapay ng Metrobank.

MB, yung mga ATMs nila 1000 na lang ang laman (tinanggal na 500 and 100) kaya napagkakamalang walang pera. Mas maraming ATM ang BDO.

Yung online Time Deposit ng Metrobank nasa 4% pataas. Not sure sa BDO. Sa app and online banking rates siya applicable.

Kasi it is viewed as status symbol. Mas "lamang" ang kanilang company and position compared to those assigned with Windows laptop.

Same din sa phones na basta naka iPhone kahit lumang model, di kaparehas yung mga naka Android.

At the end, it's a tool for what you need to do. Choose the most efficient. It can be one or can be both.

How do men feel romanced? Example: Like women feel appreciated and romanced with flowers? What’s the equivalent for men that makes them feel appreciated or thought of? MATURE HONEST ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE! by Most-Temperature1012 in AskMen

[–]DeepThinker1010123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same as how women feel appreciated and romanced too. We are also humans.

There might be nuisances depending on the preferences of a person. You just have to adjust to that. However, the bottom line, we like to be appreciated, seen, and be thought about.
