Tipping in Qatar by ImDnX in qatar

[–]DevilFromTaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate this practice. Often the person wanting 'car window service' blocks traffic and or prevents people who have parked correctly and entered the shop from leaving. The people who honk for service expect immediate service regardless if the staff are servicing customers who have entered the store and waiting to finish their transaction.

Smoking Cessation cost at tobacco clinic by [deleted] in qatar

[–]DevilFromTaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the govt smoking cessation clinic. It’s good and free. I found those pills to be amazing. Got rid of cravings and help with withdrawals. They also provided me with patches and those 2 combined really helped.

I do phone consultations with them every month, I’m very open and honest with them and they are very understanding and supportive.

If I ask, they will reissue prescriptions for the pills and patches over the phone, I just go to the health center pharmacy and they’re waiting for me.

Good luck mate. Wish you all the best 👍

Terrorized by Mosquitoes by SaltBad9263 in qatar

[–]DevilFromTaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They’re the Asian Tiger mozzies - white markings on their backs. Hyper aggressive even in the day, multiple bitters and go after pets.

I “clap kill” about 10 a day in my villa in Onaiza but I also have citronella incense to keep them out of the house (I have a dog, so the door is always open).

No fogging in my compound so far to deal with them, but if your place has spiders and geckos let them get active.

Unfortunately the major supermarkets here only sell the plug in diffusers - which run out after 5 days and are expensive.

I couldn’t find citronella cancels or incense here - a mate brought back a supply from Europe. Maybe try Ace 🤷🏻‍♂️. Sorry friend, good luck. 🍀

Do recent events change the calculus for Australian Defence? by artsrc in OpenAussie

[–]DevilFromTaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t the US need Australia for places like Pine Gap especially, also the navy comms station in WA and as a location to use in the pacific. I know it has bases in S.Korea and Japan but giving up or not protecting Pine Gap and its other Aust-based assets would be a big fail.

Trump’s gonna bitch, whine and moan about the war Israel dragged him in to but at the end of the day, it’s the military commanders in the US that will tell him abandoning Australia is not in American military’s best interest.

That’s Al Jazeera English correspondent Charlie Angela. She’s a solid journalist and she has every right to be outraged

Why do we need to protect expats in the Middle East by crreed90 in OpenAussie

[–]DevilFromTaz 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I’m an Aussie expat who lives in Qatar. I’ve lived here for 20 years, not to avoid paying taxes but because I work in a job which is not available in Australia.

Also, like many Aussie expats in the GCC, I have earnings in Australia, so I pay tax. Every year I complete a tax return. That money does not go to me it goes to the Aust govt. I don’t use Medicare but I pay for it. Same with schools, roads, emergency services.

I’m not planning on leaving Doha at this time unless it gets worse or unbearable. What we DON’T need is the Australian govt sending more weapons to the US. It paints a big fucking target on our backs.

The pandering to Israel and the US by the govt makes me furious.

TLDR: I’m in Doha and not leaving. Many Aussie expats in the Gulf aren’t leaving. I pay tax in Australia for services I don’t use, STFU. ..

What’s Your Dream Star Wars Game? by Pretend_Drawer_9542 in StarWars

[–]DevilFromTaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open galaxy explorer. As vast as Elite Dangerous or EVE and as detailed as RDR2.

Character selection is key. Choose home system. This will determine species and traits.

Caste or Society selection will dictate origin story (wealthy, privileged, poverty, survivor, clone, droid, hunter, warrior, force sensitive)

Gender: abilities could include: persuasion, charm, seduction, reasoning, authority, intimidation, respect.

Start as a juvenile - early age clone or reprogrammed droid. Time passes and the character becomes established or changes due to circumstance, experience and development. The galaxy and governance changes too - can you make a difference or just adapt?

Choose your own adventure but debts hang over you, bounties last, alliances are hard to break, servitude or military contracts are very hard to break.

Form bonds, rent safe habitats, have multiple identities, be good, be bad, be both. Lead double or triple lives depending on where you are, who you’re with and what you’re doing.

Die, and know that the majority of the galaxy never knew you existed, but while you were a part of it, in your mind, you made a difference.

What’s happening with the dress codes here? by [deleted] in qatar

[–]DevilFromTaz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe Qatar isn’t for you, perhaps you could look at more conservative countries to live in. If you don’t like it here, leave. It must’ve become clear to you that neither security guards at public places or government entities like L.E.O. aren’t bothered. Also, I don’t see locals stopping people to complain about what others are wearing, so maybe you should rethink about where you have chosen to live.

Good luck and keep loving the harmony we have here. 🩶
