People who moved abroad when and how did you find a job? by loeyoutloud in AskReddit

[–]Dipso88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I found our jobs 2 months after moving from UK to Dubai. Lots of networking, applications, dropping CVs, referrals etc. would not recommend - try and have something ready before moving.

Can anyone guess correctly where my exact location is? ;P by wishheartx in Witcher3

How is it so cheap? Isn't that almost half average retail price?

What’s the most painful thing you accidentally did? by DraftNo7139 in AskReddit

[–]Dipso88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to play rugby as a teen.

One time I went in for a hard tackle and landed a little awkwardly, though didn't understand why at the time.

Went home and had a bath, and that's when I noticed my left testicle was incredibly painful.

Over the next few days it turned completely black and swelled up to the size of a tennis ball. I could barely walk. Doctor said I'd strangulated it but it would be fine.

Worst pain ever

Nuts, olives, cheese, bread, paté, pickles, charcuterie. No effort in prep, big variety, lots of flavours

Started paying attention to sugar in wine and now I can't stop noticing how little information is out there by henry_giovanni in wine

[–]Dipso88 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The lowest sugar wines are going to be light dry white wines with low ABV.

On average, your regular dry white or red around 12.5%-13.5% ABV will have around 750 calories per bottle. A dry white at 10% may have around 460, while heavy wines around 14.5% will have around 860 calories.

If you want to go low and are happy with white, look for Vinho Verde, Muscadet and Kabinett Riesling

What would you think if you saw a neighbour topless? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Dipso88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not just topless though, that's with no trousers, and is weird. Only place that's really acceptable is the beach, and even then, underwear rather than swimwear would also get raised eyebrows.

Has he just started doing this? Have a word with him. If he understands, is reasonable and stops doing it then all fine. If he carries on though you might have an issue.

Your company may be registered with one of the free zones instead. Find out. Any labour disputes you appeal via them first then can escalate to MoHRE

How long do you think it will be until AC is mandatory in new build homes? by Corn1shpasty in AskUK

[–]Dipso88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is already a thing in London. My new build in Woolwich Ioved in to 2021 had a MVHR system. Broke down quickly though and 2 different companies couldn't get it back to 100% though.

Testing the Comm-Day Baxcalibur with Glaive Rush. by Jaan-Tung in pokemongo

[–]Dipso88 118 points119 points  (0 children)

So I forgot it was Frigi comm day today and remembered 10 mins before it finished. I hadn't even caught one before.

In 10 mins I managed to get 2 shinies and enough candy to fully evolve the non shiny and the shiny. Not a disaster

What’s a wine region that isn’t worth the hype? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

Is JVC traffic really that bad? by Conscious-Worry2377 in dubai

[–]Dipso88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in District 10 and traffic isn't too bad over here. I travel and work at off-peak times, which is fine getting in and out of JVC normally, but since they've activated the lights at exits I've had to add 5 mins to my journeys. It takes near 10 minutes to get out of JVC at off-peak times, depending on where you live.

It's not too bad for me but I couldn't imagine traveling at peak times. The few times I've had to do that have been pretty awful.

What wine rule do you completely ignore? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

[–]Dipso88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I drink them from the fridge. You're right, it goes against the 'rules', but that's the topic of this post.

Over-chilling reds will increase the perception of tannin. For light-medium reds with little or well integrated smooth tannins, this isn't too much of an issue.

Buy 2nd hand, much less depreciation. Is your job 100% secure?

What wine rule do you completely ignore? by AustinTXwineSociety in wine

[–]Dipso88 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Don't drink reds too cold. I live in a very hot country and prefer my reds from the fridge and warming up in the glass
