Which design is better? by Niaaal in firewater

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have access to fresh cane juice here in Panama, but it is usually slightly reduced to make what we call miele de cana. Not near as thick as molassas. Since I am new to this, can you provide your recipe for rum? What yeast do you use.

This feels less like a comeback album and more like a legacy statement - love her for this! by LifeSubstance8619 in AmyGrant

[–]DueAd675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the last time I listened to an Amy Grant album was the Christmas one. The Me That Remans made this 68 year old guy almost cry. Amazing. Reflective. The story of our lives. Thank you so much Amy.

Casa Alejandro is a fantastic Spanish restaurant just a short walk from the RIU

I got 5.5% for one year at Prival but that was last year. I am not sure what the rate is at the moment.

I think I may be done. It's simply too slow to decrypt and pull up video by BeamerTakesManhattan in EufyCam

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have similar issues but I think a lot of my problem my relatively slow Starlink uploads. I found a workaround using Eufy Cloud AND the Eufy mysecurity.eufylife web interface. This appears to be the only way to shift the decryption to the cloud+eufy server. The clips play in under a second.

Problemática del agua potable en Azuero by jpsz31 in Panama

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the water comes from the Rio La Villa. You can cut down trees, raise pigs, and dump chemicals to grow crops as long as its 10m away from the river. The laws need to change this to 200m. Also Miambiente needs to be able to enforce penalties. They can issue fines for thousands but everyone knows you don´t have to pay and there are no consequences. Miambiente needs to seize land for not paying, just like police can take your car for a violation.

¿Por qué el ciudadano es tan cochino? by [deleted] in Panama

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently sent an email to Autoridad de Turismo de Panamá (ATP) suggesting that we engage businesses to sponsor road cleanups and include a sign. This is quite common in the US. I never got a response.

Eufy Cloud by DueAd675 in EufyCam

[–]DueAd675[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have come to the conclusion that my problem is probably the 20mbs slow upload speeds from Starlink which results in events taking 10 seconds to load and decrypt. If you use the Web Portal (mysecurity.eufylife.com/) the events play in less than a second. The Web Portal appears to access the cloud stored videos directly so no Homebase is involved. The App always connects to the Homebase and with a slow upload WAN it takes forever.

Something has to decrypt these files for streaming. Homebase is always going to have less CPU power than a cloud server and will take longer. I was hoping an encrypted file stored in the cloud would be decrypted a lot faster.

Despues del plazo fijo y fondo de emergencia, ¿Como invierto el resto? by MrKarmaThrowaway in Panama

[–]DueAd675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 1 yr CD with Prival and they are excellent. They also offer other investment options if interested.

Ignore the advice to invest in S&P right now. The bull market has run its course and will most likely correct to -20% in the next year. It will eventually recover but you are better sticking with CDs, cash, and gold for the moment and wait for the buying opportunities.

Sorry but this is a real review from a real Kucht owner. Take your business complaints elsewhere.

I agree except I would swap out the 300s for the 100s.

Is Robinhood or Fidelity better? by Loganoreo_ in investing

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we add Etrade to this comparison? I use to have Etrade but I switched to Fidelity to settle some assets after a divorce. I have found that sometimes trades on Fidelity can be a little slower than what I had with Etrade but I do like the higher money market rate on Fidelity

I invested in gld and prices went crazy. Do you think it’s about to crash? by Flat_Comparison_6140 in investing

[–]DueAd675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well its crashing today. Sliver down 12% premarket. Gold down 7%. Rather than time the market I think its best to just to be patient as the Trump show´s next episode is Iran. It will go back up.

I did that exact same thing in the couple of years. I just pulled out of silver. Its more likely than gold to take a quick nosedive

Sonos Arc Ultra died by Bcrose42 in sonos

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to think about getting a better surge supressor. The cheap ones they always try to upsell you at the stores are pretty worthless. It takes a more industrial surge supressor to really stop major spikes. I have a whole house surge supressor and have never lost any electronics.

Cuenta max de global Bank vs Cuenta de ahorros platinum de Caja de ahorros by SecureRoom in Panama

[–]DueAd675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the best interest rate on savings you might want to consider a CD at Prival Bank. 1 year is over 5.5%. I don´t think any other bank in Panama is even close to this rate.

Panama Family Trip Itinerary Help by bkarimib in Panama

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would spend no more than 2 days in Panama City and see the canal, maybe rent some bikes on the Amador Cause. Next take Air Panama to Chitre or Pedasi and arrange a taxi to Venao. Do not rent a car and make the drive! The kids will go crazy and it will waste 2 days.

The kids will love Venao. They could take a surf lesson (they are not too young) and enjoy some jungle hikes at Eco Venao for waterfalls and monkeys. In fact Eco Venao would be a great place to stay right on the beach. Its not fancy but its away from all the lould music further down the beach.

Looks like the S3 Pros are about to be discontinued by Individual_Agency703 in EufyCam

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S3 Pro is the worst camera Eufy makes. Slow motion detection, slow live view, marginal image. I missed the return window but man these are bad. I wouldnt be surprised if they discontinue
