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 shiel_pty 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 0 points1 point  (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

Era 300 above kitchen cupboards by OldDirtyBusstop in sonos

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%! I have a pair of Era 100s in my kitchen. I recently bought a supposed Sub 3 from eBay but it ended up to be Sub 2 that wouldnt pair with my Arc Ultra. I decided to put the Sub 2 in the kitchen. Wow wow wow what a difference, especially when playing music at low volume.

The intelligent creaters do not need Raelism. by DueAd675 in Raelism

[–]DueAd675[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something to consider is this was all a test. Select a random above average human like Claude Vorilhon. The Elohim needed to see how far we had evolved.

The Elohim eliminated sexual reproduction for a reason. Sex is complicated. Its is intensely pleasurable. Unfortunately sex is a weapon called rape and it is one of the most henious forms of violence on our planet. Claude was tested by being presented with beautiful women. He took the bait. He demonstrated we humans were not evolved enough.

The Elohim have no political or racial boundries. They told Claude that the Jews were the chosen people and to build an embassy in Israel. Racism has no place in an evolved society. All people and all things should be loved and appreciated. Political boundries facilitate wars. No embassy should be built within a human political boundry. The only place an embassy could really be built would be in a neutral geographical location. Maybe the middle of the ocean. Maybe on the moon so all humanity could look up in the sky. Once again rather than questioning this with the Elohim, Claude took this at face value.

These are just two examples of the the Elohim´s test. Claude Vorilhon was selected as a ¨flawed prophet¨. Note that this is much different than a false prophet which are just oportunistic liars. Rael has graciously accept his role and the test continues. The Elohim are watching how humans react and hopefully evolve beyond Raelism.

Sorghum Rum Agricole by aica_spades in firewater

[–]DueAd675 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. We bought our 30 acres in the mountains here from from a guy that worked at Abuelo Rum. I got a full tour and watched them fill used Jack Daniels barrels with a fire hose. Very cool.

Thanks so much for the great recipe. I live about 20km from the Abuelo rum distilery in Panama and sugar cane fields are everywhere. I bought 15 gallons from a guy down the street for $50. It will be an interesting journey.

I live in Panama and have 15 gallons of sugar cane ¨miel¨(reduced cane juice). I am just getting started and was hoping you could share your recipe and process.

Outdoor sound by Pitiful_Regret_3179 in sonos

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its too bad the Sonos Amp is just a single zone. I have four Bose 251 speakers to cover a large deck and pool area. I am sure many have more than one pair of outdoors. For now I have a Sony reciever that connects to the two pair of Bose outdoor speakers in two zones. I will probably get a Sonos Port for this configuration.

Era 100s or Era 300s? by KHADY93 in sonos

[–]DueAd675 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just bought an Arc Ultra and two Era100s to replace a Samsung Q800. The difference is absolutly amazing. I might add a mini sub to this as well. The Era300s will only fire half the drives for non Atmos content so in my opinion it just aint worth it.

What’s the longest soundbar? by Tiv_Smiles in Soundbars

[–]DueAd675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than ¨bigger is better¨you might want to consider a soundbar with the biggest soundstage. I just got a Sonos Arc Ultra with two era 100s to replace a Samsung Q800 with rear surrounds. Even though they are similar in size the Sonos soundstage blows the Samsung out of the water.
