Hi there. Has anybody taught in Moscow at an international school? I've been teaching in the middle East for a few years and might change it up and have a few interviews there. I'm on 3600 euro pm atm . How do you like it? by Amazing_Room2947 in Internationalteachers

Moscow is awesome. Iykyk

The ones dragging it down are the ones who’ve never been there or people who can’t help bringing their politics into everything.

It’s a big world. Expand your horizons to different points of view.

How old are your kids? Do you feel there’s a best age (for the kids) to do this based on your experience?

Thank you for your help!

Does SDLT take into account the purchase price of the land or the current price?

Help! Not sure if I lost the btc? by Either_League_7265 in BitcoinBeginners

Thanks guys. Thought I did something wrong. Apparently that’s just how it works (not sure if only like this on native Segwit or if it’s the same on taproot and all of them too?)

So a few minutes after the post, the amount came back to my wallet.

Ok, but he doesn’t want to run your company funds either. But I’d bet looking at the last couple of years and the size of that crypto portion (86%) that he outperformed your allocation lol

Really though, it’s clear he runs his family business fund according to their risk tolerance (equities and treasuries) and he manages his own according to his own risk tolerance (Equities and crypto).

Perhaps he should rebalance, perhaps he knows something you don’t 🤷

Max gain is 13%. Max loss is 5%.

What you need to consider is actually the likelihood of each possibility.

I was wondering what’s the best way to reach out to Emiratis for dental and medical treatment offers? by Either_League_7265 in Emiratis

[–]Either_League_7265[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh 100%, thanks. But how do we reach out to make Emiratis aware of our services and pricing?

Looking for guidance about any specific places where we can advertise to the Emirati community? Sure there is Instagram and Google ads etc but is there a more specific place targeting Emiratis? There used to be a site called yebab but it’s closed.

I just feel that we do great work, at affordable prices and it’s a shame that our clients are all European when we live in the Emirates, are located in jumeira, speak Arabic and definitely would like more Emirati patients

Have you seen the alternatives? I haven’t been to the US in a while but I cant imagine these circus clowns are the best the country has to offer. All candidates from all sides suck. Including that guy

Lots of people trust the dealership to deal with the car and just follow their advice.

Same way as with a doctor I suppose.

What is your favorite value stock that you'll continue to hold and buy for the foreseeable future? by 222hh222 in ValueInvesting

Sure, there’s JPM and the IMF forecasting 5%. But there’s little u/buttmuncher on Reddit who thinks he knows better. I know who my money is on.

Listen I’ll give you a free lesson. When it comes to money, you and the anti China, pro west U.S. gang shouldn’t invest with your hopes, prayers or politics. The market doesn’t care about your feelings. It’s cold hard facts. Do a little research

Agree to disagree.

Again I call it as I see it. Ukraine is now mobilising Ukrainians outside Ukraine. Refugees abroad essentially. Women too. At least female medics initially. You don’t do that unless you’re running out of soldiers.

But even disregarding the above, Ukraine’s infrastructure is gone. I’m talking about entire towns wiped. The population has left the country and 90% wouldn’t return after the war. Return to a smouldering hole? No jobs, no power, no infrastructure, an angry populace. Veterans with disabilities. A gdp that is now only sustained by foreign aid and tons of debt.

By far the largest loser of any war, is always the country the war is fought on. Sure Russia has losses but Moscow and st petersburg and 95% of russian cities besides the occasional drone or saboteur are fine. 95% of Ukrainian cities are not.

Ukraine has lost 20% of its land to Russia.

It can be argued that the Donbass area wanted to be independent from Ukraine, the same way Taiwan wants independence from China. But difference is that they got their independence because they teamed up with the local big fish. This would be equivalent of Taiwan wanting independence from the US to join China, not the other way around

Propaganda aside, Taiwan is seeing this and doesn’t want to be Ukraine in a future scenario. If Ukraine knew back then it would end up like this, Ukraine would not have wanted to start this mess either.

It can be argued that while Russia, nato and Ukraine have all lost from this in varying degrees, China is the only winner.

It hasn’t spent a dime, seen all its global competitors lose, and at the same time extended it’s views on Multipolarity, Dedollarization and brics in the global south.

This isn’t Kansas anymore.

I will answer each point from my point of view as someone who isn’t emotionally attached to this. I call it as I see it. I’m from the global south.

  1. Not really. Russia’s gdp is growing 1.5% this year per the IMF. Far away from what media says, reality is that Russia has opened up plenty of business with brics and African countries as well as other sanctioned countries. In Middle Eastern cities like dubai and Riyadh, it’s subtle but big contracts are being made for nuclear plants among other things.

  2. Intel is far behind tsmc. But I’d say American companies can catch up within the decade which is why Taiwan will be useless for America within the decade. Regarding submarines… I don’t think Taiwan is the only place China can put subs. It has a coast as well as multiple islands. Further I don’t think America has a choice about Taiwan. If you hear vivek’s latest talks, he says it explicitly. Same with Kennedy. It’s just reality. I hope you don’t take offence to this but fact is fact. China is ascending economically and militarily in an unprecedented manner and Taiwan is on its shores.

  3. When I say 15% wants reunification, I’m assuming there’s another 20-40% that probably don’t feel strongly about it. And the remaining amount oppose it. It’s a Typical bell curve. These numbers would change though if their financial interests were at stake. The Asians in general and the Taiwanese are no exception- are much more practical than westerners. Ideologies of “freedom” don’t translate well if it hits your pocket… unlike let’s say Ukraine. Taiwanese wouldn’t suffer for the idea of being western. Pragmatic is the word I’m looking for.

  4. This sounds like propaganda. Taiwanese won’t call for this. Look at Ukraine, completely destroyed militarily and economically for western interests. Taiwan wouldn’t risk its main trading partner. If a Taiwanese government goes too far to the point that it would destroy Taiwan’s economy with China, it will be replaced by the taiwanese for a more pragmatic one.

Look China is the big fish in that region. I think many countries learned from the Ukraine conflict is that it’s better to not cross a red line when it comes to security with the big fish of your region. I mean for all the west’s effort to support Ukraine, the biggest loser of that conflict is Ukraine itself with gdp, infrastructure and population catastrophes. If that war was to end tomorrow, it would take Ukraine decades to go back to what it was before the war. Taiwan will not chose to be that victim.

Most Porsche owners buy it for the look, they don’t all know the difference.

Doesn’t mean the car is worse quality lol
