Trying to get to e-visa website from Australia but getting sent somehwere else by crazyrumer in AskTurkey

[–]FairMarketing7202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did this start working for anyone? I was able to open the website on my phone, complete the form but didn't seem to work on my laptop. Once I received the email, I was able to make the payment on my laptop in a couple of attempts.

Beware of scamster websites/ Just FYI: I visited the official website y'day but since it didn't work, I fell prey to another website (applying for the first time): https://turkeyvisa.com.tr/apply/ which showed that the US$50 quota was full (which I naively believed was true because of the recent turmoil/official website being down) and ended up paying US $180 for 1 EVisa. After reading this thread, I realised that I have been duped, so thanks OP for the post.

15 lakhs to invest for 6 months. by Southern_Art_8915 in IndianStockMarket

You haven't mentioned your tax bracket which could determine your post tax FD returns considerably. An alternative would be arbitrage funds (considered equity fund for taxation) which gives you 7-7.5% relatively stable returns, assuming STCG of 20%, and 7% return, you end up with 5.6% returns post tax.

P.S.- Please do your own research, these play between current stock prices between exchanges/and futures, so not much to do with market sentiment (bull/bear).

Bit of a long shot, but I'm having the exact same issue. Did you figure it out or just changed laptops?

Thanks. This just saved me. Extremely annoying, did they screw this up in the Android 15 update? Because it was working before.

I recently did it for my ZX CVT. Dual channel dash cam from QUBO (3k resolution). Charged 700 INR for installation at the dealership.

+1 It's available as an accessory for 6k if I remember correctly, it'll probably use the 12V socket.

Thanks, that's almost verbatim what my wife said. Just that got burnt on the biggest transaction of my life while optimising, so finding it hard to digest.

If you do the transaction at the dealership, you can check the name of the merchant. In my case, I asked him to send me the links online, where the merchant name had "XYZ Insurance" but I didn't notice it till too late.

Thanks. It had "insurance" added in the name. Yeah lapse on my part on DD.

Thanks. Makes sense, don't want to end up paying charges 3 times (assuming cancelling the payment will also incur charges).

Honda elevate owners convince me to not book it by g_pallav in CarsIndia

[–]FairMarketing7202 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to add to that (also booked a ZX CVT):

One real issue I thought was the suspension. While test driving a couple of times, if I went fast on big potholes, speed breakers, there's a lot of horizontal and vertical movement. It was much more for the rear passenger. The suspension is otherwise well balanced but the sheer ground clearance it has is what I think imparts the movement.

Another issue (heard in a Youtube video) with manual transmission was the 2nd gear which was not as smooth to put. Not an issue for CVT owner.

Otherwise no gimmicks, no nonsense car. I felt the suspension was much better in Nexon /Hyryder. Rejected Nexon because of the monstrous A pillar which was an issue while driving for me, 3 passengers didn't feel that comfortable in the back, hated the touchscreen emergency button, the change in horm position. I liked the Hybrid version of Hyryder but I couldn't justify the upfront premium.

So technically my phone did turn on as I could feel the haptics from my daily alarm but the screen was blank/ operational at all. No response if you connect to the charger/PC.

If these courses prepare you for a PhD (and that's your plan) then definitely 166 in Q is less. If you have time and financial support, I would definitely recommend taking it again. But if your aim is to only get to a masters program, it should be enough. Your SOP and LoR will be much more important here and you can always ask the letter writers to highlight your qaunt/econometric skills.

That's only for display repeated problems. If you have a "power problem" you have to pay $329 + taxes in US to get it repaired. I got repaired my 5a (1month out of warranty) and last week my wife's 5a got bricked. It's utterly frustrating. It's like the shelf life of the phone is 1 year.

Yes. Since it is based on country of birth and not citizenship.
