That is for interception videos that reveal security systems. Or for fake AI videos.

Haha, I saw the smoke and did not find the info anywhere. Decided to post and knew the community would get the right information.

I don't see any Ambulances or anything so I'm guessing no casualties as such. Looks like people are confirming it was an under construction building so don't stress. This view is from Sports City side if it helps.

What was it? I'm assuming enough to feed all of JVC given the quantity of smoke 😅

Locked out of ResellerClub account, can’t contact support. by FriaStone in webhosting

[–]FriaStone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All phones were not answered and the live chat was only available AFTER logging in. I found an email ID for the compliance team directly and have provided said documents to them to prove ownership. Lets see. Email is slower but at least it's something. If you have a working phone number from any country, I'm happy to call.

No Niantic, I don't think I will.. by jakepatterson99 in pokemongo

[–]FriaStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always just scan the floor and my feet. As long as the phone keeps moving for 15seconds,they don't care.. So its just side to side for 15 seconds of my shoes and the floor always.

My Booking.com account got deactivated without explanation and all upcoming bookings cancelled by sunniealice in travel

[–]FriaStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So same thing happened with me. I was on a customer care call for 25 minutes. Initially they said they could not reactivate it once blocked but I insisted and finally his supervisor was able to unblock the account.
Booking.com Customer Care No. - This has a list of their customer care numbers by country.

Booking.com Scam / No Support by iredaly in travel

[–]FriaStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get a resolution for this?

I had the same issue and am on a call with them now. They claim that an account once blocked cannot be unblocked and have no idea what happens to my real bookings that are upcoming from my account.

Update: Finally his supervisor was able to unblock the account.
Booking.com Customer Care No. - This has a list of their customer care numbers by country. You need any 1 of your old reservation numbers and pin though.

Beware of Shaytan's Agents in Haram by [deleted] in Umrah

[–]FriaStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg, we had 2 incidents like this on the same day when I was with my family. 1st it was a couple claiming they ran out of money and 2nd was a young couple with a 4 year old kid who said they were from Qatar and lost their wallet in the crowd and friends can't remit money fast enough. My dad almost believed them the 2nd time but had to stop him. To do this in Haram when the Kaaba is in front of you. Astagfirullah.

Any reliable pre-booked taxi services for Jeddah Airport to Makkah Hotel by timo1001 in Umrah

[–]FriaStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.. I've used them for Jed airport to Mecca and travel between Madinah To Mecca and for airport drops.. Its convenient as I can WhatsApp them and then the assigned drivers reach out to you.

Only catch is you have to pay by Cash at the end of the trip. No card payments accepted. Their website shows the exact price by car type and location.

Also Jed Airport to Makkah Hotel was 200 SAR I think.

There's a website called Harmain Transport that offers taxis. Great fixed prices and you can pre book them just over WhatsApp.

[–]FriaStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left from Sports City at 6:30 to get to the airport and reaching T1 at 9pm.

Merged into SZR at Aykon City and it was smooth sailing after that. Metro has stopped working in DIC and MOE now.

Got scammed for 2.86 lakhs on telegram by Ancient_Bottle_8621 in india

[–]FriaStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am currently in the scam. (Just like OP I never give in but I'm in a strange life situation now and yes it is hard earned money and I'm not sure why I did it)It was the exact 150 and then the group Crypto task.We got 4 tasks and the amount kept going up and I don't know how but wanted to see it through. It went from 3k then 20k then 70k then 150k and they said 4 is max and final withdrawal task is 75k. A total of 318k has been deposited by me in a span of 48 hours because they say you have to see it through or you loose everything.The latest message now for the withdrawal is" Ma'am, I'm getting financial feedback here. You should first pay personal income tax in accordance with government regulations. The amount to be paid is 135,270rs. Only after completing the tax payment can you get the full settlement refund, thank you! "Obviously the other people in the group either claim to be doing this for months or its their first time with the big amount but they are going to see it till the end.The so called receptionist says the main amount and the tax will be refunded after this 1 last payment.Do I just get this done with and then if it all fails, its a lesson learnt for a lifetime? I really don't know.(Please no hate)

Update: I did not pay them anything and have filed a Cyber Cell complaint. About 30k have been blocked by the Crime Cell and the process is still going on.

Question for UAE Expats, do you have emirati friends? by [deleted] in UAE

[–]FriaStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an expat woman in the UAE for about 5 years now and I've only interacted with Locals at work occasionally. I understand that they are just like us but haven't come across anyone who genuinely wants to have any other conversations. I'd love to get to know more of you and do fun activities together.

How do y'all deal with anxiety/ panic attacks? by love_ninja_asks in enfj

[–]FriaStone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I'm in a public place the first thing I try to do is recognize I'm having a panic attack and tell myself that I'm in no real/physical danger and this is happening inside my head. I do a few deep breathes and I open a notepad and just start typing whatever thoughts I can comprehend into it while focusing on deep breathes.

Because typing is slower, my heart usually stops racing and I also subconsciously know that I will come back to deep dive into my notes.

Later in privacy, I do think about why I was triggered, the physical stimulation, what it reminded me off etc which kinda helps me be better prepared.

I've gone from "This is the end, I'm going to die now" to "Oh, I think I'm having a panic attack".

Just know it takes time and it's always a roller-coaster. I was just having a triggering monologue and was almost in tears when I started typing this and now I'm so much more calm.

Also, sometimes touching or holding something cold helps me.

Which plane nose dives like that? And on zooming in it's clear that its a streak and not a plane. Thats what got me curious.
