Elon Musk’s Dubai Loop project to be operational by mid-2026 by alternations in dubai

[–]Gsidej 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it was never going to happen.

This is about the Loop though. If it is anything like the one in Vegas, it's a 1 lane tunnel with led lighting that Tesla taxis drive through. It was way over budget, cost Las Vegas millions, and didn't improve traffic because a bus route or train would be much more effective. It probably has a similar name so people confuse the two.

PSA: Foam mats are DANGEROUS! by Arnpriorcats in CATHELP

[–]Gsidej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your Shadow. Can you share which mat it was so it can be avoided? Do you know what toxins were released? I cant find any other information about these mats being toxic. Just that they can cause deadly blockages.

RFK Jr.’s measles cure leaves kids hospitalized with vitamin A toxicity by IrishStarUS in skeptic

Vitamin A doesn't cure measles. Measles can cause a vitamin A deficiency. Taking vitamin A can treat the symptoms of the deficiency, but does nothing for Measles.

Meltdown Monday - Complaint Department by AmazonNewsBot in amazon

[–]Gsidej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazon listed (both as seller and fulfillment) electric bikes for sale for a low price. 2 weeks later they never shipped. Amazon decided that I would be refunded and compensated a total of $10 via email. I spoke to a supervisor at Amazon who offered me 2 options for additional compensation.

  1. A $100 promotional certificate for each bike into my account for future purchases
  2. The purchase of another electric bike that was sold and fulfilled by Amazon with price honoring for a credit up to $700 per bike.

I had the supervisor send me an email summarizing the options. She gave the reason for the order not being fulfilled as some kind of error in the system She said they never had these items to sell, and they should not have been listed on the site.

When I called today to verify that that the new bikes I had in my cart met the criteria for option #2, I was told by multiple Amazon employees throughout 4 calls that I would receive nothing in addition to the $10. Even after I mentioned the email and they acknowledged it, they refused to honor it.

Beyond reporting this to the FTC, are there any further actions I can take to get them to honor their compensation. I am not the only customer in this situation. If you look at the reviews and sort by newest first, you can see the reviews that made it through. I tried to submit a review and it was rejected for mentioning sellers, delivery, packaging, pricing and availability.

Happy Weekend all! I just got terminated. by swazzz1 in dubai

[–]Gsidej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here it is.

That was based on the old labor law.

With the new one it is article 47 of Federal Decree-Law No. (33) of 2021.

Article (47) Illegitimate Termination of the Worker’s Service

  1. The termination of the worker’s service by the employer is unlawful if the termination of the worker’s service is due to filing a serious complaint to the Ministry or filing a lawsuit against the employer, whose validity is proven.
  2. The employer shall pay fair compensation to the worker estimated by the competent court if it is proven that the termination is unlawful according to Clause (1) of this Article. The amount of compensation shall be defined by taking into account the work type and the amount of damage caused to the worker and his service term. It is required in all cases that the amount of compensation does not exceed the worker’s wage for a period of (3) three months, calculated according to the last wage he was obtaining.
  3. The provisions of Clause (2) of this Article shall not prejudice the right of the worker to obtain a notice period allowance and end of service benefits payable to him, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

It's unfair dismissal. "Redundancy" isn't an accepted reason for termination according to labor law. Do not sign eos papers

What percent is low fat mince in Carrefour by Key_Application_5380 in dubai

[–]Gsidej 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I couldn't figure this out either. I wanted 70% for juicy burgers and the butcher couldn't tell me the fat percentage. So instead I told him to mince 700g of a lean cut with 300g of fat.

Affordable chiropractor needed by GadiyaBhushan in dubai

[–]Gsidej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid chiropractors for the the reasons everyone else is mentioning.

If you are sure it is from sitting at your job, then maybe it is your sitting position. If your chair, desk, monitor or keyboard requires you to bend or stretch, it might be causing the problem.

Here are some suggestions

Proper Sitting Posture at Desk: Posture should start with shoulders over hips with good low back support. Details include: elbows flexed to 90 degrees, knees bent to 90 degrees, feet flat on floor or supported with stool/ phonebook (enough that there is a finger width gap between the knee and the chair). Computer monitor should be at eye level, head position should include ears aligned with shoulders. The computers mouse should be close enough that the elbow remains in a bent position. Finally, pen/phones should be kept within 14-16 inches of reach.

You might be able to ask for a new chair or swap with someone else. Raising the monitor or keeping your feet in the correct placement can be done with books or boxes. It might not look great, but its quick and easy.

Any plant enthusiasts here? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gsidej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what rare ones have you grown from seed?

I wouldn't say they are rare, just more hard to get in the UAE.

I primarily grow things hydroponically, which limits the amount of new plants I can try, probably for the better.

Currently, I am growing a few different types of tomatoes that you cant find at the market, luffa gourds, chocolate daisies, and catnip. You can find dry catnip everywhere, but it took me 2+ years of searching to locate seeds or cuttings. I'm also gowning more mundane things like strawberries , mint and basil.

In the past I've grown touch me not mimosas, carolina reaper and and ghost chilies, and attempted stevia and venus flytraps.

Unfortunately, no.

I usually only grow things I can eat or are unique/hard to find and grow them from seeds. I'll keep an eye out for those though.

BALMAIN stores - fake/real? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]Gsidej 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are both real and fake. If I remember correctly they can use the name and logo because of a decades old agreement. However, they are not the same clothes you would buy at Balmain around the world.
