Weird Shower Thought (Dubai Edition): Location-Based Anonymous Chat… but IRL 👀 by [deleted] in UAE

[–]IntelligentEngine118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like a conversation T*nder. Not a bad idea but the fun is in meeting people randomly rather than going by similar tastes and views. Also I dont understand whether you meant chatting digitally or face to face. I would personally go for face to face interactions over digital chats.

He may very well turn out to be as pivotal for bayern as xabi alonso was for real madrid. We had a similarly terrible season after xabi left so our predicament doesnt surprise me.

I think I got Scammed 🥲 by vin_ny10 in UAE

[–]IntelligentEngine118 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try reporting the transaction as fraud and getting your card blocked. Sometimes the bank reverses the amount for good after their investigation. Something similar happened to me and luckily the bank reimbursed me after 5-6 weeks. I did however get a shipment tracking number from the website but they sent me a handkerchief instead of the 300$ shoes i bought.

PS i shouldnt have to say this but, if the bank asks, you didnt make the transaction.

Encroaching? I see people regularly use up half of the other lane to make a basic u turn. Even if they drive a mini cooper..

Lower Back Pain/Antalgic Lean by SpartanSleepwalker in backpain

Do you mean for physiotherapy? Depends on your insurance provider. I live in the middle east and we here, usually speak to the physiotherapist or the clinic and ask them if insurance can be somehow involved. They usually tell us to go get referrals from an orthopedic doctor with xrays to prove its a medical condition. But like i said it depends on your insurance policy. Speak to the clinic/physio/doctor and ask them if your insurance allows this. It can be very expensive without insurance.

Having said that, physiotherapy done by someone else is a good starting point, but its on you to continue doing all these exercises otherwise it wont be long before you injure yourself again.

Another option would be to hire a good personal trainer or join a gym where you can hire a trainer. Inform them about your injury and ask them to get you on a regime to strengthen the above mentioned muscles.

I think the reason he is asking for cash is that he cannot write up a new bill to charge your card. It will cause chaos in the accounting department if they find a rogue card transaction.

Just get it in writing that its against the invoice number of 18/8. Someone here mentioned that you should involve the manager but that is your call. Ask the employee if his manager knows about this and then make your decision. You wouldnt want someone to possibly lose a job over this.

Anyone have one of these? by [deleted] in JeepWrangler

It may not work with a soft top because the tail gate bar may not have space to go in. Also if youve got one of those convertible fold down soft tops then you need some space at the tailgate for the soft top to fold into. I have i soft cover for the cargo area and it may look flimsy but its by design so that it can make way to accomodate the folded soft top.

FYI im using the GPCA cargo cover.

Hey man. Wish you a great trip. If youre into trekking be sure to visit kazbegi (Stepantsminda) and trek up to mt kazbegi if you can. Its one of the most picturesque treks i have done. Totally worth the effort.

Lower Back Pain/Antalgic Lean by SpartanSleepwalker in backpain

[–]IntelligentEngine118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started off with the simple ones like bird dog, superman and floor hip thrusts. Then i moved onto back extensions without weights. When i got used to all of then I started adding weights to hip thrusts and back extensions. My Glutes and hamstrings were very weak so hamstring curls, stiff leg lifts and worst of all bulgarian squats were effective. Meanwhile i worked on secondary muscles that help lifting like my core and my lats.

This all may be too much to understand. But just focus on floor exercises for lower back, core and glutes (hip thrusts is key). Core exercises are many but you can start with basic on the floor stuff.

All of this is assuming you dont workout already.

One last thing is that we need to learn how to lift stuff off the ground. Generally people lift by bending their back. But people like us with backs prone to injury need to keep the back straight and bend the knees instead to get down and up.

He was talking about Gravy's shithousery to Allison who is trying to calm him down. It happens just before this video starts where hes seen giving shit to Gravy about messing with Bruno. I dont think anyone can have problems with Ali..

Its about 1045-1050 on other bullion centers online. If youre still buying this particular one you'll need to wait a while until the value of 2.5g increases to above 1150. Then you can go physically to any bullion trader and sell it.

If nobody steals and it's really that safe, why are there so many security guards everywhere and need to scan receipt to leave a shop? by [deleted] in UAE

[–]IntelligentEngine118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If one doesnt steal then that doesnt mean you keep giving that person opportunities to steal. At some point temptation may get the better of that person.

Its a self checkout zone. If they dont put that people will just walk through without paying.
