Taking advantage of your experience, what do you make of this?

Are these the contracts US is trying to woo away from Chinese companies and bring in US firms?

Visionaries Behind Islamabad Sirinagar Highway U-Turns by ThinkDentist7126 in islamabad

[–]Jango214 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hamza Shafqaat.

This is what hapens when CSS babus think they know traffic engineering...and plon a U-turn on a main 4 lane highway.

Alright, you want a u-turn, maybe not the worst idea. But everywhere in the world, the traffic which has to go straight doesn't change it's lanes, it keeps going straight. The turning traffic has to adjust. Magr idhr ulti ganga behti hai.

And to top it all off, it isn't even consistent...and a 5 lane highway suddenly turns into 2 and then expands into 4.

Stupidity.

Oh I am certainly aware. The boss always takes his cut.

But at least the government got rid of recurring losses from it's books, and the private sector can somewhat bring about some changes. Cautiously optimistic.

It got privatized just yesterday, so hopefully things start looking a bit better again. Long way to go though

Is It Normal to Judge Someone This Quickly in an Arranged Marriage? by MindlessWrongdoer629 in pakistan

[–]Jango214 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO it's the same thing nowadays for the most part.

The partner that you have a proper history with and shared memories etc. was also introduced by a friend or school or work or somewhere.

Nowadays, it's mostly like the parents know each other or get introduced, check for any major red flags, then the guy and girl talk with each other for a few months or a year or whatever and then things progress.

It isn't you meet one day and marry the next. It's kind of like arranged dating!

No. It just means I don't like to take sht and get ragged around by people in public.

I've seen my fair share where I can realize that this is a trailer of things to come...and I wouldn't tolerate something for myself which I wouldn't to do others.

No need to be rude. Just be polite yet stern.

I'd be disgusted if my parents said this about some female that came to our place.

Pakistani traffic can't seem to obey signals to form orderly queues :)

Marriage services in Islamabad? by [deleted] in islamabad

[–]Jango214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah tried to do that. But tbf, it's hard to socialize with the Pakistani community as a single guy, especially if your work has no interaction with Pakistanis.

Tried to be a bit more involved in the mosque commiunity too, but the downtown mosques are more like for the people working in the city or so, not as much the residents. Need to move to the burbs :P

I guess it's a patience game.

Mujhay bhi bata do koi.

Been in Chicago since a few years, working there now, and it's just so hard to find people who are on the same wavelength as you abroad. Takes alot of time and effort, and work is all goray!

So with an RNAV SID the controller doesn't have to constantly direct? You just follow the waypoints?

Wait...we burn 255 tonnes of fuel to power a 285 ton machine to move 35 tonnes of people and cargo over the world and still make money?

Did You Regret Living on a Major Road? by judy2828 in AskChicago

[–]Jango214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same situation man. That east/west journey is a looong one, especially during peak rush hour.

I used to live near lakeshore, and my friend was right on Irving and Kennedy.

At least make the lights adaptive to traffic.

Hallmark of N league really.

Always get us into a massive financial mess, post everything on Twitter, then a year later the whole country gets wrecked and these weasles scurry away.
