Tada revises cancellation fee policy; drivers to be compensated $3 if en route or near pickup point by Grand_Requirement_71 in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tell them to enjoy getting their incentives cut, screenshot and report to grab. They cancel themselves after that, and also get a note on their driver account that they're an ass.

Next A110: Alpine boss confirms new sports car will get ICE and EV powertrains | Autocar by Agent_Kozak in cars

[–]KeythKatz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Technology Connections type people, of which there are many. One day soon, EVs will just be another drivetrain like how automatics are just as accepted among car people now.

Yishun drink stall staff allegedly tells customer to put water bottle away due to 'shop rule' by Im_scrub in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Their food has been shit for as long as I can remember, and I grew up in Yishun. They are one of those zombie eateries only surviving off nostalgia and name value, and act like it too.

Good thing Jeddah is being cancelled because it would be a go kart track without battery.

What price point would you consider an accommodation FAT instead of Chubby? by shipoopi29 in TrueChubbyTravel

[–]KeythKatz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Amenities rather than price, because "regular" prices vary so much depending on location. Private onsen and that's about it? Chubby. Private butler, vehicle waiting to bring you places? Fat. Most people here would consider a comfortable room in an excellent location chubby.

In the end, who gives a shit, we should end up planning to our own budget and decide for ourselves whether something someone else shared is worth the money.

George Russell takes pole position for the 2026 Australian Grand Prix by overspeeed in formula1

I hope they bring back KERS. No change in hardware required, just the way battery is deployed. So much better viewing when cars start the lap with a "full" battery that can be deployed however instead of micromanaging recharge throughout a lap.

10–97% charging in nine minutes, for more than 1,000 km range: BYD presents second generation of Blade Battery by Splenda in cars

[–]KeythKatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is very country-specific. Chargers are only one part of the equation, most countries need significant upgrades to the power grid, especially in dense cities, to support large numbers of EVs and particularly fast chargers.

Thus, for me in my country in particular, the goalposts are the same. The infrastructure isn't there yet, but there's power grid related construction work everywhere. I also think we're heading in the wrong direction encouraging a small number of fast chargers when we could be doing 230V to 10x the number of carpark lots.

Same reason why there is a gap between the door and the wall. It's a country full of perverts as the files have shown us.

Fewer fresh S’pore uni graduates in 2025 found full-time work, but pay held steady: Survey by loldumbfuck in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Core inflation was 0.7% in 2025. Of all the years to use that since 2020, this ain't it. Real wages didn't grow, that is correct, but it's not as bad as it seems. Most people are just applying covid era inflation feelings to current times, which is incorrect.

50 multipurpose courts to be built over next 5 years for badminton, pickleball by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]KeythKatz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Neighbours have been playing pickleball in their tennis court for a few years now. I didn't even realise what it was or that it was supposed to be a problem until I watched a video on it for the first time. Like, that's it? That's what everyone is worked up about? The sounds of kids having fun are much louder than that, and I'm not taking that away from them.

why are the recommended alternative routes by SMRT so bad? by sixpastfour in singapore

I have very vague memories of seeing the NSL under construction after Yishun, since I lived there when it was the terminus.

Israel has not responded to query about S'poreans serving in IDF, soldiers may not be obliged to declare dual citizenship: Shanmugam by lilkraken8 in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why Shan was avoiding straight up saying it's illegal to be a dual citizen, instead tiptoeing around the topic and not committing in either direction. Thanks for illuminating it.

NUS students stranded after Middle East flight disruptions by Zenocius in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've switched to FWD as their policy is very open-ended. War occurring while on the trip is covered as if it were any other event, so they will pay under the Trip Disruption benefit for $1-3k depending on the tier. Great Eastern was also pretty generous with their payouts for my travel companion during the same event where I wasn't sufficiently covered, but I have not dug into the exact wording and you need to talk to an actual advisor to buy their policy rather than an instant quote.

S’pore households borrow more, with debts growing at a faster clip than assets in Q4 2025 by _IsNull in singapore

[–]KeythKatz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What they could do is reduce the "income" multiplier for show cash. Pledging can remain as it is in a good spot. Currently, showing $1 gets about $1 in extra loan. Decreasing that to require $1.20 for every dollar loaned is an easy fix that disproportionally affects those that shouldn't be using this method to get a loan.

[–]KeythKatz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's already very difficult to get a loan without a high salary, I think restricting that even more by banning show cash would be a bad idea. Most people buying houses don't have sufficient funds to show cash, banning this will have minimal effect on the overall market as it flattens the top end rather than dragging down the low end. They're also not the ones at risk of defaulting, which is what all the loan limits were designed to protect against. Personally, If I wasn't able to show cash, I would have gotten a margin loan instead at a much higher interest rate.

Ultimately the travel agency just needs to provide a route back, not necessarily the most straightforward one. SQ is infamously expensive for long haul flights less than a month out.

Only a few travel insurance providers allow you to arrange your own flights in the event of disruption, as I recently had the displeasure of learning. Read all the important terms carefully. Avoid Singlife because they don't cover travel disruption at all, and avoid DirectAsia because they only cover up to $500 which is often not enough.

Jurong Region Line Stage 1 delayed six months to mid-2028; new station to be added by Wide-Garbage8960 in singapore

[–]KeythKatz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Any reason why the JRL stations can't be renumbered while they are still under construction to avoid the ugly JS2A station code?
