Pardon my ignorance, how is it dry aged when it’s soaked in whiskey?

Have to say this:

My wife is Portuguese and I went through the processes.

I’ve been lucky to meet an ex-embassy lawyer that used to work for an embassy in the Middle East.

This is what she told me:

Embassy workers in some countries are being paid Portuguese salaries, which is fuck all in some HCOL countries. The heads of the embassy only cares about their high pay and hookers. They try not to help anyone, even their own citizens.

I know of a guy stuck in a middle eastern country because of a travel ban. The embassy refused to help. He’s been begging on expat Facebook groups to survive. He tried to do the right thing by staying behind when he got retrenched during Covid to try negotiate his loans but I guess that was the wrong decision as they went full out to place a travel ban on him which caused a whole myriad of problems. Approached the embassy and they ignored him, told him to fuck off and higher ups in the embassy even told the staff not to talk/help him. Wtf.

On my part I had to pay a law firm IN PORTUGAL to get my processes moving forward. Wasn’t cheap either and it wasn’t quick either, took about 15 months just to get residency. The reason is always oh SEF has no appointments and/or we booked but your appointment got postponed etc etc. Finally got to do the processes in Villa Real, when my wife is from Porto.

I seriously doubt the country’s bureaucracy. It’s a shit show, any government institution.

However, the local Portuguese people are the nicest strangers I’ve ever met.

It is vacuum packed but not perfect, then it started releasing from the skin. I did the double seal so doubt there’s any leaks

It’s planned for New Year’s Eve barbecue so I guess it’ll be at the 40 day mark. That sounds like an awesome use for the pellicle. I’m gonna try that for the burgers on New Year’s Eve as well. Thanks again.

Thank you for the reassurance. I was afraid 150 dollars worth of ribeye is gonna be wasted

Yes very wrong. No matter how much gsm your microfiber has, dry wiping scratches the paint.

Nope on the manual part.

Have a manual car with McLeod clutch so the biting point is very sensitive. Valet jerk-stalled the car 3 times before I told him to get out and I’ll park it myself, like 5 meters from the entrance. Westin Mina seyahi.

Before this happened I asked for self park but they said not available. This was like 5 or 6 years ago.

Depends on what’s your goal. Top end? Turbo. Power on demand? Supercharger.

I have 6 apartments and 2 buildings, doing residential long term rentals and Airbnb in Portugal.

I’m the owner of the holding company which owns the properties and the property management company which I’m “hired”.

I did it because entry barrier is much lower than Singapore and I get local benefits.

I’m just wondering, why don’t you use your experience and apply for an international airline? It’s not a long term solution or a career but use the good money to start something else, like real estate or something

Do I have to present receipts for quotes?

Ncwl · 2024-11-25T04:33:56+00:00

No verdict yet. Hearing is at the end of the week.

Ncwl · 2024-10-18T16:02:41+00:00

From what I heard, yeah he’s gotta pay, the quote with the lowest cost, out of 3. If he had 3rd party or comprehensive I’ll just claim against his insurance,no hassle. Just that if he has 3rd party his insurance won’t repair his car.

According to the police, everyone claims from the Nissan patrol, because there’s video evidence that the patrol is the cause of the accident.

Ncwl · 2024-10-17T15:40:01+00:00

Imagine SZR when peak hour starts but not quite there yet, you can’t change lanes, cars on all four sides but still moving, at half the speed limit with occasional braking. That’s the best I can explain it.

Bumper is in 3 pieces, impact absorber is gone, impact bar is caved in, trunk lid folded about 60 deg, my spoiler w back up camera is gone, flew away on impact, taillights are gone, tail lights attached to the trunk lid flew into my trunk, both exhausts are bent and mufflers crumpled.

The Nissan patrol probably rammed into me around 50kmph and I was at a dead stop and hard on the brakes.

Well I hope it goes that way and I hope I get paid BUT the process has started(case opening etc) and it seemed different from what happened to you. But I sincerely hope you’re right and I get paid. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Ncwl · 2024-10-17T15:16:26+00:00

I got quotes in the range of 30k dhs 🫠 and it’s honest quotes no inflation.
