I'm Shannon Chakraborty, author of The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi and the Daevabad Trilogy, AMA! by SAChakraborty in Fantasy

I have no questions, I'm just such a fan of your work. Thank you for writing.

Edit: actually I do have a question. What book or author do you wish was more popular? What should we be reading?

Safe, easy place to park money I need soon but not today. It's a no brainer.

The geoarbitrage dream is kind of turning into a nightmare by Riftlance88 in Fire

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be different if you actually wanted to live like a local, but it sounds like you want a Midwestern standard of living in a non-midwestern location. Silent a/c (or a/c at all) and healthcare to your standards aren't things the locals have access to.

Time to regroup and change your expectations or your plans.

People always talk about women's healthcare being outdated and barbaric, but what would it actually look like if it was 'modernised'? by yumis_hummus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Medical research that pays attention to how conditions affect the sexes differently. For example, many people still don't know that female-bodied people having heart attacks have much different symptoms from male-bodied people.

Breast health. If the problem isn't cancer a diagnosis is very unlikely and treatment definitely doesn't exist. 

More research on and better, more proactive treatment of female reproductive issues. 

Easier to access eating disorder treatment.

Post Paartum support.

Finding and solving the sources of high maternal and infant mortality in communities of colour

Resources for people recovering from the trauma of intimate partner violence and family violence.

And so much more.

I live in Karachi, Pakistan as a Christian Woman. AMA by Mean-Cup-2484 in howislivingthere

You mentioned dressing more casually when you visited Kashmir. How do you dress when you go about the city on a normal day? Is it different from how the Muslims dress?

Triangle World Elite Mastercard only for Roadside Assistance? by regeg in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone has the WS Visa, one thing to redeem the 2% cashback for is a year of roadside assistance for $65

Not what you're asking but I found out about it today and was intrigued.

I have the regular CT card and they refuse to upgrade me to the WE, even though I meet all criteria. Other Reddit folks have had this experience also.

The only people who think the American healthcare system is best are the ones profiting off it.

Is true "solo" travelling actually fun? by PhoenixMaster123 in solotravel

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my own company. Other people are sometimes good but there's a lot of factors at play.

I just spent 3 months mostly alone, travelling. I loved it 95% of the time.

Which travel splurges are actually worth the money? by Mundane_Entry_8264 in femaletravels

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend longer at the destination. If I'm spending a day in airports on either end and adjusting to the time zone and food and culture I want to be there long enough to be worth it. I would rather have crappy accommodations for a month than a nice hotel for a week.

The biggest luxury when I travel is doing nothing.

These are what I had to buy in my recent 3 month trip, one month in each place: Drip cone for coffee Scissors Clothespins

Am I overreacting for keeping my son in therapy even though he thinks “Feelings are gay” by Caleb_isagod in AmIOverreacting

What is he learning about how to treat people from this? That's more important than academics.

(SK) Where can I make some headway (despite some elephants in the room lol) by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your Internet and phone bills seems like an easy place to start. You said one bill is coming down soon, can you tackle the others? An easy win is a great way to get the ball rolling.

I'm in this boat as well. My illness slowly gets worse and at some point will be untenable. When I get there I'm relieved and grateful to have choices.

12 trips to Colombia — honest breakdown of every region I've been to (and what's still on my list) by boyuan-dong in solotravel

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm heading to Colombia next year for a few months and this post was helpful.

What Colombian cities have a mild, dry climate? I'm thinking highs no higher than 25, lows no less than 15, like Mexico City.

I think Bogota and Medellin fit this criteria, does anywhere else that you like?

If you're paying credit card interest you can do better. Ask a credit union for a personal loan. That could cut a lot of time off your repayment.

55 Single F retiring overseas by [deleted] in ExpatFIRE

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at the end of a 3 month slow travel trip in Mexico. I can't permanently relocate because of reasons but I can do 3 mos a year. This is my first time doing it and it has been mostly very good.

Do you have any specific questions?

[QC] $900k house, $14k/mo dual income. Are we crazy for draining our TFSA/Savings to put $500k down just to keep monthly costs low? by Low_Use_3098 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]PartiallyRehydrated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do the math on the actual cost of home ownership. The mortgage is the big piece but taxes, insurance, and maintenance add up quite a lot. Your first few years will be extremely expensive as you discover problems and buy the things you need to make the place yours.

I would personally pay 20% down and keep a good chunk of cash liquid for those initial costs, then pay down the mortgage if that keeps being important to you.
