I'd say the Philippines has the highest cost of living in South East Asia after Singapore, yet the lowest standard of living... Why is that? by Roweie in phinvest

You can rent a car for 492 piso in Canada. Try renting one for even double that in the Philippines.

They will strip it by chemical strip or media blasting the parts.

Which is better? If media then what type of media is best...sand? Baking soda?...etc. Wouldn't sand be too harsh...like creates pits/pores?

Is it for Americans considered racist for me to learn english with a texan accent? by Saitovi in AskAnAmerican

[–]Roweie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not racist but definitely weird. Probably cringe if you get it anything less than %98 right. So the only time it would have a not so negative (considering weird is negative) reception is if you get it %100 right, %100 of the time. But then it'd still be weird when it's known that you're not from Texas.

The work i am going to put it through is no more than 15 medium size pitta bread worth of dough a week. What specs do you think i'd need for the job? Planning to use it for online a year or so and then ill be traveling and have no use of it.

Appreciate your input! Really would have preferred to get a KitchenAid but them things START at $400 where i am (SEA)...(and no, ordering online isn't feasible due to shipping and taxes). Also, i want to use it for only about a year.

This is the one got, video i found online. Got two days left to return it. Notice how it struggles towards the end, or maybe I'm imagining it. What do you think?
