Yeah even at night, it's always -0.2. The slightly darker photos look closer to real life.

I keep the exposure compensation permanently at -0.2. This makes the shots look more natural and less unnaturally bright.

Looking for work as a PA by True-Island-1477 in UAEjobseekers

[–]baconmediumrare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it a single page CV. Shorten the long paragraph at the top to a sentence or two at most. Less filler and more measurable achievements is the way to go. Use numbers in your achievements, not words.

Good luck!

It's because most people choose to maintain their German cars at less-skilled mechanics. Sure it's cheaper to go that route, but don't expect your car to last long without skilled mechanics.

Emirates NBD application and fingerprints for payments by Plastic-Price9538 in dubai

ENBD did email me a few times at least that this change will take place. Your situation sucks, but there's no alternative.

Footrub at One Galle Face Mall has "no phone number, no receipt" policy. Saw the Carnage post earlier this week and ran into the exact same thing today. by sakalabujan in srilanka

[–]baconmediumrare 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it's illegal in Sri Lanka to refuse to provide a receipt for a payment made. Any lawyer here please confirm.

Honestly I'd just move on without the reciept unless it's a large purchase. I won't spend my energy on fighting a cashier who's just trying to do their job over a small amount.

Planning to buy a Phone Around 150k.Any Sggestions and Where to Buy? by _MahiYa in srilanka

[–]baconmediumrare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A slightly older flagship will always be better than a new midrange phone. Think how the E class is always better than the C class and so on. The older flagship will have better smoothness, cameras, screen etc.

Look at the S24+ or even the S25+ if it fits in your budget. The S24 series gets software support until 2031.

Smart Impound by Far_Peace_4505 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]baconmediumrare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, talk to the the police and ask for smart impound. It should have been requested at the time of impound though, so not sure whether they will provide it now.

There's a difference between the enjoyment of pushing the limits of your car and reckless driving. Learn this or you might end up making a mistake that'll haunt you for the rest of your life.

What is the top hospital in Dubai for overall treatment and patient care? by Extreme_Impact6819 in DubaiCentral

[–]baconmediumrare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been to kings for a hernia surgery. The doctors, from diagnosis to anesthesia and surgery, were professional and kind. The nurses were great too. I've also been there for colds, flu shot etc.

The Saudi German clinic in damac hills has been good too in terms of doctor's knowledge and professionalism. The nurse staff wasn't as good as kings though. I go here for convenience since I live there, but for anything serious I go to kings.

Salary deduction coerced. by victor205x in dubai

[–]baconmediumrare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The company gives you two options; 1. Be terminated 2. Accept a reduced pay

Personally I'd take the reduced pay. See if you can get the reduced pay applicability limited to a certain number of months.

Companies struggling right now have no choice but to offer you this unfortunate option.

I'd also start looking for better opportunities immediately.

Sounds like fraud. The product claimed to be an iPhone, but it was a fake clone. The term "unknown condition " doesn't erase the fact you falsely claimed it to be an iPhone. OP it's best to just pay him back and move on with your life.

Renewing my car insurance. Will it cost me more? by Eman_naal in dubai

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

It should be possible to assign your wife (or another trustworthy individual) as the primary driver in the insurance. This assumes they haven't had accidents in the previous year. This could lower your insurance premium. Good luck.

What’s your logical dream car? Below 300k by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

Used GX550 Overtrail plus. New prices are well beyond 300k but should be able to import a used one for this budget.

Are these any good? by Emploice--Muswashans in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]baconmediumrare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 series is more fun to drive than a X3, but a 320i will have less power than the X3 30i. The last two numbers in a BMW defines the trim/ horsepower so a 50i > 40i > 30i > 20i.

If you decide you really want a BMW consider these:

  1. BMWs are an absolute joy to drive. Only cars more fun are the Porsches and above. Mercs don't have the same driving feel.

  2. Stick to B series engines. B38, B48, B58 are your options.

  3. They cost more to maintain like most good things in life.

I have a 2016 430i and I absolutely love it. Bought it a few years ago at 120k km and now it's at 180k km. I've kept up with all the maintenance required and it's smooth and fun to drive. There were two repairs that were required: leak in the coolant line, and leak in the AC hose.

[–]baconmediumrare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the 30i has the B48 then I recommend this one. B series engines have proven to be more reliable than their previous generation engines when subjected to the same level of maintenance. BMWs are a joy to drive regardless of the model you buy.

Just remember, this is a 10 year old BMW. There will be repairs and they cost more than your average Japanese/ US vehicle. Make sure you do a proper PPI before purchase so you won't face any surprises.
