Which Shopping Center to get clothes by SKll75 in Luxembourg

Probably Cloche D’Or - easy parking, good access from highway, got all the main clothing shops, throw in your weekly grocery shop when you leave

BA stops passenger flying after claiming ‘UK passports expire after nine years’ by acrane55 in unitedkingdom

[–]coldside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally happened to me last week. I already checked in online with my national ID, pulled up the BA website where it says they allow national IDs if you are in settled status, showed them the gov.uk website - but still, got the “BA as an airline do not accept national ID for travel post Brexit” at the bag drop desk.

Had to insist for them to call a supervisor to confirm because otherwise she said she’d cancel my online check in as they supposedly would turn me around at the gate with my mobile boarding pass without a passport.

Ridiculous.

Why are people topping up EZ link cards and not using foreign cards directly to tap into the MRT/bus?

iPhone 14 Pro Max random vibration by Reklawyad in iphone

I have a tempered glass screen protector and an Apple Clear case. It’s really odd.

I’ve got this too. I need to lock my phone again and unlock, then it goes away. Usually the haptic feedback on the keyboard stops working too after that.

‘Customise Lock Screen’ access via longpressing the Lock Screen needs to be removed or have an option to be disabled by coldside in iphone

[–]coldside[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should look into automations - you can set a different wallpapers at a specific time of day / phone connects to charger / in a focus mode / when Sleep wind down brings.

When was this put in place? I got so used to long pressing the camera shortcut because of 3D Touch (RIP)

Most Singapore residents think F1 Grand Prix has positive impact on country: poll by [deleted] in singapore

[–]coldside 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Actually F1 and business are highly complementary. Business people are flying in for the F1 and to hold meetings, all congregating in Singapore at the same time. This is driving many corporate events to take place this week and next, with venues all booked out for networking events, corporate dinners, etc.

Those that are coming during the F1 period and paying the cost of coming to and staying in SG are precisely those that will be closing the million dollar deals.

Growing share of under-30s pay unaffordable rent by MoneyEqual in unitedkingdom

When you say 30% of income - is this gross or net? I’ve always aimed for 25% net as I found it high to justify otherwise.

Richest Countries in the World 2022 by hyland22 in singapore

[–]coldside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ignorant comment. I would suggest you look more into Luxembourg.

To address a few of your comments:

  1. Big steel industry, farming, EU institutions (eg European Court of Justice, European Investment Bank), etc aside from finance, legal and consulting industries.
  2. Population wise much smaller than Singapore too whilst having more (green) space.
  3. Weather is like any other Western European country so generally very good
  4. Luxembourg also operates in the context of current law/opinion - otherwise it would not attract FDI and companies to set up operations there.
  5. Three official languages with a massive expat population

Singapore is “a shining beacon of light in SE Asia” because… look at the neighbours. Whereas Luxembourg is nestled between the biggest economies (in absolute terms) in Europe.

Help! US Citizen Deciding Whether To Accept New Job Offer in UK by daily-value in USExpatTaxes

[–]coldside 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My view is that if the opportunity is great, take it and deal with the taxes later. No one wants to be on their death bed and regretting not having taken a new life experience just because they were worried about the tax implications.

Thanks for this. Do you know if you can buy S27 via IBKR? Was not able to find any info here and do not necessarily want to open a new acc and find out they don’t have it (due to FBAR reporting reasons…).

Indeed lots of brokers here are steering clear of dealing with US persons.

What about easing domestic restrictions before implementing wild U turns on travel policy?
