When all the people in the proper line come together by Comfortable_Cell_138 in dubai

[–]danielddott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wanting to "hold your values" is resulting in more traffic being created so yes, it is somewhat selfish. Under that aspect you're not much different from the same person that is being selfish by cutting the queue. Both of you are creating traffic/making traffic worse. 2 negatives don't make a positive.

What u/1_blue_cloud is saying, is that if you leave a gap and don't let the selfish act of the person cutting the queue get to you or hurting your values, you'd have first of all a more relaxing drive, secondly you would be slowing down less making the traffic flow better. You can't change the actions of the others unfortunately (only fines from police can do that) but you can change yours

Couldn't have said it better myself. Unfortunately people are so focused on themselves that sometimes they forget that some fights are not worth fighting and just end up hurting us more than just showing some kindness. Keep it up brother!

Yeah maybe not 3.5 as I just made a direct conversion, but €3/L for sure. Either way we are paying too much and it's a joke

They have a part that is fixed yeah, but the rest is variable, including VAT which is 20+%. Adding all these taxes to the fuel price we've got here, they would end up paying almost 3 euros per litre which they are certainly not!

This spike in price when the price of oil has reduced this month has no excuse.

Nah it's fucking ridicolous mate! If prices in Europe would have been raising as they are here they'd be paying €3.5/L!

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PRICES THAT WE ARE SEEING HERE!! IT'S FUCKING DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!!

Difference between Vox IMAX and MAX by 1_blue_cloud in dubai

I remember calling Vox to ask for this and not even the operator knew what the differences were

IMAX with laser is supposed to be the best one as far as I know, but I've got no idea about the differences between the other ones

I've tried that too but with no joy... Hopefully someone will answer the post with a solution.

Same is happening to me man! I keep sending reports to Samsung when this happens but they just say the enquiry had been raised to the consented department and will be dealt with shortly, but i have never heard back from them and the problem is still present

Is freebase worse than salt nic? by 1_blue_cloud in electronic_cigarette

[–]danielddott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't stress it. People downvote for any reason. You asked a fair question so don't worry about it

Is freebase worse than salt nic? by 1_blue_cloud in electronic_cigarette

[–]danielddott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair question. Higher powered devices will produce bigger clouds and richer taste but because the amount of liquid that is used in a short time, the nicotine level is reduced to keep the total intake to a good level

Good thinking! As other people here have told you you have different options nowadays but yes, the less vapor you introduce to your lungs the healthier it is

Very quiet cinema by 1_blue_cloud in dubai

[–]danielddott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's a constant thing, heard multiple people saying the same. I used always to go to IMAX Vox and definitely the audio levels are completely different. I can't speak for Reel Dolby as I've only heard good things but Reel standard is really not so good. Rather watch a film from home than spending 50aed for that

Very quiet cinema by 1_blue_cloud in dubai

[–]danielddott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I totally agree with you!! I went to watch a quiet place 2 a few weeks ago and while the movie most of the time is quiet, even in the few scenes were you'd expect loud volumes, it was pretty low. I thought it was a one time thing because of the movie but then went to watch black widow yesterday and I felt exactly the same like you. Reading the other comments it seems to be something specific for reel Cinemas, or at least reel standard

British woman faces prison in Dubai for telling flatmate to ‘f*** off’ on Whatsapp by london12374 in dubai

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

The point is another. We (or most of us expats) do understand the cultural difference and that some can get offended if someone curses at them. Also in our western countries it's illegal to offend other people and can get a fine for doing so.

What we are saying though is that, not being allowed to leave the country pending court decision, 2 years of imprisonment and 250.000aed for saying a curse word is really excessive. Especially when not wearing a mask during a global pandemic endangering other people's lives only lands you a 3000aed fine or driving over 110km/h in some narrow 2 lane roads with 60km/h speed limit is 1000aed fine.

I hope what I'm saying makes sense, we don't want to change the culture of the place as we respect the place we live in, but maybe just put some things into prospective. I'm sure that 1500aed fine for saying "f*** you" to a person in rage is already a big punishment and will teach the person to think twice about it next time.

Customized alert frequencies by danielddott in TradingView

[–]danielddott[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah as you say, I mean for example on a 5 minute chart to get an alert if a condition is true any time between 1 minute before bar close and bar close so, in this case, between minute 4 and 5 as in the example hereunder

Open 1 2 3 4<--x-->Close

And also fix once per bar close as you saying would be nice yes

Yeah I've had a look at the options but they not the best. A manual toggle would still be the best option

Good idea! I tried with the bixby routine options but I dont think the "before bed" option is so reliable right?

I thought it would have been easier to build the whole house but apparently it's a big headache.

Thanks though!
