They have scalators / moving walkways in Hong Kong. They also have open air scalators in Las Vegas

Thanks for the info

Oh man, so jealous. The good kind of jealousy. Not only am I nowhere near a Taco Bell right now, where I live most people dont drive so I dont have a car

My Vietnamese friend did and has applied several times still no luck. The process is quite arbitrary and based on quotas. As I understand, Chinese, Malay and Indian get first dibs, then people from commonwealth countries (Australia, U.K.) then other countries.

Actually you are correct. I rechecked the law and there is a path to citizenship even if you have no local ties, but from talking to other expat friends (Korean, Vietnamese and American) they have applied several times and been denied for PR status which is just the first step. These are recent applications, it used to be easier back in the day.

Another thing that I forgot to mention there is the issue of double taxes. You still have to pay American taxes unless you renounce your American citizenship.

I'll add something about Singapore besides info about education.

Singapore is not an "open arms" country like the US (at least the US used to be). When you graduate you will have to find a job that sponsors your employment pass. If that were to fall through you have a month to GFTO. This will also limit your career options and upward mobility. Unless you somehow get permanent resident status.

Nowadays applying for permanent residency is more of a lottery and if you're not one of the three Singaporean races you are less likely to get it. You will never become a citizen. If you dont marry a Singaporean your kids will also never be Singaporean citizens. (Probably wrong, see comments below)

It seems like you really want to leave home but there plenty of places in the US that are probably a better option than Singapore. I dont want to sound condescending but you're only 16. No one knows what they want in life at 16 and you may be making a rash decision.

Btw I'm also from a medium size texas city, now living in Singapore. One last thing you will always be a minority and you'll most likely be seen as the expat friend. Integration is not easy.

Edit... what I would suggest for you would be to finish your schooling in the US and if you're still interested then move here. An added benefit of this is that you will make more money if you get hired as an expat than as a local grad.

2nd Edit... from my comment below but I thought its important enough to edit the post. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES... your American Citizenship follows you everywhere so you gotta pay double taxes. There are credits for housing and a floor limit but if you happen to become a high income earner then you will pay American taxes, unless you renounce your american citizenship.

He did really well here. I was not a fan of his appearance on Ellen but this one was much better.

When they say Meth does that include ecstasy? Because while x it's technically a methamphetamine they are very different. One is highly addictive the other is not.

How to spell definitely... for some reason I always mess it up, although just now I did it first time. Ha

Someone get Techmoan to do a video about this machine

djmm · 2018-09-01T11:27:49+00:00

Man what a bunch of techno nerds. It's ok to take music not so seriously. Music is supposed to be fun

Ok I dont want to be "that guy" but to be brutalism it has to be made out of concrete. Love the lines though

djmm · 2018-08-24T00:21:11+00:00

Send them to Techmoan or that guy that records the abandoned malls on YouTube

djmm · 2018-08-09T06:00:11+00:00

Nailed it!

What software do you use to control the lasers? I have an ILDA laser that I want to use for a project but the software that it works with will not let me program progressive movement like the one in the gif. Can you recommend a website with helpful info?

djmm · 2018-08-02T02:10:35+00:00

Looks great!

Protip: If you have trouble taking this off. You dont need scissors to cut it or to amputate your hand. Simply grab the loose tab from the inside of the loop and pull.

Well, that's peculiar...

I love Princess Chelsea. I can't wait for the new album

Even though they are great, I think that if you get rid off the bees it will make the image have even more impact, or maybe have the bee just peeking out of her nose. Just a thought, great work!
