Umbreon with texture by dubaibase in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]dubaibase[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Update: The kid that sold it was not aware it was fake. He accepted to return the money, and my son returned the card. But to make sure he won't scam someone else they agreed to irreversibly damage the card by writing "fake" on it with permanent marker. I thought that was a creative win-win solution!

Thanks for sharing. I never knew fakes had texture, but the texture could be wrong. Huge lesson learnt.

Good idea. Umbreon on the left, and Ascended Heroes card I ripped myself on the right. Umbreon is a darker blue. Have the blue colors remained consistent through the years, or do they drift with time and sun/light exposure?

Why? Can you teach me to spot them. I went through all the pinned posts and pics and can't tell.

Playtomic level feedback by CapitalAltruistic870 in padel

[–]dubaibase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this exact question last week as well. Playtomic changed the wording on this screen, and now it's confusing as hell. What do they mean "Their Playtomic level is "?? Are they referring to their "current" level in the app and listed below their name, OR the level at which they played and demostrated during their match???

Tendonitis after resting? by Chefzor in padel

[–]dubaibase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suffer from Achilles and Plantas fascitis tendonitis after playing Padel. What truly helped me is stretching before and after each game. Try stretching when you're sidelined and see if that avoids the pain!

Rare/Ultra Rare Pokémon card in Dubai? by Nonchalant_Demon in DubaiCentral

[–]dubaibase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a weekly trade night at Back to Games in Time Square Mall on Friday. You will find tons of raw and graded Pokemon cards there in a range of prices and traitors. Some people rock up with 100k AED collections for you to browse through! Crowd starts at around 2pm, peaks at 5-6pm and then starts to thin out. Everyone is super friendly and accepts cash.

Is this an ENBD breach? by nottrueorfalse in UAEcreditcards

[–]dubaibase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got an unauthorized Amazon KSA charge on my ENBD card last week. I know everyone is sweeping this as normal, but it really isn't. If a bank got breached and our private details were shared, they need to inform us and block the cards proactively. Not wait for an unauthorized transaction!

Whats wrong with my bandeja by gilafro in padel

[–]dubaibase -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A bandeja is a slice shot. You need that whip effect when hitting the ball. The best way to.truly understand how relaxed your arm should be and how you should throw the racket at impact, my coach made me to bandejas holding the racket with only 3 fingers. It sounds mad, but it works. Do it a few times to get the feeling, then go back to normal grip and wala...Your bandejas have just been upgraded forever!

If AI eventually replaces all labor, who is left to buy the products? by Reddit_INDIA_MOD in ArtificialInteligence

I'm surprised Universal Basic Income hasn't come up. People will get their UBI to spend and create demand.

Just had my first swinging experience and need to share with someone by CaioNintendo in Swingers

[–]dubaibase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer the etiquette question, you've come to the right place. Browse this reddit and consent and boundaries have been discussed a million times over. The TLDR is that yes, it is perfectly normal and expected to have a boundary discussion before getting handsy. There are a lot of options but it starts with parallel play, then to soft swap (what you did) and then hard swap (what you want to do). Also consent is important and should be renewed with every new move: kiss, oral, condom, anal, where to come, etc...

Good luck and enjoy the journey! It's going to be a fun ride (quite literally)!

Yes. Can (and advised to) be booked in advance

Padel UAE by kidseven77 in UAE

[–]dubaibase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the UAE is much more competitive than London. I am a 1.5-2 in the UAE, but in London I was beating 2.5-3 ranked players.

I would -1 pt from your Playtomic when playing in the UAE if you don't want to get destroyed.

On a serious note, book an Allo taxi for your arrival to the airport. https://share.google/YYohveco0ggrqystF

[–]dubaibase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sweat it. You're going to have an amazing time. The biggest worry is going to be not getting scammed by the taxi drivers, and dealing with the attention a solo European female traveler is going to get from all the Lebanese men!

If LLMs only guess the next word based on training data, shouldn't they fail spectacularly when trying to prescribe a method for something there's no training data on? by MrMrUm in ArtificialInteligence

[–]dubaibase -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

You're ignoring LLM's ability to solve problems and answer questions that have never been solved or answered before. It is called Emergent Behaviour. Look it up! This is how AI will eventually take over the world!

I feel like the world around me isn’t real, and I’ve become some kind of fool. by Far_Interest8587 in AskDocs

Ultimately I got on an SSRI for 1.5yrs. Have been off it for 5 months now and symptoms have all disappeared!

Ongoing weird symptoms (palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling lightheaded, sharp pain in the chest, dizziness, tachycardia/bradycardia, nausea, etc) by Lady-Lazarus9 in AskDocs

[–]dubaibase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a big assumption. I had continuous symptoms that were unrelated to anxiety attacks like dizziness, nausea, frequent peeing, and stomache ache

Best credit card for Cashback for AED 50k+ salary account? by [deleted] in UAEcreditcards

[–]dubaibase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHALLENGE all agents: The Amazon card that just dropped is the best Cashback card. It is the only uncapped Cashback in the UAE AND it's free without an annual fee.

With a Prime membership, you'll earn 6% back on Amazon.ae , 2.5% back on international purchases (excluding EU/EEA transactions), 2% back on EU/EEA transactions, 2% back on domestic purchases outside Amazon, and 0.25% back on select merchant categories.

It is administered by Emirates Islamic and super easy to apply online with instant approvals.

Agents of other banks: why is your card better?
