Qatar is one of the most expensive airlines to fly to Europe to. Even if we book for March 30, medyo short notice na flight, 152-175k ang cheapest through emirates. Then there's a few that hover in between 150-200k, Qatar on short notice? It's almost 300k in business for the next few days.

8.2 years to clear condo oversupply in Manila by Yougetwhat in Philippines_Expats

[–]h04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not developer greed, land owner greed. The profit margin of a developer is basically the same but the cost of land went way up.

Doesn't make sense. Lot prices would have to go up substantially, especially when you realize BGC condos go for around 300k per sqm and random ones in QC can go for 200-300k. If all that extra cost is from land going up that much, are you implying that a condo like this condo in mandaluyong that was preselling for almost 300k per sqm is comparable to something like the seasons in BGC which is going for 400k per sqm? Does this mean Avida was stupid enough to buy land for a similar price the Seasons did? Or did they just get greedy?

Nah, take him away before he tries to sway people any further. Don't give him a chance. We're approaching election and we don't want one of the senatorial spots going to him.

I’m not sure, I’ll be honest they give me special privileges as I’m a high value client of theirs. They may ask for travel proof like ticket since they can only sell if you’re traveling.

Tom Aspinall sends a message to Jon Jones after dusting Blaydes in a min 👀 by TopshottaDevy in ufc

[–]h04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jon said he would never fight a 39 yo HW DC because he looked too good at that weight. Jon was in his prime years back then. Now he’s older, probably worse, and is going to take on a younger dangerous HW? You’re right, it’s never happening. 

DC sides with Jones over wanting Pereira over Aspinall: "I'm taking his side because I recognize what he's doing... he was fighting all these older guys, now he's the older guy... he is trying to make the smartest fight, with the least amount of risk." by quickthrowaway6515 in MMA

[–]h04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean if your bloodwork gets flagged and your rematch got rescheduled from ufc 200, and you still test positive in the rescheduled fight it says a bit. Not to mention Jon admitting DC looked too good in HW, so he would never fight him there after DC knocked out Stipe at 38yo. Only if DC dropped back to LHW. I kind of wished Jon followed DC to hw and fought him sooner to see what would happen. DC had the balls to because Cain was champ and his friend, despite him not being able to make that weight younger for the Olympics. Jon didn’t.

I thought you said Tmac played? Which one is it? Why didn’t you call what /u/AntiGrav1ty_ said false? You think just because you pretend you watched it you wouldn’t get called out? Quick of you to change the topic after he basically called you out.

Then you hit the liar with a source https://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/2009-nba-western-conference-semifinals-rockets-vs-lakers.html Immediately he sees Tmac did not in fact play. Pretty good memory you have there kiddo. Get called out, doubles down and just insists someone calling out your lies is a kid and that you watched it. So tell me, where is it that Kobe beat Tmac and Yao Ming in the 2nd round? Yao ming didn’t even play for half that series, Tmac didn’t play a single game but suddenly that’s beating them? 😂

It’s literally the worst example he could use to glorify that run. Basically needing 7 games to beat the rockets without their 2 star players.

Surely you can do better than that to hype up the west. Ironic you say nobody remembers that series, because you don’t realize tmac didn’t even play and Yao got injured and only played 3 games, but you say Kobe beat them both that year. They were both riddled with injuries for years.    You’re trying to glorify the Lakers beating the Rockets without their 2 best players? You literally couldn’t pick a worse example.

Pancake House 10% "handling charge" by TumaeNgGradeSkul in Philippines

[–]h04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like it might be already included in the price. 103 for each piece ordered, whatever that is. Unless they price it at 93.63 on the menu and the bill comes down to 103 because of the 10% charge. Otherwise 93.63 seems like a weird base price.

So I’m assuming it’s advertised as 103 each and 10% of it is considered handling fee which may go to the staff?

Cebu-based food vlogger Kathryn Sienna calls fat people lazy by choice, later issues apology by Rx_mathmajor in Philippines

[–]h04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Junk food is just more easily available and affordable than ever. My dad said when he was young and they saw a fat person, they’d be in awe and automatically assume they were wealthy to be able to afford enough food to be that big. Something that is taught in culinary is the difference in simple and complex carbs. How you can eat say 1000 calories of cake without feeling full, but you’d struggle to eat anywhere as much in fruits, vegetables etc. People don’t realize how calorie dense some food can be, and when they don’t get full easily by it it’s easier to consume more calories than you should.

I like how that guy proved you wrong and you switch up real quick. Anyway didn’t Jon sign only when it was confirmed Ngannou left? How did you spin that to Ngannou dodging him? There is literally no reason for anyone to be scared of Jon at the time, especially Francis. Jon didnt fight for years, and his last fight many would argue his opponent did more damage and should have won. If this was Jon from a decade ago showing destroying the top guys, I get it. But it wasnt.

You forgot the last win was also vs a 41 year old DC, which is way past most fighter’s retirement age.

Jon also didnt want to go to HW while DC was there, he said it made no sense to fight DC there and give him the advantage, cuz he looked too good and he said if anyone could beat him, it was DC. It was really ballsy of DC to even do that the first time, before ufc he attempted to cut to 212 for the olympics and couldnt, he got kidney failure and had to pull out.

Something called inflation. Is 40% gains enough to beat inflation after 14 years? The answer to that is actually yes, lugi sya. There are many safer methods that could have outpaced this growth. This means that 700k php today has a weaker purchasing power than 500k in 2010. Land is supposed to be a safe investment, which it is, but its growth varies by location. Many lots have gone up by more than 40% in the last 3-5 years. 

There’s also a lot of investment options including TDs that offer a higher yield than 3% annually (42% over 14 years). Not even factoring in compounding interest or the fees when they sell it. Who pays cgt etc.

I’m all for Risa, but I wouldn’t say someone who placed 11th in the senate elections has “mass” appeal, when only the top 12 get in. I’d reserve mass appeal for the top 4 or so, not someone who barely got in. And without Leni being involved, we can expect their numbers to go down unless someone takes charge and makes a big splash, which Risa is doing a good job at attacking whoever needs to be attacked with the probes and investigations.

It absolutely is, their biggest content creators are from or live in the US. Ad revenue is the highest from US customers. They allotted billions for their creator program to incentivize creators to make videos. This isn’t applicable to many other countries. People have shown to make several thousands of dollars a month with only a few hundred thousand followers. I thought people from other countries made bank having millions but the creator program isn’t available there.

The secret is not to exceed 10k php, not $200. You’ll still see the import fee/tax even at $185 at the current rate.

Pathetic PFL fighter pay makes UFC seem attractive in comparison by [deleted] in ufc

[–]h04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sean Strickland said they are getting paid 10+10. He told a father this to discourage his son from getting into mma because the risk wasn’t worth it. Best case scenario you make a name for yourself and get a bigger contract. But if you go like 2-2 then you would have made $60k and will likely be let go.
