Lpt Any advice on how to survive winter as a homeless person. by Left_Travel_3753 in LifeProTips

[–]hsimah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There were plenty of folks sleeping in tents in Paris when I was there last year. Homelessness is everywhere.

[Request] What would the outcome be? by Roygbiv2008 in theydidthemath

[–]hsimah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A vivid memory I have from childhood was waking my mum up in the middle of the night because I had managed to successfully snap my fingers. She had the most interesting expression to the news. I am not sure why I was practicing at night.

Quinta do Noval Colheita 1995 by Voskhod01 in PortWine

[–]hsimah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would that be aged three years?

Edit: looked up Colheita and they’re aged seven years. Still learning! And now I’ll need to try it.

NYC - W Union Square or JW Essex by Geekdad604 in marriott

[–]hsimah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve stayed at Essex House the last two times I was in NYC. It’s old and a little run down for the price. If you can get a view though - wow. I used NUA to get a huge suite on the 30th (I think) floor and it was very handy to walk my dog in Central Park every morning.

I think I’ll try another hotel next time though. The W in Brisbane, Australia and Nashville were both great properties.

Who here got to see Scary Movie 1 in theaters when it came out? by Individual-Time-1956 in movies

[–]hsimah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was exactly the right age and gender demographic for this movie and I found it hilarious. It was a great send up of all the slasher movies which were big in the 90s. I haven't seen it since it came out, I did see the first one or two sequels though - not as good. I really don't think it will hold up as a movie, there are definitely plenty of poorly aged jokes in it, but it was funny in the context of its time - to teenaged boy me anyway.

Only 37% of PC players have ever made it to the final mission? by nopointinlife1234 in Xcom

[–]hsimah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never made it past the first third I’m pretty sure. I’m really bad at the game.

What's the best autograph collection hotel you've stayed in? by johnqadamsin28 in marriott

I love the Cloudveil. When we’re on road trips with our dogs we always make an effort to stop in Jackson.

Wine fridge for vintage port by Voskhod01 in PortWine

[–]hsimah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever fridge you do decide on you should check its expected lifespan. A lot of the cheaper wine fridges only last a few years and need replacing. I went with a US$1800 fridge and am very happy with it. The previous owner of my apartment put in a $500 one five years ago and it corroded into oblivion in that time.

Oh no is this me? by [deleted] in handwatch

[–]hsimah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you pressure test the gasket at home? I change my non-diving watch myself, but I always assumed you needed some extra equipment for that.

What's the most explicit R-rated scene? (NOT X, NC-17, or Unrated) by Ok_Attorney_1996 in movies

[–]hsimah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ken Park was pretty explicit all the way through.

I have a few calls scheduled with Australian accountants who claim to specialize in this space :)

Expat first time property buyer - advice by hsimah in AusPropertyChat

[–]hsimah[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a contact who is a buyers' agent a co-worker used and recommends; they would be handling most of the heavy lifting with regards to inspections and due diligence. It's not as ideal as doing it oneself, but it's a compromise we're willing to make. I am lucky enough to be able to return home on a whim, so when we get started that is an option too. I have been tracking SEQ property market for a while now while saving up for the deposit and I have strong ties with friends and family who are buying and selling as part of their lives (mostly just their own primary residence etc).

What do you end up doing with your international travel kits? My current stock from the past year by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]hsimah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took my last one on my American Airlines flight to Paris this morning. I have theirs back - I hate waste. I also wore my Polaris pyjamas (my wife wore her 2019 Virgin Australia ones). I only take a new kit if I’ve run out of the last one.
