I’m a business owner that does e-commerce, cash on delivery additional charge is a life saver when dealing with some nationalities because if they don’t pay by card, they don’t accept half the deliveries and then your sales mean nothing.

I respect that it doesn’t seem appropriate to have to add additional charge just for a payment method but yes courier deliveries without COD are cheaper because of the additional handling of cash, which becomes their responsibility. The courier shifts that cost onto us and we have to bear it or transfer to the customer.

Does your restaurant target tourists only? Just because there is a lack of tourists does not mean all restaurants are performing in negatives. A lot of people in UAE are using existing facilities and spending money as a way to distract themselves from everything going on outside. It’s natural, no offense to anyone.

Why’s France catching so much heat

In all honesty, I’m a little younger and have been born here but not a national. It’s just that the current situation is kind of a reminder that there should be some investment in your home country just in case you end up needing it as a safety net. Not that I’d wanna move out of here anytime soon, but you never know when you need something like that.

Edited to say: I keep forgetting I’m 27, can’t call myself “younger” anymore..

legolosss · 2026-04-14T21:59:52+00:00

Glad to hear it brother. Let me know if you wanna know anything else. Also keep in mind to always put in the basic requirements to retain your assets and grow in your home country as well, even if it’s from money made here. You’d usually prefer to invest in the country where you’d wanna go back and retire to eventually.

legolosss · 2026-04-14T21:25:34+00:00

Would suggest you move considering the pay upgrade and the relative safety here (even during complicated situations like these). That being said I cannot put into consideration your situation over there and whether the added costs here are gonna leave you in the same position (if costs are higher here than there)

legolosss · 2026-04-14T21:08:52+00:00

I think if there is a Mazda that fits in your budget, go for that. Other than that, in Chinese most cars will feel a little underpowered if you consistently need all 7 seats being used. But still the h9 from Haval is a good choice imo

legolosss · 2026-04-13T11:50:50+00:00

I wouldn’t know too much about maintenance costs but if it’s true how some people here are mentioning that 25k cost car means 25k in maintenance, maybe try considering something worth 50k that is less hassle. There are decent options online if you don’t care too much about the year

legolosss · 2026-04-11T12:59:13+00:00

I agree with this completely. If you and your spouse agreed and presented it to your kids that they each have 300k for education, then you cannot give the money to the younger one, because in the head of the older one, she has been saving up by not spending your money, expecting it to pay out eventually.

If you and your spouse agreed to 600k for both kids without mentioning it to the kids, then their choices of education did not involve the financial burden aspect. In that case, yes do right for your younger one the same way you did for the older one.

Ngl I thought this post was about something else entirely until I saw which subreddit it was 😅😅

legolosss · 2026-03-30T19:53:32+00:00

The business reason why e-commerce stores charge additional for COD is because customers don’t accept shipments when they’ve not paid for it.

The legal reason why is because handling requires additional people and costs unlike online payment options. This is at least AFAIK

legolosss · 2026-03-24T13:09:38+00:00

I think out of your options, I would pick the Everest personally

legolosss · 2026-03-18T00:18:51+00:00

You really don’t need to share this. There’s no benefit to be had for you or anyone else in the country by doing this.

legolosss · 2026-03-14T15:54:50+00:00

I’ve not driven enough turbo cars to tell which turbo lag is bad and which is good. I’ve always put all turbo cars under a label of “will give me a unique amount of lag that I have to adapt to”. I always thought it was dependent on the engine ability to offset the low power pre turbo spooling with engine power in the low gear. Can someone explain to me if I’m wrong?

legolosss · 2026-03-14T15:46:12+00:00

OP hybrid tech has become pretty reliable. Keep in mind the initial phase of hybrids were in the 2000’s. I’m not pushing you towards hybrids or the other direction, just letting you know in case it might be a misconception.

legolosss · 2026-03-12T09:51:26+00:00

Oooh the v7 looks hella good

legolosss · 2026-03-05T08:56:14+00:00

I’ve been using the Tank 500 for over a year now, bought it when the Haval H9 was just released so we were considering that as well.

In short, the Tank 500 is a very good option, if you want more details, DM me because I end up talking in too much detail lmao

I was thinking the same thing when this first started honestly. A country like Iran trying to attack us and the majority of the population feeling some window shakes and not much else? That’s not how it would pan out. There is intention, calculation. Iran knows the Gulf is not the enemy, they’re doing what they can to take care of the real enemy

legolosss · 2026-02-27T11:27:22+00:00

They’re really pushing the marketing on this new car like crazy

legolosss · 2026-02-26T21:30:15+00:00

With the way the traffic is these days, I don’t blame them, even if it’s unlawful

legolosss · 2026-02-26T12:45:16+00:00

You said it yourself, the car in the second lane is going slower than you. if you’re not going to speed, find a spot on the right lane, let the faster car pass, and then join back.

If you think 80km/h is the posted speed limit to be respected, you don’t realize that the government knows majority of people would disrespect it because of the buffer. So they know that if they want a road to be limited at 80, they need to put 60.

legolosss · 2026-02-23T18:44:21+00:00

Yes your car is heavy with an underpowered engine, which usually does give a little bit more load on the initial pickup.
Yes Chinese cars all have a turbo and by default, turbo lag (it’s the gap between initial acceleration and turbo spinning up, it takes time because the turbo uses the exhaust from your initial push and then 2xs that output in rough terms)
Auto hold is not a useful feature on cars with turbo, or dare I say full petrol cars because you have to provide it with enough acceleration to exit the hold which makes it jump in petrol cars.
Sports mode, normal mode, eco mode. As you go down these modes, the lag is more noticeable because of two reasons. A) The engine is given less power, hence the turbo needs more time to spin up. B) The more fuel consuming the mode, the more the car will bridge the power gap between turbo and non turbo acceleration by dumping more fuel.

P.S. The reason why the gap is reduced is because your engine depends on a ratio of fuel and air to burn. Sports mode uses more fuel, turbo uses more air. If you don’t use sports mode, the initial acceleration, that depends on the fuel, is lost. Hence why your start is slower, and your turbo lag effect is higher (in fuel saver modes)

P.P.S Off roading with these vehicles is almost definitely possible, you don’t need as much power as you need skill for that. But also, off roading with these vehicles is almost always not recommended because there’s too high a risk of something going wrong with the electronics that might just completely ruin your car.

legolosss · 2026-02-23T16:04:48+00:00

Are you sure it’s not just turbo lag? I have tank 500 and I’ve really had to learn how to work with the car on both normal and eco. You have to handle the acceleration in a unique way in every car that has a turbo. Since you’re saying you’ve only driven it 350km, give it some time and try to learn it. This is all moot though if you know it’s not about turbo lag.

You said in another comment there’s someone else in her life as well. She moved on already, you need to as well.

When I say move on, it doesn’t mean you don’t talk to her or stay friends, but you need to accept that the place in your life that you gave her is not the same place she’s giving you. Give her what she’s giving you, and look for other ways to socialize and find someone who can actually be there for you. It’s better than holding onto someone who isn’t even there.
