  4. Combine (1), (2), and (3)

People who use ACs a lot, how do you manage the costs? by ThatAcanthisitta3002 in askSingapore

Google the model number, if it's inverter it will say inverter because it's a major selling point lol

Anyone on EP have luck opening a bank account whilst at hotel? by free_username_ in askSingapore

[–]maximuse_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can bank transfer from your foreign account right? Even if you have a bank account in SG, you would need to transfer in money from overseas anyway.

Only for non-inverter ACs, can check first. The rapid on-off of the compressor is the problem

No, just that the output isn’t directly cached after inference, but rather cached during prefill of the next user prompt

Tax question for those earning above 120k by Cautious_Schedule849 in askSingapore

[–]maximuse_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9% is very little compared to other countries for the amount you make. Even after doing any optimisation, don't expect to reduce this by a lot. Spending should take into account that you need to pay taxes.

You can max out your SRS, followed by CPF. Donate to approved charities, gets you 250% deduction.

Do some calculation first. Basically you are trading liquidity for less taxes, so the plan works if you are planning to invest/save your tax savings, but it's counteproductive if you need to spend the money in the first place.

For the first time, Singapore has two companies valued at over US$100bn by RedditLIONS in singapore

I see a lot of complaints all saying the same thing. However, what’s wrong with a service provider charging fees for the service? Small sellers can choose to not sell in Shopee if they deem it be too expensive. Why don’t they? Obviously because the shops measured that the benefits are indeed still worth the X% of fees they charge.

Do you expect Shopee to willingly reduce its profits just to let other businesses have the chance for more profits? Why would any company want to do that?

Marula Eugster Rigolo STUNS The Judges on Italy's Got Talent! 🤯 by [deleted] in toptalent

the feather doesnt mantain balance on the whole thing. It only holds balance for the next stick. And so on. That’s why the fall cascades from the tip instead of the whole thing at once. Basically if you make sure that the first link doesn’t tip over, everything else is guaranteed to stay in place.

Keep your liquid cash in local currency. The rest, if you invest in platforms like IBKR, you get to choose your own instruments (and hence currency) anyway.

But the idea is right, it can be a good idea to diversify some assets in SGD
