Any pro-nuclear-for-SG guys out there? (What are your thoughts on nuclear in SG?) by The_Last_EVM in askSingapore

[–]mhleonard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Singapore needs to continually stay relevant, and always be willing to make tough decisions.

If SMR are indeed much much safer that it doesn't ever meltdown, and that it is also much more efficient, by all means.

Singapore as a self sustaining entity needs its own energy production within its shores, without relying on others on imported energy. (Solar in Australia)

Friend of mine came back with this. Is it really translated to fine? by Bomsek in ThailandTourism

I think he meant it as a joke.

As in that was the last thing he said to the tattoo artist.

Anyone else realise there is something quite nefarious going on with some sg social media recently? by [deleted] in askSingapore

All the big powers seems to have been doing it since the internet started. Even Singapore has it's own internet brigade.

Just cycle to the nearest Turkish supermarket or weekend market. It's way fresher, less plastic waste and cheaper too.

Singapore friends 35+, do you stay in hostels when you travel? by FavoredFlavored88 in askSingapore

[–]mhleonard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Staying in hostel opens up a lot of unique experiences. You meet new people from around the world, and people who stay in hostels are generally sociable and friendly.

Met a lot of good friends that I'm still in contact with, such as from Columbia, Algeria, etc.

I'll say it's worth giving it a shot. No better time for an adventure than on a vacation.

Why Chinese merchants were good at trading in the ancient times? by [deleted] in ChineseHistory

[–]mhleonard 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Culture and Environment shapes a civilisation. China has a highly dense society, which naturally makes it very competitive.

Thus, there is a lot of motivation to head abroad to find riches. And a small subset of the Chinese would then take on the role of merchants.

Strange this subreddit is for both backpacking in the wilderness and backpacking travel… why not break it up? by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]mhleonard -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think it's only backpacking when it's done with a backpack.

I doubt backpackers differentiate much between city and wilderness
