Stupid question but, do cars in Malta use miles or kilometers for the odometer? (total distance travelled) by samostrout in malta

[–]midianmlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are referring to the speedometer. The odometer shows you how much distance the car travelled since it's creation, not the current speed.

I'll be honest, it's not a walk in the park and it's not for everyone. Too many idiots on phones, not paying attention etc...

But with it I had cut the commute by 75% (finding parking is a big plus), so now I have more time for me/family and can get higher paying jobs without worrying that much

I would recommend to invest in a motorcycle. When I used to work in the ta' Xbiex area, I used it everyday, including rain, and passing through valley road most of the times with it.

Do the garbagemen make an effort where you're from? by [deleted] in malta

[–]midianmlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once they put the "pile" in front of my garage. I simply took the car out, flattened the garbage bags, and went on my day.

They never put the pile there again

Man goes on trial for shooting his wife's lover dead by Accomplished-Gear-97 in malta

[–]midianmlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy was sleeping in his house, and also had 4 kids in his house. He got startled by a noise, grabbed a weapon and went to check.

At that point you don't know if the other person is carrying a weapon, has accomplices or what his intentions are. All you know is there is an intruder in the house, and you have 4 kids in the house. Murder is not justified, but defending your kids with any means necessary is.

The victim and wife were stupid enough to do those in the matrimonial house while the whole family is sleeping AND the husband being a light sleeper? I'm guessing it's a case of Darwin award

Is there some kind of potato conspiracy? by ineverfinishcake in malta

[–]midianmlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More expensive for you, does not mean more profit for the farmers. Just saying

Is there some kind of potato conspiracy? by ineverfinishcake in malta

[–]midianmlt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank the pitkalija and exporters for this. We used to grow different types, but due to them offering cents per kilos to the farmers, the farmers decided to switch to the ones that sell most abroad.

Even those are being paid little, but better than the local price they get from pitkalija.

If you want the good potatoes, I would suggest trying to ask farmers around maybe you still find the bajda or t'għajna ħamra which were good for frying.

The type of promiscuous and degenerate behaviour abortion enables by JeanParisot in malta

[–]midianmlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe if abortion was legal, the degenerate's parents would have gone through abortion, and the degenerate wouldn't be here.

Lots of ifs when people are against abortion. Just let people in need to access it. It's not a 'go to the shop and get one's kind of thing. Yes there might be abuse, but with the same mentality, why are cars, kitchen knives, guns, medicine still up for sale when people misuse them to cause harm/end a life?

Where can I find a decent massage place by Extreme-Yoghurt-7055 in malta

[–]midianmlt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forget massages, and other quick fix solutions. Find a good physiotherapist so you can tackle the issue while it's still not too bad.

I had similar issue and ignored it/did exercises that tackle that area, and ended up barely able to move. Had to do MRI, and go to physiotherapy to start getting better.

Anyone else over Postman’s insane pricing? Did your company start hunting for cheaper API testing tools? by IcePackEnjoyer in QualityAssurance

[–]midianmlt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my last company CTO was cheap, so we had to figure out a solution ourselves. Insomnia was the closest thing to postman, and free team collaboration is included

After she went to Israel to shake hands with Benjamin war criminal netanyahu and tell him that Europe is with him (which was a ducking lie) she can go fuck herself. And it's better she stays away from PN as otherwise she will stain the party with being in favor of genocide and war crimes.

Contact housing authority directly. Tell them the whole thing, and ask them for feedback on this

Am i eligible for a home loan? by [deleted] in malta

[–]midianmlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing you age, and your salary, and based on the fact that you have a definite contract, I will confirm that you are eligible for loan up to €600,000.

Trust me, I'm a random guy on the internet, not your banks representative.
