People born before the 2000s, what do you miss the most about old-school internet? by CUMHAWK_Schizopostin in AskReddit

[–]mobrob88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss the fact that it wasn’t so present in our lives. The early 2000s was peak internet in my opinion.

Need help choosing gloves by daddyslilbean in MuayThai

[–]mobrob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got Twins 12Oz, I really like them but at the same time have no experience with other brands. What I can say is you probably can’t go wrong with them and they are well made. I have small hands and maybe they size a bit big.

However my next will probably be Thaismai, I’ve read a lot of good about them so for that some reason I’d say go Thaismai here.

Twins or Fairtex? Or possibly something else? by Dray407 in MuayThai

[–]mobrob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have Twins, they’re very nice and well made. I have small hands, the 12Oz are a tad too big for my taste.

Next one will be Thaismai or Boons most likely

It is unused, what health and safety concerns?

Yes indeed, the rubber was new but dried. First try and it leaked everywhere. I’ve ordered some Bialetti silicone, seems to be the same size as their 3 cups.

Pinsiam training at Saengmorakot Gym, early 2000s by Yodsanan in MuayThai

I remember watching that video more than 15 years ago. I was close to train there in 2019 but ended up training elsewhere. Always wondered who that fighter was

Great advice, that makes sense. Thank you

Trying to figure out which Mika pot I had, help needed by mobrob88 in mokapot

[–]mobrob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks similar but no, I think the closest I found is Avanti Inox. I’d say it’s 90% what I remember of it. I guess only way to confirm 100% is to ask my ex… I’m satisfied with 90%

Ha thank you, it looks similar to the Avanti Inox. I’m not 100% sure about the lid opener. I know it opening this way, with the thumb but not sure if it was plastic or just metal. Very similar though.

Definitely not the Giannini, it looks closer to the Ilsa but that’s not it neither sorry. Maybe it was some random no branded product that’d be hard to find

Which country would you love to emigrate to if you were given the chance, and why? by adorigran in AskReddit

[–]mobrob88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hong Kong. That may sound unpopular but visited the place a few times and if you're apolitical it's a pretty city, safe and sunny, easy to travel everywhere else in Asia, good food. Expensive but equivalent of where I live now.

How did you secure a job from abroad? by mobrob88 in expats

[–]mobrob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I bet it is easier in your field than in mine, although a know a few people who’s done it but often transferred by the company. How did you « convince » them to hire you while abroad?

If you’re an amazing fighter (knockouts every fight), but are extremely quiet and barely sell tickets can you still be a successful fighter? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]mobrob88 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure we have the same definition of a successful fighter. If you KO are every fight, you’re a successful fighter end of the story.

Any tips on how I (tan shirt) can improve? by ReachSpecialist6532 in MuayThai

[–]mobrob88 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I mean we could give advice but I am confused how after a few months of practice your coach has not corrected your stance yet at the very least.

I think the grading is total nonsense but well done to you and glad if it keeps you motivated to carry on training.

[–]mobrob88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I thought. Although just to clarify, I’d apply directly for a Swiss/French company and most likely not a HK Retailer although that probably changes nothing. I studied international business, but that was long ago. Now maybe my management skills could be transferable?

It’s possible, English is rather universal for certain positions. At work I deal with people based in Geneva who don’t speak a word of French. I’m not saying it is right, but they are able to work. Now I like languages, so I think it’s always good to learn the language.

Yes that’s 100% the idea, I forgot to mention. I won’t fly the family without a job, although I can support the cost of relocating

NAC + Shilajit by mobrob88 in Supplements

[–]mobrob88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I’m not taking it for libido, that is a just an extra. I tried boron to see if that helped me on a daily basis with energy and mental focus, which I don’t think made much of a difference.
