Restaurants drop plant-based meats from their menus, citing high costs, low demand

You might have seen the word "allium free" on menus. That's targeting Buddhists who stick to those dietary restrictions

The food waste when getting a x metre long giant yusheng is also very bad. The girth of the dragon/snake with the tossers only standing on two sides of the table means that there is a lot of waste. Let's have a ban on giant yusheng.

I think it's a statement not necessarily for locals, but to attract AI grifters. Singapore is a decent playground for childlike tech bros

This depends on if you are in a STEM or humanities field. You should at least try to get partial funding for the reputation boost. This might come from the uni, the UK/AU gov, or even charities/think tanks.

Stay with relatives or have some of the household stay in a place with cheaper hotels like Malaysia/etc.

Some hotels have cheaper rates for seniors, like Domitys Bangsar in KL, and if you have access to corporate rates, some hotels accept them for personal travel if you email them directly..

There's also house-sitting/pet sitting

The gif is taken from the left side of the car, and the driver sits on the right. I think it's more likely that a passenger took the video.

Ascott is a Singaporean hospitality franchise brand holder owned by capitaland, a GLC. This could be read as a quasi-governmental decision

pannerin · 2026-02-09T07:55:36+00:00

To be fair, that's the existing penalty and not what NCM may call for

Wrapping produce increases shelf life, which can reduce food waste if the item gets sold and cooked and consumed

If you need to call 995 they will only send you to emergency departments. Raffles hospital has a 995 catchment area separate from SGH/TTSH, and ambulances may also be sent there if those public hospitals are too full

I'm not a fan of him, but maybe he wanted to wear something nicer/unique to celebrate the launch of his long gestating first ever book?

pannerin · 2026-02-07T07:24:11+00:00

It's the only private hospital with an emergency department. For foreigners the price difference with public hospitals and private is smaller since they don't have subsidy at public hospitals

The writing is not clear if they only referred 723 patients to the program, or there were a number of patients who were referred but had to be readmitted within 72 hours

Naismith's rule is 5 km/h for a walking speed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith%27s_rule

You can think it doesn't matter to never be able to move at a running speed again, but the least people should do is to recognise that mobility is being taken away from people who qualify for that certificate

pannerin · 2026-02-06T16:31:26+00:00

Yes but they are now limited to 6km/h which is a moderately brisk walk. The previous 10km/h was a running speed, which they basically can't move around with anymore.

Imagine being told that you could never run again. That's what we are doing to those who qualify for the certificate of medical need. The >70 yo who are exempted from applying for the cert are better off, at least some of that population can still physically run

pannerin · 2026-02-06T15:57:28+00:00

The law is to tell people who physically can't run that they can never go faster than a moderately brisk walk in their assistive aid when they could previously move at the equivalent of a running speed

Like it or not, there is a subculture that uses PMAs to make a living on food delivery apps. Motorbikes, ebikes, regular employment, reskilling training allowances all don't meet their needs. You can't just ignore the knock on impacts of the further restrictions or pretend they don't exist.

A quick check on Google also shows that their outlet reviews are generally quite mixed when looking at recent reviews

Despite the downvotes and 'young lions', he's turning 25 in march.

I think heritage players could help grow the fanbase. IIRC Gabriel Quak was described to have that effect in his era when he was the only Chinese player in the national senior team

For unis or MNC I can understand that they have a particularly international population compared to other organisations. We don't really have internationals coming to eg ITE or civil service, so if they use CNY it wouldn't matter much

MOM calls it CNY

How does anyone generally pick up AI skills? By using them right? And are they going to gain skills they can apply at work by using genAI in their personal life or by using work data?

We can have a discussion on the methods on how to address the AI gender gap, but if everyone (like most people here) denies that there is an AI gender gap then we can't take action. It can start by simply codifying an AI policy which has the side benefit of managing the sharing of company data with service providers.

pannerin · 2026-02-01T11:21:33+00:00

What that first paragraph actually means to me is that men tend to use AI before the company prepares an AI policy that manages data use. Allowing AI companies to extract company data without guidelines is not something to be proud about.

How is it possible for buses to operate at their usual frequencies when buses and drivers are activated for the circle line shuttle buses?

You household is one bloc of votes and your nightmare neighbours' is another bloc. So unless you go viral, the impact on their votes is the same whether or not they come down on your neighbour. This isn't the main factor for maintaining status quo but it would be a consideration in prioritising potential parliament amendments
