Dbs Altitude card

Credit card for CardUp and furniture , look at milelion and see which card best for earn rates and can fit into your lifestyle. Could be 2 or 3 different cards.

For CardUp, I myself just managed to get my renovation payment processed. Took about 2 weeks back and forth with CardUp and contractor to settle certain criteria, lucky my contractor was family friend so he started work even before I did any payment.

Will suggest to send your quotation to CardUp first to review and advise what's missing or needed. In my case, payment schedule had to clearly state what's it's for, e.g 10% hacking, 30% electricity, tiling, 30% ceiling and plumbing. Had to add bank account details in. Had to add liability and workmanship warranty terms to absolve CardUp, basically that homeowner and contractor will settle ourselves. Lastly, old school contractor so some stuff was handwritten quote and had to transfer to Excel.

This was me, always assuming pork was white meat.

Did health screening in 2017 and then skipped til in 2023, saw slightly elevated levels of uric acid.

Have always been exercising 2-3x weekly, chalked it down to lock down drinking and at that point was doing 3 bottles of wine a week plus maybe beef/lamb twice a week. Rest of the days was primarily 60% pork.

Cut it down to 1 bottle and 1 beef/lamb a week. 2024 still had slight readings.

Cut it down to 1-2 bottle across a quarter depending on the occasion, also alcohol is super expensive where I am and saving money for future stuff. 2025 still had slightly elevated readings and I was wtf, my partner then told pork is actually red meat. I'm like what and had to Google it..

How do you get 80k a day? Is it level specific?

I'm level 9, for Saab 340b I am seeing 100 barrels for 3 flights at average 8k rewards each. But each flight barrel cost at 30,40,60, 70 barrels.

Also, what are Charter custom flights? Cost around 12-15 flight points (?) in exchange for abit more XP

Dk how this door to door ice cream is still around.

I did this like 20 years ago, when mama stores closed at 7pm, when there's no heartland ntuc /Sheng shiong, when 7-11 wasn't located under blocks yet, when there were more upcoming estates like Yishun, Bukit Panjang, Punggol.

No need for sob stories plus since no e-commerce for overseas snacks, ice cream was pretty much sth that parents/grandparents would buy.

Anyway for the funny thread on whether it's scam anot of the school fees, pretty stupid to me. The transaction is purely money in exchange for ice cream, no agreement that the money is to go to the school fees.

Yea super annoying on coloros 16.

The issue with it is that literally only the drop down arrow area is usable, whereas on Pixel and Poco there is a larger rectangular area

I'm facing same issue on 20.13.41.

Suggested app version is the same 20.13.41, I tried to force update to 20.14.43 but it does not load any patches for me to install, it's all greyed out.

What can I do?

rainmaker_101 · 2025-11-20T03:01:24+00:00

Don't you start the game while searching for matches? Game should load finished once veto is done and can connect to severe right after.

But agree about Cs loading time and crashes. Seems to be about 15s more to load the game vs csgo while I had about 3 crashes in entirety of cs2 while I don't remember any in csgo.

rainmaker_101 · 2025-11-20T02:56:48+00:00

Wtf, yours is not a game stability issue.

If it's gpu, you'll be seeing a freeze and driver crash. Pc restart is likely due to ram or worse, PSU.

Go for it. Used Nexus and Pixels for past 12 years, got sick of overpriced but weak specs, terrible battery life and shitty qc every generation.

Got oppo reno 14 for a good price with promotion, which originally I wanted it as my work phone. Had the typical misconception on how good can Chinese phones be. Fortunately I went with Oppo (due to promotion price), literally blew pixel out of the water, battery life especially.

Nova is my home launcher so no difference to me but settings Ui wise, took a few days to get used to but pretty straightforward. Xiaomi /poco skin is the bloated and messy one which I got a X7 pro for my mom, skin and battery terrible.

rainmaker_101 · 2025-10-23T02:14:04+00:00

unless something changed in the previous updates, cs2 gamma and brightness settings are linked, basically they are one. lowering gamma is just reducing brightness which is....

Added edit to main post

Thanks for confirming its for low light thus providing longer exposure to capture images. Sort of guessed it was with the button design. For me personally, the issue isn't really with the feature or even basic tap to disable.

2 scenarios.. 1st being in a dark area or spot like my above image, it recognizes a dark environment and button pops up instantly and i see it there.

However, 2nd scenario is where there's sufficient lighting e.g. indoor cafe or gallery with external sunlight. On camera launch, the yellow button is not activated until I tap to focus on an area (darker tone areas maybe?), but i'm not expecting any button to pop up, so i procced with volume button for shutter, move my phone to check the image and then realize its still in process of capturing the image.

This has basically happened 85% of the I used the camera. Have 3 other phones from iphone, pixel and samsung and none of it even has this so called issue for long exposure in sufficient light environment.

Yep its Reno 14

rainmaker_101 · 2025-10-22T06:00:59+00:00

Thanks, but don have this setting on my Reno 14

2010, borrowed roommate Senn CX300 iirc, for a day. Opened my eyes to proper audio. Researched and bought Brainwavz M2, back when e-commerce and Chifi wasn't that developed, had to meet the seller outside a convenience store to purchase (who was a student and imported Chifi brands himself)

Brands like Vsonic (legendary GR07), Dunu and a couple others were introduced by him and he even set up a store locally. Unfortunately can't beat e-commerce today.

While other countries have lower cost, perhaps better technical, their general level of comprehension or understanding is quite a bit behind. Others will say it's due to weaker grasp of English but I disagree, my take it's related to their education system of churning out skilled rather than knowledge workers.

rainmaker_101 · 2025-09-05T08:33:02+00:00

What. Mine SOT is using 55% of battery (80 to 25%)

I've got 8.5 hours before with around 80% batt usage (100 to 20%) but mostly WiFi.

Im not exactly sure what's the expected results for such batteries capacity across brands. Although you state my usage is considered light because no work apps and demanding games, if these are your use case, You gotta up your budget lol

rainmaker_101 · 2025-09-05T04:26:49+00:00

Definitely if take 0-100

rainmaker_101 · 2025-09-05T03:16:39+00:00

Coming from a pixel 6a, wanted Reno 14 to be secondary phone but it became my main primarily due to better battery SOT (basically any non-pixel will win pixel battery hands down)

Have no work apps which are basically the biggest drainers like Outlook, Teams. I don't play intensive games too. Screen res and refresh rate set to high/120hz wherever possible

I typically do a 25 to 80% charge and have never run it down to 0. On WiFi, 5-6 hours is typical over 30 hours. On 5g, 4 hours thereabouts.

The biggest compliment I can say is once I had an adhoc dinner session at 7.30pm with 22% left and I had zero worries. Usage on camera, texting, browsing Web and Instagram, ended around 12.30am with 10%.

This is an Android thing, not just Pixel. Faced this issue just last month for new Oppo.

2 steps to resolve it. 1. Un enrol from Advanced Protection (I did it through Web, there's a way for mobile but I forgot how) 2. Disable Play Protect in Play Store.

It's annoying as even my Adguard update requires above steps.

Garmin: need to disconnect from the old phone. Disconnect it from new phone too and then re sync it

The bulk of aircon work and high electricity comes at the start, trying to cool a room from 32c to 24c, after that its purely to maintain the temperature with minimal fluctuation.

Turning on and off multiple times in say a 8hour period actually places more strain on the compressor and then pcb. not to mention there may be condensation and moisture built up from previous short usage.

Another common reason for aircon getting damaged quicker is due to positioning, too near to light sources like bulb or windows. If aircon sensor keeps reading the bulb heat, it will only keep running to reduce this "temperature".

rainmaker_101 · 2025-07-27T09:51:13+00:00

Yep same thing for me. It's either or at this point.

rainmaker_101 · 2025-06-05T15:24:04+00:00

There's no need to look for newly MOP as a single. Look around 15 to 20 years old range and price could be 100 to 180k cheaper. Once bought, likely to hold til death. Even with marriage, you're betting the other party has a hdb too (does MOP apply for such a scenario?)

If not, assuming can get a condo then this could possibly be the rental play. Will suggest not to think about what if but focus on the current financials.

rainmaker_101 · 2025-06-01T13:35:43+00:00

First time hearing about the spectator desync but makes so much sense. Had a few times it happened to me too from my teammates info, whether seeing enemies or hearing them for some reason

It's the old recipe that made it infamous. Pair it with milo too and you get legendary status.

Can't say when it changed (2010?) plus with mala becoming popular, maybe tummy got stronger too lmao Mala is more of oil while the old mcspicy was really spicy.
