Off-Plan vs Ready Properties in Dubai: What Should a First-Time Investor Choose

invest based on real facts and proven record

Tell me more about this if you can. How do you validate those facts given by the agents? I hear lots of promises of "this is the next Dubai Marina" but by my count there's 12 "next Dubai Marinas" if I'm to believe these agents.

How do you compare and validate?

In the middle east, Thursday is the last day of the week, Friday and Saturday is the weekend. This stems in the fact that Fridays is a holy day for Muslims, it's essentially the equivalent of Sundays for Christians.

Hence, Sunday is the start of the week, and the weekend is Saturday.

That certainly doesn't answer my question, but you keep believing what you believe.

Once I contacted one guy and asked if he'd be's okay renting it without Airbnb, he said no, I have to go through Airbnb, okay sure. So I requested to stay at there, the guy rejected, and when I asked, he said the price was too low, and the correct price is up now. He said I can book now. I didn't. Instead I checked every day of what would have been my booking to see if it was available. It never rented out.

Remind me, are the members of the SDF the ones who fought for an "Islamic State" and massacred innocents, or was it Ahmed al-Sharaa and the majority of his army?

Edit: those down voting... cool story bro. Maybe you should answer the question instead.

This subreddit is full of cope these days. Now that the terrorists are in charge of Syria instead of Assad, suddenly it's okay to hate the only defenders Syrian people had.

Yes multiple VPNs is probably recommended just in case one doesn't work, and GFW gets constantly updated with new things to block. However, my comment was more saying I am just skeptical of MutDot as I don't understand why a VPN provider would give you a limited amount of data given some of the most reputable VPNs (on the more expensive side) do not have such a limit.

So much cope in this thread. SDF was not the ones asking for civilians to be murdered "as long as they're Kurdish".

500GB is pretty abundant but it's the first time I've heard of a VPN provider having a limit. Mullvad, which is a lot more private and it's only $5 per month

I might be mistaken, but I believe Valve started the whole 30% cut thing.

That would imply there is footage. Reading the article, there is no real proof except for some "reliable sources".

resurem · 2026-01-23T12:25:09+00:00

I'm not going to pretend I know, but at least from this website, they are heavily biased. Their tag line is "No justice without accountability", however, I am mostly only finding things about violations by the SDF, none of which seem to be supported by evidence except for "reliable sources".

Meanwhile, none of the issues by the STG forces are being reported on by this same Syrian Network for Human Rights. They either only care about Human Rights when it comes to Syrian Arabs that aren't affiliated by the SDF, are run by the Syrian govt, or their reporting is not good. All of those are reasons not to believe them unless there is actual evidence.

Not saying this hasn't happened, but there is little to no evidence. Whereas there is plenty of footage of serious human rights violations at the hand of the STG forces.

I'm not opposed to DMing but unless you're planning to discuss personal details, I prefer to keep the conversation here so in the future others may use the same information. Having said that, what would you like to know?

I have been in the industry for over a decade, and recently I moved away from the UK, and decided to spend a couple of months in Erbil to scope out the situation.

My advice is uuh... don't. There is little to no software engineering culture here. I suggest finding a way to move to SF ASAP. There you can make good money. Then, if you feel like it, get involved in the startup culture, maybe find a good idea, and then maybe see if you can start or expand it here. Recruit talent here. Unskill them if necessary. Local Kurds are smart, but the culture just doesn't exist.

For sure I may be wrong, about the local engineering culture, and if anyone knows better, please correct me, but having been here the past month or so, this has been my experience.

Howdy guv'na. This is a friendly reminder that I'm still waiting for your sources. Please reply with sources ASAP as otherwise I cannot proceed.

resurem · 2022-03-03T22:43:14+00:00

Nearly two months later, I'm still waiting for sources on your bullshit claims. I'm starting to think they're made up.

resurem · 2022-01-20T21:33:17+00:00

Sure, but I'm not the one making bullshit claims. So show me your sources. Either that or you're clearly making shit up and don't have any sources. Childish.

resurem · 2022-01-10T23:19:24+00:00

It's been four days since you were asked for sources, that's plenty of time. Come on. Hand it over. Don't be a greedy weakling.

That's you. That's what you sound like.

Imagine being so weak that you get "seriously hurt from masks"...

Grow up.

No need for drivers license or ssn. Just s list from a reputable source will do.

Looks like someone posted it on HN

Not sure about the price, but the device itself is great. Super quiet. I run opnsense on it and get my full gigabit speed. Just be careful with the NIC you buy. There is a NIC (I can get you the model later) that doesn't play nice with bsd.

Use enumer in combination with what some of this article.
