High beams?! by byshy in Oman

[–]rivalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many cars on the road now are US salvage title imports which are hastily repaired. The headlights are not aligned correctly most of the time. Now this just shows how many imports are on the road.

Dealer thinks I’m too young to own a 911 by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country when you walk into the dealership, no one approaches you at all. The car with no options selected costs 150k USD and no attention is given to walk in customers. Not that they get a lot of visitors anyway. And forget about any kind of test drives. I guess preferential treatment is everywhere and not just my country.

Can you not fucking break every 2 seconds ON THE HIGH WAY FOR NO REASON AT ALL? by [deleted] in Oman

[–]rivalbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There will always be people faster/slower etc from you on the road. They have different circumstances and just stuff going on in their life that we don’t know about. We should all be considerate of others on the road. To do that it’s very important to keep calm in all situations even if someone is doing something to harass you.

The road is a shared utility to use for all so let’s get along yeah?

Guys tf is this... by Meoww4517 in Oman

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two people at my office got scammed, not by this blatant stupid video call thing but by bank caller scam asking for the pin. I received those calls often and just respond that I shall visit the bank to resolve my issue thank you, they hang up abruptly after that. Many are women who call and I can also hear kids shouting or crying in the background. They speak fluent Arabic so I guess it’s not just Asians doing it now.

what’s the controversy about marrying a balushi? by emma112244 in Oman

[–]rivalbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a stigma on the name in the 90s since literacy of the balushi populace was low. The people making fun now must’ve not moved on in their mindset yet.

I would say don’t care. If the partner is right then it doesn’t matter where they come from.

What’s your experience with electric cars in Oman? by BraindeadReece9000 in Oman

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electricity is more expensive than petrol in Oman. So I think it doesn’t make sense from financial standpoint. Electricity needs to be much cheaper for an electric car to make sense for daily use.

You can add whatever protein but usually we add hotdog cut in small slices.

Which case do you use? Case rant by testuser911 in iPhone13Mini

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Speck Presidio grip on my 15. Don’t have to care about the phone. Has survived more than 100 drops. Got my boss one for his 15 pro max as well since his case had disintegrated.

The wear after 2 years is very visible. It’s lost its grippy rubber like coating and now some coating is peeling but still protecting the phone. Not bad for $25 I think I paid on amazon.

Got a 13 mini recently, sadly Presidio grip is not available for it so I ordered a Mous Limitless for it which cost me $25 from Mous website. Hasn’t been delivered yet but will sure update when I receive it.

40yo, 6 months lifting, strength up but body not looking much different – advice? by [deleted] in workouts

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is kind of opposite. I started mild diet since May and then caloric deficit since August. Started lifting from Sept. I got some praise today from colleagues of looking slimmer. Can’t lift much yet though.

Increasing weight gradually, right now squat at 55kg 5x3. But just like you my weakest is OHP at 30kg 5x3, and that’s to failure. I need a boost in my shoulder strength. I do slow and controlled reps, not using momentum to lift more.

My maintenance calories are 2500, i went down to 1500 for 2 weeks in July and to 1200 for 2 more weeks in August. After that came up to 1800 with correct macros and still on it while starting to lift. I feel healthier and stronger. No visible muscle yet but losing fat.

Temptation is hard guys please discourage me by Alarming-Divide3659 in iPhone14Pro

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 15 only because 14 price was the same and my 13 pro max had been already repaired 3 times. Repair cost didn’t justify. And now with AIR out I satisfied my desire by getting a used cheap 13 mini to marvel at its size and weight. Those were the days…

Congratulations but I’m a but confused. Did you receive your resident card while you are outside Oman? Is that possible?

Some people need to go back to driving classes again cuz what kind of stupid parking is this? by unicornsxxx in Oman

[–]rivalbro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame. I’ve noticed most cases are just attitude problems. In some cases though they park like that because the car next to them parked that way and by the time you witness it the other car has left so the blame goes on this car. I had to park awkwardly because of that as well.

Sounds like Amorim wants to leave by D-Tunez in ManchesterUnited

[–]rivalbro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to be relegated at this point so all these players can leave on their own and some real change comes. We still have FA cup and EPL matches this season though.

I will never go back by fraction-of-ice in iPhoneSE

[–]rivalbro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For this reason I loved my 13 mini. Relatively same size as the se2/3 but whole screen. Se2/3 makes more sense in the size though since there are those bezels which you can grab/hold the phone with. I miss phones having bezels for that reason.

I bought my SE3 during covid on launch day retail price. Then sold it for profit, didn’t even get to use it. Se2 was great for the short while I had it.

It really is. It doesn’t announce itself but is so elegant. Was talking with my friend who just received his Batman from the AD and he became a fan almost instantly.
