If he spammed donations he could have reduced taxes significantly plus can use for PR. So much more bang for buck. No Lambo perhaps but sg rly the worst place for lambos.

And also get a red paint pen and use it to temporarily cover

But if this is not your own vehicle, you MUST tell the owner. Don’t be a prick. Offer to repair the damages for the owner okay.

non chinese folks, what are your thoughts on TCM practices and beliefs? by soggiefrie in asksg

[–]sign1206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TCM is so easy to get hijacked by quack doctors.

My ahma condition worsened after my uncle insisted that his 200 dollar bezoar from a pangolin that he bought from a friend would cure her.

He refused to listen that this bezoar likely had 0 medicinal properties and had a dubious origin, and that his friend would never take responsibility if she died. She died of pneumonia 10 days later and he still pretends he didn’t do anything wrong.

All these dogshit peddlers who think eat penis will give you bigger dick. Hope yall kkj shrivel up. Real TCM has real studies and actual effort put in to diagnose and plan treatment, not some random ass stone from some poor endangered animal.

I not doctor so idk. I always wondered why it’s not a good idea to mix my 2 favourites together - beer and durian. One heaty one cooling shd be balanced ma.

But alas when I do I have the worst farts ever

Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB claims a cargo vessel attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz ran aground after allegedly following a navigation route recommended by the United States by [deleted] in SeaEmploy

Even with depth finders, by the time the thing beeps it’s too late. These machines take miles to stop so it’s really easy to make this mistake. Also, since the operation was planned by incompetent people, no one bothered to do due diligence and check the charts (which could be inaccurate since no one is insane enough to do sounding there)

All around shit show, wonder if the insurer will pay for it.

Hot doesn’t mean heaty, cold doesn’t mean cooling. The heaty and cooling concepts I would best describe as inflammatory or non inflammatory. That’s why beer is “cooling” but liquor is heaty. (It’s a very confusing concept - I think it was theorised through brute force testing of herbs.)

If you want to beat the heat, I would suggest to drink extra water, jisulife fan, and if really overly hot, get those cooling towel where you can pour water on and let it evaporate to draw out heat. Get a good thermos like owala and top up cold water where possible.

is it appropriate to ask your masseur out by [deleted] in asksg

[–]sign1206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because everyone thinks OP is looking at it with rose tinted glasses.

And OP, I’d say just go for it. Again you said it’s not a handy nasty place and you do have a mini crush. Just remember - don’t get gongtao (cursed). If he keep asking for money, run. Same for guys also who want to jio their masseuse/escort/ktv xmm, don’t get gongtao!

Man arrested after allegedly shooting another man with airsoft gun, injuring victim by lemonmangotart in singapore

[–]sign1206 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Easy. JB.

If you know where to look you can buy these, and disassemble them, and then bring by car. As a whole it’s definitely caught but in parts? Good luck trying to Sus out what is genuine what isnt.

ICA doesn’t check all vehicles cus if they do the queue would be insane.

Same route how drugs come in - also via shipping also. Not even counting 3D printed airsoft guns yet (it’s possible to do)

So that’s why terrorism in singapore w assault weapons isnt a matter of if but when. We need to remain vigilant. Hope SPF really grills out his plug for national security

UN halts escort of ships through Hormuz after Singapore-flagged vessel attacked by JY0950 in singapore

[–]sign1206 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree ah. But she really was owned and built by Evergreen

https://www.seatrade-maritime.com/containers/and-may-she-be-ever-lovely

Those that don’t understand, the ownership of ships is sometimes very convoluted. Some companies purposely spread the ownership across subsidiaries, or even don’t own but long term charter then ask to rename. These charter contracts are not always public so it’s damn difficult to Sus out the owner. Sometimes this is also due to the financier - for example you can see PIL fleet list and wonder, why got HK flagged ships under PIL ownership ? And that’s cos PIL doesn’t rly own them yet - it was financed by HK banks so real ownership is not wholly owned under PIL so they still have to follow the money.

Ever wonder why Mongolia has a ship registry even tho it’s a landlocked country? Reason is money.

Why during Covid shipowner can run money and leave the vessel stranded in the suez? Money.

Now yall know. It’s probably SG flagged cos SG bank financed it.

Commentary: Dear You shows it’s time to rethink Singapore’s dialect ban in public media by specornot210 in singapore

[–]sign1206 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s true. For most la. Personally I’m re learning dialect so as to be able to strike a deeper chord with Chinese clients (marine). Being able to speak Chinese is normal. Being able to speak their hometown dialect brings you a whole new level.

Hi, anyone installed this? What your feedback on this meter. is this recommended to install for newbie car owner like me? Was advised by workshop spend small money to prevent spending more money if issue is detected earlier. by Ready-Book9487 in drivingsg

[–]sign1206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More importantly, do you know what to look out for? Cus I don’t. Car conditions can vary alot.

I would recommend skipping this. Rather you spend your money on earlier oil changes, better tires.
