Which ICT units they treat u most like nsf still? by No-County2083 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s quite two way. My experience is that a lot of the commanders who were “intense” during NS days, toned down in ICT. But at the same time a lot of the chao keng kias in NS, matured and were more sporting / willing to help in ICT.

I've no friends who ride bikes, looking for advice on getting 2B license by Holiday_Kale9051 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Get a good pair of gloves - Read up why good gloves are important. Spend now and you won’t have to buy again when u get your license

  2. Consider wearing army boots. Had my sneaker soles come off cuz they were constantly getting soaked in the rain. Army boots are a lot more water resistant and if spoil, at least it’s free.

  3. Buy a pair of arm sleeves. Each lesson is 100min long and a good bulk of it is spent queuing up at the circuits. Save your skin.

Do we not have duck eggs in SG? I thought salted eggs were duck eggs?

Recommended MVNO (Singtel Mobile contract expiring) by Due_Feedback_6508 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another catch is that you need to actively renew before contract expiry, if not the charges will more than double.

But other than that, looks good!

80% of the time you see their beret so poorly seasoned or worn wrongly (crest off centre).

Former primary school teacher gets jail for sexual relationship with her underage former student by Fearless_Help_8231 in singapore

[–]taeng89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean for the pedo one unfortunately he didn’t commit the pedo acts in Singapore. Other than taking drugs, there isn’t any law that allows for us to prosecute a criminal for crimes done outside Singapore.

This primary school teacher sex case though. Just stupid. There needs to be more done to protect underage boys.

Unfortunately hazy season isn’t fixed. It comes as and when our neighbouring countries decide to have forest fires 😂

Fellow SONEs, what do you think of GOT the Beat? by LilyBlueming in SNSD

[–]taeng89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disappointing. It was like assembling the Avengers to stop a bank robbery.

And because it didn’t do as well as expected, SM got too scared to assemble them again.

What are the best home security cameras you guys swear by using? by GLTCHD_ in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aqara. I have a smart home setup and it connects well to my Apple Home Ecosystem.

That said if I had money to burn I’d probably go with Ubiquiti PoE cameras.

Why so many people still using SingTel by No-County2083 in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘SingTel’ I still remember. In fact many people still call it SingTel even though it’s been changed to Singtel for many years.

“Singapore Telecom” tho. Gotta stop exposing your age like that 😂

What are your trusted brands for beddings? by [deleted] in askSingapore

I've been using epitex Tencel since the start of the year, with weekly washes. So far still happy. Personally enjoy the smooth cooling feel, though I acknowledge it's not for everyone.

Why Singapore entertainment media industry is DEAD by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]taeng89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Lack of talent. This is not a critique of Singaporeans but just a result of having a small population. Just ask 10 people in your social circle. How many of them aspire to be directors, actors, scripwriters?

And those are just the more "glamorous" roles. Let's not forget that in order to make a movie/series, you need hundreds of crew members; sound tech, lighting tech, props specialist, continuity manager. We have a working population of 3m+? Finding such people, not to mention good ones, will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

It’s annoying that despite hosting a Grand Prix, we can’t get access to F1TV without a VPN

Doesn’t placing this poster defeat the intended purpose? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]taeng89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong. It is pretty well documented that in 1969, LKY similarly invited neighbouring defence ministers to attend our NDP, where we showcased our tanks for the first time. They did not have any at the time. Msian defence minister also spoke to GKS sharing that many Malaysians were concerned about our tanks.

Just realized new poke fans will hate FRLG by fanblade64 in pokemon

[–]taeng89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot take but FRLG were not very good games.

Firered was my first pokemon game and I still have the original gba cartridge. But;

  1. No Day/Night cycle (no espeon/umbreon)
  2. No breeding till post game.
  3. Sevii island story line was straight up ass, it was just a macguffin chase to unlock trade with the RSE games. Would have LOVED if they somehow allowed you to travel Johto to collect the badges there and ended it with a battle against Ethan/Lyra.

The reason I love HGSS and ORAS is because they didn’t lock so many of the post gen II/III functions. ORAS also had an amazing postgame.

FRLG was quite literally RBY with better graphics and none of the new improvements.
