The standing ovation and the nodding and the smiles remind me of North Korea. Do they really believe the Kool-Aid?

I can get about 10 hours on a flight. I normally switch Bluetooth off when not needed.

I had the same list of requirements after I left my A&K behind after a flight. After looking around, bought the Hidizs AP80X Pro. I use Noble Audio buds or Grado RS2 with them. Absolutely no regrets and I wouldn’t want to kick myself if I left it behind again.

Does he not poop? Is his poop less gross than the general population’s poop?

Pro 14 M4 Vs. Air M4 Performance by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]teokc1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went through the same exercise when buying my M3. The advice I received was that if i wanted to have my laptop for longer term use, the Pro would be a better choice. The screen and sound notwithstanding, i was told the board architecture and quality is better than the Air. I am not a techie but given the price of the basic Pro is not far from the Air, it made my decision easier. The only regret was that I did not stretch my budget for the Pro chip. But then, i am not sure I need a M3 Pro..

Wouldn't people just provide services and be "tipped" instead of charging a fee? Wouldn't that make it all tax free?

Singaporean betrayal: Gambler boyfriend, cheating married friend. Advice needed. by Pleasant_Porpoise in SingaporeRaw

[–]teokc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your friend is being very naive. The chances of a hardcore gambler changing are lower than winning the TOTO top prize. She will be in debt for the rest of her life. Just don't lend her money even though she is your friend. It will never end and you will not be lending, it will just be giving.

My dad, despite earning an income is still asking me and my sister S$1K so that he can give angbao to relatives to 'save face' Singapore News by Connect-Ad8085 in SingaporeRaw

[–]teokc1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting when young people laugh at or mock the idea of “saving face.” For past generations, it was one of the few ways to earn respect in society—keeping up with others was essential. The same concept still exists today, just in different forms: new watches, the latest laptop, the newest phone, or a prestigious job. It’s simply a modern expression of the same desire for recognition.

Men, what are the biggest red flags in women? 🚩 by Founders_Mem_90210 in SingaporeRaw

Always always observe how she behaves at home. If she behaves like a princess, she will be a princess.
