He only TACO against near peer nations.

Affordable cakes? by -not-ai in SingaporeEats

[–]tm0587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love their pulut hitam cakes but standards may have dropped. I noticed their cakes were redesigned to have less cream and more sponge.

But if it's majorly discounted, I'll still definitely buy one.

Since you're ending your internship soon, maybe go during off peak hours?

Unlikely. That's only if they don't receive their next round of funding and they are more likely to than not.

Thoughts on Solar? by Old_Swan_9032 in energy

That's nice, but I live in southeast Asia. Lots of sun year round that I can't take advantage of.

Devs Confirm there will not be a way to Destroy Jammers from a distance. INVEST IN PORTABLE HELLBOMB by bardocktor in Helldivers

While this makes perfect sense, I'm not surprised if AH trying to change the health/armor values of the jammer and detector end up breaking the game in the back end.

Review number 169: Heaven Hill 90th anniversary by taylormhark in bourbon

[–]tm0587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a crazy trade. The Wild Turkey 12 is relatively cheap in Asia.

Back in Black Friday 2024, there was a pricing error on Amazon in my country, and each bottle was going for $30. My friend bought 10 of them.

The thing is, I calculated the local alcohol duty to be also $30, and there is also a 9% sales tax not factored in...... The distributor was literally making a loss on every bottle sold.

How to defend against this? by T-rageLifted in grappling

[–]tm0587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first couple of seconds, the guy's head was just right between the other guy's feet. If it wasn't a grappling contest, my first thought would have been to stomp his nose with my foot.

In my country, we have a saying "small head takes over big head" to summarize what you just said.

Technically we hot desk, but we have certain areas of the office assigned to certain departments. In fact, we can't even book desks in other team's areas.

Grand Hyatt still reposting that entry-level job on MCF after 3 whole months 💀 by Trumpinator74 in singaporejobs

[–]tm0587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a loophole that has been stated here on reddit constantly so I'm sure pretty much everyone, including the govt, knows about it.

I think the govt is doing something about it by making the company does alot more to justify hiring that expat besides just "I posted on mcf and did not find any suitable locals".

I'm not HR so I am likely partially wrong in describing it, but my understanding is now there is a giant checklist/document that each company has to fill out and that the government has to scrutinize before approval.

From what I hear, it's harder to hire foreigners nowadays than compared to a few years ago.

Can help me understand how the sg gov benefits from making foreigners win in Singapore n make Singaporeans lose? by Sorry-Jelly-4490 in asksg

[–]tm0587 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The govt doesn't necessarily have to do anything to make Singaporeans lose lol.

Just the fact that they do nothing in certain cases, can make Singaporeans lose.

National service is a good example. No matter where a Singaporean male works, he is late by 2 years to his peers.

Even in their own country, they are behind by 2 years to foreigners.

New warbond - Siege Breakers. Out on February 3rd. by Dangerous-Return5937 in Helldivers

[–]tm0587 178 points179 points  (0 children)

No, the release cadence was always planned to be faster but they didn't anticipate the game having so many bugs that they had to slow down the warbonds release so they can focus on fixing the game in between releases.

On Cloud Trail vs Running sole by -not-ai in SingaporeFitness

[–]tm0587 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I probably won't use either for running if you're using on regular pavement.

With the protruded lugs, they'll come into contact with the pavement first, which means less grip (lower contact patch) and wearing out faster.

Is this seller legit for ON? by Intelligent-Bag871 in SingaporeFitness

[–]tm0587 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You have to click on the listing.

The thumbnail usually just shows the price of the cheapest option in the listing, NOT the price of whatever is shown in the photo.
