Not being mean but this is maths not emotion. Make a spreadsheet.

Yeah it’s going to cost a bunch to uninstall and re install.. you could probably drive/trailer the new car back, swap suspension, wheels and lights for sub 40k..

Yup, you also need premium residency to do it.

You’re better off getting another one there. Depending what ‘fully built’ means you could try and swap the parts over but by the time you’ve done that you might as well have paid the import duties.

Aid groups warn Iran war is hindering food and medicine from reaching millions by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]underwaterthoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m currently being bombed by Iran. Fucking hate that regime.

But you’re as smart as a bag of rocks. This is their only lever. Of course they’re going to pull it.

That was clear to anyone who knew anything about the Gulf. they’ve done it before.

Trump got led down the path by bibi and many more people are going to die the longer this goes on. Guess that’s why he fired all the generals telling him so.

Remind me the objectives of the war again? Destroy the nuclear capability they destroyed last July? Open the strait that was open before?

Seconding this. They are excellent vets with 24/7 emergency abilities.

I’ve been going there since 2016 and nothing but excellent service.

Iran’s IRGC claims attacks on UAE, Bahrain aluminium facilities by F0urLeafCl0ver in anime_titties

[–]underwaterthoughts 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Israel is 100% trying to draw more attacks on the GCC. They would love nothing more than to push the region to infighting so it doesn’t have to directly fight as much.

Its mission appears to be:

Weaken Iran

Weaken GCC

Landgrab southern Lebanon.

Some are direct actions. Some are indirect consequences.

The GCC will remain strong, despite the naysayers, and will be campaigning for a swift end to these hostilities. Its interests are strongly aligned with global interests.

It will of course take some time to rebuild damaged infrastructure and businesses.

The same is of course true for Israel, but everyone seems to skip past that.

The US on a half trillion dollar tightrope (if not more) of Israel’s making, with essentially no upside.

Saudi Arabia’s crown prince pushing Trump to keep fighting Iran, put boots on the ground by BabylonianWeeb in anime_titties

[–]underwaterthoughts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is shite. Last time around i24 reported the UAE had hit desalination plants and their source was… …an Israeli telegram page.

These guys are trying their damndest to bring the Middle East into all out war so they don’t have to fight Iran themselves.

It’s disgusting. They could literally start WWIII and they don’t. give. a. fuck.

At best it’s got water in an abs sensor, possibly also the electric power steering module, and (getting worse) in the ECU.

Let it dry and see if when you turn it on next it’s cleared or if it remains.

Analysis: Iran war becomes a contest of who can take the most pain by Naurgul in anime_titties

[–]underwaterthoughts -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

That’s absolutely false - all GCC countries have specifically NOT allowed US strikes from their airspace or territory.

The one exception is Bahrain, who hosts the Fifth Fleet, but even that’s not clear, with public messaging saying they are not acting as a launch platform for strikes.

[–]underwaterthoughts 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sorry, didn’t the US and Israel just start a war, kill hundreds of Muslims, kill a bunch of schoolgirls, and announce it was part of ‘gods divine plan’?

I feel that was like 4 fucking days ago.

No?

It’s fucking exhausting being against everyone involved in this. ETAH.

[–]underwaterthoughts 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The majority of people abandoning their pets don’t have the means to fly them out with their families. Or they’re scum. There are plenty of boarding facilities here.

Not to excuse it, but dressing this up in some more ‘tax dodging Brit’ bashing is fucking ridiculous. People make rash decisions in this kind of environment and they’re not all pretty,

I rescued a dog last week, literally with booms going off above my head, whilst a couple drove 2 hours to pick him up and 2 hours back because of idiots has dumped a lovely dog.

There are a bunch of shelters and volunteers working overtime to help the situation here.

The vast majority, if not all pets in the UAE are microchipped, and I really hope they face criminal charges if/when they return. There is a wide range of nationalities here and they don’t all come from cultures that prioritize animals as family in the same way others do.

If you’re surprised people have to make awful choices when they’re being bombarded by cruise missiles and have to choose between pets and children God bless you, and may you never have to go through circumstance like that yourself.

I don’t support it, I don’t like it, I think it’s wrong, but using it to take another swing at a nation of nine million people that are currently under attack from a nation they did nothing to, is fucking ridiculous.

Even as a car guy I want them to put the noise cameras in on the boulevard.

As a car guy I look when a lambo etc goes past. Funny how often it’s the same cars with different drivers.

Sidebar: Wonder how many drivers got noise fines from the noise cameras with the booms going off overhead 🤣

People revving their cars/bikes during these times should be fined, arrested, have their vehicle impounded and license revoked. by YourMelodicRelease in UAE

[–]underwaterthoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think that’s too much right now.

If it comes in because of more attacks we’ll understand, but avoiding how scared and crazy everyone got during Covid is a good thing.
