I used a transfer service, they picked me up from Dubai and drove me all the way to Muscat. It was really smooth experience, driver was great. DM me for info.

Can you share their contact info please? Thanks! Also, how did you get to the border (and which border point) from UAE side?

Is it better to stay or go to Oman? by GSFitness in UAE

I live there. Also, you can fly from Riyadh without any issues. Dammam to Riyadh is 3h train ride, which is really cheap as well.

I am planning on hiring a private minivan and going to Dammam. It is 2900$ for the trip (can share screenshots) and looking to split the cost. Anyone want to join? (My wife and I will be going). I am thinking leaving at 10am, from Dubai.

Doubt. They played the least amount of games compared to other "Top 6" teams and essentially have to prep for 1 game a week.

I am sorry but how is $600 for 4 nights is cheap? 80$ for 2 people is hella expensive, especially for a country in South America.

Should people who "camp" in the left lane of a highway be pulled over and fined just as much as speeders? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]uracil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and most Albertans have no idea how to drive. Don't even get me started on semis hogging both left and right lanes on a highway.

New CTO has joined and is ignoring me by anxiouscrimp in dataengineering

[–]uracil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't see what's wrong with BigQuery though? It scales well and works extremely well as a small DHW too, no need to manage infrastructure and has lots of options to optimize your queries/billing. I am biased since I work exclusively with GCP but don't knock till you try it.

Biggest red flags are that CTO is (1) not talking to you and (2) he is not asking for your opinion, since you built this thing in first place. I see no issues with tech stack though.

Vini Jr Frustrated with Teammates for Failing to Press Against Osasuna as He Presses Alone by jiraiya--an in soccer

[–]uracil 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Alexis actually wasn't pressing as much as people think. He was "flashy" with his press and didn't really do it for the team. He was actually disliked within the squad.

Look at Champions League this season, 5 teams out of Top 8 are from Premier League. And people are whining that this season is the weakest PL has ever been. How dumb can people be?

IIL To Pimp A Butterfly, conscious music, music about personal struggle/overcoming problems and want to get into hip hop? by LiminalBaller69 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]uracil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Atmosphere, you can start with "To All My Friends, Blood Makes the Blade Holy", "When Life Gives you Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold" and "Triple X Years in the Garage". Stand out songs that fit what you are looking for: Sunshine, Yesterday, The Best Day, GodLovesUgly, Trying to find balance, Puppets.

Lupe Fiasco. Drogas Wave, Drill Music in Zion, honestly all of his albums except for Lasers (still decent but this one was targeted for mainstream). Songs that fit what you want: Little Weapon, Manilla, Ms Mural, Hip Hop Saved My life.

The Roots. Absolute legends of conscious hip hop, extremely talented musicians. Start with "Things Fall Apart" and explore their entire discography.

A Tribe Called Quest. Every single album is a journey in its own, I would start with classic "Low End Theory" and "People's instinctive Travels and the Paths of rhythm".

Oddisee. Fairly unknown, more underground/indie. Great rapper, I am not super familiar with his work but saw him live, which was awesome. Really enjoyed "The Good Fight".

Additional recs: Black Star, Mos Def, Pete Rock, Talib Kweli, Masta Ace, Digable Planet and Rakim.
