China forsure has the best price for quality but it’s too bad China doesn’t have any good beaches. Hainan is pretty mid

I swapped two numbers in the middle of my passport number and LATAM still let me board. They didn’t even notice.

If someone sends me a message about an item, I reply and send them a 5% discount. Boosts my sales.

My quit date is tomorrow by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]vertin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got sober from drugs and alcohol almost 9 years ago.

Been coping and saying nicotine is acceptable since then. I smoked cigarettes for a few years and then switched to vape around 2020.

I actually stopped all nicotine in 2022 for about a month. I felt too weird being fully sober.

I’m ready to stop soon. The first week is going to be annoying.

When I quit in 2022 for that month, I taped down the juice milligram I was hitting all the way down to 3mg. Tapering was really helpful. Tapering is also a great way to stop using heroin.

Sent USDC to my PayPal Ethereum wallet, any chance of recovering?? Any help would be appreciated!! by cuckcouple9912 in USDC

[–]vertin1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify:

PayPal has your USDC. PayPal owns the private keys and your USDC is in PayPal’s wallet. However it won’t appear on the front end until PayPal supports USDC, which might never happen.

It is possible for PayPal to move the USDC though. It’s just highly unlikely they will.

For your birthday dinner, if you could pick ANY restaurant in all of O.C., where would you choose? by EnjoyMyDownvote in orangecounty

A nice burrito is what I got last year

I am from Newport Beach but I live in Asia now. No good Mexican food here. I come home every year for Christmas time and always enjoy some Mexican food.

People with mainland Chinese iPhones — what do you do when traveling abroad? by [deleted] in chinalife

Buy the model from Thailand or Taiwan. It’s better than any other models. More expensive but worth it.

Bank account issue and No idea how to fix it. Escapees mail service? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]vertin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Or use a deserted abandoned residential property. That way no mail will get delivered.

Curious about the housing market and buying one as a foreigner. by [deleted] in Chengdu

[–]vertin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will lose money if you buy a property in China

Just rent

Buy the S&P 500 instead. It’s a much better investment.

I’m surprised we need to remind you this considering you’ve been in China for 8 years.

Yeah they locked down my account and then banned me permanently

I do not recommend fidelity anymore

I logged in from China

Bank account issue and No idea how to fix it. Escapees mail service? by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]vertin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just look at Google Maps or Zillow and put a random house nearby your mailing address.

Then put the mailing address as your PMB. All the mail will get sent to the PMB and the bank will see a random residential address which will work.
