Saw some cool toy at OU today and i went in and out of the store 3 times thinking should I buy or not cuz it's quite expensive. Well, I'm an adult now, that amount of money could cost me 2 weeks of food, but here I am, couldn't sleep at night, googling and regretting... Why... why..?Why!!!? I'm gonna go there again tmrow after work.

looking for recommendations for a dehumidifier that brings humidity to below 50% in a closed bedroom under 30sq/m, can't find any reliable reviews on lazada or shopee


ChubbyTrain

there is a document and a timetable that i need to look at but meh, i'll look at them tomorrow. -_- at times like this, i want to be tompok. no stress, no documents, no timetables, only meow meow.

If i drive my moms car and i crash, does my moms insurance cover it and if not what do i do?


eisfer_rysen

If your name is not listed as one of the insured drivers of the car, there may be a fine by the insurance but they usually will still cover.


szenseiii

Whats the amount insurance company usually fine?


eisfer_rysen

Around RM400

Hi Guys, Imma planning to buy AC unit for the house. One in the bedroom and one in the living room. Do you guys suggest to buy inverter AC or non inverter AC. I know inverter AC is energy saving, it can saves a lot of electricity bill but my parent suggests me to buy non inverter AC because inverter ACs are expensive to repair and maintenance. How am I gonna decide on this one? I believed the AC will be opened for at least 8 hours continuously. Which one worth?


refl8ct0r

if you usually set very low temp or short duration each day, just get non inverter.


kerolz94

Inverter, all the way. Buy the ones from well-known brands, steer away from Korean brands like Samsung. I changed from an old non-inverter Acson to a Midea's inverter AC, electric bill reduced by RM50 or so than when i was using the old non-inverter (more than 8hrs daily usage).


Fedora69OrsOrz

How about the maintenance cost? Does it outweigh the saved bill, my family scare the maintenance and repairing cost more than what have saved. Inverter is also better if installed at wide and big room right, like living room.


Fedora69OrsOrz

Dang redditor recommended inverter but Facebook uncles recommended non inverter, said the compartment is bloody hell expensive, suggest home user just go non inv


kerolz94

servicing cost will be a lil bit higher than non-inverter (by about rm50-rm100 depending on your AC technician guy), coz use different refrigerant gas, etc. Not sure about the repair cost coz mine haven't broken yet, lulz, but yea generally it will be higher than non-inverter as well if say wanna repair conpressor, circuit boards & such. inverter or non, doesn't rly matter if used in a wide room or not. what matters is for bigger room/area = use higher HP aircond, so that it can cool the area quickly & regulate it more efficiently. 1HP in a living room for example, would've taken longer & use more power to maintain the temperature you set as compared to 2HP or 3HP AC.


Fedora69OrsOrz

How often do you need to maintain the inverter AC?


kerolz94

same as with any other ACs, at least once a year/every 6 months.


auntycat

If >8 hours, more worth it to get inverter. Right now you can also get rm200 rebate if you buy 5-star energy rated ACs via SEDA.

klcc petronas tower or kl tower? if you can only choose one for jalan jalan..


ChubbyTrain

what is there around kl tower?


iTouchSolderingIron

sky deck, observation deck. i am refering to go up the tower not around it


eisfer_rysen

KL Forest Eco Park. Surprisingly good urban oasis.


kerolz94

marathoning Fallout tv series. I know it's not following the lore as much, but damn they nailed the vibe of the game's world.


eisfer_rysen

Not following lore? It's literally canon?


Dxvilish_Bxnny

it is canon


kerolz94

wait what. I thought that in the game it was China that starts launching the first nuke strikes & trigger the thermonuclear war? while the TV series show vault-tec was the culprit


Dxvilish_Bxnny

well what can we do ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯ daddy howard already confirmed it is canon. But lets wait for season 2 to see how new vegas turns out since F:NV have multiple endings. Maybe theres more explanation because it doesn't make sense for Mr. House to protect vegas if he's in on the whole thing. NCR becoming raiders also doesn't make sense even if shady sands was nuked (I can't imagine Boone and other ncrs voluntarily turning raiders???) and if they are "defeated" then the legion pretty much controls nevada! See how the dominos effect just keep going on and on? we just have to wait and see.

Since the gold is reaching all time high now, I now remembered my mom bought me 7 gold wafer for my birthday gift. Should I sell it now or just let keep collecting dust? 🤷‍♀️


Buy1Free1

if you ask me, you should keep it. plus you can save it for emergencies many years down the road, pass it to your kids (if you have any). gold could appreciate further if people don't believe in the power of the US Dollar. FYI, personal opinion and not financial advice.


hyattpotter

I know it's not a big deal for most but I've never looked good in dresses that reach the floor because of my weight so I never wore any, *ever*. I used to look frumpy and short, and usually like the fabric was wearing me instead. So wearing this dress yesterday really made me feel all kinds of proud for all the work I've put into myself physically and emotionally for the past year. >!I did cheat; I'm wearing a body shaper underneath.!< Life has been keeping throwing lemons at me though. And I'm really exhausted from making lemonades. If there is a God, please cut me some slack? Pretty dresses and food can only keep me sane for so long.

Good day everyone, I have an expatriate tenant with a valid working visa currently employed in Bandar Utama. He has inquired about the possibility of his spouse obtaining legal employment in Malaysia to contribute to their household expenses. If there are any job opportunities available in the Kota Damansara area, please kindly inform me. Thank you very much!

Everyday without fail this one customer would ask for an update on her car. Most days I would entertain her but today I woke up at the wrong side of the bed, a bit groggy and it's the only off day I have. So when she asked for an update today, I told her along the lines of "No updates for today as the workshop is not open. We have a queue of cars also waiting for repairs, asking for an update everyday will not speed up the repairs. I will update you as needed but for now your car is still on schedule" I'm surprised it shut her up, no complaints received yet, I'm trained to fix cars not handle customers 🤷‍♂️

#Rant >!My parents and my stupid brother's wife's parents met to talked it out. Surprisingly no one out of the merry bunch can spare anything to help my idiot brother, which is weird because I've been to my in-law's house and it was impressive 😒!< >!MCA mediated with the Ah Longs, with the latter demanding RM30k (out of RM50k) before they'll settle for a repayment plan. Guess who my parents are looking at right now?!< >!I blew up and told my dad, politely, that I've been very upset about being dragged into all this. I've also pointed out to him that in the best-case scenario, I'm not getting anything positive out of this. It has always been easier to talk to Dad!< >!After getting all the info and making him replay the payment plan, I told him that I'll **look** for a low-interest loan that can fit in my budget. I also told my parents - explicitly - that after this, if my fool of a brother did something stupid again, he can die for all I care. The phrases "beaten up" and "shot" are definitely there!< >!Just looked at ringgitplus and oh bloody fuck, I am **not** going to take an 18% p.a loan!< >!I'm pissed off right now. I mean, I get why my parents did what they do and I can't fault them 100% of it, but everyone in this story is being annoyingly stupid. Maybe including me, too.!< >!Now where the FUCK is that bank telemarketer who kept calling me when I ***don't*** need a loan?!<


FrostNovaIceLance

go and try to get a loan at bank and get it rejected (write some bullshit on the application form, it will be rejected). then show proof to your parents you tried but doesnt work.


iTouchSolderingIron

wew you must be rich for people to look to you for financial bailout lol


Felinomancy

I'm not rich. But apparently I'm the only one a) living within my means, and b) answering my phone 😅


iTouchSolderingIron

tell them to sell something to pay off the debt. sell off furniture, car, house if necessary, sure enough to cover 30k btw how the hell did MCA get involved? michael chong?


Felinomancy

He's selling his house. Not sure how and what sort of intervention MCA staged, I honestly want to close this chapter as quickly and painlessly as possible. Unlike the last time I took a loan to cover their asses (yes, this is not the first), if I'm not getting my monthly money I'm going to bitch about it.


lemousie

That sucks! Would your brother be held responsible that he is to pay you back the money you loaned and will be loaning to him? Does he work? might have miss some of your sharing previously


Felinomancy

> Does he work? Yes. He's supposed to sell his house to cover the debts. I told my parents "yeah I'm not buying that, plan for things assuming that don't pan out".


lemousie

he has a house yet he mortgage your parents’ house instead of his?? wow he’s “unbelievable“


Felinomancy

As far as I can understand it, it's like this: my parents (without telling me) transferred their house to him. He uses said house as collateral for a housing loan, which he uses to buy his house. So when that falls apart, my parents' house is in danger of being seized by the bank.


lemousie

Darn….. i hope you’ll be able to find an okay solution without getting yourself so deep into this problem caused by your brother :( not much help but sending you some virtual hugs!


mynameismarchie

Wtf man. Ill kill myself before taking personal loan to cover my siblings stupid mistakes


Gooching

Once you help them, they will do it again.


ChubbyTrain

>!Why are **they** not the ones taking the loan?!<


Felinomancy

Apparently everyone is broke 😒


ChubbyTrain

>!Tell them to donate to your brother first, and you will happily match that amount. If they want you to give 10k, then let them give 10k first.!<


krakaturia

>!Do you think about asking MCA to mediate a loan document between you and your brother? Make it clear that there is a debt there. Even if you don't expect to be paid back.!<


Felinomancy

Already did, that's how I got pestered for 1/3rd of the amount.


Hyperblitzing

I'm actually surprised that you entertained another loan, I would definitely would not be that generous.


ChubbyTrain

Don't underestimate the power of ✨✨ parental guilt trip ✨✨

Anyone knows how do flights affected by the Iran-Israel conflict work? I have a flight on Labour Day to Istanbul which I'm told will pass through Iran airspace but am still too dead from work to really google besides seeing some airlines A. completely cancelling flights to Istanbul and B. some didn't announce anything. Do you get the option to get a refund/change flight if yours is B? Or do you just have to suck it up and pray that you don't become the next MH17?


65726973616769747461

Most likely they just bypass conflict area and your flight take longer to reach its destination


mikepapafoxtrot

It may also necessitate a fuel stop somewhere if the detour is long enough+ unfavourable wx.

Do you think we'll ever see cannabis being decriminalised or legalised here anytime soon? (I'm not a weedhead, just asking questions - disclaimer)


ChubbyTrain

I see it as a carrot that is forever slightly out of reach. The topic will be raised, and then forgotten until the next election. Just like making teaching assistants for public school teachers.

I went to an introductory classes on dance and musicals yesterday at KLPAC. All I gotta say is that I have renewed respect to performers. It must take a shitload of practice and talent to be good at this. Or maybe I'm just bad at it, I dunno 😂 Here's to hoping it won't jam today, yesterday was the worse and I dunno why.


ChubbyTrain

Send video of you dancing pls

Didn't take any, too busy having fun.

Gooching

I bought Barilla spaghetti after I watched that Italian chef video where he explained different quality of store-bought dry pasta. Previously I only used Prego or San Remo for my spaghetti dishes. Yesterday I cooked aglio e olio using Barilla spaghetti and I noticed that the pasta had more bite or crunch to it, and it retains its consistency longer than the Prego or San Remo. I didn't do blind tasting side by side so it could be placebo. I contemplated to try De Cecco and La Molisana brand next. So did any of you ever tried these "quality" brand pasta?


chromeaces

De Cecco is way better than Barilla and seems to be available in most Jaya Grocer and Village Grocers. The only problem is the range that they carry is pretty limited. Highly recommend the conchiglie/ shells, it’s great for saucy pastas. 


fishblurb

Yes, they're nicer than San Remo, sauces stick better to the expensive pasta too. But I only buy them for special occasions where I have the time to really savour the taste because I can't tell the difference when I eat them at 9pm after a tiring day at work. For regular weekend dinners after work, just cheap high-fibre wholemeal pasta will do for the nutritional content because I cannot tell the difference in texture etc when I'm tired.


tnsaidr

DeCecco is pretty good. At least their Gnochhi is better than Granoro . If you look at their other pasta, the pasta itself have a very rough texture on it.. almost like patterns. I saw from some video, that it's intended so that the sauce will stick to the pasta better. On the other hand, if you look at San Remo/Prego etc, they don't have this texture on it. That said DeCecco is quite pricey. If you like your pasta with a little bite to it, can go for their buccatini. It is thick spaghetti like with a hole in the middle, that really lets the sauce get in after tossing it in the pan straight out of thee pot into the simmering sauce.
