    We need to buy flight tickets to europe, the million-dollar question

    I booked my flight to Europe early april, one week before departure. At the time of booking Finnair was €3.300 for a return flight to SUB, more than 4 x what I paid last year. Only a few ME airlines were in the €800 - €1.200 range (all with SUB - JAK PP Garuda). So why not. My Emirates flight...

    Invest in Knowledge and Self-Improvement

    That reminds me of this jenius: "And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it [Covid] out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? "So it'd be interesting to check that."

    Michael vs Michael. 🎯 What a great game.

    For those who pictured De Lange as a random, unkempt, overweight middle-aged woman loading bags of Haribo into her shopping cart at Lidl, she is a professor of sociology of law and migration law, so she knows what she is talking about.

    How do you guys invest?

    I agree with you, nowadays there are many ways to invest in gold that are very likely to be less risky, easier, cost less and could possibly be more profitable. However, as a muslim, I am somewhat restricted in how to trade this commodity. Under islamic law, gold is a ribawi item, meaning it is...

    Some Problems of Our World

    It doesn't matter how big the 'Wajib Video Unboxing' sticker is; ultimately, a seller cannot enforce anything because it is someone at Shopee who decides whether you get your money back. And making an unboxing video of your order is not (always) a requirement to resolve a dispute. Unfortunately...

    Expectations re the Middle East.

    Elpiji 3kg is becoming a bit langkah here in East Java. Bensin still plenty available and the antrian is not too bad. I just make sure to fill the tangki up again before it's half empty. My guts tell me this availability could change overnight.

    Some Problems of Our World

    They often do this. They don't want to take the blame for their mistakes in fear of getting the sack. Annoying nevertheless. Agree with Chris, Shopee decides if you get a refund and not the seller and Shopee does not require an unboxing video.

    Some Problems of Our World

    Three weeks is much too long to wait for your order to arrive, very frustrating. But to be fair, this is not Tokopedia's fault. 3 weeks is not a regular 'holiday late delivery'. At this stage your order is probably lost in Limbo and the courier is to blame for that. On the other hand, Tokopedia...

    McNamara's Mea culpa.

    Yes, I've seen a couple of documentaries about it. It is a fascinating story. The fact that the idea persists that this could have been an accident is remarkable, to say the least. The incident happened on a clear day, USS Liberty was flying a large American flag and its hull number was clearly...

    McNamara's Mea culpa.

    Any mention of why Robert McNamara failed to properly investigate the USS Liberty incident, an Israeli attack on a US ship (34 american crew members were killed and 171 wounded)?

    How do you guys invest?

    Yes, physical gold, the gold bars, are sometimes difficult to obtain. A month or three ago, the smaller Antam bars of 20g or less were completely unavailable here in East Java. The premium you pay for Antam bars has been high for a long time. This morning I checked with us, and it was Rp640,000...

    Garden visitors

    A picture from a couple of years ago. This pit viper was hiding on our garden bench. My wife found it when she wanted to rearrange the pillows. A beautiful animal, the bright green color and its triangular head. Pretty aggressive animal. We've had one inside too with a tail as red as a ripe...

    Garden visitors

    For this reason, I've partnered with a stray cat. She gets two handfuls of delicious Cat Choize from me every day, and in return, she guards our garden, driveway, and surrounding area. She catches all sorts of things, not just rats and mice, but also cicaks, grasshoppers, tokehs, and even small...
