Yesterday kutuk why 5G, today stimmix with Hotlink 5G. Though annoyingly it keeps switching between 4G and 5G when I'm sitting still, and office smack on the center of KL.

Hotlink/Maxis finally has 5G, but at RM5 per month. Whatever happened to 5G being cheaper than 4G or whatever propaganda it was before this? If cheaper, why need extra pass just to access the network...?

Still working my way towards a job/career that can grant me the mobility to leave this country.

Bought the following two voter promo items, with findings:

1. Dominoes buy one regular, buy 1 large at RM1. Caveat was need to buy regular pizza at ala carte price, which is RM35.90. Total is RM36.90. The other issue? 3 hour lead time. Order at 6pm, 9pm baru dapat lol.

2. Tealive RM6 for selected drinks. No caveat. In fact got loophole. Buy using the app (I used TnG, and pickup), pick large, and can buy multiple. Regretted coz I bought regular, and only thought to check after the fact lol.

Didn't bothered to vote actually today. but gf keep annoying me about it. so first time go voting noon time. Literally no queue. would recommend next time go vote at noon time also instead of long queue in the morning.

Re: Project Hail Mary, if you'd be willing to give it a second chance, I highly recommend switching to the audiobook version. The voice acting is just superb.

I had that exact same experience few months ago with a KZ replacement cable!

The difference is that I decided to finally move on to Bluetooth earphones lol

Purposely went all the way down to Setia Alam to grab the deal. According to the PIC I talked to, apparently myTukar has a massive car paint workshop in USJ for a while now, but there were barely any customers. The price previously was even lower than the current promo price. Apparently the workshop has such a great capacity to do paint jobs, don't even need to set appointment, can just walk in.

Promo deal is valid for 3 months. RM500 deposit. FWIW the undercoat option is an additional RM800 that is to be added-on upon recommendation. Body panel repair is RM150 per panel.

As for the EVx expo... Ok ok la. Don't expect huge halls like KL Convec or MITEC. Parking was RM5. Got food trucks around. As expected the Tesla booth has the largest crowd. Not in a position to be changing cars yet so didn't really go gaga over the cars there. If I was in a more leisurely mood I'd have walked over to the Setia City Mall to jalan jalan.

Would've shared the above news in the transportation comm, but the 'what do we talk about here' thread put up quite a hostile attitude towards car topics, so malas lah nak share situ.

Usually clothing stores have an altering counter for you to bring your pants to do final adjustment after payment.

As much as I advocate for sensible, non-emotional investing via passive means, it's hard to ignore:

1. the bear case where after a yield curve inversion, the stock market usually only crashes after the yield curve uninverts. This has yet to happen, which adds to the suspense, as it's currently very inverted.

2. the bull case where CPI is noticeably heading back towards the Fed's target of 2% (latest report at 3% y/y). The Fed has already said the last Fed meeting decision was a "skip", implying that a hike is still on the cards for future meetings, however the market has been performing very positively over the past 2 months. Related to the bear case, the yield curve will uninvert once the Fed decides to cut rates instead of hiking. On the technical front, on a higher time frame, the monthly MACD had a bullish crossover for all broad-based equities indices. This could still be a FOMO rally, but so was the last 10 years (as the US market's return was primarily driven by higher PE ratios rather than dividend yields or book value, compared to rest of the world where PE ratios are still relatively tame). For all we know, the Fed might pull off this "soft landing" shenanigan.

Well, I lied. If I just ignored the noise, and emotionlessly and periodically added to my investment portfolio come rain or shine, I would've ended up much better. The odds are in my favour if I just stuck to the plan.

Of course, this only comes up when market is up. Even crypto is up after some extremely favourable news yesterday. When the market is down, "oh syukor tak all-in lagi".

I find that between yesterday and today, a sign out and signing back in solved most of the glitches I'm seeing (subscriptions not populated or appearing, post updates, latest posts, etc). I forsee doing this periodically for the forseable future of using Lemmy, regardless of home instance.

What's the impact of me using monyet.cc as my home instance to browse other federated instances? I understand that hosting an instance requires quite a bit of resources, just not sure where that resource is being consumed from (home or destination instance).
