Throwaway time - yay. I feel so liberated with throwaways.

I can relate to this, went through a similar episode, schooled here, went abroad for uni, had the best 3 damn years of my life, and came back here feeling like I made a mistake coming back.

Also got my license late because of that moving around, so when I did come back I also found it hard to get around to meet friends, barely made it to the office (to a job I stopped liking or learning anything after 3 months). And also found it hard to reconnect with old friends as people mostly seem like here, out of sight, out of mind kind of nature. Saying no initially eventually meant you're forgotten. Can't blame them, gone for 3 years, back, and saying no to going out. Yeah I wouldn't talk to me either. But I also would never ever trade those 3 years abroad for doing them here, not only was it kick-ass awesome, it also taught me theres an entire planet and world out there.

Well that was 3 years ago, I've now changed jobs 3 times, started a company and closed it, on my 3rd job, got my license (obv), car that I like, etc.

Things can get better.

Here's the truth: there are 3 cornerstones in your life:

1. Your job
   
   
2. Your house (or apartment)
   
   
3. Your relationships
   
   If you have those things in order, you can afford to take almost any "risk" you want.
   
   What got me through is this:
   
   

• Always be pursuing your passion. Every year my passion and focus is a little different but in the same field, infact I realize its simply a career progression in a field that does not have clear 1-2-3 steps.
  
  So love what you do. If you don't, whatever you do, be the best at it. Or better yet, pursue what you love. Your career and job will lead your life, so make sure you absolutely have that one down right, otherwise your home and relationships will suffer.
  
  
• Read. Read great blogs or books that focus on self-growth. The human brain develops its final phase of its personality in your 20's. By the time you hit early 30's your personality and future is completely directed by how you grow and what you do in these 20's. It's also very normal that people in their 20's to get so confused or lost specially getting out of grades and a clear track life of school to suddenly the work force where nothing is straight forward or graded. My personal recommendations are James Clear website, I could lose myself for hours reading his stuff, go to his best articles section. A simple good read is this article. There's also this book, and finally just sign up for the mailing list of this website, I know this site looks spammy as hell but trust me its got some solid content thats specifically relevant to people like you (and me).
  
  
• If you live with family after living alone for a while, you probably want the get the furthest away as possible from them. If you can, find a way to live alone again. This might be tougher to do though depending on your family, and it might be one of those things you just have to haul it along.
  
  
• Manage or clear your debts. There are many strategies out there, I like the clear the smallest debts first approach. Have a wants and needs list, wants make you poorer, needs (including investments) make your richer.
  
  I'm personally already drawing up my escape plan. Planning to move abroad for work in about a year once I settle stuff here and gain the right experience I need to do that. Let me know if you want me to share it.

built-in amps options

• skullcandy crushers for almost 2yrs now. the listening experience is crazy because of the built-in amp w/bass slider, great battery life as well. great for gym and entertainment. biggest downsides are; they break easily, get uncomf after a while. it gets even more insane with an external amp
  
  
  
• qc35s is good for flights, noise cancelling removes that annoying engine noise, great sound quality as well and very flexible as well. around 20hr playtime but charges fast.
  
  
• sony cheaper alternative to qc
  
  other mentions (didn't try them, but was rec)
  
  
  
• 630vb
  
  
• [sonywh] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G4MNFS1?ref=emc_p_m_5_i)
  
  
  some other decent options that work better with an amp
  
  
• beyerdynamic nice sound
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  overall i recommend qc35, clear sound, wireless and nice noise cancelling option.

  >Also came across earstudio es100 could be the "fine balance"
  
  seems like a really good option, decent price.

No, torrenting should never be encouraged. There are multiple ways to get Steam versions of GTA that is region restricted to your country.

First of all, VPN will not work. Especially if you use your credit card info to pay for your games. If your card details are UAE then you will be only allowed to purchase from the UAE Steam store, irregardless of your actual location.

Secondly, there are a ton of sites or friends that can do the purchasing for you and send you the game. sites usually take CC but it is preferable to use paypal, same for paying friends.

Amazon ($15.79) works as it uses Steam DRM, you can use any location CC but just use a USA billing address.

G2A ($13.54) also works but there is some speculation on whether their games fell off a truck.

Currently, GTA IV complete is at an average price at the moment and the lowest recorded price is at $7.49 at USA international stores. If you are in no hurry, I suggest you wait 2 1/2 months for the Amazon/GMG/Steam summer sale where you can pick it up for $7.49 or lower.

Once again, never use VPN for buying on the Steam store, you will get banned for trying to purchase games off your location.

Relevant line from Steam's ToS:

You agree that you will not use IP proxying or other methods to disguise the place of your residence, whether to circumvent geographical restrictions on game content, to purchase at pricing not applicable to your geography, or for any other purpose. If you do this, we may terminate your access to your Account.

Good luck on how you want to treat this information.

EDIT: Wow, downvoted for being right. Hilarious.

I have the Tomoko MK (Blue switches) it's not the best and on par with the higher costing MKs but for the price, you can't go wrong with this one. If you're on a budget and looking to save some money this is it. It'll cost you around 180 DHS including shipping and customs.

Or you can go with Redragon K552 KUMARA, this has Red led on it (if that is something that you want in your MK). I have seen some reviews on it, sounds like a good budget MK, but can't say how it performs against the Tomoko.

It's difficult to find in Dubai but "Food Grade Diatomacous Earth" powder is the safest and the most effective way of pest control for my experience. I have ordered it from Amazon and I can say that I am quite happy with the results. It's really effective. My two cats did not show any signs of disturbance or reaction to powder. You just need to reapply the dust time to time since they lose their effectiveness when they get wet due to humidity.

You are arriving at a nice time of year. I recommend getting a guide such as this one, which will help you to navigate through all the red tape once you get here. Good luck with the move!

Someone recommended this to me before and I bought it, happy to say that I'm super satisfied with it.

Perineal Lavette Irrigation Bottle, (Pack of 5) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B9N45Y7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sVwmDb5652W2Q

They don’t look like much but they work really well. The portability is awesome and I was able to have two in my handbag for long airport layovers

Get the Acer Predator Helios, off Amazon. It ships here too, but the S&H and Import fees almost total up to 500 dirhams. Check SnS. The laptop's $1049 which is 4549 including the S&H and Import fees, and I don't think you'll get many good deals at GITEX, but it's worth checking out. :)

Want to sell gaming desktop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B017KZS3O2/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all&qid=1549143591&sr=1-9 ASUS ROG tower desktop, 3.6 ghz i7 with a GTX960, runs CSGO/DOTA2/BLANDS2/POE/LOL/ROCKET LEAGUE all on ultra, can run most games besides newest shooters on high. Desktop is roughly 2 years old.

I'm looking for 2300 AED, giving free keyboard and mouse with purchase.

Pm me if you're interested. I can send you pics of my desktop rather than the amazon link to it.

Thanks for the reply.

I've checked a site and it was 200£ GBP cheaper than Amazon UK.

https://www.amazon.ae/DJI-Mavic-More-Combo-DJI-MVA100-C1-AW/dp/B0797Y51XG/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=dji+mavic+air+fly+more&qid=1572885968&sr=8-1

I'll be waiting for Black Friday to see if I can get some deals.

Do you know of any stores/websites in Dubai that sell the fly more combo apart from the above?

Does anyone know where I can find square tube fittings like https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Alloy-Square-Connector-Fittings/dp/B01G6Z6B1Y and https://www.amazon.com/Square-Tube-Fittings-Way-Plate/dp/B00HRY2U4G?

​

I've called a bunch of companies here and they don't have it. It seems that the preferred way here to join square tubing here is welding!

Dude, stahp.

save up a 1000 more and get an Acer predator helios 300 with the 1060, on amazon.
this one

already made a comparison.

https://www.amazon.ae/Intel-Core-i3-8100-Desktop-Processor/dp/B0759FTRZL/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=ram&qid=1556693415&s=gateway&sr=8-2

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-8th-Core-i3-8100-Processor/dp/B0759FTRZL/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=Intel+Core+i3-8100+Desktop+Processor+-+3.60+GHz&qid=1556693442&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

in this case the ae is more expensive by 200 dirhams. even when adding shipping to the total cost. but im not sure if that's good or not

If you can shell out an extra 100 the new 10th-gen Amazon Kindle is better suited if you'll be using it for reading: https://www.amazon.ae/All-New-Kindle-Display-Built-Light/dp/B07FQ4DJ83/

Always better to use amazon. Com more options better prices. Slightly longer shipping time

Option 1 (newer model, capacitor based, no battery)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07HVNCQF3/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile

Option 2 (this is the older capacitor based model and what I use)
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Dashboard-Camera-Recorder-6-Lane/dp/B01M592J9C

The suction cup mount is useless and total junk. Stick to 3m tape mount option or find a rear view mirror mount.

I am considering this one with a hardwire kit bought separately so that it records while parking too. What do you say?
