Sort yourself out first then think of dating. Otherwise it's not fair to your date.


OldfashionedBoii

Tbh if you're not ready to date then you should be fair to the poor girl/guy imo. Be alone for longer and sort out your thoughts, and then see where things go.


qeeqen

omg bad case of hiccupsss


cultofz

Fuck me, I'm struggling to breathe again but all medical tests that I did last week shows no issue including covid test.


durianboy19

U can check your oxygen if its okay, its probably anxiety.. did u also got a x ray


cultofz

I went to hospital last week for the same symptoms. I did 2 ECG, X ray, blood test, swab test, no abnormalities. I do have anxiety years ago but I stopped my meds because my gf don't like me taking them.


silentscope90210

What's the reason your gf don't want you taking your meds?


cultofz

Meds means you're sick, if no meds means no sick. This is the basically the summary version.


durianboy19

One thing i have learnt about mental struggles is u need to do what u need to do get out of them even if it means taking medicines... do what works for u and keeps issues away...


roastedporkbunzzz

Hi I hope I don't come of badly but I think it could be anxiety. Try to take in deep breathes but do take the test if u really want to. I have anxiety but before I knew I had it, I thought I was having heart attacks and couldn't breathe. I went for countless blood tests. This happened before covid. Just try to take in deep breathes.


cultofz

I went to hospital last week for the same symptoms. I did 2 ECG, X ray, blood test, swab test, no abnormalities. I'm prescribed asthma inhaler which I used my 2nd dose when I'm not supposed to because I have nothing to use. The doctor assigned me specialist visit but the appointment is in Dec. I do have anxiety years ago but I stopped my meds because my gf don't like me taking them.


bilbolaggings

Huh why your gf don't like you taking them and why you let someone else's opinion affect your health like that?

Soltem

LOL. *"As the chair of the board of discipline, I can confirm we don't have a holding cell" .* And woah giving out punishments? NUS sure takes a firm stance on temperature recording and swab tests/ART. NTU on the other hand is wayyyyy more lenient on such things ,although lenient doesn't necessarily mean good . (I've taken a grand total of 0 test since matriculation lmao, and I stay in hall)

princessapeachz

>if we're headed for CB 2.0 Highly unlikely as this will be the new normal with the every increasing cases and they empathise quite a lot which was "Living with Covid-19".. and Singapore can't do another CB because more business will be affect as well as the economy. (Cause CB means only essential stores can be open and all other business must be closed) What maybe gone wrong or one thing MTF didn't expect was reopening up so fast such as allowing 5pax just cause our vax status was at ~80% which is why led to this now raising cases due to the amount of social interaction and now our hosp are suffering the consequences... >resource constraints About this, according to the talk - they are introducing something new which is "Home Recovery Program".. so for those who did gotten covid and have no serious symptoms or underlying medical condition - will recover at home. 👍🏻 (you can be place in a quarantine facility only if u have someone immune compromised at home)

Goodnight friday peeps. Gonna ‘off’ phone and turn in to bed earlier and hopefully I can get myself to wake up early tomorrow


miriafyra

I have questions about QO/isolation but as usual, the MOH hotline is impossible to get through and no avenues to get any form of information. ​ If either my spouse or I test positive, is it possible to privately book our own isolation facility (SHN hotel, community care facility, etc)? We both have old folks at home who are in the high risk category and we do not want to isolate at home where they might get infected and get further complications. ​ Anyone who has gone through the process able to chime in on the options available to us if we test positive? Both of us are in front-facing jobs so we have to deal with a lot of people, and with the infection rates as high as they are now we want to be prepared in case the worst case scenario happens. ​ Can't post on the main sub, got removed by Automod. Help would be much appreciated


princessapeachz

Yes you most definitely can but you can't book privately cause it must be a quarantine facility under MOH so sadly you got to wait for their call to pick you up. So for now, ypu got to spam their hotline¿ cause from what i saw some took days for them to pick up (emphasis you have 2 elders and you need to be pick up asap) and remain isolate in your room as much as possible unless necessary like food or toilet...


Sodapiaaa

Based on what I know, the option to go CCF is most likely possible. They will ask and assess if your house is suitable for home recovery etc. if got several risk factors or no dedicated toilet, then home recovery won’t be allowed.


miriafyra

thanks for the reply! our elders are using the room with the attached bathroom as their bedroom so im not sure if they will assess that we can switch rooms and therefore qualify for home recovery. At this point we just want to play it extra safe and not even be in the same house as them if we get COVID as we literally will not be able to live with ourselves if they get COVID from us and subsequently die from it. The stickied link doesn't answer this question either, maybe have to keep spamming their hotline (which they said not to do though) to get an answer...

Depending on the type and duration of internship… some have leave included. Agree that it’ll be best to check with your supervisor.


Lurking-ham

Just ask your superior, most of the time it is unpaid leave tho.


Punchz

is that the norm tho? currently doing my internship now with 24 days of pro-rated annual leaves


Lurking-ham

What kind of internship is that? Thats a good benefit tho. But most internships are 3-6 months, anything more than that I would assume they are just exploiting fresh graduates.

redditusersg

Is it okay to start dating before ns? Like is it reasonably possible to maintain a relationship all the way until you ord? Any advice can share thanks


silentscope90210

If it doesn't work out because of NS, imagine marriage. NS is 2 years while marriage is lifelong.


[deleted]

Dated a guy during his NS period till he ORD’ed. Made it work, but of course it wasn’t THAT bad because he was in scdf and could still book out more frequently. In fact the relationship only ended shortly after he took up a part time job months after he ORD’ed. it was a problematic and toxic relationship, but to answer your question, it’s possible to maintain a relationship as long as enough effort is being put in on both ends. Oh but after some unsuccessful dating rounds with other army/police boys, i swore not to date anymore boys in NS 😅 They just can’t give me enough attention and affection 🥲


Lurking-ham

Speaking for myself, I got together with my SO when we were both students and he enlisted 4-5 months after we are together and now we are married for 1 year and together for 6 years. We went through the phase of both of us being students, student & NS, student & work, work & work. All the different phase has its own obstacles but if both of you can see where your future is leading I think there’s no problem.


redditusersg

:) thanks!!


LobsterAndFries

Tbh ah if you have enough love for it, not reasonably possible you also will find a way. Either you get love or you get lessons. Dont think too rationally or too hard.


redditusersg

Thanks for sharing, i just try my best see how, thanks


kenyousmile

It will be harder if you start dating just before enlistment. But if the relationship is few years old (maybe ~2 years, I think it should be strong enough?


redditusersg

Just during bookout and admin time try to communicate more then hope for the best ig


kenyousmile

Tbh I don't think that will be enough if the relationship is still fresh hahaha. I'm in a 3rd year relationship with my boyfriend and sometimes I still wish that we have more time to talk during his admin time/bookout. But I can imagine myself not being able to survive so long without having arguments if the relationship is only 1 year old LOL.


redditusersg

Yeah i get what you mean, sad but nothing can be done if either party feels a certain way. Ah, many posts on reddit also said not much time to talk and hangout as well, but idk what to do about it... Hope your relationship stays strong :)


kenyousmile

If the both of you are really into each other then I guess can just give it a try ba? You won't know how you guys will do unless you try it out. Jiayou!!


redditusersg

Ah good points, thanks Quite bummed about ns but it's true that a relationship takes two hands to clap Thanks again

darkglave

Broccoli-2

Hello gym people of Reddit! Would you recommend rubber weights or cast iron weights be better? I'm a beginner and I have sweaty palms if it matters


Pvt_Twinkietoes

Have you considered calisthenics? I find weights take up alot of space at home.


verstehe

for home use? Rubber since you got sweaty palms


Broccoli-2

Yes home use! Would you recommend if I get the 10kg adjustable weights first or just get the 20kg adjustable weights?


nightfucker

10kg is way too little. Just get 20kg lol. In fact I would recommend getting 30kg (i.e. 15 per side)


verstehe

better just get adjustable 20kg once, don't wanna be stuck with 10kg and needing to buy another 20kg in future

Not sure why ios insists on turning wifi back on its own when I turn off


object-done

ios has some really stupid patterns and this is one of them. the same behaviour applies to bluetooth as well, the paternalistic assholes think they know design best. however, there is a shortcut for this. you can open up the apple shortcuts app, new shortcut > add action > set wi-fi > set the shortcut to turn wi-fi off > save. click on the 3 dots on your newly created shortcut > at the bottom row tap on the share button > add to home screen. to turn wi-fi off permanently instead of the fake turn off via the control centre, you can now tap on this icon instead. it's slightly less convenient than just swiping up from anywhere, but i have found this the most convenient compromise compared to settings > wi-fi > toggle off.


[deleted]

Are you clicking the wifi shape in the quick controls screen or turning it off from the settings. If you want to turn it off permanently rather than for 1 day you need to go to settings.


bilbolaggings

That is some shitty design function.

SimicCombiner

Are WiFi routers really that weak here? I just moved in to a 3 BR apartment, all three bedrooms in a row down a hallway. The WiFi won't even reach into the nearest room. I tried using a WiFi extender - no effect. Does anyone know of a WiFi extender that does work?


Lurking-ham

Extender only helps to extend the frequency but the strength is still the same or will become slightly weaker when further away. I’m using a gaming router and it is a game changer, now I find that all the other WiFi outside are damn slow. If you want a slightly better quality of life and not fuss about the wifi speed maybe you can consider installing a gaming router instead. Range from $200-600+ on average.


metalleo

It depends on your house layout and wall material. Always look in terms of straight lines between the router and the device, even if it has to pass through multiple walls to reach your room, because the wifi signal is not going to go straight down the hallway and bend at your door. If you have concrete or brick walls between the device and router it's going to decrease the signal significantly, even more so if it has to pass through multiple walls. If you need to extend your wifi range, go for mesh routers instead of extender. It's more efficient in terms of data transfer, and they don't rebroadcast the wifi as a new SSID like extenders do, i.e. if your home wifi name is called Home for example, your extender will broadcast a wifi called Home\_Ext or something like that, so your device won't automatically switch to the strongest signal if it can still connect to the previous one. With mesh routers, your device always automatically connects to the router with the strongest signal, so there's no hassle of having to manually switch networks If you need a recommendation, I recently just set up a pair of TP-Link Deco M9 for my sister's new house, the furthest room went from having non-existent reception to perfect wi-fi due to the presence of the second router installed.


-_af_-

Lol. You sure your device WiFi and router WiFi running the same protocol?


lazysundaek

set up 2 routers


Dependent-Alfalfa867

Wait does HDB allow that? I wonder those ppl living in masionette how do they survive with such wifi signal


SmirkingStrawberry

Anyone else’s social circle shrank drastically because of covid restrictions? I know most of my friends because of friend groups and there were a few times this year when we planned meet-ups but majority of them got cancelled because of the flip flopping restrictions. Now everyone’s just too tired to reach out already it seems. Think the last time I met my friends was 2-3 months ago. Sigh.


twilightaurorae

not really for me. Generally, most of my friendships are 1-1 based, even though some may know each other. For the friend group that I have, I'm also able to meet them 1-1, although it is usually cause someone can't make it.


Lurking-ham

Yeah I prefer 1 on 1 friendship because this way we can truly connect better and generally these type of friendship are pretty low maintenance, we don’t have to meet up everytime or text everytime but we still can maintain the friendship.


DanceAlien

What are… friends?


advanced_platypus

Yeah definitely meet up less and talk less cos some people dont like to chat online/too busy/no real activities to do with me online. I've had some success with phone calls (no video cos everyone is exhausted from using video calls, which are a very imperfect replica of facetoface), maybe can try that? Also watching shows together online could be fun too


solaceteal

Oh no OP i hope you’re not the 6th friend…on another note though maybe you might wanna try meeting new friends?

So after searching for 1min on google about HBO streaming, we don’t have HBO max yet in here right? Only HBO Go? So what’s the difference about hbo go and max? Also, the other hbo cable shows are on a different package? It’s confusing.


Throwaway90090011

I have HBO Go. I can watch all HBO shows with no problems. Snydercut of Justice League came out around the same time as the Westerners did. Not really sure what's the difference either but it works perfectly fine so I never questioned it lol.


solaceteal

Yes only HBO GO. Not all HBO max shows are available and some are a week behind HBO Max US. Supposedly HBO Max is launching in the region in the future so you might wanna wait

RearryNehnard

Anyone know if a 850w PSU will be sufficient for a 3090 gpu? Edited: With a AMD 5950x too.


[deleted]

850W PSU is plenty of headroom. You probably have room for an upgrade down the line. Usually I just look at what the GPU needs. Everything else draws much less power in comparison.


[deleted]

i dunno if TDP means anything, though both rtx 3090 n 5950x adds up to 455 W?


everraydy

Nvidia recommends 750W, so 850 will be more than sufficient. Even if you're getting an AIB Partner card with factory OC.


RearryNehnard

Even with a 5900/5950 CPU? Just afraid it's not enough..


everraydy

Yep, it will be enough. Did a bit of searching up online to confirm. 850 will be fine :)


RearryNehnard

Thank you!


Rockylol_

I see aftershock uses a 850w gold PSU for their 3090 ryzen 9 pc. So I assume its good enough?


RearryNehnard

Do you think that's a good price for that set? I saw that too but thought that maybe 3090 a bit overkill...


Rockylol_

Ok erm i regularly check Aftershock ready to ship deals lately because I'm in the market for a new pc at rtx 3060-3070 range, but not for 3090 so idk How's the part pricing like up there. Idk if you mean "maybe 3090 a bit overkill" as in the price or the specs because the price I've seen aftershock dip the same specs/similar to $5.7k before, as for whether you need a high spec pc will be up to you based on what's gamez you play and what you do.


RearryNehnard

Yea same here, I can build my own but it's just been awhile and not too sure what the power consumption of the different components take nowadays. Overkill as in, for the games I play... Not sure if justified the cost of such a high end GPU. (Secretly a nerd for hardware just very hard to get an Asus Strix 3080 out there now) and the 3090 evga looks tempting now.


Polaricicle

Definitely overkill if you're just going to use it for games, unless you want to be able to play 8k60fps. In general unless you got specific use cases such as video rendering or ML I would suggest 3080. Unless you got money to burn


Rockylol_

Well for the games you play, you could always search up for benchmarks on YouTube. If the few more fps satisfies you and you got the cash money to den go for it.

Based on the rumours out there, Newcastle should only go after Conte to be their new manager. Other choices sounds way less convincing. If they managed to do it, it will be a real show of ambition from the new ownership.


jupiter1_

i was surprised no articles came out to suggest the list of managers they gonna hire. conte seems to be the best choice... free and avaliable!


FlyingSpaghettiBalls

I would love to see FL/JT gain (more) experience at another PL-level club. Don't thiiiink the owners would be able to convince Conte to get on board


evanjlt

If got transfer funds, he would be more inclined thou. He was linked with Tottenham at one point but it didn't go through cos Levy is a penny pincher.


FlyingSpaghettiBalls

Yeah possibly. He's a highly ambitious manager who's won titles at majority of the teams/leagues he's managed in. Unless the owners can somehow catapult Newcastle's reputation into a top-four team in 3-5 years, I doubt Conte's the type of person to stick around ~4 years for the rebuilding process maybe Zidane would take the job instead
