Do banks act this way? Dislike this app so much, literally forced to use it for the silly tolls.

We were once promised such a bypass to your debit/credit cards, but now that chap is some senator based minister.

Markets in everything. $70,000 just to resell reservations you’ve made via bots. Scalping is rewarding.

The Chinese economy feels like it might be in more trouble than we think. Or they’re decoupling from consumerism.

Also, Tesla. Still a believer. Still underwater. Sales numbers look crappy (is it price, BYD or EV stagnation in general, though), and there’s “promise” of cheaper.

The schadenfreude in the quotes and replies.

Everyone should be working towards their dreams of becoming multi-millionaires, not think the only way to do this is by “influencing”, rich kids, traders, et al.

The mindset really needs a changing.

This is what Naval is spot on about X, and I think it has to do with paying people to post.

The amount of “repurposed” content by followers, and reply guys, is absolutely awful on X.

You’ll be the source, but they’ll find “a different take” or a different time.

A fitness class I go for is about $35, and typically I do a strength bootcamp and cycle practice, bringing it to $70 per day.

Just watching Malaysian X seem to be a little unhappy re: Najib and Zahid and Madani today.

I don't think there's much to be upset about. Focus on the things you can control.

As much as I hate to say it, Mahathir may always have been right.

Turns out Airchat needs 8 character username. For once I’m not byte/bytebot. Oh wait, I think I’m my full name on Skype too.

Tim Cook visits Vietnam. Now Indonesia. I understand the Apple Store in KL is not open yet, but might he pop by Malaysia?

Mac Mini's are made in Malaysia. Apple's supplier list has 17 suppliers based in Malaysia.

Love the captions! Great reportage as always.

Didn’t realise premium economy was the most profitable seat for airlines.

“Premium economy is 40% more profitable than business, with coach being the least profitable, according to Lufthansa.”

Did any Malaysian receive a WhatsApp greeting from your MP?

Voter data merged with a telephone database, to give you custom festive greetings.

This is probably not legal, but with all the data leaks, I guess it is par for the course.

Ah, one wonders where all the Grab Malaysia drivers went. 30 minutes, no driver in pj.

Remember, it only take 1 hour of work per week, to be considered employed for statistics purposes.

Read in whole.

Interesting to see what kinds of “quality applicants” MM2H is targeting.

Whole, since there are problems faced, plus Malaysia’s general brain drain issues.

The fabric, the core, might be changing a lot more than we think.

Don’t see me clamoring to sell my $CVX stock. No reverse BDS movements here ;)

Fact is, I’m told that it might be the best fuel Malaysia has to offer, and might be the next stop for me, if I could find one easily near my areas! Apparently they still accept Amex without issue.

Went to a McDonald's Malaysia drive thru today, and they provided complimentary coffee. It’s surprisingly decent, and you can’t beat it being FREE!
