Is it worth buying points and saving them for the future?

I am new to Qatar airways and new to their points system.

I recently got an upgrade to business using points, and it’s great.

Qatar airways are running an offer now until August 25th - you can purchase Avios points and they give you up to 50% extra points as bonus.

Is it worth buying? Do they run these offers regularly or is it a one time thing? If I miss this one, when do you think they will offer it again?

How long until a speeding ticket fine gets reflected on RTA app?

I was driving in e77, I got my first camera flash ticket. Honestly I didn’t know that THAT part of e77 has a lower speed, it’s all 120 max, but that section had 100. I was driving 125 or so when the camera flashed yesterday evening. Have been checking the app since but nothing. Perhaps it wasn’t for me?

Pudong or Bund? Or any other area? First timers in Shanghai

Hey everyone, enquiring about where to stay in Shanghai. We are visiting Shanghai for the first time.

We found two hotels that suit our budget and they both do look good, yet we are hesitant because maybe their locations aren’t good or maybe they are old and not maintained (as they look in “some” photos):

Option 1: Regent Shanghai Pudong
Option 2: The Westin Bund scented

Question 1 - what do you think of the hotels and which would you recommend for 1 week.

Question 2 - is Pudong area good to stay in? We are working on the list of places we want to visit, and honestly they are scattered all over the place. So we can’t figure out an area where we could stay at and walk to everywhere. I also learnt that Shanghai’s public transportation is efficient anyway to use to go anywhere. Also, we got a great price for Regent hotel. All other hotels are either priced the same but look bad with bad review, or more expensive.

Greatly appreciate your advice! :)

Is copper important?

I have been taken 30mg of zinc for like 3 months now. I am reading now that copper is also important. Should I test before incorporating it? What’s the ideal copper dosage for a 30mg zinc taker? Should I take both together or space them out?

Zinc l-optizinc vs zinc bisglycinate? Building my stack

Hey everyone. So I am building my stack and targeting to start a course in a week.

Now I taking only zinc bisglycinate, ONLY.

I’ve read the beginners stack guide, but I feel it’s a bit outdated by now.

NOW brand has zinc l-optizinc (30mg) + copper (0.3mg). Is that good? Or should I continue with my zinc bisglycinate without copper?

Also, should I test for copper before taking any? Or 0.3mg is fine?

In addition, there other supplements like Taurine, Maca, l-theanine, l-tryptophan, and others. I dont want to take them all at once, but I want to take some.

I want to improve my sex drive and cum load. What would you recommend?

THANK YOU ALL, love this channel!

Are these business seats comfortable? And how is the service?

As every Qatar airlines’ aircraft basically has a different business class seating type, can you please tell me if my seats are comfortable or not. Flying business for the first time.

Flying to Beijing on A350-900 (first pic)

Flying back from Shanghai on Boeing 777-300er (second pic).

How likely these aircraft’s will change and I will end up in different seat types?

Do they recline? Comfortable for sleeping?

Does Qatar airlines change airplanes and business class seats?

My wife and I flying business from Dubai to Beijing in December, business class. I’ve noticed that each plane flying to China has a different type of business class. Sometimes Q-suites, sometimes pods, sometimes two large seats next to each other.

Since our flight is in December, does Qatar airlines sometimes change flights? So whatever type of business class seats I see now may be different when it’s closer to the time of flight?

Flying to Beijing its scheduled now on A350-900

Flying back from Shanghai scheduled now on Boeing 777-300er.

What are the chances these will change? Oh, and by the way, are the business class seats on those flights good?

How to avoid the 3% fees on Alipay?

Hey everyone, and sorry in advance if this question is repetitive. I am a tourist, visiting China for two weeks with my wife. We don’t know anybody there.

Having that said, a few questions on payments in China:

  1. ⁠I understand that Alipay charges 3% on payments over 200 Chinese yuan. Is that 200 per transaction or per day?

  2. ⁠200 Chinese yuan is little especially as I am paying for myself and my wife. How to avoid 3% fees? Yes i understand 3% is not a big deal, but it adds up actually in every transaction over a 2-3 weeks stay. No, I don’t want to split the bill into small 200 bills

  3. ⁠Can’t we top up Alipay once from an international card and then just keep using Alipay there? No we don’t have friends/family in China that could help us with that.

How to upgrade with points?

Hey everyone. I booked a trip for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. I have been flying economy all my life. This time we got an offer to book the return flight on Business Lite, the difference between economy and business lite was so minimal that i went ahead and booked it!!!

So now my enquiry is, what does it take to upgrade my outbound flight as well?

The outbound flight is from Dubai to Beijing, QR892, airbus A350-900. For reference, the trip is in December.

I went to “manage my flight” and it’s giving me the option to upgrade the flight only with cash (not points), and it’s super expensive, as much as what i paid for our tickets outbound & inbound. Shall I wait and maybe closer to the flight we will get a discounted offer? And how to pay for the upgrade with points since I have a lot? I hear a lot of people flying business on points/offers, but how??? I just want this trip to be memorable with my wife 😊

The Valley by Emaar

We started renting here and we love it. However, does any real estate agent know when Emaar is going to build any proper community centre?

The pavilion they have now is basically a joke.

Any idea when new community centre/supermarket will be built?

It only drips. Doctors say nothing is wrong.

I am 38. When I ejaculated 5 years ago (sex or masturbation) I used to actually SHOOT. That allowed me to see if I cummed big loads or small loads. And when I edged I had even bigger loads.

Then I noticed my cum just started to drip out. I can’t even measure if I am cumming a lot or not because it just drips out. I feel like my dick is chocked and can’t release properly. In the past I used to get this satisfaction/euphoric feeling after release cum. Now this satisfaction feeling is gone, I feel my dick is chocked.

I visited many doctors to get as many opinions as I can. I explained to them everything (and trust me it’s embarrassing). They all did tests. They all said I have got nothing wrong. They all said it may be associated with age or it’s related to psychology and I just need to live with it.

I am associating this problems to three matters:

  1. in my early 30’s I took some SSRI’s for premature ejaculation. In my head I always associate my cum-dripping problem with the SSRIs because I faced an issue when I stopped the medication. But again, that was 6-7 years back. When I explain this to doctors, they always say that even if SSRIs caused the problem, they are out of my system way back now.

  2. I broke up with my gf back then. I was off the SSRIs and I wanted simulate my dick basically. I remember one night I wanted some excitement. I went to a massage parlour. The masseuse gave me a happy ending. I remember she pulled my testicles downwards and i felt my veins got strained and my erection immediately died. I freaked out I remember. Because it caused some pain/discomfort but then it immediately went away.

  3. About 3 years ago I got a herniated disc, my spine got messed up, got hospitalised for two weeks. I avoided the surgery, but I do get some pains from time to time. I read online that spine problems can cause issues with ejaculation.

  4. I have a job that requires me to sit down on a computer for long hours.

Has anyone experienced that before? I don’t take much supplements apart from Zinc. Doctor and tests all say that I’ve got nothing wrong. Then why I just drip instead of shooting like before? I feel like my issue is physical, like my veins or dick is chocked and that’s why I can’t ejaculate properly/like before. Has anyone experienced that? Will supplements actually help? I understand that supplements may help with the volume, but SHOOTING cum is physical and need physical therapy, am I correct?

Is this real business class?

Hey everybody, I bought business lite tickets on Qatar airlines. I understand that with this class I can’t use the lounge and any airports perks, but basically everything is the same “on the airplane”. However, when I see the seat mapping it’s like what it’s shown on the picture above. Is this Qsuite or just a regular large seat? Also, if I wear to choose a seat, which seat is the best?

  2. ⁠If you have one or two internet routers, where are you placing it/them?

  3. ⁠Which is better - Du or Etisalat? Both have coverage in my area
