I have a will in my home country. Do I need a separate one for my Dubai property?

I bought an apartment in Dubai a few years ago, but most of my other assets are in my home country. I already have a will prepared there, and it names the people I want to inherit my estate.

Someone recently told me that having a foreign will doesn't necessarily mean everything will be dealt with easily in the UAE. Now I'm unsure whether I need another document or whether my existing will can be recognised here. I also don't want to accidentally create two wills that contradict each other. That seems like it could cause more problems than having only one.

Has anyone with property in the UAE and assets overseas dealt with this? Did you have your existing will reviewed, register a UAE specific will, or take another route? I'd appreciate suggestions on what to ask a qualified UAE inheritance lawyer before making any changes.

Lifting the driver floor tray spills loose trail gravel over the sill

Tilting the stiff driver side floor tray to clear the pedals dumps half the loose creek gravel straight over the plastic door sill. The tall perimeter lip holds standing mud fine while driving, but trying to squeeze that rigid molded edge past the steering column creates a funnel that empties right into the door frame gap. A buddy running trails in the same area pointed out 3W as a possible replacement with slightly more flexible sidewalls. I still cannot tell if softer edges would just collapse when you lift twenty pounds of wet sand out of the footwell.

£65m for Ndiaye feels like a LOT

Reports say City have an agreement with Everton for £60m plus £5m in add-ons after the Gakpo move stalled. Ndiaye is direct, quick and Premier League-ready, but that is still a huge fee. Smart pivot, or deadline panic?

Renters, what made you choose a window AC or a portable AC?

For renters, I think the decision should start with the apartment rather than the brand: Does the lease allow a window unit? Is the window compatible? Do you need to move the AC between rooms? How much floor space can you give up? Those answers usually decide whether a window AC or portable AC makes more sense.
What makes Midea worth shortlisting is that it has a strong option for either situation.
If the building allows a window unit, the Midea 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Smart Inverter Window Air Conditioner, model MAW08V1QWT, is the more appealing choice. It is intended for rooms up to 350 sq. ft., operates as low as 32 dBA, and uses a U-shaped design that allows the window to open and close after installation. For a bedroom or home office, that combination of quieter inverter operation and continued window access solves two of the biggest complaints about traditional window ACs.
The main requirement is compatibility. The model is intended for single-hung or double-hung windows from 22 to 36 inches wide, with a minimum opening height of 13.75 inches. Renters should also confirm that the lease or building permits the bracket-based installation.
If a window unit is not allowed, the Midea DUO Smart Inverter Portable Air Conditioner, model MAP14HS1TBL, is the stronger alternative. It is listed at 14,000 BTU ASHRAE / 12,000 BTU SACC for rooms up to 550 sq. ft. Its hose-in-hose dual-hose design is intended to force hot air out while helping keep cooled air inside. It also has wheels, smart controls, inverter operation, and noise as low as 42 dBA.
The DUO still needs a window kit and exhaust setup, and it takes up floor space. But it offers renters more placement flexibility when a bracket-mounted window AC is not possible.
My take: choose the Midea U when quiet operation and continued window use matter and the installation is allowed. Choose the Midea DUO when the apartment rules out a window unit or when flexible placement matters more. Midea is especially compelling for renters because it offers a well-defined solution for both situations.
Which constraint decided it for you: landlord approval, window compatibility, noise, or the need to move the unit?

Finally cleared out my room and it feels like I can breathe again

Finally, I got around to clearing out my room today 💪, so I have been living here for like eight months and stuff just kept piling up. I couldn't even find a charger without digging for five minutes. And I thought I had enough now its time to fix all mess, so I got up and got rid of a bunch of stuff I never ever used lol, like a humidifier (used it once), storage bins (never even opened), two pairs of shoes (haven't touched in over a year), and a pile of random cables I don't even know where they came from. Every single item was a battle between "maybe I'll need it someday" and "come on, this is just taking up space" eventually just tossed up everything.
For now what's left behind is pretty much minimal stuff only, like my bed, wardrobe, laptop, and a mobile standing desk I almost sold earlier. But now this desk ended up being a pleasant surprise for me. I originally bought it as a drawing board, but work got so busy I never had time to paint. It sat in the corner for almost two months collecting dust, and I was about to list it on facebook marketplace. Then yesterday I randomly tried folding it down and realized it works perfectly as a laptop desk. The height adjusts, fits right next to my bed, super comfortable to use and when I'm done, I just roll it to the corner and it barely takes up any space. Way better than that bulky wooden desk I have had before.
After clearing everything out, the room actually looks decent. I can finally walk from the door to the window without having to navigate around stuff.
Living in a rental is already a mess especially if it's small one, you really have to declutter it regularly. Otherwise things just keep accumulating and before you know it, there's nowhere left to even stand.
Anyone else go through a recent decluttering spree? What's the thing you always struggle to let go of? For me it's always those "only used once but might use again someday" items.

Does comforter blanket combos actually work for couples?

Hello everyone, I keep seeing comforter + blanket combo setups, and I am trying to figure out that whether they are actually useful for couples or just another bedding category with a nicer name lol, so our main issue is that we do not want the same amount of warmth all night. One of us gets too warm under a full comforter, the other wants an extra layer by morning.

And for us the separate blankets work, but they make the bed look messy and feel less like one shared setup. The version that makes sense to me is a lighter comforter as the base, then a blanket that can be added, folded back, or used separately depending on the night. That sounds better than keeping several seasonal comforters, but only if the pieces are easy to manage and not bulky.

Those among you, who all have tried this kind of combo, does it actually help with different sleep temperatures, or do you still end up using separate blankets anyways???

The pre festival table is filling up

Three days out and the table by the couch has become the staging area. Water bottle, the flowers that showed up last week, and whatever I've decided I'm bringing. It all migrates to the fanny pack Thursday night. Last year I packed the morning of and forgot earplugs.
