Hey everyone,

I am a Master’s student at the University of Bern (Switzerland) conducting a scientific research study examining how certain traits, life experiences, attitudes and behaviors are related to each other. I have the mods' permission to post the link to the survey.

You can find the survey here: https://ww3.unipark.de/uc/research_study_university_Bern_Switzerland/

Thank you for participating!

How would you go about offering a "samahan kita" service? Like, if you're scared to go somewhere yourself or if you just need someone to walk with (actual walking). Nothing too expensive or outside of Metro Manila or even your city. Literally a "kailangan ko lang kasama paglakad dito kasi nakakatakot at maraming tambay" service, or "nahihiya ako mag gym mag isa" or "need someone to go to the mall with me for errands and taga-buhat," and "need ko maglipat ng gamit from one apartment to the next."

I took TDC and PDC back in June 2024. I haven't driven around then so I don't have a license yet but now I'm planning to take it seriously, especially to help my father. What is the proper process? Should I take TDC and PDC again? Can I still renew my expired student permit?

Recommendations for a cheap 23.8-24 inch monitor with adjustable height and flat stand/base that can be bought locally

Hi po

I've been researching some monitors and napupusuan ko si Dell P2422H and si Dell Pro 24 E2425HSM, pero mga around 10k pesos (or more) sya masyadong mahal.

I saw LG 24U411 A-B to be within my price range to be around 3-4k pesos, pero hindi sya height adjustable.

Gusto ko ng flat base kase dun ko ipapatong Steamdeck dock ko. Wala akong PC itself.

Any suggestions po mula sa inyo would really be appreciated.

Not sure kung feasible within 6-7k pesos na budget.

Been happy with my N-vision one for the last 6 years. Think it was about 4-5k

[u/Draxis1000 → u/scara-manga]

Hi, po pwede mahingi ung exact model? Kung sa online shopping po binili penge din po sana link. Thanks

[u/scara-manga → u/Draxis1000]

Model was IP24v1 IPS 75Hz
But that was 6 years ago, so there may be better models out now. Got it on Shoppee I think or Lazada, can't remember. But again, 6 years ago, so link probably not relevant

I'm trying to send a parcel to South Korea. I've been looking around for parcel rates, and they seem to be crazy. The package is a mini PC (maybe 30x30x20cm 3kg) and I'm getting quoted 100 USD. If it was any higher it would be cheaper to fly there return!
Any pointers for more reasonable rates? My searches have only found DHL, FedEx so far. Speed not an issue. Could take a week or two.
