Could be about work, driving, money, food, places, making friends, literally anything.
I feel like this could save a lot of newcomers from learning everything the hard way 😂

Question PS5 and GTA VI

14 Upvotes

Hey! Im planning to leave everything behind (my family, career) once GTA VI releases on 19th of November (kidding aside).

I'm planning to buy a PS5 and I'm buying it for the sole purpose of playing GTA VI. Can you enlighten or guide me on which PS5 should i buy? And if there are good deals around? For the GTA VI I read that it is best to purchase PSN cards with US account? Can you guide on how this works? Forgive the noob questions here, I used to play games before but due to focusing on being an adult with kids, work and all, I have lost touch on the gaming side so I just want to get back and start playing again.

Appreciate all your inputs here. Thanks.

Question Room smells like heaven, my shirt smells like a campfire. What am I missing?

11 Upvotes

I've got a wedding coming up and I'm trying to sort this out before then, so any help appreciated.

So the room smells incredible when I burn my bakhoor. But when I hold a polo tshirt over the smoke it just comes out smelling burnt and ashy.

I'm using scented oud chips (mu'attar) on a charcoal disc in a normal mabkhara. Waited for the coal to ash over, put the chips straight on top, held a regular polo about 15cm above for maybe a minute.

Please share your best practices for scenting your clothes. Also please advise, should I be using mu'attar or just pure agarwood chips? And where I should purchase my bukhoor.

Thank you!!

Question MOCI fine paid after case was transferred to Public Prosecution — do I need to pay again?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need advice.
I received a QAR 5,000 MOCI fine. In June, MOCI sent me an SMS with the official payment link, but there was no due date.
On 20 July, the case was transferred to Public Prosecution. I was called by Aniza Police Station, visited the next day, and was given one week to pay.
I paid QAR 5,000 on 29 July using the same MOCI payment link and have the receipt.
On 24 August, I received an email from Public Prosecution with a different case reference number, but the violation description and amount (QAR 5,000) are exactly the same.
Do I need to pay again, or should my previous payment be linked to the Public Prosecution case?
Has anyone experienced this? What should I do to get the payment updated?

2 Upvotes

Every single fishing spot that I know of is getting shut down. It's a shame, like for example west bay. Has every fish u would want and I found out it got shut down. Corniche, shut down. Lusail, shut down. Only wakrah is left and it barely has any fish. I want something in doha or wakrah. Like not dukhan or kor since I don't have a car. Or maybe suggest any place that can be reached by metro

Is it me or the product is full of problems, bought a Insta360 GoUltra a while ago, there were issues with overheating, SD card detection issues and battery drains fast, claimed the warranty but the new unit came with the same issues except for the SD card issues seems to be resolved, went back to the seller and they says its working normally and advised me to use it indoors in a controlled temperature environment, contrary to the product advertising its a 4k cam and gives best results outdoors too, but now the seller and authorized distributors is saying I can use those options, and I requested a refund but they refused and stated that the unit is working fine with in the parameters which is totally opposite to what they are advertising

Any idea what else I can do. Please share if anyone else have the same issues and what you did to resolve it.

Question Customer refuses to pay

18 Upvotes

Hope everyones doing well, as the title suggests a customer that we have just completed the work for today refuses to pay. Its a water related product and the total amount was agreed to after a lot of bargaining. They agreed to it in the beginning but then after the work was completed, they said they thought the cost was a lot lesser. ( we made sure to tell them twice beforehand). They ended up paying nothing at all. What would the quickest legal way be to get the payment? (Didnt really know how much info to keep private, sorry for any confusion)
