oh the computer one. Haha

I'm just working through the oldest questions

chx

Anything bitcoin should be closed with "we do not deal with scams"

BTW is anyone coming to Vancouver from the USA any time soon? I found the perfect external battery but the seller is not shiping outside of the USA and reshipping would be like thrice the battery

@Willeke yeah it would work for all sites but it's most useful on really busy cluttered sites. i only run into those problems on SO so i posted it on SO. don't mind if it gets moved to SE though

@Willeke: having read through previous related questions they really don't like settings

@chx I made some cash on bitcoin, I'm in favour of it ;)

you can't use a myus box?

chx

@MarkMayo and i won small amounts on the lottery a few times.

@MarkMayo remailing a battery via any forwarder would be ~50 USD at least. That's more than a bit excessive.

Hi everyone.
I wonder if there is any way I can ask ‘what to look out for when buying a second hand smartphone in Taipei’ without it becoming a shopping question. Anybody got input?

Jan

@JoErNanO You didn’t answer the bit about luggage though ;)

JoErNanO

@Jan Lemme check.

JoErNanO

@Jan It is done.

Thanks for the heads up.

Jan

@JoErNanO You’re welcome for the vote up ;)

JoErNanO

@Jan Nice! Helps me stay in the competition.

Incidentally, do you as a diamonded person have any thoughts on my question above, @JoErNanO?

user381237

@MarkMayo One bounty down

A: Expired permesso, but valid student visa

From this Travel SE question: The IATA statement reflects a Directive of the Italian Government's Interior Ministry which allows one to leave and return to Italy with an expired Permesso di Soggiorno, as long as one has the “ricevuta.” You are allowed to exit Italy with it expired. You will...

JoErNanO

15:06

@Jan Yes I do. Unfortunately I cannot see a way to not make it sound opinion-based nor make it a shopping question.

What are you afraid of when buying a smartphone in Taipei?

Jan

15:23

@JoErNanO Not finding the best deal by not knowing where to look and potentially running into a fake. That’s the order of relevance ;)

JoErNanO

15:45

@Jan See, "best" is opinion-based. Not running into a fake might be answerable though.

Jan

Precisely what I assumed and why I didn’t ask on the main site.

It feels I am late posting the answer in the challence, but it is still day one of the two we are allowed. (Even though I am the last to post.)

@Willeke :)

user381237

Why the down vote on travel.stackexchange.com/questions/119076/…

user381237

Was it you @Willeke?

Willeke

It was not me, I have not voted on that answer.

And I did not vote either way as I do not know the matter and did not yet have time to check it out.

And to tell truth, I am not willing to make time to check it out, too far out of my knowledge field.

@Willeke ok

@Daniil regarding your answer to

Q: Is VIP's Fairway Trolley (80cm) allowed for check-in for US trip in Etihad?

I'll be traveling to US next month via Etihad Airways. Etihad's baggage allowance policy states that "all check-in baggage must adhere to max dimensions 158 cm". I bought this VIP bag from Amazon (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07T2DQNGF/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_awdb_t1_RAsEDbHV6RJCX). Adding all the dimensions...

user381237

@phoog Yeah, some airlines check checked luggage

phoog

After the edit, and with the caveat about the first quotation, I thought it was a pretty good answer. I would have upvoted it but you deleted it before I could.

user381237

@phoog I'll undelete it then, just didn't want low-quality contributions.

user381237

Done, thanks for checking on it though

phoog

@Daniil I would just say you might have to pay, there's a good chance you won't, if you're willing to take the risk use the bag and see what happens.
