Their owners are now a little Singapoorer.

Brkdncr,

The cost to drive on the road is probably about the same as the cost to buy one.

About 10 years ago a Chevy Malibu had a sticker price of $120k USD, which included registration for 10 years.

Squeak,

It’s about $120k USD just for the registration now, depending on the car.

MarigoldPuppyFlavors,

Why?

hansl,

In case you’re serious; in most places in the world, cars are a luxury and taxed as such. In island nation in particular, imports are also very expensive in general and import taxes are most of their revenues.

TLDR: tax the rich, poor don’t need cars in sane cities.

Blamemeta,

Nah, thats mainly just singapore and vietnam.

hansl,

A lot of island nations have extreme import taxes on cars. See: every Caribbean island.

dukeGR4,

developing countries always have the highest taxes. i’m not aware of a single developing country that has cheap cars…

Moohamin12,

The cost of cars in this country, you can be sure those guys don’t get poor.

QubaXR, in Which World Flags Have Been In Use The Longest?
@QubaXR@lemmy.world avatar

Turkish flag is an interesting case, as it’s nearly a 100 years older than Turkey.

The design has been used by the late Ottoman Empire, and then adopted when the Republic of Turkey (now regretting to itself as Turkiye) was established.

I’m a fan of whichever one of these makes the cookies crispy on the bottom.

Mbourgon, in Cookie experiments

How do I make it so that when they come straight from the freezer, they don’t shatter but can be gnawed on?

Annoyed_Crabby,

More brown sugar to white sugar ratio i think, molasses helps with the chewyness of the cookie. I use 165g of brown sugar with 150g of white sugar and it still comes out chewy after the dough being frozen.

I just skip the brown sugar entirely. I use all white sugar but with a tablespoon or so of molasses.

Brown sugar is just white sugar with molasses mixed in. Seems redundant to keep a separate ingredient around when molasses does the trick!

Annoyed_Crabby,

Yep! I only have jaggery and i don’t know how to measure those or molasses so i keep brown sugar for that case and jaggery for malaysian dessert

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

I like to keep a jar of molasses since it’s so handy. Oatmeal cookies, pumpkin or banana bread, ginger snaps, etc

Whenever I kept brown sugar, it would always go hard on me.

Mbourgon,

Thanks! I’ll give that a try

logicbomb, in I got the #1 kumquat in my bag

This does look like it was printed on the kumquat. I don’t know whether it’s the case here, but this sort of thing sometimes happens when there is something printed on a bag or the plastic that food is wrapped in, and the ink can get transferred to the food.
