    High mineral rate causing corrosion

    It's not the water that is causing the corrosion to your taps. The problem is the material the taps are made of. It's funny, they chose a type of material that doesn't stand up to water all that well. I've had several taps that broke off with the threaded part stuck inside the pipe. From the...

    How to determine if a neighbor is stealing electricity?

    It could be a faulty MCB switch that trips easily. 3500 Watts is a lot to steal from one's neighbour. Have you tried switching this MCB off at night time? Perhaps you notice your neighbour's lights go dark or his air conditioner suddenly stops. Another option is to ensure that all your...

    'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia' Rallies for Its Caliphate

    You are not being truthful. You claim to have found an example of a case where an unmarried couple was reported to the police based on a new law that criminalizes premarital sex and cohabitation. What actually happened according to the video is that the parents of a 16 year old girl (not an...

    'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia' Rallies for Its Caliphate

    Have you watched the video? The case above is one where the parents of a 16 year old girl reported a 26 year old man for being naked in a room together with their daughter. If found guilty of doing more than just helping her with her homework, he faces up to 15 years of prison for violating...

    'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia' Rallies for Its Caliphate

    I haven't looked into this think tank (Setara Institute), but I did have a quick look at their 'Tolerant City Index 2023'. It's interesting how Deutsche Welle (DW) attempts to find an explanation for why Aceh's cities rank low in tolerance. But of course: it is the implementation of Sharia in...

    'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia' Rallies for Its Caliphate

    Wait, Tennessee has sharia law?!? True, weed is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran or Hadith. The word used in the Quran is khamr. This is indeed best described as wine; however, in fiqh, the meaning of khamr goes beyond just wine. The reason why wine is prohibited in Islam is because of...

    'Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia' Rallies for Its Caliphate

    I assume you mean the Pew Research poll from 2013? The Jakarta Post had an article about it: Seven in 10 Indonesian Muslims want sharia law: Pew study. The title is rather tendentious, and if you read any further: What 72% of Indonesian Muslims wanted was that certain aspects of sharia, like...

    Fine Arts groups in West Java ?

    If your search for art galleries has taught us anything, fine arts is not a big part of Indonesian art and culture. Much of Indonesian art is woven into all types of utensils and furniture. Batik clothes, detailed wood carvings in furniture, silver crafts or things and ornaments made from baked...

    EV in Indonesia

    Except...it is not a Toyota. 20, 30 even 40 years old Toyotae can be seen driving around everywhere you go in Indonesia. My gut tells me that a BYD will be a liablity after 6 years and probably scrap before 10 years are over. But feel free to prove me wrong. A new Wuling Confero is 207jt now...

    Trend JKT; outside entertaining space

    Marriot (Yogyakarta) and other hotels and resorts often have a Kids Club or other child friendly activity centres where parents can have their kids looked after. Swimming pools also tend to attract the little buggers. Try the type of hotels that attend to business people and the ones that do not...

    A new era of world wide poverty

    I assume they mean the amount of rain that fell. From the perspective of loss of life and financial loss, Central Europe has had much worse floods in the past. Modern engineering, new technologies and better forecasting methods have made it possible to limit the scale of this disaster and...

    Adding a single room AC to your house. Reliable unit/pricing?

    Two other things to be aware of, as I learned from experience, is to avoid the unknown cable brands. Sometimes the thickness of the metal cores inside is thinner than what is printed on the outer insulation. Also, some dodgy brands don't use copper but aluminium or an alloy that has a...

    Cold cuts in Malang

    Is the high rent the only reason to take such a big step as to move far away? I imagine somewhere in Jabotabek there must be nice houses for a reasonable price, Jaktim perhaps?
