    How do you guys invest?

    Owning a house involves paying a lot of transaction costs (eg tax, notary), plus a lot of ongoing costs such as repairs and maintenance and also time. Also it is denominated in rupiah so it is also being devalued while the rupiah devalues. The net rent you would get from a tenant would...

    Possibility to work remotely with spouse sponsored KITAP & NPWP

    1. Yes, next time you should find the option for an unlimited merp next time you renew 2. Yes 3. I believe you are only allowed to get an NPWP if you are employed by an Indonesian entity, so this part is probably not relevant in your situation.

    The irony of an atheist's belief in LLM consciousness

    It's funny how all the miracles happened before things like cameras and recording equipment were invented. It's like those ghosthunter programmes on TV, with all the technology at their disposal no-one has ever been able to actually record a ghost. Just a lot of running around in dark places and...

    The irony of an atheist's belief in LLM consciousness

    To be fair he is a person that requires evidence. And there is a lot more evidence supporting the existence of AI than there is supporting the existence of God!

    Indonesian Youth and Smoking

    But this thread is about why millions of Muslims do something that they know to be haram. Are they actually just pretending to be Muslim, and should the official statistics be changed to represent that fact? If Indonesia is reclassified as a Muslim minority country, after taking out all the...

    Indonesian Youth and Smoking

    If they were being consistent then smoking would clearly be haram, because tobacco is a stimulant. However they enjoy it too much to ban it. Apparently it was once banned for a short time in Mecca but then miraculously became halal again when too many people complained. Which makes me think, do...

    Weakening IDR

    Food prices haven't gone up because the government is not passing on any of the increase in fuel costs (yet). However this is also creating a big hole in the country's budget which is another reason why the rupiah is weakening.

    Doing DIY at step-parent's house, is that 'working' ?

    Why would you be on a retirement Visa if you have an Indonesian wife? The spouse visa is way better.

    Highway to hell actually covers the call to prayer quite well.

    How do you guys invest?

    Yes, the rupiah is pretty much in freefall at the moment. Sri Mulyani must be chuckling to herself.

    Aviation info.

    I used it last October and it was fine. Some countries have implemented it without a problem and some have completely messed up.

    We need to buy flight tickets to europe, the million-dollar question

    Another advantage of Emirates is that they have good sleepover options within the terminal building. It's quite expensive but it makes all the difference to be able to have a full night sleep in between two seven hour flights. Having said that if I did it now I would probably be up all night...

    We need to buy flight tickets to europe, the million-dollar question

    The cheapest option is probably to go with Emirates, and hope that by September things are back to normal. In fact they pretty much are back to normal I think in terms of flights, but of course could flare up again at any time. I went on Singapore Airlines this month which was okay but I think...

    The future and the role of Artificial intelligence.

    What if earth is just a ping pong ball being used in a match between galactic deities, and we are currently at the end of the second game in a best of seven match, so the ball has been left to lie on the floor but will shortly be picked up again by one of the deities. No one can disprove that...

    Homeschooling (Pendidikan Nonformal)

    Very interesting. I think sending kids to a school, and then also teaching them additional stuff at home that they might not get from a school in this country is a good way to go. I can't imagine having them stuck at home 24/7 that sounds like a nightmare (for everyone). The only advantage I...

    Iran war breaks Indonesia-Iran ties

    I don't think Indonesia has ever been a big fan of Iran, since Indonesia is Sunni, and they regard Iran's version of the religion as shiite
