2·2 years agoI’ve got about 8 hours, but I also live on the opposite side of the earth +12 hours, so we’ll see if it’s bound to UTC time 😂

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Running With Scissors Studios gives permission to pirate gamesEnglish
2·3 years agoSame in Vietnam. The average gamer demographic makes like 15k-25k VND/hr. That’s like $.60-$.1.10 an hour. So 55-110 hours of labor for a video game. Everyone here is a pirate, and rightfully so.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
2·3 years agoSteam, since they have regional pricing and support in my country.

World News@lemmy.ml•The price of rice is skyrocketing, and it's pushing millions more people towards starvation
101·3 years agoI live in Vietnam, and I’m here to tell you that bugs and rats are more expensive than rice. I’ve eaten them all 🍽️

36·3 years agoIn Vietnam we’re losing crop because of saltwater backflow on the Mekong. Dams have been built in several places upstream and all the reservoirs are being filled.

Technology@lemmy.world•Research Firm Claims Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gasEnglish
2·3 years agoOh yeah, absolutely. When I was stateside I put on better than 30k miles a year. An EV wasn’t a viable vehicle for me (for work anyway). Must people I know aren’t that though. Including the charger price as a constant is what inflated this, as well as commercial charging.

5·3 years ago…how? Like, it cost $30 (10 gal) to fill my petrol car in the states. Even if I was using 150kwh in electricity, at my power rate in Wisconsin ($.13/kWh), it’s $19.95. I live in Vietnam now, and pay 2500 VND per kWh, and petrol is about 23500vnd/litre. I have an electric moped that goes 110km/charge, and has a usable capacity of about 0.7kwh. I rarely empty the battery, but even if I did it daily, it would be .08USD/day.
I’d like to see the math crunched on this.
Edit: I found the math. It’s dishonest. Shocker.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the "Joe Shmoe" of different cultures? Or the "John/Jane Smith"?
18·3 years agoIn Vietnam, I think it’s just most names 😂. Anh Nguyen is probably a good example. Most Vietnamese have the last name Nguyen. The national naming conventions rival that of religious families in the west. Think, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Anh, An, Thanh, and Minh. Women are the same, but named after things considered beautiful, Tuyet, Hong, Pham, Van.
Funny enough, many names aren’t always gendered, so I’ve met a decent amount of couples with the same first and last names. An Thi Nguyen, and An Van Nguyen is a couple that comes to mind. I dont have to worry about doxxing, since I bet that exists over 1000x here.

3·3 years agoI can confirm, living in SEA, that the right can also roll coal.
Yeah, however, they guy who installed it was a shoeless Vietnamese dude, smoking a cig in my bedroom. Also, with the gpon from the company, I could only hit about 180 down. I have a house in Wisconsin and I pay 89.99 for 900/30.
400/400 Viettel in Vietnam. I pay 2.5m/VND a year. About $114 US.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?English
3·3 years agoI live in South Vietnam. I stay inside for the hours between 12 and generally 3-4. If I’m outside during those hours, I stay still as much as possible. Always have a drink: lite tea is common here. Avoid direct sun, cover exposed areas of skin when traveling. Evaporative cooling is your friend. You can keep a small spray bottle of water with you. Fans heat up a room if the room isn’t vented, so keep the fan on, but crack the door if you don’t have AC.
I’m originally from a city quite close to Canada, known for harsh winters, and now I live in a place where 40c is common. If the temperature gets too high, or you begin feeling sick/dizzy. Find a place to cool down and hydrate. Heat stroke is no joke.

We used to call it your “insurance score” when I worked insurance about 10 years ago.
