I'm telling you, literally no one is buying disposible clothes. Even the 1% in west don't just dispose off their clothes. What they do is instead of buying a normal shirt for £50, they buy designer wear or custom made shirts that cost in the hundreds and sometimes thousands each. But those shirts are definitely being reused.

Now if you are going to change the goalposts and say that top 1% is not rich and you are talking about top 1% of the 1%, you would be wrong even there.

Members of the House of Windsor frequently use clothes that are decades sometimes hundreds of years old. Queen Elizabeth II have on multiple occasions wore gowns and other articles of wear belonging to Queen Victoria. The Duchess of Sussex have on multiple occasions been seen wearing clothes that belonged to Queen Elizabeth the first and other Royals.

There are even laundry services that cater exclusively to a wealthy clientele.

OP thinks they buy a shirt and use it for a few days with care but never washing it. And once it gets dirty, they discard it rather than washing it and reusing it.

Obviously elites aren't going to Itwaar Bazaar for their shopping, but atleast in my circle atleast, it has become sort of trendy to go thrifting etc among young upper-middle class folks.

It's also abit brag worthy lately if you get great deals while thrifting.

Not even a Nust student, but what's up with y'all constantly yelling " we did it all for YOU". I mean like yeah kiya hoga, nahi pasanad aya onhain. The freshies did not force you to do this for them. If they did not like it, you cannot make them enjoy it by force. Get over it, seriously.

Molvi encounters in Islamabad - Why do we have the need to assume someone earns haram?

I think you didn't get what I'm trying to say. I meant it more in the sense that he was saying Sportage is bad choice for a vehicle, rather than every vehicle is bad. So if it was a Hilux (a more traditionally accepted car), he wouldn't have made that comment.

WARNING: This vide will make you lose 10 IQ points every second.

Yes internet would be slow for people using vpns because now they are accessing internet from some far away country but that doesn’t do anything to internet. And it won’t make internet slower for everyone else.

Technically it would, as the International submarine cable systems connected to Pakistan has a limited capacity and with enough bandwidth usage, speed would start throttling.

The issue with her statement is the order of the events. She says people started using VPNs out of the blue which caused the increased international traffic which resulted in reduced speeds. But in reality, the government restricted access to many social media sites, which in turn forced people to use VPNs, which then increased the bandwidth requirement. The end result is that even non-social media sites are slow to work on now.

SAT Scores Can Get You a Free Ride to College

Yeah makes sense. I checked around and people do not even know the name of this university. The worth of this degree is pretty much equal to that of a degree mill.

Just checked, this university has a 97% acceptance rate? And the university's QS ranking is also pretty low. I think the only reason to go there would be for the US study experience.

Do you have any idea what is the post-graduation success rate for international students there in terms of Jobs or admission in postgraduate programmes? I feel both of those would be pretty low there.

Inheritance incase of children from two wives.

Yeah the Islamic inheritance system is rather complicated. I am familiar with just the basics.

The deceased wife, if she has no children will receive 1/4th of the inheritance. If she does have children then she will recieve 1/8th of the inheritance. If the deceased has more than one wife, then the 1/8th or 1/4th (depending on whether she has children or not) is distributed equally among the wives.

The rest is then distributed among the children. The distribution is made such that a Son's share is twice that of the daughter. To calculate this, a pool of shares is first calculated. The formula for this is number of shares= number of daughters x 1 + number of sons x 2. The leftover inheritance is then devided by the number of total shares.

Each daughter then gets one share from the pool and each son two.

I'm not familiar with more complicated scenarios such as when one wife has children while the other does not.

Inheritance incase of children from two wives.

For the individuals your figures are only correct if there is only one daughter and one Son. In any other case, they would be wrong. In OPs case, the children total 5, so your ratios couldn't be correct.

Inheritance incase of children from two wives.

The math is simple but I believe your ratios are wrong. Sons don't get 2/3rds of the property, but rather their share of inheritance is twice that of a daughter.

So in a scenario with 5 children like the one above, let's suppose he has 2 sons and 3 daughters. The inheritance left after wife gets her 1/8th will be split into 7 parts (2 sons x 2 + 3 daughters x 1). Then each son will get two parts and each daughter will get one part.

Overall, in this scenario the sons will get 4/7th of the leftover inheritance and the daughters will get 3/7th of it. This ofcourse would change if the composition of sons and daughters changes.

I intend to tell our tv drama writers, directors about how their tv dramas are intoxicating our society.

I thought it was going to be about the same old tired tropes repeating again and again in Pakistani series that you were going to complain about. Instead, it's the few real things portrayed in them that you want removed?

And then your example of a good series is Bulbulay? A series in which two loser good for nothing guys are constantly trying to cheat on their wives, have many racist and derogatory portrayals of other ethnicities, etc?

Initially yes, but for the Olympics he was sponsored by the government and many private companies and went and trained in South Africa under elite trainers.

His struggle period was before the commonwealth games. Since then, he's was quite well supported actually.

Anon gets girlfriend to stop vaping

I'm not familiar with tank sizes for vapes in US, are they normally 10 ml in size? That would make things abit harder. But let's say it's a 50 ml bottle. In that case I can swap 0.5 ml and that will reduce it by 1%.

The same can be done with 10 ml bottle too but you'd either need some very accurate pippette or a a multi step step dilution process.

I'd agree though the story doesn't seem realistic, but technically it's possible.

I assume he could have just been replacing the liquid inside with 0% juices.

So let's say it's a 50 ml bottle at 5%, remove half ml and add half ml 0%. You've just reduced the concentration by 1%. Next time replace 1 ml and so on.
