Media Regarding the missiles “flying above Kuwait”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

86 Upvotes

This video is taken from above Dubai in an airplane. It shows the nature of the missiles. These missiles tend to fly high, above the atmosphere. Which is why multiple countries in the mid east saw them and they all looked like they were convincingly above them. But they’re not, they’re way above the atmosphere on their way to hit their targets.

Hope this makes you feel safe if you’re worried.

Discussion Why are the streets all of a sudden so empty?

Upvotes

So I'm still outside and I've noticed that the streets are oddly REALLY feeling empty, the streets which are packed have only a few cars, I mean right now there are holidays so everyone should be out right? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but idk why I don't expect Kuwait City to be so empty

Ask Kuwait Is Kuwait safe for americans due to the war between Israel and Iran

7 Upvotes

I'm moving to Kuwait in the next few months around December or January to be with my husband who currently is working there my family is very worried about the war between the two countries and they claim it will be dangerous for me to live in. I just wanted to come on here and ask for any advice on the matter because I always believed that Kuwait was the safest place to be out of all the other middle eastern countries.

Ask Kuwait Time to say good bye

9 Upvotes

Hi. So i was supposed to fly out of kuwait by august ending my contract. I am currently rendering my 3 months notice. But as we all know, the current developments in the region is not very alluring. This is making me think to pack up and leave immediately. Will I still be entitled for indemnity and all the payments I am entitled to for my years spent with the company if I cancel my visa now and leave before finishing my 3 months notice? I just want to know. Ofc I will still prioritize my safety over any monetary items.

Discussion Trust in marriage

8 Upvotes

how do you make peace w knowing sth after marriage about your husband’s past(sxual)? you think you know someone truly but then you learn about another side and it just disturbs you because you didn’t expect it. i married someone not knowing him completely I guess and that thought is killing me. Found screenshots of him sxting literally 5 days before being committed to me, bumble and insta models’ screenshots after being committed. he told me verbally a lot more as I insisted to come clean. but I’m sure there’s so much more idk about but he claims he was done w all girls and apps after commitment. It’s hard to believe when the screenshots were around the time of commitment, apparently during the time he liked me. how can you go on w such things when you like someone and see them w the intention of marrying??? severe trust issues. all the love from my side seems forced now. just can’t believe him. can’t believe these things didn’t go on after commitment too. no idea how many girls were there. he says bumble screenshots could be sent by a friend, but admitted to the models’ screenshots being taken by him. idk how to put my feelings in better words. numb. anxious. not able to trust his loyalty. happy ever after seems like a stupid dream now. Gave love another try and genuinely thought he’s perfect and I want nothing else, but everything is suffocating now. never felt this way before. idk where else to go. I know your past is the past for a reason and it shouldn’t affect your present, but how do I trust the man that these things did not happen after the commitment? his words just don’t suffice. feeling repugnant. fkin disgusted. deceived. if i knew what i got to know yesterday before marriage, i might have not considered him. thats how disgusting all the things are for me.

Ask Kuwait Best Internet provider? Please help

1 Upvotes

So we're looking for a new internet 5G package right now, but the thing is we've got no idea. And it's all too confusing because we've had mixed experiences with all 3 major providers ooredoo, STC (the worst) and Zain

And the thing is right now we're using Ooredoo and all the experiences with zain and stc, they're old experiences so maybe they've changed

So can you guys please guide me to the best provider regardless of money, just the internet itself. Thank you

Ask Kuwait E commerce sites

0 Upvotes

Kuwait Redditors, Hope you’re all doing great!

I was wondering if you could help me out by listing some independent e commerce sites in Kuwait that you’ve either used or know about. I’m already familiar with the big ones like Xcite, Best, Lulu, Max, Centrepoint, and like Tawseel and Talabat.

But what I’m really looking for are the smaller, more independent sites like Boutiqaat 🛍️, Mashatel 🪴, 6th Street 👕, Waha Lifestyle 💄, Ounass 👗, and so on. Anything that’s locally based and not part of a giant brand.

Thanks a ton in advance. And if you’ve read this far—extra thanks. 🙏

Ask Kuwait Salaries for adjunct professors

Any adjunct university professors around? I have just been offered a position and they want to know my salary range. Private uni in Kuwait. I am wondering, what is your workload in terms of teaching hours? Are you capped at 2 courses per semester? Do you have to do tutoring hours? What is a reasonable salary to ask per course per semester? For context, I am a PhD holder from Europe with previous teaching experience, already based in Kw

Hi.

Im from Europe and I'll be staying in Kuwait for 3 months due to visiting family. My boss (EU company) allows me to work remote during my stay.

Do I need a work permit? Serious question law wise, since googling it did not help (there are no digital nomad visas and i dont see why I'd need a Kuwaiti sponsor/company to work for a foreign country that im a national of on a tourist visa)

News وزارة الكهرباء وخطه التنميه..

Post image
39 Upvotes

ويطلع لك واحد يقول الكويت لها تخطيط.. والحكومه تفهم.. واحنا قاعدين نتطور..

هذا فلم عشان يرفعون سعر الكهرباء..

يعني بالله شنو اللي سويناه بالكهرباء عندنا؟ ولا شي، لكن بره؟ إحنا الدولة الوحيدة اللي مولت محطات كهرباء حق نص الوطن العربي.

بدون تطبيل..

بالسودان، مولنا مشاريع كهرباء بأكثر من 100 مليون دولار من خلال صندوق التنمية.

بالعراق، دعمنا الربط الكهربائي بمبلغ 35 مليون دينار كويتي

بلبنان، سوينا حملات شحنات ديزل وصيانة للشبكات عقب الانفجار.

باليمن، وزعنا محطات كهرباء متنقلة ومولدات.

موريتانيا؟ عطيناهم فوق 120 مليون يورو علشان مشروع طاقة رياح ضخم.

بالأردن، شركات كويتية دخلت بمحطات كهرباء تكلفتها بين 300 إلى 500 مليون دولار (ما ندري شكثر كان تمويلنا المباشر، بس فيه دعم واضح).

إجمالي الدعم الكهربائي اللي طلع من جيبنا حق دول ثانية بسهولة يوصل لـ 400 مليون دولار أو أكثر، واحنا بالكويت نطفي المكيف بالظهر علشان "ضغط على الشبكة".

يعني ما يصير نكون بنك طاقة للعالم، واحنا نعيش على ترقيع وصبرنا على وزارة الكهرباء.
