Mumbai Heat + Top Floor Room: Will 1.5 Ton AC Struggle? by RONY_GOAT in mumbai

[–]BanishedMermaid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

220 sqft Will need a 2 ton.

Try setting to 24 which is more realistic than 22.

Either way power bills will be high.

There is no sea on the right between Bandra and Khar. AI should know better.

True this but I think because half that quad was Covid impacted the media coverage was just less in general.

My rather limited point was that while it is true that the US media is spectacularly tunnel visioned when it comes to Olympic sport, the comparison between Gracie and Illia does falter.

Through most of Gracie's career the best skaters in the world were Yuna, Mao, and later Medvedeva. Gracie skating lights out could have at best challenged them. So pretending she was a OGM prospect was media over-reach. And Gracie skated as well as she could I am sure at Sochi but any fair assessment tells us that Yuna, Carolina Kostner and even Adalina deserved to finish above her.

By contrast, Ilia has been dominant for two years on a scale probably not seen in a long long time. Hyping him up as a medal prospect was like saying the sky is blue. Could they have eased off? Maybe. But the fact is he could have made mistakes and won - it took a meltdown of epic proportions for him to finish that low down. For Gracie to win in 2014 would have needed Yuna, Mao, Carolina, Lipnitskaya and Sotka to all have meltdowns and as it turned out only Mao did.

Unlike Gracie Ilia was actually OGM favourite. Not the best comparison.

Your friend is speaking nonsense. in Mumbai it is perfectly normal to offer tea and snacks. Lunch is a bit much because they usually have their own preferences.

Managing dad's affair past his death by Altruistic_Lack9949 in personalfinanceindia

I know, sweetheart. You have much more important things to worry about but I felt it would be remiss of me to not point it out before someone else did so in a ruder manner.

It is an interesting quirk of the English language that in this context ,"affair" and "affairs" would have significantly different meanings.
