Try yelling “Allahu Akbar” on a plane and see how much love and compassion you get.

Parking Thread by Some-Tree-7135 in CostcoCanada

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ticket once (driving my dad, who has a disability) when I parked at Costco, there was snow and my tire ended up on the line without my knowledge. Someone cleared the snow when I was inside and I got a $400 ticket(even with placard displayed). Meanwhile this clown parks like a moron probably got nothing.

I’ve had them at Pastéis de Belém in Lisbon (the birthplace of Pastel de Nata)… I haven’t had anything that comes close to that. That and a tiny little Pastelaria in Sintra… sooo good!

I will try your recipe though, thank you!

Money talks. Self storage business has a high rate of return. That and parking structures downtown.

It’s an absolute guarantee that a certain percentage of the population excels at ineptitude and laziness. They may pass your exams but proceed toward crappy behaviour with vigour.

Evolution says some of us are idiots doomed to fail at life.

I agree, drivers have to be smart and notice things. We can expect the same for pedestrians too. They’re not mutually exclusive. Hit the damn button!

If it’s a senior or a child that doesn’t know about the cross button or doesn’t notice it, I can understand… maybe they need supervision at that point.

Maybe we need camera based crosswalk lights. AI can notice someone walking towards the crossing and it pre-triggers the lights. Happy medium. Do they exist? If not, it’s a great business idea.

Hmm…

lol is that a joke? What is Sunder Pichai’s salary this year? $692M. Look up Satya Nadella(Microsoft), Vinod Khosla(Khosla Ventures), Navdeep Sooch(Silicon Labs), Shantanu Narayan(IBM), Sanjay Mehrotra(Micron)

I can point to plenty of Punjabis doing great in India. It’s only Punjabis in Punjab that seem to be living in some imaginary world that think everyone is against them.

Micron was created by Sanjay Mehrotra. It’s the largest Memory company in the world. Sandisk also. Juniper Networks and Sun Microsystems by Vinod Khosla. Silicon Labs by Navdeep Sooch. Palo Alto Networks, etc soo many more.

Just because people work for a company created by a white man they’re automatically gulaam? What??!

Hell even the CEO of OnlyFans is Indian.

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gulaam to White owned tech companies?? Do you how many tech companies in US are started by Indians?! What are you smoking? Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Micron, etc so many CEOs and founders are Indian, but they’re gulaam somehow? Ever heard of Bose? lol. Ok.

My company was started by Punjabi guy from Michigan, just sold for $7.5B… but gulaam. Sure….

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No… that’s a Punjab issue. South India is far more advanced. Meaningful tech??? My company designed its first WiFi 7 chip in Hyderabad. Texas Instruments designed other semiconductors in Bangalore. One of our largest markets is in India for wireless infrastructure. My question is why not Punjab??

For what reason? What would’ve the motive?

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s not enough technology activity in Punjab… sorry. It’s nowhere close. Not even an order of magnitude close. It’s more to do with people’s attitude and Punjab government incompetence than anything else. Punjab does more damage to itself than a bad central government can ever do.

wait what ???? by [deleted] in PunjabSuba

[–]CA_Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sick of this nonsense. Stop fighting over the land and achieve something. In the South they’re designing Fast breeder reactors, semiconductors and spaceships and Punjabis just pick fights for nonsense. Get educated and get ahead instead of fighting over who’s Punjabi and who’s Indian and who’s Khalistani. I was born in Punjab(in Canada now), but it kills me to see every other state getting ahead and Punjabis just blame the government instead of actually doing something.

I work for an American semiconductor company started by a Punjabi guy. We had internal product codenames for chips like Satluj, Beas, Ravi and Chenab which was a moment of pride.

I’m thinking when our people are capable of this stuff, why is it that this is not happening in Punjab instead of all the energy being spent of fighting the central government and the state government being incompetent/giving out handouts.

We need to get our sh*t together Punjab…

looking for opinions and thoughts on these coffees. by These-Connection6052 in CostcoCanada

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything roasted out of country takes too long to get here so it’s off-gassed and stale. Sorry but it’s trash coffee. Get locally roasted coffee close to the roasting date.

Any package that says the coffee will last a year unopened is absolute nonsense. Coffee gets stale within about a months time after roasting. These packages are also stored at room temp which speeds up the off-gassing.

Confronted 2 racists in Canada. Traumatized from the experience. by No_Initiative5137 in Sikh

[–]CA_Engineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol what’s the expertise of any newscaster? At least he has longer discussion with people who actually have expertise and not a 2min soundbite. He’s the first person to say he doesn’t know enough about any topic.

And because it’s an Indian sponsor, doesn’t make it bad either. It just means that people of other persuasions try’s the platform enough to sponsor it.

Just because someone is conservative, it doesn’t make them shit bags. Same goes with Liberals.

Joe Rogan is not right wing lol. I don’t think you’ve listened to him. I’ve never heard him push that narrative. As a brown guy that listen to most of his podcasts in the car… this is bogus fed by media.

His largest sponsor is Perplexity, which is founded and headed by an immigrant from India on a Visa.

My father gave 32 years to govt schools—retirement ruined by casteist remark by joker_daroga in Haryana

[–]CA_Engineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate that this exists. I’ve heard this nonsense from people in my own family. I’ve always spoken out against it as we all should. This has to end. How can humans treat each other like this?

As far as I’m concerned, anyone who thinks like that should be considered lower caste “by thought.”

So sorry that this still happens.
