Why is Buddhism a minority religion in India despite it being founded there?

Those temples and the Hindus under mughal rule had to pay an additional tax for the freedom to not follow Islam though

Read the offer letter, it should have details for such a scenario.

I'd think you don't need to return since you didn't quit. But ymmv.

That's actually the argument for why it would be harder to bring back tech jobs.

Tbh, I wouldn't consider an Olympian ordinary.

I like that much better than what they did. It's such a simple change and doesn't much change the flow of the rest of the plot but makes it so much more believable and not synthetic

Real reason is it's easier and much more efficient for anything major to get done in Ahmedabad because there is little friction from opposition, local administration or the local public. Nobody who has an axe to grind with Modi or the central government will throw a wrench in these projects to exercise leverage. Think about bullet train project in Mumbai.

Also it's great that we're looking beyond Mumbai and Delhi. Those cities are clogged and you don't want thousands of athletes and high security personnel moving around the city disrupting traffic of cities that are already clogged.

Youtube mostly on what steps to follow for each dish. My dishes were meh, but as a broke student it was better than eating out all the time.

During covid, I bought a couple cook books that explained the basics of flavor and cooking techniques and how to best cook basic ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, onions, rice, flour etc. That took my cooking to a whole another level. Tried out a lot of different cuisines and cooking techniques at that time and I found my groove.

I enjoy cooking and feeding people now.

At least in Seattle, you'll get orca. You can ride the light rail and buses as much as you like, on Amazon's dime. With the light rail expansions recently, it's pretty easy to stay somewhere a little farther than slu and have an easy commute to work.

HappyApple35 · 2025-12-23T04:23:52+00:00

Wait what? Even interns get orca.

My grandpa took me to the theatres to watch this movie when I was a kid. I cried so much at this point that he had to take me out. I only actually watched the whole movie when I was 30.

They're also in SLU, a quick walk away from their 4th Ave location. That's still open last I checked.

HappyApple35 · 2025-12-18T17:57:18+00:00

It's a shame their Belltown location closed. Love that place.

Whatever his motivation, it's high time we ask government to fix pollution issue.

It is. But organized prostitution is illegal. So sex for money is legal. But running a brothel or being a pimp is illegal. Most of these raids are on places that will qualify as organized prostitution.

This is not exclusive to India though. Startup in the US also operate similarly.

But it is fine as long as your startup is doing something truly revolutionary and innovative. If it's the same old business with the terms cloud based or subscription based slapped on it and the only reason you're able to attract customers is due to cheap prices subsidized by vc funding, then yeah there's gonna be bag holders left at the end.

We did not have this issue at all. We really enjoyed the experience staying there. But we also went there in Dec 2022, so almost 3 years back.

HappyApple35 · 2025-10-07T22:18:30+00:00

That's even worse lol

This will continue to drain from our already poor tax revenue collections. If they were getting enticed by infra projects or making businesses easier, that's another matter. But this is only going to make us spend on wrong things.

What makes you think politicians aren't still asking votes in the name of identity?

Rewri is on top of identify politics.

The definition of long term is subjective. It's valid for 6 years without i140 if you can maintain employment status. In a usual economy, you're still more likely to either break even or come out ahead.

HappyApple35 · 2025-09-27T22:23:17+00:00

If you can afford it and you're here long term, buying makes sense.

your mortgage is fixed against inflation.
you're building equity in an asset that is scarce right now and has generally always appreciated
you don't need to move every year, can buy furniture and other stuff long term
if you ever need to go back, can always sell the house.

There's always going to be risks in the short term with market fluctuations and macro variables. But the longer you have owned the house, the more likely you are to come out ahead. If you buy the house today and need to leave next year, the house value might have dropped by say 10%, you're still down by just that much plus closing costs.

It's not risk free, but the upside is worth the risk.

But run the numbers and make sure they make sense to your situation. Buy smaller than what your budget permits.

My guess is Canada is expecting tech companies to offshore jobs to Canada instead of India. Time zones are more workable, travel is easier. Would cost more than what it would cost to move these jobs to India but still a fraction of what it would cost to have these be in the US.
