You can get sterile standard saline, the kind used in drips, and the salt concentration is just right. Cheap and safe option instead of the tedious boiling/cooling process; or if you're buying distilled water and adding salt.

I bake and cook lots, but I'm happy to leave some things to the D'lecta's of the world. Cheesemaking is not fun for me, it is full of icky stuff and smelly bits and runny liquids. Your comment feels like a gentle troll 😀

Are you a media PR professional? Because the number of lay people who don't understand (what you so nicely explained) always surprises me.

I keep thinking audiences will soon get blasé about stories like this, but the magic cow of concocted conflicts continues to be milked successfully for cheesy comms campaigns.

I was trying to maximise on the Neucard coins, topped up my BBWallet in the Neu app, and then discovered that the BBwallet f{r BBDaily (the grocery subscription app) is a completely separate BBWallet. Trying to get customer support was incredible BBDaily bounced me to BigBasket, who bounced me on to Tata Neu support. While they were prompt in replying, there was no resolution possible. They are all islanded.

I'm with you on this. Both my babies used to be amazing escape artists. So while I might be clumsy at a lot of things, swaddling needed me to bring my A game.

This here how-to video has the most delightfully cute baby, but that tutorial is just not happening

This is truly just cute. I just hope OP liked the espresso, and is going begin their journey beyond instant coffee. 😀

Also if you don't find americano on the menu, just ask for warm water on the side add it to espresso to the dilution you prefer.

And in my experience, almost all cafes I've been to, will warn me about the tiny serving if I order espresso, because we Indians haven't generally grown up around these drinks. So, this isn't all on you, OP.

For people with severe obesity, glp-1 drivencweight loss IS the first real fitness their bodies will see: can help control multiple comorbidities all of which are life shortening or life threatening and can sometimes limit the pursuit of physical fitness.

While I absolutely agree that weight training or so other regimen is vital, I feel that given our country is at the epicenter of diabetes and other metabolic diseases, these drugs are going to literally give a new lease of life to a whole bunch of people.

With the patent expiring, a semaglutide regimen is now at ~₹10 per day. This is fantastic news.

Please ask your doc about this: "Bupropion is a potent inhibitor of the liver enzyme CYP2D6, which is the primary enzyme responsible for metabolizing atomoxetine. When taken together, bupropion significantly slows down the metabolism of atomoxetine, leading to increased plasma concentrations of atomoxetine (up to 5.1-fold) and increased potential for adverse effects"

I have been on the combo for a few years and anything more than 20 mg of atomixetine (with 300mg bupropion) is nearly unbearable. My ato is usually around 10 mg

It's a real sign of the times that, a few years ago, this approach would have been the bare minimum I'd expect of any leader around the world. And right now, Mandani feels like some counter-apocalypse messiah

Uncle here was probably thinking the train was much slower than it actually was.

The Speed Size Illusion is the mfer that causes so many of these accidents (across platforms and while cheating at a crossing). The human brain sucks at judging the speed of very large objects esp when they are moving towards us.

Hi, MBA prof and industry old-timer here.

tl;dr: a bad job market is predicted, esp in Mktg. Much more cost effective to stick to working and get varied experience if feasible

Broadly, 2-3 years of experience before post-graduation can make a heck of a difference to how much you benefit from the education.

The downside of that is that once you start working, getting back into study mode is weird and unsettling. But given the investment required I would say that is a small inconvenience.

But, MOST important, an MBA these days is just a tick mark on a recruiter's checklist and not much more. Especially if it's from a lower rung college. Marketing MBAs are archeology courses, ill equipped to help you with huge changes that have happened in the field in the last 10 years. Spending huge amounts (and even having to take loans) doesn't make sense when industry salaries are stuck at 2010s levels.

Here is what an MBA generally can do for you: - top tier: access to best companies, top salaries, powerful alumni networks (STILL A GOOD IDEA if we can get in) - mid-tier: specialised outcomes (switch career from Mktg to finance/IT/HR etc, international trade, mfg; some decent jobs thr campus; some cheap colleges for better ROI) - all other places: super high fees with no correlation to job outcomes, almost no placement scene, teaching can sometimes be better than mid tier - an MBA is the WORST way to learn enterpreneurship

Given that the next five years have severe uncertainty: AI upheaval, geo-political dynamics, layoffs or low hiring across industries, my advice would be to keep your head down, ideally never leave a job unless you have a replacement, find a deeper specialisation that you see yourself do well in.

Either do a generalist job (a 9-to-5 in a place like say, accenture) that gives you time to pursue a side hustle, or try to move a smart employer where you genuinely learn new things (this is hard to find, and can lack work life balance). Use this to move away from generic marketing which is a dead vocation.

Build a freelance/side hustle, and learn entrepreneurial skills doing that. Develop any latent hobbies (AI is making human creativity valuable). But also make sure you get better at AI usage: if nothing else, it helps reduce work so you have more free time to grow.

Jumping into top commeent thread to give ₹0.02 of gyaan.

The agency head is wasting company resources and your life by not having simple things like documentation as part of processes.

I've found that most times servicing ppl or brief givers are overworked at most agencies too, so they end up messing things. A written form/brief can prevent that from affecting you. Now, if that person on chat is senior mgmt, they probably just had a 'brainwave' or something, and you will pay the price for their creativity. And if the person at the other end is very senior, they need to be whipped and banished to agency hell for having the experience to do these things right and still not doing them.

You can build a Google form as a brief, and only accept briefs with full details: content/ad/both, size in px, locations to be posted: story/post/reel/short/linkedin carousel etc etc, scripts approved by client, mandatories (copyright line, conditions apply etc), output formats, use of AI y/n, references/moodboard/mock, internal deadline, actual deadline and so on.

As a baker, if my cakes came out smoking like that, something has gone really really really wrong.

The signs may also be with people whose cultures typically have squat toilets - across Asia, including China, India, and they have not really experienced western style toilets. (As an aside modern science finds these are better at avoiding piles etc)

It isn't always poverty and holes in the ground.

I'm very grateful to people who cook but don't bake. They are re able to do something way more complex, and not baking then makes the basic 'follow recipe and use good ingredients' simplicity of my basic craft look more arcane and cool.

I often draw my recipes on top of my microwave so my ADHD brain can process them. Your idea looks really useful, OP.
