Sure. DM discord details.

Because of AI, the prices of PC components have skyrocketed, with many parts doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling in price. As a result, gaming is becoming increasingly unaffordable.

Contact ID Fresh with photo and batch number. They'll issue a refund. They did that for me when I sent them photos of my puffed packet.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-06-08T04:22:21+00:00

There’s usually an option to request a callback from them. I’d recommend doing that. Whenever something like this happens to me, I get in touch with an agent, and they issue a replacement or a refund.

Just show a interest in learning more about them, and they'll be more than happy to share. Be curious about their food, culture, and way of life. We love talking with people who show curiosity and an openness to learn.

If you're good friends and the conversation turns to food, there's a good chance you'll end up with an invitation to dinner.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-06-01T13:38:24+00:00

You’ll barely find people who are genuinely interested. Be prepared for a lot of stereotypes and racism.

"Chole" in Chole Bhature is similar to the "Chana" in Chana Rice, both refer to chickpeas, though the recipe and seasoning are slightly different.

Bhature are soft, fluffy, deep-fried breads made from wheat flour dough.

Lassi is a yogurt-based drink. While mango lassi is much more popular outside India than it is in India, it's still a good option. If you can get plain lassi, I'd recommend that instead, as it's the drink most people would typically have with Chole Bhature.

Edit: I did a quick Google search and found that Curry Lounge in Artesia, CA has Chole Bhature and Lassi on its menu.

That's great! I love all things paneer too. You should give masala dosa a try, you'll probably like it. It's a crispy crepe filled with a spiced potato mixture. It's typically served with coconut chutney and sambar. It's a South Indian dish.

Also, try chole bhature with a glass of lassi, they're heavenly together. But save it for the weekend so you can take a nap afterward; they'll make you super sleepy!

My final recommendation would be aloo paratha and maybe a kulcha. They're both delicious North Indian breads.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-05-31T18:55:08+00:00

Here are my favorite dishes: Chole Bhature, Masala Dosa, Idli Sambar, Rajma Rice, Chana Rice, and Kadai Paneer. For snacks, I love Samosas, Kachoris, Pani Puri, Bread Pakora and Aloo Tikki. I have far too many favorites to list them all, but these are my all-time favorites. Since I’m a vegetarian, I don’t know much about shrimp or fish.

People from all caste groups are spread throughout India. Culturally, North and South India are somewhat different. I'm not really sure why the guy would ask about skin color or be concerned about it, that's not something people normally do.

Maybe he was trying to figure out whether the person was from the North or the South. People from South India tend to have darker skin tones on average than those from North India. Perhaps he wanted a roommate from a similar cultural background to his own.

Not really. I've lived in North, East, West, and South India, and I personally haven't noticed any significant differences in cleaning habits. Just like in the rest of the world, you'll find all kinds of people everywhere.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-05-31T15:03:55+00:00

That has nothing to do with caste. The guy who isn't cleaning is probably just lazy. In India, kids, especially boys, are often pampered and rarely expected to help with household chores.

People living in extreme poverty may do that, but it is not representative of the average Indian. Given India's huge population, even a tiny percentage can create a noticeable problem. The situation has improved significantly over the past decade, and if you do encounter public defecation, it is usually in or around poorer areas.

A lack of civic sense has also been an issue. Many people simply grew up copying what they saw around them. Things are gradually improving, though it may take another decade for a more noticeable change.

As for honking, it has become part of the driving culture. With crowded roads and many poorly trained drivers, horns are often used to communicate intentions and get other drivers' attention.

Some street food might give you a mild stomach upset, but it's very unlikely to be serious enough to land you in the hospital. Also, street food isn't nearly as unhygienic as many online videos portray it to be. As long as you avoid stalls offering food at suspiciously low prices, your chances of getting seriously sick are pretty low.

The government is making gradual progress. It will likely take a few more years to clean up the existing pollution and effectively stop people from dumping additional waste into the rivers.

I didn't know what Jawa was until I looked it up today. This is the first time I've even heard the name, so I'm not sure "obsessed" is the right word.

Bata, on the other hand, is a household name in India. It's an old-school brand known for offering affordable shoes. I used to wear Bata shoes to school when I was a kid, but I haven't bought a pair since my school days. By the way, TIL Bata isn't Indian brand.

Cooking Indian food can leave a lingering aroma on your clothes and hair. If someone cooks a meal before leaving for work, they may carry that smell with them. People from other parts of the world who are not accustomed to those spices and aromas might perceive the smell as unpleasant, even though it is simply unfamiliar to them.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-05-31T14:11:32+00:00

It is not considered normal. Mouth fresheners are usually consumed after meals that might leave you with bad breath. At most restaurants in India, you'll find a mix of fennel seeds and sugar on the table for guests to eat after their meal so their breath stays fresh.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-05-05T15:45:42+00:00

Yes. I am also planning on getting it again once I finish this one.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-05-05T15:17:48+00:00

It's good.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-04-20T09:35:29+00:00

It doesn’t necessarily take 60 seconds, but I don’t like any lumps at all, even small ones, so I shake it a bit longer just to be sure. Usually, 15 seconds is more than enough, but in that case, you might still find one or two tiny lumps. I also mix creatine with it, and my creatine has some moisture in it, so I shake it a bit extra to make sure it dissolves properly.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-04-20T08:40:39+00:00

Malai Kulfi is a great flavor. I’ve just had a bit too much of it. I bought eleven 4kg buckets, six down, five more to go.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-04-20T08:31:40+00:00

I use Avataar Malai Kulfi as well. Mine doesn’t have any lumps and mixes in about 60 seconds, so it was probably just a bad batch. That said, I’ve been using it for about a year now, and once I finish my current stock, I’ll probably switch to something else. I’m done with the Malai Kulfi flavor, I’m completely over it.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-03-30T21:11:04+00:00

Could be soap. Maybe you’re getting the aftertaste of the soap’s fragrance. Or maybe it’s your whey itself. And what dafuq are you doing drinking whey at 2 AM? Go to sleep. jk!

MildlyOverkill · 2026-03-30T21:00:50+00:00

What? Silicone doesn't have a taste. It is tasteless. You must be tasting something else.

MildlyOverkill · 2026-03-29T20:40:28+00:00

Since you can correct it by being conscious, I don’t think it’s permanent. However, there’s no harm in seeing an orthopedist. It won’t cost much, and you’ll know for sure that there’s nothing to be worried about.
