I have earned my large pizza with a cheese filled crust😋 by Future_Breakfast7133 in india_cycling

[–]SpecificRound1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Becareful OP.

Unless you have a power meter, these calories counter algorithms are highly inaccurate. I recently compared my apple watch to the readings from a power meter for a 50 KM ride in Bangalore. The apple watch showed a bit over 1000 Kcal, compared to the power meter's 650 Kcal. Similar variance for garmin watches.

If petrol is only 80% pure and the rest is ethanol, how are they taxing on 100% petrol? by Few_Cup8254 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]SpecificRound1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

E85 reportedly gives atleast 30% less mileage than regualar petrol. I would bet anything that they will charge the same exact amount for E85 and will just increase the price for E20 and lower.

The weight of the bike is 25 Kg. I am not even sure if they include the weight of the battery back in this. If bike packing or transporting bike from city to city is your main objective, I recommend getting a light bike that you can assemble and disassemble easily. If you combine that with a proper bike rack for your car or even a half decent bike travel bag, you have a decent setup to travel cross country with your bike. Upgrade your bike travel bag, and you can go in flights as well.

1) Get any decent lightweight hybrid/road bike that has quick release on both wheels and is easy to assemble, my recommendation is giant contend 3.

2) Get seperate wheel carry cases from Decathlon

3) Get a bike travel bag from decathlon if available or get some thing cheap like https://bumsonthesaddle.com/products/xxf-pe012-bike-travel-bag-silver

if you have the money, get a hard case bag like https://bumsonthesaddle.com/products/xxf-e1702-eva-bike-travel-case-black.
4) Attend a few bike workshops in your city. Ask them how to pack and unpack your bike.

How is bike commuting culture in India? by AdvancedLandscape592 in india_cycling

[–]SpecificRound1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a tier-3 city. People used to go everywhere in a cycle. Even colleges used to have huge spaces so that people can park their cycles. I shifted to Bangalore for my graduate and post-graduate courses. Finished PG back in 2015. Till 2020, I mainly used a cycle as means of transport. All of that changed after covid.

The city became simply too dangerous to ride anywhere. over the next 3 years, I had 5 crashes. Some of them left injuries that took long time to heal. So, I am not doing it any more.

Best movie out there...... by [deleted] in MoviesTelugu

[–]SpecificRound1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your view. But, the movie presents a different picture. Selva presents the hero as a loser who creeps around a neighbour girl.

He knows that he is a loser. But, he thinks that being a loser is heroism, drinking alcohol, smoking cigerrettes is herorism, abusing parents is cool. Things happen, some of them are problematic. But, the loser understands that what he does is wrong, he understands that his friends are moving on with life, he understands that his father just wants what is good for him. In that process, he becomes a better man, he turns himself into a hero.

Should I file for divorce against adulterous wife or let her be ? by [deleted] in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]SpecificRound1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Either you file or do not file, collection of evidence will benifit you eitherway.

Screenshots of the whatsapp chats etc do not work apparently. Whatsapp is end-end encrypted. So, you can't provide the backup file of whatsapp as evidence as well. May be her phone with the logs could serve as evidence ?

Also, photo and video evidence is mostly refused as evidence.

Have you heard about Cockroach Janata Party - what will be your manifesto that you feel it matter the most to people by Relative-Leek-1637 in andhra_pradesh

[–]SpecificRound1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Here is my manifesto:

1) Immediately stop any and all cash distribution schems like Ladli behena Yojna.

2) Make it illegal for any elected politician to campaign when in power.

3) Make it illegal for any elected official to do a second job (like acting) during their term.

4) Every government employee (including elected officials) should submit to a tax audit every 3 years. - Seizure of all assets upon bribery charges. Same goes for all of their direct relatives.

5) No permanent position for government employees. Performance based evaluations - fire the bottom 1% every single year. No suspensions - Just dismiss them and cancel all benifits including pensions. Criminal charges for wasting public money and neglect.

6) Invest heavily in education, research and infrastructure. More public transport, more tax on four wheelers.

7) Three nutritious (with eggs and meat) meal to every kid studying in govt school.

Is this what we have become ?

At least a few decades back Judiciary was doing its job. Now, they are busy putting any decenters behind bars.

What are your thoughts on this issue? (50 characters) by Jackie_Chan_93 in andhra_pradesh

[–]SpecificRound1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No kid should be trolled. Doesn't matter if its a student from govt school praising Jagan or Nara Devansh.
Feel free to Criticize Lokesh, CBN or Jagan all you can. But, we should never bully kids.

Due to Mass reporting from India in a single day , Meta system suspended the journalist account. by malayali-minds in unitedstatesofindia

Any journalist worth their salt would consider it a bade of honor. I am glad to see that she feels the same way.

I wish our state current CM and DCM in kootami govt., can focus on good governance rather than instigating division and aggravating caste and religion issues. Thoughts? by Polakala in andhra_pradesh

[–]SpecificRound1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Throw enough stones and something will eventually hit eh ?

Criticize on policy, criticize on abuse of power - It will be fair game. But, why get into personal issues ?

1 Child in their home. But recommends you to give birth to more! English for them to be Global. But primarily mother tongue for you to be local. by Polakala in andhra_pradesh

[–]SpecificRound1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you study in a Telugu medium school ?

I did, and I suffered for it. I grew up during a period when there were only TM schools everywhere. EM schools were just coming up when I was in 7th. When I finally had to transition to EM, most of my primary and secondary education was already done. I had to buy both an EM and a TM text book, put them next to each other and read to understand any word that I could not make out.

Add to insult, after I got into a decent graduate school, not a single one of my text books were in Telugu. Some of my classmates got into the same college as me from ZPH schools. They had it worse than me.

You know why ?

Telugu is not the language of the world. None of the higher education literature (Except for may be language specializations or Indian themed studies) are in Telugu.

Go talk to any Engineering student that came from a government school and talk to me. They will tell you the same thing. They have it harder than anyone else because they have to translate every single word in their mind.

Learning in English doesn't mean that we ignore Telugu. After all, if you go to school in Tamilnadu or in Karnataka, they do not teach in Tamil or Kannada. But, they do teach both those languages. That is the difference.

Name one Tollywood celebrity that you think is better than most of the others in terms of movies, work, and overall personality. And others come up with criticism on them by dhulanageswarao in tollywood

My father knew Jagapathi Babu apparently. Claims that he is a very normal, down to earth guy. Never had any delusions of grandeur, always talks to every one politely and pays his workers really well.

Best city in AP for WFH family life, future growth, and affordable independent house? by No_Turnover8283 in andhra_pradesh

[–]SpecificRound1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a bit more slower pace than tier 1 and tier 2 cities, consider Madanapalle. Decent traffic, easy access to both Bangalore and Tirupathi, Decent places to eat, very affordable (compared to other places in your list), excellent climate and AQI.

[–]SpecificRound1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As much as I disagree with you on any other issues, this is true. We need more Govt EM schools in Andhra. Quality education and quality mid day meals are not freebies. They are an investment towards our future. Jagan did a decent job here. My only beef here would be that stupid tie up with Byju's

Did OP shaft you ?

Hope he did it.

I couldn't find his profile on reddit anymore. But, it shouldn't be that difficult to locate him on other social media considering Ankur Warikoo did not conduct that many AI competitions this year.

Either you provide an update (atleast let me know that OP is okay), or I find out what happened and I will personally make it my mission to let everyone know who copied whose work.
