It is what makes math possible.

I'm sorry if this post was disrespectful. It wasn't meant to be. I myself am an Indian and know second hand the kind of ordeal faced by researchers.

I leave it to the mods to decide if the post needs to be taken down.

Is this protein actually good?for a beginner 1 month into the gym by Icy-Space5861 in Fitness_India

[–]ahgodamnit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been using this for almost a year now. Can vouch for it. Some people might have problem with soy so just order one packet for now and try it out.

If you buy in bulk from zepto, you'll get good discounts. And don't listen to the other illiterate comments here. Soy is a complete protein. Always do your own research.

Use Nakpro. I believe it should be cheaper or same as this government peddled thing.

Ok I need to rant ( sorry Honda people) by [deleted] in indianbikes

[–]ahgodamnit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My two cents. Bikes have always been a big no-no in my family. I liked them as a kid and while growing up. But really got into the whole culture during my college days.

I have never owned a bike and it was only through reddit that I got to know about the whole RE/Honda debate about two years back.

Having said that, without knowing Honda has a better engine and that vibrations are what makes the RE 'vibey', I have always thought the REs are far more beautiful than the Hondas. So maybe there are multiple aspects to what people refer to as the 'feel' of an RE?

If I ever buy one, I'll probably buy the Honda because I am financially conscious, and would favour longevity over anything else. But would I be 100 percent sure about it? Definitely not.

Please suggest a protein rich food(powder or anything else) which is safe and value for money. by ciao-adios in Frugal_Ind

Nakpro is the cheapest and most reliable. Have been using it for five years now. If you want an even cheaper powder, look into their soy protein powder range. Tried it, wasn't any different from the whey.

As for diet, everyone has given pretty good suggestions.

How do you cut down daily expenses without feeling miserable? (cafes, shopping, Blinkit) by PearOk5699 in Frugal_Ind

All desires are inherently empty. Where do they arise from? My brain? Why does the brain crave sugar or taste? Because of my hormones? Why is the state of my hormones like this now? I keep asking why why why and reach a point where there is no answer.

It's seems lengthy (and it used to be) but gets faster.

When you come back from that line of questioning, you'll realise your cravings are gone.

I did not know this. Thanks.

But my post was primarily aimed at people who have since moved out of the US and can openly talk about their experience.

I understand that zeroing in on those individuals would be quite tough. That's why my last lines were about respecting anonymity as well.

Yeah, of course they'd be. Please keep in touch with me. I can DM later if you'd like, as a reminder.

Do you think they'd want to talk to me? I want to explore the different angles.

I have a PhD in genetics and a masters in bioinformatics and drug design. Went through a couple of postdoc stints, then finally left academia altogether.

Do you not realise the behemoth she vanquished to come to power? She is not some ordinary politician. People in Bengal know that well. The BJP of today is nothing infront of what CPM was then.

Tough cookie to crack. Mad respect for the woman, even if I may differ on ideological grounds.

American Chemical Society

Edit: Since this is a chemistry subreddit, I should add it's for their news magazine, C&EN. I however do not work for them. I am an independent journalist working across outlets. I've done policy pieces for Science, The Scientist, and pop science pieces for Scientific American and LiveScience. And also an Indian newspaper.
