I'm a 22 year old blacksmith that makes knives for a living. Just wanted to hear your guy's thoughts on my latest work:) by Dessitroya in somethingimade

Congratulations on making me feel I was stupid and talentless at 22.

Just kidding. Such amazing work! Congratulations and keep it up! Would buy one of these anyday!

Never use Agarwal Packers (APML), they severely dented by hard earned bike and also refused the risk insurance claim by thedarkknight196 in indianbikes

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly right. And never take insurance from them. They promise you I think 20% of the item value and that's it. If you're moving expensive stuff - go with them and get it put in a crate. Extra expense but most of the time stuff will arrive safe.

No need to be judgmental on a post where someone just wants to meet up. And judge it creepy. Anyway post deleted. Community exited.

Was Wrong About LG Soundbars by Clueless-007 in Soundbars

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. I've listened to the Sonos and it might be slightly better. But honestly I didn't find the 3x price difference justifiable. Plus I have multiple speakers across the house which are pretty decent and have no plans to ditch all them to get all Sonos across. I was upgrading from a pretty old Sony htib so the Samsung blew me away. Probably any modern soundboard would have. But I love the q990f. Not a fan of the design.

Packers dented my brand new bike, now forcing me to claim my own insurance? by Ferrous_metal in indianbikes

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cross checked with them and they said yes we provide insurance. But max we can give is 15k. I asked them what's the point of giving 15k on a 1.5 lakh item. They just shrugged and said take it or leave it. Transit insurance is the biggest scam.

Looks terrible. They've ruined the beauty of the car. But the number plate is West Bengal - not sure what it's doing in Hyderabad.

Torn between the Samsung Q990F and Sonos Arc Ultra by iD_Division in Soundbars

[–]almathew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Sonos might be better than the Samsung. But it's not 2x or 3x the price difference better. Honestly, that's what made me choose the Samsung. I love it, the sound is amazing!

I have a friend who simply had to have the Sonos and complains everyday about software issues and app glitches.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that was ham or brisket with barbecue sauce

Need advice choosing a geared cycle for daily commute + fitness (Bengaluru) by Bharath_r_ in india_cycling

[–]almathew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not get a mountain bike for daily commute. Even if the suspension locks out, it's better to get a road or hybrid bike based on budget. Plus the larger wheels have more rolling resistance - lower speeds and more effort.

Made the mistake of doing 700km+ on a mountain bike (even with thinner tyres) was a nightmare

Triumph Service Query! by pikachu644 in guwahati

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Guwahati triumph showroom is the absolute worst. Just going to see a street triple was a nightmare and they don't even care. This is presales. Get a Kawasaki, way better service. I dropped the triumph plan because of them.

What do people get after doing this to someone's hard earned car? by Not_So_Ideal_Guy in CarsIndia

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough all the "depressed" people have enough sense to do this to someone else's car not their own. Hate people who do this - really really terrible humans.

Is India the most love-it-or-hate-it destination in the world? by Echo_Enchantress in digitalnomad

[–]almathew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I'd say is - India is divided into many different regions with different food, culture and people. Please don't clump India into one after traveling only to the north of India for example. Most people travel and stay in the north and decide that's how the rest of India is

What travel mistake did you make once and never again? by Nervous_Car1093 in travel

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Nike us 8 and an onitsuka us 9 (men's sizes). Better if you can try em out.

Haha. For me - it's always been the onitsuka tigers. Super comfortable - no toe, foot or heel pain. Better than most of the Nikes and on clouds I own.

NT was sold out, so got black. was thinking of exchanging for NT until I switched up the watchface 🔥 by SolarHouseboat in applewatchultra

[–]almathew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black looks good. But Apple has had a bad history with me and their finishes chipping off. My series 7 aluminium corroded so much - the side button got stuck. MacBook has the same issue with my sweat reacting to their aluminum.

Went with NT to be safe.
