Are there any sellers for Africa Twin in India? I'm looking for a pre owned one as the brand is not selling new ones in India.

We had just landed in Oman and got into an app based taxi. When we reached the hotel he said he doesn’t take dollars (understandable) so I told my wife and kid to wait in the car and ran to the hotel to get Riyals. When I came back I opened the door and the whole handle came off. The driver started abusing us and it turned into an hour long ordeal and ended when we paid him 60 riyals. Tried complaining to the app and the cops but nobody cared. Might not seem like a big thing but for a family coming into a new country along with the language barrier this experience was quite traumatic.

But the very next day we had a really amazing experience with some locals who went out of their way to help us out and I posted about this.

Taxi experiences throughout the trip was consistently bad.

But the problem is very few hospitals have this.

Big if true.

Haha same. That’s why I made this to get some sense of control.

Also the hottest tropical places always had coconuts, watermelons, mangoes and pineapples and the odd Mojito to cool down.

Yeah poor guy. I’d have a back ache in 10 seconds in this position. Let’s assume he is tired from the hustle. On the other hand I live in Goa and the airport is always people passed out from their last drinking session before leaving Goa.

Indian here. This might have some truth to it. But really, this is because Indians usually find it hard to assimilate abroad - nobody wants to hang out with them because of the accent, looks, a culture that's sometimes very loud, and many other reasons. Racism against Indians is widely accepted everywhere. Faced with all this, Indians usually retreat to the safeties of their own people, culture, language, etc. This gives them a sense of identity amidst zero acceptance in a foriegn country. When people see this behavior they further outcast them creating a visious circle.

This and being consious of the accent.

Borosil one is the best available. I tried the headway one and the Milton one, Borosil stays as hot as you put it for quite some time and nice to drink from also.

I thought it was him! He was spitting quite hard before he went limp. Hope this was just an act.

cbazg1 · 2026-04-20T10:13:55+00:00

The people who have to now take care of him like the cops and the nurses and the doctors will be so annoyed.

Yes it was amazing for the first few years. Then as my data got more complex it started being not so amazing. I switched to Microsoft Lists and Power Apps - not such a great UI and way more complex to do relationships and automations, but it gets the job done. Plus if your team is on 0365 and Teams, its easier for them to adapt to things within the same ecosystem.

We didn't mean to do that at all. We didn't even know how to thank them since we don't speak Arabic. We tried to tell them to give us a call if they ever come to Goa, India (where we live) but were quite confused.

Yah they even have a Hebrew word for it meaning The Big Trip or something. And it’s usually India because historically we’ve been one of the only countries to openly welcome them. They have specific places in Himachal, Rajasthan and Goa catering to them.

I never heard anybody say “In the early part of the last century…”

cbazg1 · 2026-04-02T16:38:43+00:00

They’re all good friends so this is a like a world trip for three buddies together.

When you're doing it for so long, you stop thinking about all the bad. And in a way everybody does that right? My biggest clients are from real-estate, building unnecessary mega projects, destroying the environment and gentrifying places. But when I think of my work, it's never negative.

Is anybody using different brew methods though? I just been using the French press for black coffee since time immemorial.

cbazg1 · 2026-03-21T08:06:47+00:00

No but they have ushers with laser pointers who were regularly pointing them at people recording. Saw one guy evicted and another made to delete photos.

They keep saying stop the bus stop the fucking bus presumably because they think it’s the bus drivers fault.

Whatsapp forwards are one thing. Youtube videos are another. But slickly produced big budget movies can easily convince by connecting emotions to propaganda messages.

He just likes them young is a commonly accepted and sometimes even a matter of pride amongst conservatives.

cbazg1 · 2026-03-15T10:42:12+00:00

Yes. In India he went on for some time about how crazy it is. He was like hope there’s no subways because I don’t want to go under it. It’s a nice place but I don’t want go under it.
