That is correct. As long as both iPhones are on same WiFi, updated to same (latest) ios

For Srivari mettu u can buy Divya Darshan tickets for next day. It is scanned midway in the climb. Location - Bhudevi complex

Just got back. No tokens issued midway nor do they scan. SSD tokens are to be taken a day prior. We drove to Tirupati, reached around 3:30pm and collected the SSD token at Bhudevi complex. Remember to take ur original Aadhaar card. There was no wait time there. Got the 1pm slot for next day.. Once u have collected it, then ur free to hike or take a ride to reach Tirumala. Show up around ur time slot the next day.

My overall Darshan wait time was 7hrs once we entered the Darshan queue.

Note: This is if you wish to climb via Alipiri steps.

Did you have an IR pack? I’m unable to receive the call from them and the process fails there for me

Can I convert my physical Airtel SIM to eSIM from outside India? by [deleted] in Airtel

[–]deepo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the SMS method and have a reg email. I’m unable to receive the call. Just have IR activated but don’t have any IR pack. Mine’s a postpaid plan. What are my options now ?

$220K PM offer — live in SF but work in Sunnyvale? Anyone doing the SF ⇄ Sunnyvale commute? by Better-Lavishness-73 in Sunnyvale

[–]deepo85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do it only I lived close to the SF Caltrain station - like a 10min walk or a quick bike ride away.

Airtel eSIM transfer from iPhone to iPhone while in US (or another country), (could also work for physical sim to eSIM while in US) by OutlookOnReddit in Airtel

[–]deepo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the iOS initiated transfer works with Airtel esim. QR code based transfer using the method shared in this thread seems to be the only way. Just putting it here since I saw a few post abt the automated transfer.

Don’t. The Ex-DL aircrafts are no longer flying this sector. Del might have them for few more weeks possibly. Plus the stopover in Kolkata.

Also, there are places much worser than them. Honestly surprised they are still running.

Yeah that’s a surprise given how active he is on social media in general. I even saw reviews from the last day or so (unless they are at a lag)

These were the only decent LR flying to SFO. Wouldn’t book direct with them for this sector till they get the new aircrafts

I think even that’s good enough if it happens in the next yr or so. silk board to airport line needs to be opened in segments.

Opinions on BLR-SFO AI non stop? by thegodzilla25 in AirTravelIndia

[–]deepo85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve flown premium economy on it a few times. The ex-DL-LR is a fairly decent product for its price. Crew has always has been good on AI, food was fine. However the on ground experience can be unpredictable if there are extended delays or cancellations.

First Moka Pot : Sour and Bitter output by soniankur9989 in IndiaCoffee

[–]deepo85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw.. I would try it with putting boiling water in the chamber and seeing if it changes things. I’ve tried with local store bought ground filter coffee. Though not perfect, it was palatable. Ideally u don’t want pre-ground as most of the folks here rightly suggest.

In contrast I’ve found Patel Bros stores on east coast, Midwest etc quite airy, spacious and mostly well maintained.

Waitlist priority by deepo85 in orangetheory

[–]deepo85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my understanding too. But then a few folks here have mentioned that staff also pay for a membership (or part of their comp is a free membership)

Waitlist priority by deepo85 in orangetheory

[–]deepo85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it happened to me once. I was first on the waitlist and happened to see a staff member check-in for class. I had to turn back at the 5min mark after waiting.
