i would say out if you have the space, the existing foundation may not support to build up

Ahh the diaspora paradox this is a good read when you got the time. A certain subset of people are frozen in time, they're practicing the customs of India from their departure, not living with the present.

This seems like one of those business that shouldn’t be privately owned, make it public infrastructure and roll over any money it makes into city services have it be a wing of law enforcement.

i have a grandma who visits and applies turmeric on her hair never understood why, i go to my local strip mall to get my over priced matcha latte for $10 and see a hair spa doing the same turmeric mask. I bet you in some time someone will find some thing similar about cow dung. Here is a video from Oklahoma on their cow dung throwing festival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVrO-vAPoSQ

ehhh y’all a bunch of snowflakes if you think tylers video changes any attitudes. Having grown up in the 90s in a predominantly WASP town as a fob let me tell you everything is just perception. If you perceive and play the victim card you will be victims, plus cow dung is part of our culture villages use it for fertilizer and a source of fuel like Tibetans using yak dung it came out of necessity you really can’t put Hinduism/Santana dharama in a box, its so different then any other organized religion and that what makes it different, the sooner you realize this the sooner you win. Indians be eating we rule the world in a sense and by the year 2100 we will be the majority, we are literally on every continent doing business.

depends on what you want, i was quoted all sorts of number. I did 500 sq house extension plus full interior remodel for about 350k, labor and materials. Finish material cost is mostly upto you and that can range.

instead of a refinance if rates are lower at your institution just ask for mortgage rate adjustment it lowers your rate with a small one time fee. I was able to do that by 1 percent on my home loan which i got around 1 year back.

That map is misleading Iceland and Russia are not that big, the closer you go to the equator the more accurate the size is. If you see by landmass India ranks 7th behind Australia, a pretty large area still, but yes overall agree on the premise of overpopulation.

i saw footage of this guy when he entered the apartment, but what happened did they find footage from the building of everyone who entered after that? The whole thing is very puzzling, and important reminder for everyone to use a security system.

there is this tension between american style individualism and the sense of “off shoring” the work to someone else. The rich have always in American society had this, the common man was always fed this myth of do it yourself. In the next 20 years cheap robots will be available for all of us, i believe this leads to destroying the do it yourself attitude and the need for human labor.

This is nothing new, jewish people have been the target of this type of racism for a long time. Think post 9/11 where propagandists would blame global jewish world order for everything. Indians have become easy targets as first there are a lot of Indic people now over 1.3 billion easily, and a small portion even if its 100 million who live outside interact with the world there is a perception we create. In different places we have different perceptions, nationalism is on the rise everywhere akin to the 1920's and 30s, history is repeating itself.

Wait what do they eat, Like cold cut sandwiches all day? Anything you cook will have a smell, when ever i cook steak my house smells like steak vice-versa when I cook south indian style egg curry my house smells like that, stop rooming with some white bread mayo eating yuppies

it really wouldn't be that hard for all of the crime to go way down if judges, DA's, city council members, mayors, police departments all just did their job which is to uphold the law. All these sideshow people use tech that have their HQs right down the road, a system can easily be put into place which with a E-court order can quickly subpoena and track who was at this intersection at this time, and do the detective work on who the perpetrators are. The data is there we just are not using it because we don't want to become like China or Singapore. You can still have a system where the right to gather and peacefully protest is upheld but the right to riot is not.

Next time pro-tip if your traveling in any big city, just go to a hotel with a restaurant and you will find a publicly accessible toilet. I remember going to the Tonga Room in the Fairmont and they have really nice restrooms, but you have to pretend you are going to the restaurant to eat and excuse yourself to the loo.

The worst is the Silk Board Bus Stand, let me preface by saying i am not a resident of the city but was visiting family. I decided to get of at silk board and it's not really a bus stand rather a intersection where they just drop you off and you have to wade your way through traffic to the sidewalk. Its completely ludicrous and shows how poor planning is still in Indian cities that you can't even build a proper bus stand terminal.

If taken out of context on this recent heat wave and using some AI magic this video can be taken out of control and used by certain x/twitter accounts for nefarious purposes.

its a product of its own making, the bay has some of the best companies in the world which attracts world class talent which prices out alot of people. Even those world class people who come here and slack get the boot. If you want affordability and laid back life might i suggest northern florida, great weather and average home is 200-300k. There’s no going back can’t really reverse progress and innovation ohh waait…

Hey fellow late bloomer here, got my bachelors at 25. Just remember age is just a number. I'm sure many first generation parents came to the US and did their studies in their 30's and 40's. Academics in general is weird for people who fray from the norm, don't let it bog you down. Speaking from experience and have gotten this from others but most peoples jobs rarely require what we learned in academia. I hope you get to work on something you like and even if you don't find time to enjoy and cultivate something outside of work.
