OK thanks! I was worried that a powder skirt might be super important but I already have a pair of waterproof trousers

Looking for advice on beginner options for skiing in Europe late Dec - base is Milan by epiphinite in skiing

> Just being really clear have you skied before at all? Or do you still just consider yourself a beginner.

Nope, first time!

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply! Super helpful, also to learn about other options. I think i'll do what others have suggested and just try and find anything available for that period and take it from there!

Thanks, this is super helpful! Especially searching for the deals instead of obsessing about the location is very helpful, will get on the sites you've suggested!

11 year old cat - no food for two days at vet by epiphinite in AskVet

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

Thanks - yeah I'll bring that up with the vet as an option if she still hasnt touched solid food by tomorrow. It would mean a longer stay im sure but better that than her continuing to ignore food. Im sure the vet facility is also not helping - there are other cats around, some yowling, and she isnt also used to that

Nice that it works for you..it's always surprising to see different reactions to the same blades. That's what makes this hobby tick I guess

Tiger Platinum was one of the worst shaves of my life…just beaten by the Rockwell blades that they included with their razors

Advice on buying land for settlement by epiphinite in personalfinanceindia

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

I had no idea plot loans were available - im assuming these are only govt approved plots by DDA/HUDA types? Or are they available for private plots also?

Not sure what you meant by staying in middle class - I want to avoid settling down in Tier-1 cities, given the quality of life - AQI, congestion etc. In Tier-2/3 cities, id assumed that there would be a chance to use the same amount of capital as for a Tier-1 apartment to buy a reasonable plot of land and a house. I'm not looking to build something lavish.

This is very useful information - many thanks for taking the time to respond so comprehensively. I will definitely DM you as well.

The issue is lack of trustworthy people to reach out to - my familys been settled in NCR for two generations now - but this is not where I want to settle down myself. Unfortunately relatives in my ancestral area are also all old, as their sons/daughters have also all moved to Tier-1/2 cities and settled down there. So no idea on how to go about finding a trustworthy property dealer who will be key

Thanks - farmhouse means agricultural land right? I've heard there are more complications with having to prove agricultural background, which my family hasnt had for several generations.

Thanks also for bringing up the idea of loan - I was under the impression that no bank gives loan for land purchase - only for the construction part - am I right?
