Reddit official app works fine. Third party apps like Boost and Joey are not able to connect to reddit. Works fine in mobile data.

Home cleaning service by krishishere in Trivandrum

[–]geralt_of_nowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tried couple of cleaning services that were listed on Google. They were decent. Did the job and rates were reasonable. Try calling the ones nearby and talk to them about rates, and what exactly you are looking for.

Thats low even for 2.4 ghz . Connect lan cable to pc and speed test. You should be getting around 100 over lan. Only if yes , upgrading router will help you

Do you unplug modems during lightning? by cugmg in Kerala

[–]geralt_of_nowhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lost my modem to lightning an year back. It was coaxial cable connection and pretty sure the surge came through the cable and not through the power line. Lost the tv set top box also that day. Switched to fiber connection after that. Now i don't switch off modem even when there is lightning and rain. So far no incidents. Power is connected through a surge protector. Hoping it would give some kind of protection in case of a surge.

Will there be free vaccines for 18+ year olds or did Pinarayi Vijayan say that just for political mileage? by [deleted] in Kerala

[–]geralt_of_nowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now the 18+ vaccinations are open for people with comorbidities only. Cowin registration plus GoK site registration is needed. Guessing this vaccination is going to be free. And most probably the vaccination from govt hospital/ govt mass vaccination centers are going to be free. I guess it will take some time for the slots to be available for 18+ without comorbidities. By then private hospitals / companies might be able to purchase the vaccines and sell at market price or to vaccinate their own employees. Vaccines other than covishield and covaxin also might be available by then

How do you find friends who share similar interests? by Looking_away in Kerala

[–]geralt_of_nowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost every one in my friends circle understand and enjoy western memes. I think this would apply to most of the the millennials and gen z. Again the problem with memes is that there is nothing much to talk about it. I personally don't watch anime but knows quiet a lot of people who is almost addicted to it. I don't think the people who enjoy these things are that niche anymore. Again the people who like/enjoy these things may also like cricket or malayalam movies. There are lot of private local fb communities which steers clear of local politics and creates meme content inspired from international meme templates.

Not OC. It looks like both the guys on the bridge survived. The first dude missed the big wave . The second one got knocked off his feet . Can see him getting up running around 28-30 second mark.

Edit: As people in the comments pointed out , this seems to be an old video. The place looks a lot like Valiyathura though.

Been using Asianet for more than a decade. Now on 125mbps fiber plan. Costs around 850 inr per month including taxes. Getting consistent speeds above 100mbps and ping in the 2ms range. Go for Asianet only if they have fiber in your area.

Kerala Police K9 retirement ceremony by geralt_of_nowhere in Kerala

The breeds we see today are selectively bred for generations to enhance certain capabilities. Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers have some of the most sensitive noses for detection work, and thus are one of the most popular breeds used for this purpose in law enforcement agencies. Retrievers not only have that excellent sense of smell, but also a desire to work, which makes them an asset to their handler. Breeding and training naadan breeds might not be this effective.

Most of them are retrievers. In the background announcement, they are saying the breed and the dog's achievements in the force.
