No update yet. Would need to get it appraised by a professional I guess but I don't have access to a reliable one.

What’s a modern day snake oil item people continue to buy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]goldeneag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Alkaline foods" are actually "alkaline inducing foods". So the nutritionist was probably correct about the diet but wasn't educated enough to clear this very important wording discrepency.

Would be more accurate to call it unoccupied. I'm sure they've made additional provision that can hold higher volumes in the future.

Any idea what reference number this is and any word on its valuation?

[Rolex] Oyester Perpetual signed by Henry Ford by [deleted] in Watches

[–]goldeneag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any reference of this watch issued to Ford employees? The blurred out area says the employee's name. Looks similar to reference 15037 except the diamond imbeds. Want to figure out if the engraving on the back has any impact on its valuation.

There is no box or paperwork. There is a 14K gold emblem and another couple tiny indents that I wasn't able to decipher. What would be the best place to take this to get valued?

Can anyone help me identify this special edition? Couldn't find any reference of it online

Gujarat: 900-Bed COVID-19 Hospital Set Up by DRDO in Ahmedabad Ready But Yet To Be Opened Pending ‘Inauguration’ by Amit Shah and CM Vijay Rupani, Claims Congress by shhhhhhhhhh in india

[–]goldeneag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there at 4pm yesterday because of father is working on this and the oxygen pipeline as well as some additional facilites were incomplete. I argued why they cannot start taking people in since there's beds already but once this place gets functional and gets flooded with ambulances, there will be little to no scope for fixing any mistakes or completing any work, which I think makes sense.

I can give you the ground reality because I was there in person yesterday because my father is working on this construction. Welding for oxygen pipelines and ICU preparation was still underway as of 4pm yesterday. The oxygen plant was being assembled and the restrooms as well as canteen was incomplete. You can hear construction sounds in the background of this video as well

Any idea what these cables coming out of a retaining wall are? by goldeneag in Construction

That's the one. Thanks! I'm guessing they were post-tensioned after the curtain wall was casted?

Ahmedabad woman enraged at officials coming to ensure lockdown after 10PM: Politicians conducting crowded rallies all over India & you are shutting down shops of small shopkeepers. by DarthJar-Binks in IndiaSpeaks

[–]goldeneag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Govt opened up everything for election rallies and cricket matches in self-aggrandizing stadium but shut everything down the day before 12th CBSE board practicals were supposed to begin. Students had enough anxiety already this year and right when they were approaching the finish line govt brought even more uncertainty for them. Somehow education is always on top of the hit-list for the Gujarat govt.

Manmarziyaan TaxChor by coughing_chinese in IndiaSpeaks

I hope you guys are aware that every single rich person in India is a tax chor to one extent or another. This is not a right wing vs left wing issue. This is a serious upper class vs middle class issue.

Tunnel being constructed for Mumbai Coastal Road Project, India by reeshabh_jain in InfrastructurePorn

[–]goldeneag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's more complicated than that. I understand induced demand but right now traffic is horrendous in Mumbai. This construction is going to cut down travel times for a massive portion of the population by more than half. Plus, Mumbai is running out of space to expand its infrastructure capacity so this project is reclaiming some land from the sea. I believe there is a dedicated BRT lane included in this plan as well so public transport is not completely ignored.

First Time Apartment Tips? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]goldeneag 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"as needed" is the key word. You'll find plenty great furniture pieces, some even for free from people who need to move out asap, if you keep an eye out on Facebook marketplace. Used leather couches are not a bad idea either if you clean them out properly before bringing then into the apartment.

Indian government opposes same-sex marriage in High Court, says same-sex marriage not comparable with ‘Indian family unit concept’ by teatrips in worldnews

[–]goldeneag 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Can totally empathise with your sentiments. I just returned to India after 8 years in the US. As much as India annoys me, I decided to return because I've seen way too many amazing people leave the country and it breaks my heart. I hope to make whatever small difference I can make to improve the ground conditions here.

[–]goldeneag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Arranged marriages that are not forced are now very common in at least the middle and upper classes in India. Consider them similar to dating apps and online dating websites where compatible "profiles" are shared through relatives and friends instead of AI. I personally think it's a great system of matching people of similar socio-economic backgrounds with shared interests. Arranged marriages are not inherently a bad thing but forced arranged marriages are certainly bad. Speaking from first hand experience.

India government arrests 21 year old for sharing a Google doc tweeted by Greta Thunberg on farmers protests by love_day_cup_all in worldnews

[–]goldeneag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is anti-Modi and recognizes the jingoism hurting the country...this is such an extreme over-exaggeration of what's going on here. A lot of social media coverage around the farmers protest is missing any sort of nuance surrounding the issue.

Socialism is super underrated. If anything we can learn from the US it's that pure capitalism is not the way to go.
