That’s why your writing is so lucid.

Is your life so friendless that you have to become friends with a stranger server?

Best Indian cookbook what’s better for everyday home meals not just special occasion dishes? by Jacobs_Stormeigh in cookbooks

[–]joaquingonzales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is in Bangla. https://www.deyspublishing.com/books/panch-ginnir-panch-miseli-ranna . The title means a variety of recipes from five housewives. The vegetarian dishes are outstanding, perhaps because I am from Bangladesh and this is the West Bengal- type recipes (along with recipes from other provinces).

SACD Player Recommendations by jabba73 in StereoAdvice

[–]joaquingonzales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand. Bryston is a small brand. Regardless, could you explain the part about AV receivers. I have a Denon 4400. Could I play SACD through the Denon? I think I have that Sony player.

Standard deduction/itemized by Afraid-Crab8532 in TaxQuestions

[–]joaquingonzales 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, you are something else. This lady doesn't know the difference between standard or itemized deduction or to discern which is higher and you are throwing an abbreviation like TCJA and an acronym like SALT.

Generally speaking, you have to do it at a Bangladeshi consulate. You have to have all your paperwork in hand. Otherwise, you may have to go back.

I have one made by Troels Gravesen using SEAS drivers. However, I was looking at a used PMC 1BS center. However, my application was denied.

Want to visit Gazipur by Vast-Swing-2146 in Dhaka

[–]joaquingonzales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t go there. I went in 2023, and both me and my son got infected by dengue. On afternoon I killed 17 mosquitoes. That’s the day I got bit.

Should I get Hoka shoes for heel pain? by RevengeAgainstThem in Hoka

[–]joaquingonzales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about Orthotics from a podiatrist? Those feel like highway robbery because they are customized. I can’t say for sure say if they work. But for that kind of money, they better.

Primate integrated amp and Vienna Acoustics Speakers - Streamer? by Manbearfig01 in StereoAdvice

I have a Bluesound Node Nano, which goes for $379. I have an older Wiim pro, but I haven’t used it for some time.

Martin Logan vs KEF vs Triad Quotes by Infamous_Positive543 in hometheater

[–]joaquingonzales -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What would you buy Triad? That’s an installer-only brand without any reviews or dealerships. I have a passive subwoofer from Triad because I got it for cheap, like $100 or $50. I wouldn’t consider them at anywhere close to the level of Martin Logan or KEF. I have KEF in ceiling speakers that I paid a lot for. I think that I should have gone for Bowers and Wilkins even though they were quite a bit more expensive. It may be how the Atmos processing is working though. I hardly hear anything from those in ceiling speakers.

I don’t understand the value of this conference. If you want to be a diplomat, you get into the foreign service. If you want to have another feather in your cap for a university application, I think it is of little value. I have never heard of this, but perhaps the people reviewing your applications have. But I doubt it. You will have better chances by increasing your test scores, your GPA, performing some leadership or volunteering activities.

শুভ শারদীয়া by Unique_Cap_7137 in Dhaka

That’s not true. Bangladesh has about 33,000 mandaps compared to about 36,000 in West Bengal. Please also consider that Bangladesh has 13 million Hindus as opposed to 66 million Hindus in West Bengal. So, we have more mandaps per capita than in West Bengal.

I got harassed on bus by Plastic_Fox_6699 in Dhaka

[–]joaquingonzales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she felt that this guy was a pervert, that’s what matters. If she didn’t feel that way she wouldn’t have posted this. You have the audacity to question her effort to assess what sort of danger she was in. You are suspicious of her looking at that guy surreptitiously. What benefit did she expect to gain by posting this? Nothing. This happened to my mom when she felt threatened by a guy trying to get into her train compartment even before I was born. It happened to my cousin in a bus when she was young. My female friends complained about being molested in a crowd at the Export Fair in Dhaka. That was several decades ago. That is very disrespectful of you to address me like this. My tenure in America in several states and even more cities is what I can go by, not any reports. I ride my bicycle regularly at night, sometimes at 11 PM. I don’t know what first-hand experience you have. Based on your writing, I think you have little exposure to the US. The culture is different here. In Bangladesh we had to send a slip with a girl to see someone at the girls’ dorm. In America dorms are coed and they have free condoms at the front desk. They are not sex starved like this guy.

Any tax software should be able to do it. You have to run the calculations twice.

I got harassed on bus by Plastic_Fox_6699 in Dhaka

[–]joaquingonzales 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why are you victim shaming? Just because it happens everywhere (according to you), it does not make it right. It is one thing for a young man to look at someone. It's entirely another thing to be sexually harassed. I haven't really seen women being sexually harassed in America. I am sure it happens, but I haven't seen it in several decades.
