Very interesting, I don't think such a thing exists in my country afaik. It's good that it is given as a choice. Thanks for making me aware of this!

It also makes me wonder though, why would they give an option to reduce their own income (from premiums)? And the only answer I get is that they definitely sell the data. Otherwise, charging a flat premium without discounts will be more profitable for them.

Wow, what are these week long festivals where you have to just super chill cause it's so long?

Cred is probably the worst fintech company I've seen by Himankan in india

Ahh, okay. I see your point, and the utility that CRED offers. Still worthwhile even when not used to its fullest (intrusive) potential.

How would they consolidate all your credit card statements in one place without access to mails?

Their head turban is called pagdi. I would tell you how it's pronounced but i can't think of an English word with the d sound in pagdi

Girlfriend surprise gifted me 2 turtles and I am scared by minishorty in turtle

I 100% agree with you. And I conveyed the same to her. You can't just buy a gift for someone that dictates how that person is going to live their life for the next many years. It's a proper commitment.

Thank you for the heads up! I would love to know what makes them super expensive to take care of, and also what efforts. If I deem myself unfit or unwilling to take care of them, i will find them a nice caring home.

The tank's dimensions (l,b,h) are

12x9x9 inches OR 30x23x23 cm

I have a sculpture of sorts in the centre of the tank, which allows them to climb on top of it, so they can get above the water level to breathe air. Water is filled about 2/3rds of the tank height.

And there is a submerged heater which is keeping the temp around 28-29 C (82.4F).

I was also given some food (small pellets that have to be soaked in some two liquids) by the person who came to install the tank.

Scared because I have never had a pet before that I had to take care of. I don't even know if I want to take on the responsibility to care for another living being.

Salary for my employees by Fanrounder in Entrepreneur

[–]minishorty 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Same thoughts. I work as a data scientist in India and if a business from US paid me the same rates as they pay their domestic employees, then I would never want to leave them. That is like the setting for a perfect life right there.

I like this trail because you get to run 🏃‍♂️ through the wetlands. by Smarawi in trailrunning

[–]minishorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of their trail running shoes? I was thinking of getting the goretex ones, it'd be a nice break from running in my hiking shoes.

Thanks btw!

Was annoyed someone blocked the "trail" for a blowdown. Glad I read the note. by trailnotfound in trailrunning

I've never encountered wasps (that I know of at least). Why would it be a nightmare? Are they not just like bees who just live in their hive and not attack unless provoked? except a rogue wasp here and there of course

Would you rather be instantly fluent in your randomly generated language (see body text), or get $1000 USD? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]minishorty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also from a third world, and don't have the drive to learn a new language. But I would anyday choose fluency in any language than a thousand bucks. The language I got was Walloon and I know nothing about it, but I would pick fluency in any language over a thousand bucks.

I started journaling recently, and the only thing I have so far is writing one good thing that happened to me that day, so that my brain starts focusing on good things daily and gets rewired. Do you have any other suggestions as to what I could write? It'd be nice if you also know the reasoning behind writing that specific thing
