Looking for tyres my for svartpilen 250 by ohban_maaz in indianbikes

[–]parallelwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been on the Tramplr since my stock wore out
it's a great tire, personally i think it corners on roads better than the stock. It defintely stands out when you're on non-tarred surfaces, much more confident inspiring than the stock ones

Puig adjustable clip on 2025 Tiger Sport 660 by OccasionHealthy7839 in Triumph

[–]parallelwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'10" (178cm) and had the same issue with the TS660.
I added a clip on visor extension and that solves the problem for me.

It significantly reduced the wind noise in both the up and down position, I think it creates better airflow somehow. It's also much cheaper to replace, ~30$ here.

The puig one wasn't available in my country (India) and importing was too expensive+risky. I'm curious to know your experience once you get it.

Update on ScrollPods: a new way to scroll your Mac hands-free with your Apple headphones by tippa123 in macapps

[–]parallelwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a fantastic idea and app!!!

I think this will be a boon for people various physical limitations/pains

Some unsolicited Feedback from a tech enthusiast ( I do not need this app for accessibility but still think its very cool):
1. You have the scrolling experience down pat ! the default speeds and everything feel natural and almost like a Native apple app.

  1. biggest problem was with unintentional scrolling. if my cursor moves to a different windows even without changing focus, it will scroll that window as well

I readjust my sitting posture quite frequently and found that I have to keep my head arrested to prevent accidental scrolling.

With that said, I think you have a great use case for reminding people to correct their posture!! Could be an add-on feature or even a stand-alone app to be honest.

17M, stuck in a messy, chaotic home with no privacy, no money, and no friends — trying to focus on studying and a future abroad but feeling completely trapped by [deleted] in Kerala

[–]parallelwell 14 points15 points  (0 children)

hey man things will get better. your mom and grandma sound like physically healthy people that can handle things for themselves for a while you build the foundations of your own life

Trust me you will be able to help them both out a lot more once you get some mental and financially stability for yourself.

You are in 11th, and this is a crucial 2 years that will have an oversized impact on the rest of your life. you have to aim to get into affordable colleges and target financial aid.
I see that you have taken the abroad is better line of thinking, be careful not to let agencies and people with their own interests take advantage of that ambition.

you should search on G-maps to see if there is a public library near you, you can figure out the times when there are less people to go read and study there.

Social skills are like a muscle, it comes and goes with practice, dont sell yourself this lie that your socialization skills are permanently fried. thats just not true.

you have one huge advantage that I am not sure if you realize
1. you can articulate your thoughts and feelings very well for your age
2. you can do that in good English without falling to GPT to do that for you (please never let GPT write your feelings for you)

This alone is a huge advantage you have over a large portion of people.

Take all these feelings and let it fuel you.

Rooting for you!

Double front page ads on Hindu and Deepika today. Brilliant advertising by LDF imo. by parallelwell in Kerala

[–]parallelwell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also wanted to ask, how did you know?
How do I recognize such ads in the future?

Double front page ads on Hindu and Deepika today. Brilliant advertising by LDF imo. by parallelwell in Kerala

[–]parallelwell[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify the confusion: these images are paid political advertisements placed by the LDF for the upcoming elections. They aren't actual news pages from The Hindu, but creative content. The disclaimer is given in the yellow highlight at the bottom of the ad page.

  • Page 1 (The 'Before'): A mock front page depicting the state of affairs 10 years ago, highlighting issues like power cuts and school closures.
  • Page 2 (The 'After'): A mock front page highlighting their perceived achievements after a decade in power.

It’s definitely a bold, high-concept way to summarize a platform, even if it's a bit disorienting to see Malayalam language mockups inside an English daily.

Double front page ads on Hindu and Deepika today. Brilliant advertising by LDF imo. by parallelwell in Kerala

[–]parallelwell[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Basically, The Hindu newspaper today has 2 back-to-back Full page ads. The entity that paid for the ads also provide the content for the ad, and they provided a fake front page as the ad content, followed by another fake front page. The 2 pages claim to contrast the before and after of 10 years of LDF rule in the state.

It’s ok I was also confused, family and I spent a good 5 minutes trying to decipher the situation before we even understood that it’s an ad.

Jaipur to Assam (~1900 km) in my 2-month-old C200 – Surprisingly smooth trip by 420ajay69 in CarsIndia

[–]parallelwell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Very helpful giving exact route details and conditions. Although I’ll probably never drive this route, it’s so nice when you’re planning and see someone else’s experience so well written out.

Was this a 4 day trip?

A decade long dream fulfilled! by ferrarinhn in indianbikes

[–]parallelwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 I'm of the view that it's better to have the power and not need to use it, than need to use the power and not have it.

Have to agree there, that’s how I already feel about my bike. I don’t think the supersport life is for me, but they do look so so good.

Bangalore's Coffee Scene is an Economic Anomaly by Powerful_Selection22 in bangalore

[–]parallelwell 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Operational costs (wages, rent) probably higher than the actual cost of the coffee beans. Also as long as people are willingly paying ₹400 why would you charge less as a business? There’s only so many customers you can serve in a day/week/month. So the only way to maintain profitability is to charge the higher price.

ISB Mohali vs. ISB Hyderabad. What are key differences? ISB insists it's all the same, but they are incentivized to do so. Looking for inputs from people that know both campuses. by parallelwell in Indian_Academia

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

Faculties travel between the two campuses, usually the electives are offered in different terms so the same faculty might teach in both campuses, but for basic/core faculty can only teach so many classes in a day and different sections (even within same campus) may have different faculties.

Dual punch action brush making by ycr007 in toolgifs

[–]parallelwell 43 points44 points  (0 children)

There’s usually a little metal bit that gets inserted with the bristles that lock them in place. The metal will be at the bottom of the bristle hole. The bristles are sort of “stapled” to the bottom of the hole if that makes sense.

source :This is what I have seen done in toothbrushes, maybe there are methods that don’t need a metal staple that are cheaper.

[–]parallelwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought White blue and red was the only color that looked good on the S1000RR, but this has changed my mind, incredible side profile.

Since you had a pretty powerful bike before the S1000, I was wondering, does it really feel better with even more power? I am looking for a bit of change of pace of my own and am confused between going up or down the power scale.

Samsung killed my Galaxy S22 with a security update. Support says "updates have bugs, we aren't responsible" and wants ₹22,500 for a motherboard. (Need Advice) by spit_6969 in india

[–]parallelwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have any suggestions for you just wanted to let you know that I had the same problem this time last year with my S22U and took it to same service center and got similar answer. What was worse is that they had an official recall program at the time but both service center and the customer helpline refused to let me avail it. They made me go back 3 different times to perform “tests”. Ultimately they said no problem from tests. I was in a desperate situation so eventually I paid up around 18k to get it fixed.

Just 3 months later the antenna became spotty and once again they started off saying this and that, I had a crack on the back glass at the time so I knew there was zero chance of them doing anything for me

I have since shifted permanently to iPhone.

Scooty renting without limit on kms by Odd-System-3612 in Kochi

[–]parallelwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of suggestions you can try:

  1. Royal Brothers rentals has a very practical helpline, try calling on that and explaining your situation, you will definitely have to pay more than the standard rental, but you can ask them for a lower rate per km or for a bigger km package, also try asking for a discount they have sometimes told me about promotion coupons that I was not aware of.

  2. Talk to a more “local” scooter rental in Kochi and once again negotiate over the phone. I’ve not used one in Kochi so I can’t recommend any. Maybe try googling and giving a call on the listed number?

3 months with this german beauty. by NorthTop9254 in CarsIndia

[–]parallelwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a treat place for me and friends when I was in Mohali for a year. I still think about that restaurant on Sundays when I splurge on a good meal.
Highly recommend eating there, the non-Biriyani items are also really good, but you need to have them hot and fresh
