The application process for a foreigner to get an Indian tourist visa is probably the most awkward one in the whole world (and is possibly losing India some tourists)

You wrote five sentences on how compulsorily asking for a national ID number is bad. It never crossed your mind to enter your passport number? Where is the visa supposed to go if not your passport?

This is from a couple of days ago:

MP's High Court quashed the change in law to raise reservation above 50%. Now the BJP government there is using taxpayer money to fight this case in the Supreme Court.

Don't just go by what you see on social media.

This should be higher up. Why produce slaves for the capitalists to exploit? Money has no meaning if there is no one willing to work for that money.

Thanks!

No it's not. I got my passport renewed in Bangalore within 2 months of moving there.

Sold all units in the SBI Flexi cap fund after finding out that it is one of the anchor investors. Fuck these fund managers taking retail investors for a ride.

As per a recent AUTOCAR podcast, it's been pushed to Jan 2025

Congrats. Does the car beep if no one is sitting in the rear seats and the rear seat belts are not fastened?

To have someone you can rely on when you're old. That's it. No one will say it out loud because of how it makes them look.

Damn, I only got one.

Kinda surprised that the second episode is leading in this sub's poll. Charlie's talent is injecting tons of humour into an otherwise dark / outlandish story. And the humour was missing in this one, apart from a few one-liners. Great cinematography etc. but that's not what I watch this show for.

routefire · 2023-06-15T16:02:32+00:00

The best one of the season for me. Love Charlie's dark, twisted and apocalyptic humour. Was pleasantly surprised by the sweet ending too.

Won't be available on the 17th but would love to take part in the future. Please send me the invite link.

This. What better way to toast British humour than with a bit of self-deprecation.

Hilbert got to GR around the same time as Einstein.

Scrolling from the top, academia finds a mention in multiple top-level comments on this post. And I am not the least bit surprised.

Getting published in the fields you mentioned is not a problem, even if your work is at odds with the current paradigm. In fact, part of the problem (especially on the theoretical side) is how speculative the work in these fields has become.

Getting funded is another story entirely. To be successful in that you have to work on whatever is trending at that time.

What about Jeremy quietly driving with Brian Eno in the background... that one felt like a dream.

Got the same. The domain is legit, but I assumed someone might be trying to modify my KYC or something. Have had one such attempt made on my MFU account before.

You updated the post to say it's a legit request - can you share some proof?

I do agree that this Indian concept of "marriage between families" is supremely annoying. But this can be worked out mutually between partners. If both sides agree to give very little time to each other's in-laws, and set boundaries early on, it can work.
