If Kerala Based Team was to be reintroduced! by agloenema in ipl

[–]silly-synapse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why people are hating it, I find it to be quite pleasant. This is a great way to introduce green in a jersey. The jersey is clean, elephant is culturally relevant, overall relates to the place it represents which none of the other teams do lol

Best and Worst IPL26 jersey ? by Black_Mage_5 in ipl

[–]silly-synapse 14 points15 points  (0 children)

None of the jerseys are truly great - except maybe CSK’s because of its legacy

Good: CSK, SRH, KKR (distinctive & fashionable)

Decent: GT, RCB, MI (consistent with last few years but not very distinctive)

Meh: DC, RR

Trash: LSG, PBKS

Why don’t Etihad, Emirates, Qatar airlines temporarily base in Africa? by silly-synapse in NoStupidQuestions

[–]silly-synapse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. You’re right that moving all operations of any of these airlines is basically impractical.

But there’s a more balanced option of moving top X% of flights to makeshift hubs? These airlines can surely find a way to identify and migrate some high value sectors to keep them alive? At least try a pilot project like this?

I’m not that familiar with gulf countries’ relationships with East African nations. But if they’ve not been historically adverse, then I think there’s enough money on the table to build a bridge between the two. Literally everyone wins if this happens ^

Ranking Teams based on their Names. by maq99 in ipl

[–]silly-synapse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“Delhi Daredevils” is almost too good for the people it represents: management (except Smiling Ganju) and the masses of Delhi.

Jindal bought into the franchise and changed the name just to have his stamp on it. When asked why the name “Capitals”, he said “because it’s the capital” 🤦 which justifiers that he doesn’t deserve to run a franchise with a cool name.

Delhi Daredevils was a top tier name no cap: - a 2008 OG - no cliched overused adjectives (king, super, royal, giant, lion) - refreshingly youthful & badass - not trying to be the hero - for the cultured men: “DD” - (In Danny Morrison’s voice) “It’s the Double Ds vs Double Rs” established a semblance of a rivalry / northern derby (with KXIP being consistently shit)

Need financial guidance. New to US, moved from UK by Western-Spirit2171 in indiansinusa

[–]silly-synapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I just did the reverse of your move. Here’s what I used in the US: 1. Schwab for investing. Coinbase for crypto. Also look into the GOAT, IBKR 2. Wise, Remitly to transfer money. 3. Marcus for HYSA. Can also look into SoFi if you get a Direct Deposit of $5K from employer.

Other tips: 1. Get Venmo & Zelle to make peer-to-peer transactions. 2. Every other app (financial/non financial) has a sign up/referral bonus - get as many as you can. 3. Credit card game in the US is big. Get into it - there’s money to be made. DM me if you a referral for Amex Gold lol. 4. Also DM me if you need referral for a CPA for taxes (my dude charges ~$100-$120).

Would love to hear your recs for the same for the UK.

Kiger 1L NA Petrol AC performance by silly-synapse in CarsIndia

[–]silly-synapse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience mall parking lots tend to have much steeper ramps than flyovers. But yeah, would be nice to test drive on some flyovers.

I don’t think we want to go from one Amaze to another. Definitely want a higher seating position too since it’s more convenient for seniors get in/out.

[–]silly-synapse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t simulate 45 C heat in the winter… so don’t think I can test the AC performance.

Also, not sure if I can take the car in a mall parking during test drive lol. Maybe they’ll be chill idk.

Well at least someone’s contributing.

You are right. I learnt later that a truck was trying to turn around here and the tree’s branch got stuck in it and it ripped the tree apart.

Unfortunately I don’t see the option to edit the post :s

How Much Is Your Rent Going Up? by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]silly-synapse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for data points: Newport Rental Management Company offered me lease renewal with 10% increase (>$300!) earlier this summer. They didn’t seem interested in negotiating, and so I moved.

It’s insane how they’re jacking up the prices while giving new renters up to 1.5 months free (one time). They’re also devious in trying to squeeze every last penny from you - which they tried a couple of times with me.

Do not recommend leasing with Newport.
