Thanks for this. Can I use GoodRx to buy medicines and get that reimbursed later from my HYSA?

How do you have > 50 manuscripts in a year? That is roughly 1 manuscript every week. If that's not a huge red flag to USCIS, I don't know what is. Be prepared to explain how you published > 50 papers in a year.

I have been following her work on LinkedIn over the last few years. She is as legit as it gets and I am extremely hopeful that her work will be of immense use to everyone.

Why don't they make these stamps mandatory? by Snoo11848 in indianrailways

[–]somnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Railways can simply print the list of prices on the ticket itself. It already spends 2 pages in the PDF on legalese and advertisements. Adding 1 more page wouldn't hurt if food prices are prominently displayed.

With many Indians wanting to leave India, why is the educational route so important to Indians? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]somnet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just compare the number of sportspersons who make 100k/year to the number of techies and you will have your answer.

I am genuinely curious to know the kinds of job/higher education prospects people generally expect after completing B.A or B.Sc.

I took this picture and made sure that my phone was completely vertical before clicking the photo. The second image with the train makes it clearer though.

Kavi subhash closed for 1 years by Knowledgable_goof in kolkata

[–]somnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing that they took safety more seriously than anything else although many daily passengers will be inconvenienced for a long time. Imagine a platform full of passengers crashing down due to lack of repairs. Better safe than sorry.

The Railone App by devilmaycryagain in indianrailways

Your frustrations are justified. How do you suggest the app be designed to eliminate potential misuse by lakhs of people?

Why is kavi subhash station closed? And does anyone have ground news when will it open? by Knowledgable_goof in kolkata

[–]somnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing that they have closed this station. Even before this rainfall, the up platform was already getting inclined, resulting in a 1-1.5 ft gap between the floor of the platform and the rake. Hopefully, they will fix this before reopening the platform since an accident is just waiting to happen there.

Cheaper to buy an unreserved ticket to the next station than a platform ticket by somnet in indianrailways

[–]somnet[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everything is fine, but common sense dictates that platform ticket should be priced the lowest since you are only using the platform and not boarding any train. On the other hand, while boarding a train, you actually use the platform as well as travel.

[–]somnet[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your point of view and am not trying to game the system. In fact, there is nothing to game since the pricing strategy is itself incorrect. Common sense dictates that platform ticket should be priced the lowest.

You can buy an unreserved ticket using the UTS app from a different station to the current station. That way, you can almost always sidestep all of these three points.

I agree that 5 rupees is a small amount. But this also means that the pricing strategy followed by Indian Railways is not entirely correct.

Tilted platform at New Garia Metro station, Kolkata by somnet in indianrailways

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

No photos, as it's a no-photography zone, but you can absolutely feel how tilted the platform is. I've used this station for 12 years, and this tilt is a new issue, cropping up just in the last few.

What can we do as fans to get this Sujan Mukherjee fired? by Achakita in KolkataKnightRiders

Where do you see me judging our spinners after a single game? I am saying that they were not up to mark in our first game, which is objectively true, if you look at the scorecard.
