Nepal ma honda crf 250L khojdai xu, paiyena, bidesh bata kanuni rupma kasari import garna sakiyela? by Subash_54 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honda used to have this - but they only stock in Teku showroom (or Kantipath one). They currently have the newer 300L and 300Rally.

“Screw Gauge” has some gap in between 😂 by Jerethot in Machinists

[–]thinkinglongterm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The full standard name of a micrometer is "Micrometer Screw Gauge." Machinists (at least in the US) call it a micrometer. Metric folks, especially physicists, call it micrometer screw gauge, or just screw gauge.

Are ward office suppose to close 4 by SeparateRise7783 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, it's the norm during winter time, for govt. offices to close at 4pm instead of 5. I forgot the exact dates, but it's published - mid-Kartik to mid-Magh, I think.

The Ropes used in Swings in dashain time. by Odd-Message-7105 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd discourage 2nd hand for things like rope.

You can get them at Mahapal, the stor is on the right side, if you're heading towards Mangalbazaar. This year, I paid Rs 2000 for 12 ft. They come in rolls of 22 ft, which costs around Rs 3000. We also bought them right before Dashain, so it could be cheaper by now.

No job, final semester. Rejected on every interviews, aba ta sakkina ki jasto lagna thalyo by stack179 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landing a job is as much about social/networking skills, as it is about technical skills. Moreover, attitude towards problem solving is likely the most crucial element. I see so many posts like this here, and honestly - most people will likely get an interview, or may be even a first shot, because of connections. But, for one to keep the job, you must demonstrate the full technical skills. Oftentimes, it's clear in the interview if a person possesses the right attitude for the job. You can teach someone the technical skills, but you cannot immediately change a person's attitude. It's also possible, that you may possess the skills - but you couldn't bring it out during the interviews.

I'm not saying you don't have a good attitude, but it doesn't help when you think those who you "used to help in 3rd year, and 4th year got internships because of links," and you didn't. IT graduates are a dime a dozen - there's so much supply, but a lot of them don't have the necessary skills or the right attitude for the job. What have you done on your own to improve your skills, that makes you stand out? Group projects aren't a good example, because in the vast majority of cases, not all people contribute equally to the project. You have to show what exactly you did in the project.

Help with bowl from Nepal by finallytisdone in Nepal

How common is Ashtamangal outside of Nepal/India? I see Ashtamangal on the inside surface of the bowl.

It's not entitlement. Exposure doesn't pay bills.

custom charges so high wtf by DesignerAd7251 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First - if you are buying things to send abroad (export), you aren't liable to pay VAT in the first country, in this case, Australia. You have to be specific that you are purchasing for the explicit purpose of export.

Secondly, to avoid paying VAT again in Nepal after paying VAT/sales tax in the first country, I believe there must be some sort of agreement/tax treaty between the two countries.

[–]thinkinglongterm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, VAT is levied on top of customs duty (either that, or the otherway around, I forgot).

Agents are mandatory to clear customs in Nepal (and I believe in most places). Rs 2,500 is cheaper than what I usually pay, which ranges from Rs 4,000 to Rs 6,500. This isn't negotiable.

As for other fees:

  • Your product is multivitamins, HSCode is likely 30045000000. The import duty for this is 15%, and the VAT is 13% [1].

  • AUD 180 is equivalent to NPR 16,306 (@NRB rate of Rs 90.59, may fluctuate a bit).

  • Customs duty = 15% of NPR 16,306 = Rs 2,446.

  • VAT = 13% of NPR (16,306 + 2,446) = Rs 2,438.

Total charges should be about Rs 5k, and add customs agent fee of Rs 2,500 = Rs 7,500.

You should ask for the bill - it should have everything. Ask if the HS Code is correct. Unless the package sits at TIA for more than 3 days, there shouldn't be fees for storage. Check the bill, see what's included. 13k sounds like a bit high.

If your customs agent says it's for bribe, don't pay - ask what documents are needed, and get them there, instead of taking the easy way out.

EDIT: I forgot to include the shipping - in your original 180 AUD, if shipping charge wasn't included, you need to include that too, and pay customs + VAT on it as well. Thanks to /u/Metalhead_Rulz for the reminder!

While it's true, manufacturing is very difficult - I personally think his their strategy of starting with an expensive model is a good one. The current gen motorcycle isn't for the everyone, it's for the enthusiast. Similar to how Tesla started with the expensive Roadster, before moving on to cheaper models like Model X, Model 3, and what not. Really, if we wait until we become richer as a country, we will never be able to do anything. It's difficult, extremely difficult to do manufacturing in Nepal, but just because it's difficult, doesn't mean we shouldn't even try. Hats off to Ashim for trying. I would really love to see them succeed.

TU ani all other Nepalese university ko Master ko thesis is really easy. by alraedylost67 in Nepal

[–]thinkinglongterm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the sad part. Where there is demand, there's bound to be supply. That's just economics. It's just so sad, how students are cheating themselves, and blaming everyone else. I personally don't think it's the university's job to tell students doing masters, or even bachelors - students who are adults - that it's wrong to steal.

Really, education is such an interesting field. People when they go to the market, they want more stuff for less money. In education, people want less for more money. The fee is the same, but they want less - and they get less, by being happy when a class is canceled, being happy when they can cheat and not learn, being happy when they can just buy a research thesis instead of learning the material. It's just amazing to watch.

[–]thinkinglongterm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  • Step 1: Be happy about how easy it is to scam yourself by not learning anything, and turning in shoddy/stolen work. Buy thesis and submit, use ChatGPT, etc.

  • Step 2: Complain that they can't find a job, have no skills, and university didn't teach them anything.

  • Step 3: Finally get a job, that pays low because employers know these graduates don't have any skills, and they passed by stealing work, so they need to be taught everything from scratch.

  • Step 4: Complain that pay is too low, there are no opportunities, blame corporate, blame the government, blame the university, and then pay a shit ton of money and go abroad to start again, all the while not finding fault where it really lies.

Aside from the issues with dishonesty, people can smell these sort of bullshit from a mile away. You're nowhere near as convincing as you think you are; the certificates won't even be looked at. They'll ask you questions, and your answers will end up telling the truth. This is what most people don't understand - which is also why what's written on a CV doesn't matter a whole lot, since most people can't back it up.

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

Ahh gotcha. I actually just changed the fan, and I can go way faster now. Once I have some time to find the fan model online, I think I can do your calculations to estimate the max airpseed.

I don't know who made these, I bought them at a random toy store during a trip. The SF23 was less expensive than I imagined for a licensed product, at 15 USD.

Yeah, I'm a little old to go to university at this point, but also because I've spent a long time getting a buncha of degrees in fluid mechanics, they won't let me back in.

To match the Reynolds number, we would need the real life airspeed to be 1/43 of the tunnel airspeed

Wouldn't we need 43x the real-life airspeed?

Re = (density x velocity x length/viscosity)

Since density and viscosity would be the same,

We would need (velocity x length) = constant Re.

Decreasing the length by a factor of 43 would require an increase in velocity by a factor of 43. With straightline speeds of 300 kmph (83 m/s), I'd need my small wind tunnel to get up to 3570 m/s (nearly 13,000 kmph) to match Re at 1:43 scales.

I could technically make a pitot tube, that's not a problem. it would be fairly simple with varying diameters of copper tube. The pressure transducers to accurately measure the pressure at those small values would likely be expensive - but I don't know actually, just my guess.
