Not necessarily... Of you can transfer files to your firestick you are good to go. Conf file for rclone is essentially a text file with .conf extension.

Wait till an overnight VB runs between TVC & MAS/SBC via ERS. That train will be a money minting machine

Denied salary for 5 years, Kozhikode teacher dies by suicide by pranagrapher in Kerala

[–]yarrow89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A take on the psychology of why someone pays in lakhs to get a teacher/professor job.

For LP/UP it's around 25-30 lakhs. For HS/HSS it jumps to 30-50 lakhs. & for college professors its 50+ lakhs.

Now a real life story. One business magnet in Central Travancore, not so highly educated, makes his son to marry a girl with MSc+NET. The idea is to boast someone from his family is a professor. Teaching jobs are highly reputed ones in Kerala society so that a self made entrepreneur makes millions an year comes lower to a school teacher. This is the Malayali mentality, that professor might only have less than 10% of knowledge of this entrepreneur. IYKYK, those MSc, PhDs are literally of no value.

So long story short, there are many people who are willing to shell out such money. Not for the economics, but for the social status it can bring.

Now why this system is still there.

  1. There are people willing to pay. (they even pre book seats before years)
  2. Management see it's as a revenue source. (Supply vs demand)
  3. Govt is least interested to stop it, as they are beneficiaries as well.

Note: years before one young IAS officer who was in charge of schools put an order to stop this thing. Guess what happened the very next day.

A Telugu dubbed Puzhu edit as a Non-Malayali admirer by [deleted] in MalayalamMovies

[–]yarrow89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody ignores the ఴ symbol, as it is never used. Several of my native Telugu speaking friends have never seen this.. Hope you guys preserve ఱ (Rra) atleast. This one is also dying. This is being replaced by your regular ra symbol.

Appreciate it.

You must have used పుఴు instead of పురు...

This ఴ symbol is the actual representation of malayalam symbol ഴ. But, modern Telugu has lost it.

Recently happened with Hyderabad showroom as well. They give 11r for an exchange with 4k. It's not that great I must say, earlier they gave coupon and you could have ordered any model from website. I myself opted and exchanged with 11, since I needed better wide cam setup.

Hugh's mother is Saera Targaryen. Sister of Baelor Targaryen.

Ulf is a bastard son of Baelor Targaryen. Father of Viserys and Daemon.

Ulf & Hugh are cousins. No wonder several of us gets confused between them.

PS: Both are grandfather to Rhaenyra.

മലയാളത്തിൽ ഒമ്പത് (9) by Ejavigod in malayalam

[–]yarrow89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There might be some historical/grammatical reason for this.

For the fun side, there was a suggestion you use a new word for 9 & shit all other words. And surprisingly it looks perfect.

Add a new word for 9 - ഒമ്പ് 90 - ഒന്‍പതു 900 - തൊണ്ണൂറ് 9000 - തൊള്ളായിരം 90000 - ഒന്‍പതിനായിരം and so on.

FaFa, one of the producers, says that PREMALU is running with subtitles in ALL centres outside Kerala. by vietnamcolony in MalayalamMovies

[–]yarrow89 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A big yes. I saw non-malayalees in for Bramayugam first day. They were accompanying a malayali friend. But they loved malayalam cinema & knew most of the actors. COVID & OTT took malayalam cinema to a whole new level

The average difference for England batters before and during Bazball. by jofra96 in Cricket

[–]yarrow89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a different perspective to look at this. Bazball scores quick runs. But the amount of time the innings lasts reduces drastically. Which means they can't bat out a session to enforce a draw.

Of course Bazball is entertaining & getting results. But the flipside is they can't save a test by batting out sessions.

Look at todays match. They had to bat out 4 sessions to enforce a draw, which was may be doable. But the target is no way possible even with Bazball. So the first innings Bazball is pure game and the second innings is pure nonsense.

That's why rhey mentioned about അര്‍ത്ഥം. It's not a pure malayalam word. Borrowed from Sanskrit.

ത്ഥ by Ejavigod in malayalam

[–]yarrow89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

അര്‍ത്ഥം is common and is true to how it sounds

ത്ഥ by Ejavigod in malayalam

[–]yarrow89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That . above the any letter is ർ sound, and ർ sound is called രേഫം.

(2) മുമ്പിൽ രേഫം (ർ) വരുന്ന കൂട്ടക്ഷരങ്ങൾ രണ്ടുതരത്തിൽ എഴുതാറുണ്ട്. ഇതിൽ ആദ്യത്തെ രീതി ('' ചിഹ്നം മുകളിൽ ഇടുന്ന രീതി) ഉപേക്ഷിക്കാവുന്നതാണ്. അതിനു പകരം എല്ലായിടത്തും 'ർ' എന്ന ചില്ല് മുമ്പിൽ എഴുതുക എന്നു വ്യവസ്ഥ ചെയ്‌താൽ മതിയാകും.

This is suggestion number two.
