What makes you think you have to leave for jungle to be an ascetic? You are an ascetic by all means if you have control over your senses. At least Hinduism defines it that way.

An old Indian saying goes like this. Healthy eating and regular fasting is a big part of ancient Indian system still followed. Wordly people eats twice a day, Ascetics eats once a day, Children and invalids eats throughout the day.

Staying indoor in 24C air-conditioned spaces conditions the body so badly that even 28C starts to feel bad. I noticed this in my own behaviour and thought of changing it last month. For a change, I decided to drive without air conditioning.

Thanks for the excellent resource. A big part of this problem is self inflicted. We used to have thick mud walled houses which stayed cool during scorching heat. People who could afford would go with stone constructions. Things such as sun

It doesn't matter that you have 0 contacts. They will still be able to map you through other people's contact list.

> Even Krishna's role has a lot of valid criticism in terms of the little he does to avoid the war (being a god and all). The closest clean character seems to be Karna who is on the losing side. My apologies but both statements does

Yes and Twitter, FB, YT etc. pushed us on it by firing the first shots. When they decided to impose censorship and de platform as per their whim, they should have understood the consequences.

Concept of vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam is misunderstood even by Indian. Of course in Indian philosophy world is considered one large family. However, this is directly in contrast with Clash of civilization. They cannot work together. Indian sage

My advise as someone who has experienced this in many parts of the world including my own Country. Most people are subtle about it and I beilve it is their mental shortcut to gaining the upper hand in a negotiation. They are not doing it be

I was never a regular meat eater and have quit completely for over 3 years. I can do 110kg deadlifts. I am 42 with a sedentary job.

I will be more than happy if decentralised web emerges. However, I am not ok with likes of Jack Dorosy calling the shots over Countries and elected Goverments.

That's how I came to Modi's side. I didn't vote for him yet but now I will vote for him. Unilateral uninformed criticism with no understanding of realities on the ground have converted me from a critic to an admirer. Most of

An absurd argument. If a new situation emerges Government should not act because it was not in their manifesto?

Well censoring of Trump is best example. Another recent one is Facebook trying to ban and influence Unganda Elections. In General these social media giants are extremely liberal towards Iran and China but they are eager to ban Trump and tra

Champions of free expression wants to grant more power to Jack and his cohort than to the democratically elected Government because Governments are corrupt but Jack is not. How Ironic?

Your argument will hold true if social media companies act as a platform and don't censor or intervene. In reality they take sides and push their agenda so this is bound to happen. Companies coming together to de-platform Trump and Twi

We weren't after unlock. We wanted to erase and reuse the device. AFAIK Apple genius can do that in-store if you show the proof of ownership. There are online services which claim to do this if you can prove the ownership.

by drieddust 6y ago
That is actually a good suggestion. Getting locked out of your own device and then trying to prove ownership seems too much hassle. I wonder how many device are rendered useless due to this "security feature".

Exactly and I am sure all the people who logged into FB have not died off or moved into a jungle so they are still targets.

Please don't misread. This is not about who can read the encrypted drive. It is more basic than that. Apple locked us out of device we paid for. We just wanted to use it again completely wiping it off. Random Harry working for Apple ca

Thanks a lot for the tip but my point still stands. I was never into Apple and after this my wife decided to move away too so we don't care anymore.

1. Since when Twitter started complying to Trump? 2. Tweet stayed up until French government got involved. Mahatir is still free to post do it again. What about China and Iran? Last I checked Trump don't like them so why are they up?
