Most people I know use Android. I have noticed Android and IPhone users have their own bubbles.

On the other side of the spectrum, I often joke with my dad that I want to setup a "TechNanny" service for him. Someone who can come home and help with random computer/mobile issues. There are of course challenges in reliabil

you can already do this with Google Sheets. I wonder if Office 365 has similar capabilities.

I am not an expert on Buddhism, but I grew up in India and noticed similarities with Hinduism in two countries: Bhutan and Thailand. The Buddhist temples were very ornate and seemed to be focused on the devotional aspects. If you apply what

I feel like there were a few attempts at this in the Bay Area but none seemed to have survived long term.

Great article - this is the first time I am reading about the positive effects of drones where it has actually saved lives. I have also read that Rwanda is doing very well recently since their terrible civil war in the 90s.

> an old Android phone into a personal cloud by installing a couple apps and putting it in a corner would be huge. That's not a bad idea. It does seem like things have to be absolutely app driven. I wonder how backups would work wit

sigh, thanks for the response. I think I may move onto RaspberryPi instead. Boringproxy looks like an interesting tool.

A little off topic, but does anyone know the best way to run software on an unused Android phone? For some reason this seems harder than it used to be. My goal is to run Home assistant on it, and I am struggling with issues on Termux right

That is a very interesting observation because there is no one definitive version. For the modern reader in English, you could try Devdutt Pattanaik's versions - I really liked his Mahabharata, but haven't read his version of Rama

Ok. Thank you so much for the advice.

Is that true even for visiting? I am Indian and have wanted to visit Poland and the region for quite a while. I did find rural Germany quite ok except communication.

Wow, that sounds amazing. I had a similar experience in Bombay. There were a bunch of roadside book stalls near the Flora Fountain area where I would find hidden gems - a collection of second hand books & local reprints. I used to frequ

I think this is the main con of American individualism. The alternative is the culture in Asian societies and perhaps to some extent in European ones as well - there is always an Uncle or Aunty who is watching out for you. Of course that ha

I have not traveled the "world", but I have been to a few places. I think I know where you are coming from, but your comment about going to a local city's meetup for a language doesn't make sense. As an adult, immersion

Interesting, although I don't believe there is a 3rd class anymore. That was a British era thing from what I know.

This is super cool. Although I cannot read Bangla, is it possible to extend this to other Indian languages, like say Hindi?

Wow this is fascinating. Are the books available in English? Calvert journal seems to be a very interesting journal as well.

Thank you for sharing this. I seem to follow some of his methods and there are some I need to adopt.

Yes, me too. Saying no to a persistent aunty is one of the hardest things on the planet.

Huh a similar behavior exists in India where it is polite to say no the first time. However, it is definitely not part of every single social interaction. I have experienced this a lot when being offered food as a guest - my first few refus

I am curious, how do Solar Parks in India work? The Quaid-e-Azam park is in the Thar desert and the desert extends to India as well in the state of Rajasthan. India seems to have built a solar park at Bhadla, ~300 km away from Quaid-e-Azam,
