Not GP, but yes, people in India mostly add both milk and sugar to masala tea, i.e. it is not had with just tea and the masalas - IME, at least. Can't say specifically what is common in Gujarat, though, since I haven't been ther

As others have said here, the name of regular tea (without spices, etc.) in India is not "chai tea" but just "chai" (in Hindi). "Chai tea" would be like saying "tea tea" (although in two different lan

Right. But check what my script called m does :) It uses col, but also redirects the cleaned-up output to a file named cmd.m (so you don't have to run that man command for the same command - like bash or other - each time), where cmd i

It's very much possible to extract legible (as you put it) data from PDF. It's just that it does not work 100% accurately 100% of the time. (And different libraries have different levels of accuracy.) But this is due to issues inh

Yes, good point. That's partly why I mentioned that vim is big, above. And there is tendency of some devs (not just beginners) to load many plugins (for any tool, not just vim), before learning the base tool well. Counterproductive, IM

That method / recipe sounds interesting - thanks for sharing. I did not know about hemp hearts, just googled them a bit, sounds good. I knew a bit about flax but have not eaten it much - will check that out more too.

Same wish here. I think more people would use Pascal - in its modern incarnations like Delphi (despite the cost, for some who can afford it) and FreePascal (which is free as in beer as well as speech) - if they knew more about it and did no
