Hi all,
Yesterday, I spilled hot tea all over my precious keyboard and now it won't work. Maine already naya order kar diya hai but it'll take a week to arrive.
If anyone has any spare bluetooth keyboard lying around that I can borrow for a few days, I would be grateful.
PS: You'll be duly compensated in chocolate, obv 🍫🍫
Every year, India generates a massive amount of agricultural residue, but a significant portion of it is still burned in fields or left to decompose. At the same time, biomass plants are looking for reliable feedstock to produce pellets, briquettes and other forms of renewable fuel.
The interesting part is that the problem may not really be a lack of biomass but it’s the collection, storage and transportation of it. Agricultural waste is scattered across thousands of farms, is often seasonal, and can become expensive to move over long distances.
If better systems could connect farmers with biomass producers, agricultural residue could become an additional source of income for farmers while providing a more consistent feedstock supply for the bioenergy industry.
There’s clearly potential here, but what do you think is the biggest bottleneck right now. Is it logistics, pricing, infrastructure, or creating a reliable supply chain?
Here's what actually worked and what didn't make the cut.
Grandma's secret hair oil - A bit sticky but works well for m type b curls as a pre shampoo routine. 8/10
Typsy beauty black kajal - doubles down as a smudger which i like, glides on easily. would purchase again. 8/10
yesmadam sokoro face wash - had some left over product from my facial it's soo good? its foamy and doesn't strip the skin after washing my face. Ended up purchasing the kit. 7/10
Products that were duds
fae beauty - lip whip - Brought it after all the hype on this sub, the color was too pigmented and ended up looking gaudy on me. Gave it away to my sister. 5/10
Savana press on nails - i'm new to press on nails but i'm pretty sure, i followed all the steps and properly prepared the nails before sticking them on, didn't even last a day. even then, the designs look way cheaper in real life than in image, not worth it at all. 2/10
Dot & Key lip plumping mask - This one looked promising because of all the reviews, but it just didn’t do much for my lips. It felt nice initially and made them soft for a little while, but the effect didn’t really last. Wouldn’t repurchase. 4/10
Pls lemme know if anyone has good reccos for affordable press on nails. TIA
Has anyone actually managed to get the “first 500 customers get a free pedicure” offer from YesMadam?
I’ve been trying for weeks now. I literally set an alarm just for this and wait 30–40 minutes before 1 PM every time. I manage to add it to my cart, but then the booking gets stuck. Sometimes I even reach the payment page and it gets stuck there too. Other times, it says the slots are already filled.
And no, it’s definitely not my network.
At this point, I’m genuinely wondering — is anyone actually getting this free pedicure, or is this just a marketing gimmick? 😭
I’ve sacrificed so many 1 PMs for this at this point. I’m attaching a screenshot of my alarm because I’m genuinely not joking 😂
Has anyone successfully booked it?
Okay, so one of my goals this year was to look more presentable and fresh looking. I have simplified my beauty rituals for the most part but not able to sort out my hair care woes. I plan to get a blow dry every month. Initially, I thought to purchase Dyson and start doing it myself, easy right? Then, I thought what if I simply get it done from someplace like yes madam each month. Here's how the math works out - Dyson - High initial cost+ learning curve + time spend washing and styling hair (min 2 hours)
At home salon -
prices start from ₹370 onwards for wash + style. That works out to roughly ₹4,452 (371 × 12) a year if I do it once a month.
Benefits include saving on petrol, no driving to the salon, no time spend waiting in the salon and an actual professional finish.
Meanwhile, a Dyson with all the attachments would cost me around ₹50,000.
With my hair, there’s another issue, it’s thick and heavy. I’ve tried doing salon-style blowouts myself and they NEVER look quite like they do when someone else does them. The salon ones end up looking good for at least 7-10 days with proper care afterwards. One thing that will remain the same is the kind of products like shampoo/conditioner etc that I use. Even if i'm going with yes madam, i'll stick to my own products so there's that. Not factoring in the cost of those products.
Does this make sense or am I overlooking something here? Critique and suggestion welcome!
Trying to decide between Thailand and Mexico for rhinoplasty, both keep coming up as affordable options with decent quality. Anyone actually gotten a rhinoplasty or any plastic surgery done in either country? How was the experience and details?
Hi all,
I'm in search of a good ergonomic chair which has a wide seat so an adult (5'7 ft) can easily sit cross legged. I've been eying something like the Drogo Meditura but I don't trust the brand.
Has anyone purchased something like this before? TIA
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for some career advice.
I've spent the last 4 years at a well-known AI research organization in India working on building their LLM. I started as an annotator at ₹35k/month, worked my way up through audio verification, data tasks, prompt writing - the whole thing. On paper it sounds decent but in reality, I'm 29 and barely making ₹50k per month.
Where I'm at -
My core expertise is in language, specifically prompt writing and data annotation for LLMs. No coding background whatsoever.
This year I'm planning to start learning to code, build some small projects, and figure out how to integrate apps and tools. The idea is to combine my language/AI domain knowledge with actual technical skills so I can compete for better-paying roles.
My questions for this community:
Is this a realistic pivot or am I overestimating how far coding skills will take me?
What should my actual career trajectory look like given my background? Is prompt engineer and actual role that I can work towards?
Has anyone else made a similar transition from language/annotation work into a more technical AI role?
I know I need to level up for my career advancement . I just want to make sure I'm going in the right direction.
Additionally, if anyone from India would be kind enough to chat with me about this, I’d be genuinely grateful.
Thank You.
