getting samsung M80 55" for ~56K, and sansui QLED for 41K.
requirements are good app support, good after sales service in tier 2/3 town, 120Hz / gaming mode, and just an overall decent TV.
offline i'm unable to find TCL C6K, getting P8L.
don't wanna go for bravia budget, aiming for the best that i can get around 55-60K. could only find LG QNED85, not 70.

have heard great things about xiaomi s mini led as well as lumio vision 9, are they worth the risk of getting something online and questionable service support?

same old first gen doc story, hectic internship that cost me mental health and physical health (diagnosed as a young hypertensive at the ripe old age of 23).

used to be a diligent classroom learner, appreciated by professors but couldn't adjust with the mcq-oriented prep. realised pretty early on that since i've also not been able to study in internship so i'll probably just have to take a drop, still gave so much effort.

am a diagnosed ADHDer but unmedicated since 5 years, trying to make it work only on therapy but it clearly isn't working anymore. struggle with pace so much, i could study all day and the output is barely worth an hour. keep trying to be disciplined every other week but nothing sticks. accepted my fate for a drop.

still got so deeply impacted with NEET, lost sleep, fell sick often, etc etc. home environment is superficially supportive but somewhere the microaggressions, persistent questioning, refusal to understand and constant interference on top of isolation and loss of personal life just make it even more unbearable and difficult.

even broke no contact with a genuinely traumatizing person in my life after 3 years and that's a new personal low honestly.

now trying to pick up my life and get going. started studying bit by bit again but honestly it just feels like this was never meant for people like me. people find it so easy to say that you just have to be consistent and disciplined, and that whoever that can't is just "weak" but beyond the anonymity of strangers online we are real people. i don't "want it easy", i just wish my kind of people were also considered while setting up these system, and that our work was seen as real and rewarded as such.

1. caught flu, everyone in family has it and was passed to me so barely dealing with that with fever, fatigue gi upset etc etc
2. yesterday went to see the center and almost ended up in a case of road rage? wasnt my fault a car hit me but a THIRD guy on a bike without number plate and helmet started yelling at me? didn't want drama + the car guy also dismissed it so left.
3. received an invite to be a speaker today... for world su1c1de prevention day, 2 days before NEET-PG 😭 and they're telling me "given your extensive work and experience in this area, we would really value having your perspective as part of this conversation" which is FRYINGGG MEEE theyre talking abt the work i've done for MH awareness but putting it that way sent me 🤣🤣🤣
4. was alone in my house trying to study as my family was out to celebrate rakshabandhan... and there was a small fire in the house?

it was spreading and

1. couldve turned into something much worse bcs of how close it was to the lpg pipeline and the meter had i not caught it in time (which was also a fluke i just went to check something else and happened

to find this) but i managed to put it out immediately

good thing this is my first attempt, and based on my nonexistent prep i've given up and i'm not giving it seriously and preparing at my own pace for later, otherwise all of this really wouldve been my last straw 😋

new to working out, have a cardio plan sorted (which is more important to focus on for me as visceral fat loss is the main target) but how do i go about figuring out which exercises to do for strength training?

i understand the basic principles that there's arms, legs, shoulders, back, upper body and lower body that require training but i'm not able to figure out what are some specific exercises which are sustainable to start with as a beginner. also do people who need extensive cardio split days as "cardio" and "strength" days or do both on the same day?

also, just for context, my main goal from fitness is to improve overall health and fitness, not to look a certain way (whatever physique i end up at is acceptable to me but not actively looking for anything) so please suggest exercises that are functional and not purely aesthetic.

using the iPad Pro M4 11" and on 26.6.1 rn. usually it is quite hot around here but i always have air conditioning, and yet while using the iPad in Stage Manager mode with preview, files and safari open at the same time and using Apple Pencil as well, the iPad does get suspiciously warm, sometimes getting uncomfortable to use. i do not charge while using the iPad either.

for native Apple apps in a native mode esp on such a powerful device running relatively low effort apps despite all the efficiency, this is a bit concerning. i'm hoping these are all software issues in iPadOS 26 which are supposed to be ironed out in iPadOS 27 so wanted to ask beta users, is thermal performance any better? i expect my workload to get heavier so just want to see if it gets better in the coming weeks or do i need to check for alternate ways to mitigate this.

hello, i'm looking for a single place where complete NEET PG previous year papers are available with respective answer keys.

i love games like sky the children of light. i have since been on the lookout for similar games i can play, preferably free and with a controller (apple arcade works too)

i tried alien isolation today and it was mindblowing for the most part. however it got competitive soon and had action which im not too fond of.

i also tried pools and that was great to explore (the single free area) but it felt kinda pointless.

i know im maybe asking for too much here but 😬 i basically just want a calm slow paced exploratory game with a story and a purpose but without the competitive nature or having to "fight" other characters.

another game i can think of which used to exist very long ago called "trail". wasn't that immersive but so well placed and well thought out.

if anyone knows anything that might fit, please do share, help is much appreciated!

i've not been in touch with this person for 3 years. they were an emotionally abusive figure in my life and since i've known them every day has been a struggle to keep them out of my life despite wanting them back. i had mostly gotten over them and stopped dreaming too except for the dream last night. it was a very short dream but the specifics are throwing me off.

i texted them and it seemed we were still in touch. someone else told me i should speak to them to congratulate them for clearing a certain 12th level of an 18 step exam on 12th March.

when i texted them they said they had appeared for the next one and flunked badly. they also mentioned since we have not met in so long they would like for us to meet again and that was very heart wrenching for me bcs i did realise it wouldnt be as straightforward as that. they said they had arranged for a bedroom for us to be alone, a second other thing im forgetting and a camera phone. i woke up after this bcs it was too hurtful but i just want to know, does this mean anything?

hi everyone. a 2020 batch graduate here, going to appear for neet-pg on 30 aug 2026 but mentally checked out before the forms were even out - have had a tough time in personal life dealing with stuff. i tried until a point post which it just started seeming impossible.

i am still going on with my first read and barely 20-30% of my way through. stopped giving gts, haven't been solving pyqs either, just tried to study but now it seems insurmountable just everything that needs to be done.

i think the biggest challenge that i couldn't overcome has been a mental and emotional one. even now having recognised that i need more time for another chance, i am still unable to deal with the stress. i am seeing a therapist but the sessions have also been infrequent.

that being said, one more thing i have struggled with is lack of a group of people with similar experiences and traits preparing and motivating each other. do have a few friends but no one i can really talk to or anyone who can help me navigate this. i can look at people who cleared this exam and one common denominator is they had a robust support system guiding them, whereas most of my time and energy has just been spent in trial and error (mostly error).

this here was the reason of creating this post, to maybe reach out to people in similar circumstances who can help lift each other up or people who have been here to support juniors in a similar position and give a little push so that regardless of the result we are atleast able to give an honest attempt.

have tried mostly all coffee roasters near satellite / sbr. looking to try esp from some lesser known cafes / roasters. if anyone knows if the likes of nook / 657 offer specialty coffee beans please let me know! thanks :)

same as above, have heard of basic tips like to never use water and stuff, but still don't know of the parts and stuff in detail like some people mention. any tips / suggestions / resources like youtube videos and stuff? much appreciated, thank you :)

so i use a home espresso machine (which is barely that) and pre-ground coffee. when i ask roasters to grind it for home espresso it usually turns out well as they understand it needs to be a little bit coarser than commercial espresso.

yesterday i got new grounds which are extra fine - suited for commercial espresso machines, and they're too fine for my equipment to handle, the machine choked and i had to release pressure through the steam wand.

i also use a south indian filter but it also wouldn't work with such a fine grind. don't wanna let this bag go to waste (it was pretty expensive) - any suggestions / jugaad?

reported comments violating the sub rules, followed up on modmail, no response on either the report or modmail.

meanwhile mods are active on a personal basis, which is fine except the work is supposed to be done, right?

just saw an ad being rightfully taken down by the mods. then why so much delay and unresponsiveness over reports? especially ones where vulgar, uncivilized language and behaviour in response to a civil discussion (as a part of sub rules) is literally being awarded and clapped at.

there will always be people who are engaging in unacceptable language and behavior, that's a risk that comes with any open spaces especially online, and thats why there are moderators. if mods do not respond then what does it mean to have a city-wide safe space?
