9+ years on @TMobile . Today felt time to get off. Process for employee discount is stuck in 1980s. Had to call to verify employment (store in campus couldn't do it) it takes 60 days to take effect. Assuming they'll fly someone to a datacenter to change the bits in the database

@ankurs Lost of EU countries as well. All based on a 1970's study on rats. Why not simply pick a population consuming it daily for the last 100 years and see if there is a mass toxicity going on. So mustard oil in US specifies "heating time" "smoking time" but is for external application

I was today years old when I learnt that Mustard oil is banned in US as it is supposedly toxic. So basically the entire population of the Bengals (west and Bangladesh) is dead. The are just just 250 million and consume it daily 🙄🙄

I was just chatting about this with a friend. Alexa and Google voice talking to each other in a loop.

Ok now he is showing is phone and saying the wallet in it has 40 crores. Should I just snatch that and run :P. Also I am not eaves dropping. The entire floor is in on the discussion. I am expecting the floor staff to get in on the deal as well

Tech bro selling crypto and celebrity nfc to a bunch of traditional business men at the Kolkata hotel lobby. Apparently he is "in" before drop of prices all time and has traded upto 100 crore rupees. Also his gold chain weighs at least 1kg.

I want in, considering interrupting and asking how I can get rich beyond imagination in 6 month. Apparently he has someone who didn't have money for tickets but just bought a bmw . Anyways I gotta go, I have flights to catch and boring infra and Azure services to build

In India a mobile device is still a cellphone. Everyone around gets so many voice calls. In US a voice call is 90% spam. My sister keeps getting real calls all the time.

@pankajconnects Just walked away.

The first interaction to people coming in to Mumbai airport is a scam. There are private Covid testing providers who are telling visitors they have to do mandatory Covid test and pay for it. Tried it on me and also gently threatened you will be sent back from immigration

Test

[abhinaba - অভিনব @abhinaba]

@CSMIA_Official Randomized test is well understood. But in this case the private testing folks are mis representing and telling everyone they need to get tested. The are pointing to one line at the bottom of the air suvidha form.

Packing for a trip I realized I have mostly moved to @cotopaxi . I am weirdly drawn to their design where nothing matches. Every part is different color, texture. There is no symmetry. And very easy to find your bags (and you in a crowd) due to their vibrant color choices.

The only website I have encountered till date which has a drop down for cities (as in I have to choose the city and not type it in) is Turkish Airlines . Unfortunately my city which shares its zip code with another adjacent city is missing in that drop down

Daughter decided to take the Flu shot on the leFt arm and the Bivalent #CovidVaccine on the right. And giving a running comparison on both. She confirms it hurt more to get the flu shot and that it continues to hurt slightly more.

@aneogy It is amazingly good. Just missing CR2032 slots. If they add that it is 5* from me.

I always get stuff from Costco I did not go to get. Now I know I do not have enough batteries.
