I don’t think anything is more annoying than this.

[Gurpriya @GurpriyaSidhu]

Every time I sense anger in someone’s writing, I stop taking it seriously. Anger is a strong, negative emotion. It clouds judgement, makes you biased, makes you compromised. If you have written something in anger you weren’t thinking clearly, and I don’t want to read anything that is not good, clear thinking. It is also a note to self. Clear writing flows from clear thinking which flows from a clear, objective mind.

@GergelyOrosz It happened to me too. Now the fix is to keep Netflix app opened before boarding and then turn off internet.

Big 4 hrs flight went boring because of Netflix. I agree that we can't count on it to work in offline mode

Science: Hydrogen is extremely inflammable, and it leaks in small volumes from balloons. A lift has static electricity as well as electronic components. Even a tiny spark can result in an explosion.

So why do people buy them? Mostly, they don’t. They are victims of a scam. They think they are buying helium balloons, but vendors instead give hydrogen ones because hydrogen is much cheaper.

Lesson: Buy helium balloons only from reputable vendors.

@Priyansh_31Dec Hard water filters as the name suggests are just filters they don't soften the water. I personally use Kent bathroom water softener bought from amazon for around rs. 15k. The installation guy also showed me the results with a TDS meter.

Everything you learn in the gym applies to life.
-Reps are the only way to get better
-Showing up over and over is the only hack that works
-Losing the fear of failure is the only way to accomplish anything big
-Do a little more every week and tiny wins build into something huge

If you feel like giving up, you must read this never-before-shared story of the creator of PyTorch and ex-VP at Meta, Soumith Chintala.

Think about that. He went to a tier 2 college. Was rejected from all Masters programs 2x. Rejected from every single job except Amazon test engineering. Rejected from DeepMind 3x. Nearly had his baby project shut down. Struggled with visa issues. After 12 years of failures (2005-17), he eventually rose to became a VP at Meta one of the most influential people in AI!

Soumith's story is one of resilience and he's living proof that no matter how down in the dumps you are, there's always hope.
