No need to have frivolous concern about delivery guys - blinkit, zomato, uber or any delivery service

All I do is I take the delivery or get into the cab on time so that they can serve the next customer.

Simple. Don't wasn't the time of delivery guys. Their time is money

This face wash was delivered free by B l inkit. Wife was about to throw it away but I kept it for me. Reason: it seems SRK uses the same face wash!!!

Behind every successful man who builds lego there is a woman.

About a yr back my wife @JuhiHajela joined to help me to build a lego set

Her advise: first sort bricks based on similarly & color.

Till date following her advise and it really helps 👇

Guess the name of the Bollywood actress based on these two photos

Medical, Education and Law (in the order) are the fields wherein we pour in all our money without any guarantee

What's more, in all the above esp medical and education most onus is on us despite spending money.

PS: so far no first hand experience with law but an assumption

The AV setup is complete. Found this interesting audible book which claims to be Dolby Atmos. Will test the system using this

My semi built home theatre system - capable of 11.2 (w.r.t. AVR and wiring).

First, tried 6.1 without the center speaker - 2 front, 4 ceiling and 1 sub - didn't enjoy the vocals.

Today the center speaker got delivered. Now watching a movie in a 7.1 setup. Much better

But now really tempted to go for 9.1 asap - with the back speakers. Had to go for ceiling speakers first to avoid तोड़ फोड़ in the false ceiling

After that side speakers will be pending.

LLMs are really good with syntax. Today I forgot mysql syntax to export data to a csv

Instead of Googling, I went to Gemini Pro (thanks to JIO, I have a paid subscription) and copied pasted the SQL query and asked it to export it to csv. It gave me the right SQL query to export it to csv

The query had a date condition in the where clause to look at data between 12 to 8

Gemini "Pro" converted it to look at data after 8

I'm really not sure how the vibe coding is working

When I meet, talk or WhatsApp with my father it's typically fixed/boring agendas like bill payment, credit card payment, taxes, plumbing or electricity problem, arranging driver etc. Kinda all boring agendas.

But when cricket happens we connect at a fun level. Thank you #Cricket

How do we build consumer trust in "smart" hardware if the features we paid for can be deleted with a software update?

@TheOfficialSBI I was able to use internet banking on my saving account till Jan 6th. 3 days back when I tried, I could not use it. Yesterday when I called your call center, they helped me to figure out that the account has become view only. But whenever I try to enable it for full transaction, I get the following error (please note, I have tried several times and Im very careful not the press the back button or any other button, I carefully click on Submit).

Also I did not make any changes, so at the first place, how did my account become view only?

I have been using this account for the last 12-13 years without any problem
