Earthing is not going to protect the equipment from surges.

Hard to believe. Earthing's purpose is to protect humans from electrical shocks. How does a TV go bad because of lack of earthing? I have so many appliances in my house (including comp monitors) that use a two pin plug.

It is becoming harder to make a case for banks. FDs are out of fashion (everyone has a DMAT account these days) and NBFCs have been slowly eating up their loans business. Another problem (may not be for everyone) is the limit on promoter ownership (capped at 25%). I prefer family owned...

Why so many? A few things to think about: A MF manager picks a portfolio for you. You have bought four portfolios from four different AMCs. There is prob a cook or a physician analogy waiting to be written. HDFC index (large cap) + smallcap + midcap - How is this any different from a flexi...

Why did you do it the first time? Did you have a condition that could not be fixed with lifestyle/diet changes? Shortcuts, as a general rule, rarely work in life.

Not bogus, but ineffective. I doubt it changed anyone's mind.

I too am out. Going to add this thread to 'ignore' list.

Funny he says that. Because one African .. err .. I mean south Indian, Mr Mani Shankar Iyer, has the same views.

@mods, time to lock this thread. The "Party workers" have arrived :)

There are no Palestinians. The Palestine nation is as fake (or real) as the nation of Pak. Hard to blame her. The basic structure of her argument is same as that used by the guardians of European morality. I.e. "x is true because I BELIEVE x is true, and if you do not BELIEVE x is true you are...

This is a very well established technique. Not sure why you are calling it absurd or illogical. This is how it works. Most boards will remove all information identifying the student before sending the paper for evaluation. The student who has bribed the evaluators has to put some unique...

The West regularly uses this technique to bully the rest of the world. Although I am on the interviewer's side on the issue, I have no sympathy for her. If the topic was India, this interviewer would be using the word like 'authoritarianism' and 'fascism' just the way this girl is using...

Pakistan is a religious state. Israel is a nation/tribal state. Very different. Membership to the Jewish nation doesn't depend on a belief. If you are born to a Jewish mother, you are a Jew (other people do join the tribe, but it is rare and the process is difficult). A religious state is a...

If kneading is a problem (i find it the most annoying part of roti making), get an electric dough kneader. Much cheaper. IIRC, I have even seen hand operated machine for pressing rotis. I will stay away from a fully automatic cooking machines at home. I stopped using my meat mincer because I...

Great. Even I do not consider Rahul Gandhi an Indian. Any move towards self reliance is going to ruffle some feathers. We currently use Colombo and Singapore (among others) for our imports/exports. Not a good arrangement when we have a conflict with China. A deep port 10 miles from...

This is why they hate Adani https://thediplomat.com/2023/10/will-indias-vizhinjam-port-make-waves-in-global-transshipment-business/ India's first transshipment port, built by Adani Ports, just became operational.

Hmm. Developed countries need them even more. You need 'evil' billionaires to wage wars, which is the primary responsibility of a state. If Israel didn't have have as many billionaires as it does (including ones with dual citizenship), it would be rubble by now. Let's not forget the context of...

Maybe, but he is our evil guy :) Every country needs a few. Are Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Bechtel evil? They most prob are, but they have kept the US military machine running. Without them, US will be no different from Somalia (or Canada).

You are probably overthinking this. This kind of arrangement is quite common in large organization. Any mail sent to info@xyz.in (or support@xyz.in) will be received by an application which will store it in a database (and create a case). The case will then get assigned to a customer service...
