    Widespread misspelling of the name of my city

    He is not debating. In fact, I welcome his thread, correcting a common misconception that I didn't even know I had.

    Widespread misspelling of the name of my city

    I am 35,if that helps. But even Superczar remembers it as Aizwal being written in our books. Both my Mom and Masi are Geography teachers and even they learnt and taught it as Aizwal. Here's a map chart being sold on Amazon which writes it as Aizwal - https://amzn.eu/d/27MbWUY

    Widespread misspelling of the name of my city

    I don't think anyone would have a problem pronouncing Aizawl. The main problem is that the spelling we always saw was Aizwal. Or maybe our brain did that, but, for as long as I can remember, I saw it written as Aizwal in our books.

    Review Berger express painting - peeling issues

    Please don't go through this right now. This is completely wrong season to get the painting done. Only solution would be to rent a dehumidifier and run it in the room so that the putty, primer and paint dries completely.

    Would you work for 12 hour for 4 day work week?

    If I was working in a company, I would club the 12 hr workdays for 16 days straight and then go for a holiday for the next 12 days. But I guess this can't happen if someone is working in a team on a big project involving many other people.

    That 1 Gadget you always wanted as a child?

    One gadget I always wanted and still want, but hasn't been invented yet, is a 'Teleportation' machine. Just imagine, standing on a transporter at home and arriving at office/wherever you want to go in an instant. Even the notification sound on my phone is Star Trek's transporter sound.

    Continuously rising medicines cost-- Why ?

    There are cheaper options available from 'Brand names' as well. I more than halved my mother's diabetes bill by moving to alternatives. Could've gone for much cheaper options as well, but went with the doctor suggested alternatives.

    Should I close my PSN Plus account?

    Can you buy games for consoles via Steam? Because the question here is not about PC gaming, but console gaming. So your example /solution won't work for the issue at hand.

    FS: Others Giveaway of some old tech stuff

    Lol. My local post office never have a problem with shipping any type of parcel. However, in Chandigarh, the post office people won't ship the parcel unless it was covered in brown tape all around. I covered it with transparent tape and they reluctantly accepted the package, saying, next time...

    Any professional electricians here?

    I would say, just get 10sq mm 2-core Aluminium wire for the main connection from the electricity pole to the building. These should be cheaper or at par with 6sq mm Copper wire and Copper Wires get stolen more often, so makes sense to go for Aluminium wire outside the house. For inside wiring...

    FS: Mobile Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 12/256GB Burgundy

    As Ayaskant bro has said above, iPhone's battery life has only become good in the 13 series. I remember my friends facing low battery problems in XS, 11 and even 12 series. And with most Android flagships and even basic starter phones, come with big batteries and fast chargers which solve the...

    Any professional electricians here?

    Buddy, it looks you are way out of depth in this area, no offense intended. I would suggest read up a little bit if you want to do the work yourself. I did the designing of electrical work at my farm myself but employed a guy to carry out the actual work of pulling the wire, which takes some...

    20-25K A phone that will last for 3 years at least

    For the last 8 years or so, every phone has lasted more than 3 years for me easily. And I mean that they were easily usable even after 3-4 years. It started with OnePlus One for me and I changed just because I got bored, like I am thinking of upgrading from my G8X now after just 1.5 years. All...

    Android Motorola Edge 30 series

    Thanks for the feedback mate. The charging seems to be slow for a 4000mAh battery on a 33W charger. All Youtube videos show that phone charges in an hour. My G8X charges in less than 2 hours on an 18W charger. It's good to know that the Auto mode works well. Usually the reason to keep the phone...

    Android Motorola Edge 30 series

    Hi, I am looking to buy a phone which will then become my primary and I will keep my G8X for use in emergency and as a DAP. Am really interested in picking up the Edge 30. I am not really worried about camera quality or gaming capabilities. What I am interested in, is whether the processor is...

    Want to buy weight plates from my home..

    I think Decathlon also sells Barbell and Weights. Their stuff is also good quality. You can go and check out the quality at their store and then order online for home delivery.

    No card payments for App Store purchases

    As someone who has always preferred using cards and have only used UPI to receive some payment because others were adamant about it, I still prefer using credit cards online just because IMO, they are more secure due to the insurance factor that they provide. I have twice received refunds for...

    Need suggestions for purchasing a new AirCon.

    I meant something like what you have in mind, but a metal structure with like the green fibresheet on top. Which one generally has over windows to protect from sun and rain. I think it is called an awning and looks like this -...
