    Home air purifiers effective for improving indoor air quality?

    With respect to humidity, it varies quite a lot within Mumbai region. The island city (south part) definitely has very high humidity because it is surrounded by sea on three sides. Contrast that with Powai/Central Suburbs/Thane/Navi Mumbai which is quite far away from the sea and hence has lower...

    Home air purifiers effective for improving indoor air quality?

    I know, this is in response to an old post, but facts are facts and may help someone else. Climate in Mumbai: 1) Monsoon (Jun to midSep): continuous rains, day as well as night temperatures hover between 25 and 30 deg C. One can live without AC; however, the humidity is >70% during daytime and...

    All OS Which team are you on - iOS or Android? And, why?

    I have been issued iphone15 from my office. Even though I have heard quite a lot about the UI and UX of IoS and optimized software and hardware on iphones, I frequently get buggy freezes and counter intuitive actions. Frankly has put me off: whats the point of spending close to lakh rupees and...

    Gold mine found in India, Odisha’s Deogarh

    KG basin fields are split between ONGC, RIL-BP and GSPC. (Each field is quite distant from each other) No point publishing articles regarding ONGC when the original post mentioned GSPC

    Every drop of butter we consume reduces our lifespan: What are some alternatives we can use

    https://www.agricultureinindia.net/groundnut-2/groundnut-introduction-origin-history-distribution-and-important-features/19716 Don't venerate the groundnut oil too much, it is a recent addition to Indian diet. All the retail packages in India need to clearly mention the unit price in Rs/gram or...

    Every drop of butter we consume reduces our lifespan: What are some alternatives we can use

    The wet shaving thread

    The blade cuts your skin only if you slice it. That mean there should be absolutely zero sideways motion. Entire motion should be perpendicular to the length of the blade. If you are using Gilette Gaurd (single bade version), there is utterly no increased advantage moving to double edge razors...

    Is AI Making Us Dumber? Study Reveals Critical Thinking Decline

    Nope it aint, at least not today. It spins out yarns. It has to be corrected often, but for that you need to know the subject. I had a challenge with my nephew who was going crazy about ChatGPT. For him it was a miraculous oracle of all human knowledge. But it was so wrong on so many facts, let...

    Is AI Making Us Dumber? Study Reveals Critical Thinking Decline

    Now, that counter was actually quite dumb. Let me explain how. In my childhood: when people didn't know something, they used to ask elders, search for stuff in library. Didn't make them dumb. In next generation's childhood: when they didn't know something, they used to search internet to get...

    Are Wearable Health Apps Overhyped? New Study Says Yes!

    I find the whole concept of measuring the number of steps, continuously monitoring the heart rate and blood glucose completely ludicrous. Real time record keeping is required only in case of acute issues like infection, accident, and other cases where you land up in the Hospital ICU. For...

    Indians Being Deported from USA are treated so inhumanely.

    The same :angelic: people on this thread (and general India) condemning the treatment of illegal immigrants of Indian nationality being treated "inhumanly" would cheer :rage: (perhaps even masturbate secretly) at the news of Pakistani/Bangladeshi immigrants being physically tortured by Indian...

    ‘Tech delayed is tech denied’ -IAF Chief

    Everything boils down to one thing: Indians (as a whole) are not interested in doing R&D. It is a long painful process, that has mostly (costly) failures and usually less rewarding success. Indians can only excel in trading and undercutting competition, that's how we have built our prowess in...

    You will have to recollect some physics that you might have studied in 9th or 10th standard. Distance = speed X time Speed = acceleration X time When there is constant acceleration then those two formulae can be "merged" via calculus to yield: Distance = 1/2 X acceleration X time X time So, if...

    Smartphone or DSLR for photography/videography (novice).

    DSLR any day will be better in terms of quality and also in terms of you learning how to tweak which controls for best results (unless you plan to use the complete auto mode all the time). What gives you an impression that DSLR are not good for videography?
