Completed great Bangalore 10k run.
Wanted to finish it under 80 mins. Couldn't.
Nevertheless, good experience.
I wrote about bookmarks, but not the ones that we use in our browser. These bookmarks are there in our daily life.

How am I supposed to quit Twitter when an insufferable shitstain gets owned by a teenage climate activist so hard that he made a douchy reply video that led Romanian authorities to his location leading to his arrest on suspicion of human trafficking?
I have been working with Uber’s H3 geospatial library in R for some time now. In this blog post, I have shared some use cases which I have found helpful.

After hearing about the death of Sinisa Mihajlovic, I had a moment of quiet introspection and ended up writing a short blog post.

The #hyderabad trip went well! Proper meat feast!
Also, loved the fact how well connected the city is. And you can get cabs in 5 mins! Awesome!
I wonder how my father did 6 days/week office, that too year after year for 25+ years.
I am half dead after doing 4-5 days/week.

Is there any #OpenSource #desktop application to manage equipments/parts catalog?
I want to find any equipment/parts fast enough. Please boost so that I can get more suggestions.
Noticing a very common theme.
Whenever asked to explain the algo or the analysis, most of the people start the sentence with "basically". Specially if they have been asked by their Boss. Used to think only I use that word quite a lot.

Cousin has given birth to a beautiful child and at the same time in my house this has led to the rebirth of "my lack of sense of responsibilities in life" coz in a brown household, being unmarried and happy is equal to being an irresponsible human.

I've often wondered why open-source orgs like @mozilla @nextcloud #Canonical and others don't take a more active role in the fediverse. All of those orgs should not only be actively running #Mastodon accounts, but should also be posting content to #PeerTube and honestly even running their own instances of both. In the case of Mozilla, it would make a ton of sense for them to host both Mastodon and PeerTube instances as an open alternative to Google.
Thoughts on that?
Getting a job after a BE in Mech-Civil -Electrical in India is equivalent to getting likes in Bumble (for men). If you're in the top 1 percentile, there are ample opportunities. Outside that, there's nothing. Ironically, the first two fields are notoriously dominated by men, too.

What's the biggest #climatechange related worry you have very you live (city/town)? Personal worry. Not a humanity-level concern. #mastindia #climate
