    What Investment mistakes you made that you want others to avoid?

    Iinm, the con with Coin treating SIPs as fresh transactions is that if a Fund stops accepting fresh SIPs in its schemes, the SIP via Coin can no longer continue.

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Mixing is being studied afaik, but don't think there's been any conclusion on that front. So unless there is some progress there, probably best to get the same vaccine for the 2nd dose as the 1st one, irrespective of which one it is. IIRC, there is/was fear of adverse events due to mixing. So...

    What Investment mistakes you made that you want others to avoid?

    Since the title talks about investing mistakes to avoid, ... In the context of direct stock market investing, I think the biggest takeaway for me would be to get into it as early as possible with as little as possible. Think even 2k, 5k, 10k. Not because even that little is going to make you a...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Genuinely asking.. Are these other masks that are being mentioned in this thread really that much better than the usual 3 ply surgical masks? Do these ones by 3M or Venus prevent covid 100 %? I see different healthcare workers wearing both types. Might be a dumb question, but better dumb than sorry.

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    One thing is clear. If ever there's a zombie apocalypse, hack all the humans around you first. They'll get you killed before the zombies even get to you.

    The best metal vocalists

    jorn lande, david coverdale, sebastian bach, phil anselmo, besides some that the others have mentioned like dio, dickinson & cornell. ozzy is a strange choice. I think it's just that his voice is something we are used to hearing on those particular songs? A bit like mustaine? bonus: popular...

    Yeh sab kaun log hai bhai?!! :D There was this lady (from XDA?) that I really liked. She used to do hour long mobile reviews. Aisa in-depth review ho toh mazaa aata hai. Sadly, have forgotten her name. I'm sure someone will come up with that.

    Audio KZ ZSN PRO X Dual Driver 1BA+1DD Hybrid Metal Earphones with detachable cable

    :)... You missed the part about me returning the KZs in the earlier post. I noticed I'd received the wrong version (without a mic) only after I gave it a listen. Since I was already feeling a bit underwhelmed, I decided to return it for a refund, :) .

    Audio KZ ZSN PRO X Dual Driver 1BA+1DD Hybrid Metal Earphones with detachable cable

    Don't recall the exact price. But it was similar to what it was on Aliexpress after coupons. This was at least a year ago. Iirc, even Amazon had 'em. But it was more expensive there. Time it took to receive was about 10-15 days iirc. Yeah, I got excited as well with that thread on head-fi...

    Audio KZ ZSN PRO X Dual Driver 1BA+1DD Hybrid Metal Earphones with detachable cable

    Just so folks know, I had ordered mine via paytm. Not sure if they still have those though. And like the OP, they didn't really blow me away. They weren't anything special. Note that I only have a phone as a source. I concluded that I don't have great ears to begin with. So any nuances are...

    Do you believe in God?

    Thanks for replying. Guess I'm a long way off from evolving, unlike you & some of the other posters on this thread. Right now, I'm in it for the rat race & all the pleasures that life has to offer. Serenity & tranquility can come later. To each his own, I guess, :) .

    Do you believe in God?

    Curious... Why would you want to attain a state of detachment? You're sounding like a Yogi. Keep such goals for when you are old & frail. Just my opinion, no disrespect.

    Do you believe in God?

    Do you believe in God? Well, everybody gangsta until the sh*t hits the fan, :P . I'm not a believer, but hey, my conviction gets tested whenever there's real danger to any of my loved ones. & yeah, when I mistakenly drop a currency note or coin, I happen to pick it up with great reverence, lest...

    Health & Fitness Corona is in full swing and its not Joke !

    Not sure what @psyph3r wants to say exactly? Maybe I'm dumb & just misread it, but it's almost as if he expected an Ebola sorta outbreak & corona is a damp squib? Just seeking clarification. Plus, from what I read about Sweden, the citizens didn't really lead 'normal' lives because it seems an...

    The Fitness Thread !

    Hi, & thanks for replying. I'm already doing a bit of indoor cycling & walking. So jumping rope is something I wanted to add to the mix. So while I'm indeed overweight, I don't intend on dialing up the intensity on the jump rope any time soon. Any idea with regard to how the calories burned...

    The Fitness Thread !

    Hi all, Does the amount of calories burned while Jumping Rope for 5 sessions of 2 minutes each (spread out during the course of the whole day) equate to a single 10 minute session? (Since I can't go much beyond 2-3 minutes at a time currently, I'm thinking it's better to have multiple shorter...

    Phobia discussion: I bet you got one :-0

    Fear of large open spaces at night/dark.... So no romantic nighttime walks on the beach with a loved one, or no night snorkeling in Thailand. :p. Also feel nervous looking up at the Burj Khalifa at night or a starry sky. I thought I had googled & found what it's called, but I've forgotten &...

    Budget 51-70k New PC build for 3DS Max/ Maya/ PS related work

    @ashish What exactly will you be doing when you say you want it for 3ds max, PS etc.? Is it going to be for rendering animations, or maybe some VFX simulation plugins like hair, particle effects etc.? If it's not something along those lines, but rather just cranking out models, texturing them &...

    New cable TV Tariffs to put a hole in your pocket!

    I'm on Videocon d2h as well. I'd selected the channels well before the deadline, & the changes were made only yesterday. Even yesterday itself, the changes happened very gradually - bit by bit. But it seems as though my selection has been respected. Will need to just verify once. @sharktale1212...
