technological··on Ask HN: What is your sleep cycle?
I sleep from 10:30PM - 5:15am weekends and weekends no regular schedule.

I am curious to know if current generation and future still interested in buying expensive items like diamonds, jewelry, watches. Because I notice is, you very rarely sell these when you need money unlike like other assets (like House, stocks).

Wonder if only past generation people are the ones who still interested to buy these and feel like whole price is fall down once people loose interest in materialistic things.

technological··on Are My Friends Really My Friends?
Life long friends can be formed anytime but I think you make such friends during undergrad.

Compared to other phases of life where I am either childhish or there lot competition between group of people where real motive of forming bond is different.

technological··on How the Instant Pot cooker developed a cult following
Already many people tried and have a pretty good documented time. So it will work.
technological··on How the Instant Pot cooker developed a cult following
Because here you have two settings/ways

1) Steam is contained inside and not released

2) Steam is released

So rather than x whistles it based on the time.

For example for one cup of Toor dal (Yellow peas / pigeon peas spilt ) we put it for 16minutes with steam valve closed.
