I honestly don’t feel anything for the people of the Appalachia impacted by Helene in the Carolinas or Georgia or Tennessee or other places. Because I know it in my heart that if such a tragedy were to befall the Northern Virginia area, these same residents of the said states would go out of their way with their dear leader to deny us any help or aid. They would revel in our misery and celebrate the deaths because they got to *own the libs*. They keep making the same goddamn voting choices that got them here. I am sorry I don’t give a shit what happens to you because if I was in the opposite side in Northern Virginia you would go out of your way to make my life even more miserable. [Feels good to get it off my chest!]

This could very well be democrats Katrina if they don’t act fast on Helene relief across multiple states.

Sold my 2009 MDX to Carvana today. The whole process was via app first to get the offer, then taking the SUV to the Carvana drop-off. At the drop off took less than 10 minutes to finish checks, remove plates, take the check and be on our way. Carvana offered me way more for my car than anyone else, and I probably would not have sold it for that much in a private sale either. The SUV had many issues including broken side mirror enclosure. When we were purchasing the minivan I tried trading in and multiple dealers basically told me they would pay me 1k and then junk the car. Carvana offered me 4k and handed out the check with minimum fuss. While I am thrilled to get this much for my car knowing the obvious issues, I wonder how the heck is Carvana going to make any money out of it!

The camera control button is literally the worst designed button on the iPhone 16. Why is it there in the place it is? All it is it gets in the way. It’s not intuitive at all and it does not make taking pictures easier at all. It’s a solution looking for a problem to solve.

Just 30 miles into warrenton today and the amount of trump signs on the way there ooooff! Arlington / Fairfax better show up this November else Virginia is cooked!

The sun is out after what feels like ages. I am perched on the deck soaking it all in before we start another 4 days of nonstop rain.

My goodness rain just fucking stop! Like stop now! Enough.

There is a myth that perpetuates in tech world that Indians are the most political tribe in the company. Let me tell you whites are equally bad. My experience in multiple companies in a majority white leadership setting has been exactly same as I have had in a majority Indian setting.

I am just going out and saying it. If Kamala does not significantly find a way to get into the news cycle, be it interviews, rallies or otherwise, she is definitely gone into Clinton category. At this stage I want to be annoyed with wall to wall coverage of her everywhere. Like is she even there? Because it sure as hell feels like she is not campaigning as much as she should be!

I dont get what IIT Delhi, Abu Dhabi campus is. Like shouldn’t it just be IIT Abu Dhabi? Why is it IIT Delhi, Abu Dhabi? Are these IITs run completely independent of one another? Are the not singular entity?
