I'm subscribed to your channels and it's pretty much the only thing I watch on YT (besides some other channels you recommended like Jeremy Fielding). Is there any tool / machinery design in your head that you've been una

Hi Peter, thanks for your time. I have applied for a GC through marriage. I am currently on a H1B via my employer. I have already received my EAD but waiting on the GC interview which might take a while given the current state of affairs.

I had this happen to my Dell XPS 15 about 2 years back. It was a year old at the time so still under warranty. Dell said it was a hardware failure and I had to return it. IT issued me a new Precision 5520 that has worked really well since.

The entire Apple universe is bizarre. I've not used an Apple product except for the first gen iPhone but I did love it when I did. Since then, Apple has been behind the curve on every thing. I want to go back to using Apple since I rea

Google Music has superior UI? SMH. In any case, I switched to GPMAA when it was launched and had the $7.99 a month rate locked in. Then, GPMAA started adding tracks to my playlist, etc. at random. No, Google, I don't want your suggesti

Well, I want to donate but I don't want to use PayPal. And US banks charge an arm and a leg for wire transfers. Is there a way I can simply mail them a check?

Can't upvote this enough. I was in India recently and Whatsapp is a de-facto mode of communication over there, more than email or SMS. Also, FB for promoting businesses just makes sense.

I attended a popup theater in Austin where one of the guest speakers (Gregory Watson) was the gentleman who was influential in getting the 27th amendment passed. He, per his teacher, was a mediocre student at UT Austin and only received a C

Agreed. Spotify Discovery is hardly as good as many people tout it to be. Usually Indie music junk that isn't really my genre. Also agree that Pandora is far superior when it comes to curating tracks. A trick I've learned from a f

Can you please point out where in the referenced article there is a mention of QCOM changing the terms of the deal? I seem to have missed it. Thanks.

Agreed and my analogy is imperfect at best. However, assuming I am eating at a fine-dining establishment, why should tips be percentage calculated? Shouldn't the tip amount be the same regardless of whether I order the expensive items

An analogy for this in the real world would be tips for waiters. As a foreigner, I'm aghast at the tipping culture in the US but more importantly, I fail to understand why tips are calculated on a percentage basis. It is no more effort

I believe the cards are face down when you choose them (which gives the impression that the magician doesn't know which cards you are picking). What is not explained is how the magician determines which of the 3 cards was actually pick
