We are a startup based out of Hyderabad, still at ideation and design stage. We are in the process of tying up with an incubator of good repute. If interested DM.
I think I could fill it up and keep driving on it until I fix it. I'm just going to have to pay better attention to keep putting air in it. But I tried putting fix a flat in it a couple months back and that apparently didn't work. So either it's leaking around the bead or from the valve stem. So for the time being if I can get it to hold air I can keep using it instead of using this donut that has no tread on it... And I drive door dash so driving on the donut long term is not great. Either way if I can put air in this tire I have it as a backup in case this freaking donut blows... I am not in a great situation right now lol... But I can't get a new tire at least not until tomorrow or the next day...

I started working in this office about a month ago and have the lay of the land now. It's a very chatty office where we can all be working but still holding a conversation at the same time. I enjoy that, but have found that my life experiences are vastly different than these women.
I was raised in poverty and had poor grades and was not able to get scholarships or anything for going to college, so I have never been. I started immediately in the work force when I graduated from high school and have been working since. All of the other people have college degrees, have traveled the world, go on vacation every year, get take-out frequently, own their condos or homes, have had big weddings, etc. Our common ground is that all of us really love to read and read a lot of different books, but most of us really love YA novels like by Courtney Summers and Nicola Yoon and Sarah Dessen.
Well there are a lot of times when some of them will be shocked if I don't have the same experience they do. We started talking about Christmas coming up and they were all shocked to find out that I only ever received Christmas presents because of school parties or things like that.
The issue came up when we talked about vacations and I said I'd never been on a vacation like the kind where you travel away from your home. This shocked just about all of them and one of them wouldn't let go of it and kept asking what my family did for vacations growing up.
I told her that we didn't get to take any vacations. She kept pressing and saying that everyone gets time off from work, and I said that my parents would often times have to use it to work their second jobs to make more money. She kept insisting that I must have gone on vacation somewhere, or I must have gone to summer camp or to a beach or something, everyone does that.
This really got on my nerves and I said "Not everyone grows up in a middle class fantasy world like in the YA novels where the parents are rich and go to beachside cottages every year, and get Christmas presents and the kids always get into Ivy league schools. That's not real life."
She has stopped chatting with me at work and some of the other women have told me that was an uncalled for comment, that it's not a fantasy world and that they're sorry my parents were "neglectful" of my childhood but that not everyone grows up poor, either. Which I've never said. But yeah, I was defensive because that's not real life! Not everyone gets Christmas presents and not ev

With a lot of recent talk of climate change, I’ve been looking for this mini-series/special that I believe aired on the Discovery Channel (maybe History Channel or National Geographic) in the early/mid 2000s probably around the time An Inconvenient Truth was being talked about. As I recall, the story focused on the entire life of a girl born in 2030? as she tells the story of her family when she was young having to move and adapt due to the effects of climate change such as stronger storms and rising sea levels. As she grows older, I believe she studies civil engineering and assists in developing retaining walls and infrastructure for the city she is living in. Ultimately through some catastrophe, the city must be abandoned and she loses family close to her. I believe the story ends with humans living in small independent/sustainable communities while society is rebuilt. What was unique about it was that I think this was an adaptation from a graphic novel where artwork was displayed and narrated over from a first-person perspective.
Thanks!!
I read the Warhammer 40K novel "Double Eagle"...Its definitly SciFi, but very grounded from a technical standpoint. Planes have Pulse Jets or even Propellers in some cases. You have laser-cannons, but also normal machineguns and autocannons.
Also the aircombat feels very much like WW2...speed, maneuvering etc.
Are there other novels with that premise?
Thanks in advance!
Been wracking my brain for ages. I have a feeling that the book is somewhat British. It had three old ladies, I think. There were two children, possibly more. I believe they came from a divorced family, and the novel began on a train. It was very lighthearted as well.
If you have not read them, I highly recommend both Air Raid and the novel Millennium. Air Raid is a tight story that, as Varley put it when it was optioned for a motion picture, would have made a good episode of The Twilight Zone.
The novel expands on the story, developing the future crap sack earth of several thousand humans slowly going extinct in the ruins of several civilizations, and alternating with the air crash investigation in the present.
The movie falls short of kinda OK.
