  • Off topic but the worst effect of uber imo has been in poorer countries with no public transport.

    First uber started and it was a rich kids thing. Then it grew and added uber bike which was cheap and uber became more mainstream.

    Then came the inevitable knock offs, cheap uber alternates that give 0 fucks about quality control, allow anyone to drive on it or what vehicle is registered. Absolutely no standards but cheaper.

    Then uber packs bag and leaves while people are now stuck with these terrible services.

    Like sexual assault complaints by their drivers are ignored. Drivers stealing money is ignored. Uber actually took that stuff seriously.





  • Jheenga (prawn) biryani. Now y’all might know about biryani as its pretty famous. But might not have heard of it with prawns. Its pretty special and I’ve had it maybe 5-6 times in my life and it hits every time.

    Yeah frozen is an option but all our food is pretty much farm to table, so we’ve gotten it from another city a few times but it’s not particularly common.

    Its more delicate in flavour and less spicy than mutton, beef or chicken biryani. Also no potatoes (pls don’t fight here over this folks).

    But sea food is a winter thing and prawns aren’t common here. Also my mom claims to be allergic to fish (she isnt), she’s often had seafood and only later found out it included fish and just gone oh. She claims to be allergic after once 30 years ago she got sick after having fish at a wedding…

    So the few times I’ve had it my grandma cooked it. But she doesn’t really cook so it’s infrequent and prawn prep is hell too.

    If you can get this somewhere near you, absolutely try it!
