In light of recent reports regarding recordings inside customers’ homes by one of our competitors, many people have asked whether @urbancompany_UC engages in anything similar, or intends to do so in the future. The answer is clear and unequivocal: we do not. We are in the business of trust, and we take customer trust and privacy extremely seriously. We do not engage in any such activities, have never done so in the past, and have no plans to do so in the future. Our customers’ privacy is paramount to us, and we remain fully committed to upholding the highest standards of confidentiality, safety, and trust.

Actually, obligatory: Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit. Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"




You had one job. Just one.

While Americans argue over what is "AI slop" the Chinese are busy creating absolute cinema using Seedance 2.




Water is not supposed to fulfill your mineral requirements. Period. Packaged mineral water (Bisleri, Kinley etc) has primarily calcium and magnesium (as required by FSSAI), with concentrations: Ca: 10mg/L Mg: 5mg/L (1/2)



I think this is something you must do. Buy a TDS meter from Blinkit/Instamart, costs Rs 150-200 and check the TDS of your drinking water. Just found out the water I was drinking had a reading of 40 ppm. Devoid of any minerals, causing bloating and stomach issues. It deteriorated slowly, without us noticing. Despite having a mineral candle connected to RO. I ordered Bisleri bottles to check with the dame device. Their reading came out to be 160 ppm. I think that’s ideal.
