Who here pays for Canva, and how much? What do you use Canva for? I am evaluating if I will use the paid one as much, as I don't use the free one as much as I would like to.

<< Looking for Volunteers >> Quick Background : There’s a school dropout (10th pass, 2020) who cannot afford to do her 11th/12th anymore (lost time and income in CoViD years) so she’s now thinking about directly going for a diploma in IT instead. She’s based out of Bengaluru and she needs help in understanding what her options are. So I was thinking who better to guide her on this than our own RI tribe 🙂 Anyone who’s interested in sparing 15-20mins for this (today or tomorrow) please DM me your number and time-to-connect. Ideally, we want to talk to someone who has specific knowledge about diploma options available for 10th pass students. Thanks 🙏

Hey tribe, anyone here interested in building hostel or co-living spaces? A property owner approached me, good views, in Temi, Sikkim. Another owner approached for a property in West Sikkim. If you are committed to the travel/remote life and want to build a business then this business has good future. All financial details for my own hostel will be open for reference. But these properties are much larger.

#Health Hi, I don't know what's happening with me. I always feel lethargic, went for a health checkup and reports revealed that I have deficiency of Vit D and insufficient Vit B12. Its been 2 months now since I started my supplements, still I feel lethargic. I went to another doc with my reports to discuss about this and he suggested that I go for a checkup again and see if my vitamin levels are in check now, if they still aren't I might have to get vitamin injections. I asked him what if they are within acceptable levels now? His reposnse was that I might have something else then which is causing this lethargy. I rarely go out and bask in the sun but in evening. I go for walk between 6-7PM but I doubt if sunlight that time is effective. Anyone experienced this?

Hi all, Any suggestions for websites where i can find remote Product manager roles? Or non-remote PM roles in Europe/Singapore. Currently I am a principal product manager in the IT division of a large insurance firm in Asia - worked on both enterprise and led the fitness proposition of a B2C wellness product. In the past, i have built a business and also a bunch of B2C tech products. I have seen a lot of websites for remote roles but they all seem to be geared towards developers. Would love help for PM roles, thanks in advance! Ajay

Hey, I've been fighting with Samsung customer care regarding Overheating of my new S22. I first submitted my phone to service center 13 days after I got it. They deleted everything, just did a software reset and said everything is fine. Once I started using it again after some time, the same issues started happening and the phone started getting really hot near top left corner. So I went to the service center and they said they can't do a handset replacement and can only do a board replacement. I asked them to escalate the issue and they service center asked to call the customer care. They were not at all helpful and said the same thing, confirming the issue and saying they will only do a board replacement. I found their "Mail the CEO" option and mailed them, got a callback next day, said they'll prioritize the issue, etc. But after a week, they said there is no issue with the phone, just take it back, they won't do anything. This is after transferring my data and apps back and forth multiple time while submitting my phone. I have video proof of phone showing extreme temperature (119.7F): https://youtube.com/shorts/fZZIq82u0EA and audio clips of the service center confirming issue and ordering a board replacement: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PIWlpBMHto6z9s3Z6gj2BvZhs96WTx4- They just called me and said I can go to court or do anything I want, they won't do anything. What should I do?
