I am an Indian and this is the first time I an hearing of this. I am genuinely surprised and curious. Which part of India does your stepbrother’s company operate in?

Valacyclovir isn’t good for PrEP, but it is very good at preventing outbreaks and further transmission

Usually you switch meds, because there are multiple options now

You’re correct, should not have generalized like that. Edited my comment to make that distinction.

I agree that there is a certain risk but saying that is the way in most parts is highly exaggerated. India is huge and there are certain problematic areas but it’s just like any other country with few creeps and good fellows. The move was purely from a goodwill perspective and not related to woman safety. Women roam the streets in the night without any fear in majority of the metropolis in India. Don’t try to take away the credit where it is due.

The article doesn’t mention it, but in many parts of a India there are curfews, often even earlier curfews for women due to how incredibly unsafe some parts are. This could be the reason for a system like that.
Source: my stepbrother runs a division for large international company and they have to have security walk the floor of their office to ensure all women have left by a certain time. They personally escort them to waiting rides.
Edited: To note curfews may only be applicable to certain regions or cities with higher crime rates.

Up in my area of the northwest a lot of landlords don’t care one bit and some older rental houses are uninsulated and still running former coal furnaces retrofit to gas.

Whoa.
There are three refineries in Alaska.
Kenai, North Pole, and Valdez.
They are just small. Kenai can take in 68,000 barrels per day, North Pole is 22,000 bpd, and Valdez is 60,000 bpd.
Also, they all produce diesel and jet fuel, but only Kenai produces gasoline.

Heat pumps get 200-300% efficiency.
For people whose electricity is generated from gas, you should include the efficiency of generating electricity in your calculation. So a space heater would be ~50%, but a heat pump still beats direct gas heating.

I haven't seen the negative comments on here as worse than on TikTok.

I believe they are in New Dehli, or just outside of it.
It came up in conversation because his company is trying to get everyone back in offices across the globe. Part of his team is in India, and because the women have to end their shift by 7 PM local time while there are still 3 hours left in a work shift that partially overlaps with morning hours in the U.S., he is fighting back on this requirement as he would prefer they continue to work from home. I'm not sure what they did before the pandemic, but it sounds like it's been more productive with that team being remote, at least with the women who aren't forced to stop in the middle of a shift.
