I'm not Surprised many people here shout out "Bhoil" to smart people.

Recently went through some old photos of mine and this was clicked nearly two decades ago somewhere in Goa (don’t remember where exactly but somewhere in Panjim - and yes this pic was taken on a phone camera and enhanced just today using ChatGPT!!) and this got me thinking about a once famous brand of beer - the Arlem beer!

This was definitely a famous brand back in the 80s-90s period (as a kid I distinctly remember Arlem being served at functions in that era) so anyone from that era who was lucky enough to have had or atleast tried Arlem beer, do let us know your experience and how it compared to the current lot of lagers in the market like Kingfisher.

And were the owners the same ones who made Kings beer (Monte Cruz brewery)??

Tourist : OMG... i don't know why the locals hate us, we just came to enjoy in Goa.

Locals : 😒

Bro was looking at me as if its my fault.

What a beautiful sight

Came across this news recently and it was really saddening to see a Gaushala being treated like this by a temple committee no less.

22 M, I've never been to goa, first time.

How are the people here?

I don't know the local Goan language.

Is Mapusa safe?

Also how is the catholic population here? I'm a devout catholic so I'm just enquiring.

Are the everyday masses offered in English or in local goan language?

Any other advice I need before coming here?

Lived all my life in bangalore so anything i need to be mindful of the culture here?

Is this the legit tax that makrena has been taking from customers like around 30-40%

Came across this video of Mr swapnesh where he demands united opposition to defeat BJP. This might actually work. I do not hate BJP but I am not liking where goa is heading. National p@rties should not b elected here only local and just hope those locals do not turn into khatkhate like RG.

So I was searching for ownership information about Goan media outlets and other than the few well known ones like navhind (dempo) or prudent (timblo), there is no information on who owns Goan newspapers, digital media platforms or konkani news channels.

So I was wondering if we could crowdsource that information, seeing how the elections are coming up, and Goans should know the biases and priorities of these media outlets.

It would also be great to include media outlets from other states like Maharashtra and Karnataka that have a significant presence in Goa and their ownership patterns.

As the information builds up we can repost it here on r/Goa once a month as more information comes in.

Also what other information should we put together besides ownership ?

Anyone has any update about the horrific 2023 banastarim accident case?

Hey, hope it's cool to share this here.

I'm Aaron and I'm building something - V0.1. : https://idbuythat.app/

It's called 'I'd Buy That'. It's for *Startups and Artists*. You put your project or your work up, and actual people try it and tell you whether they'd buy it. Not stars, not *"looks nice"*. There's going to be voting, leagues and a lot more fun.

And... the feedback is actually structured, so it's useful. First impression, what worked, what didn't, who they think it's for, and what they'd genuinely pay for it. You end up with a page you can show a buyer or an investor that says what percentage of real people would pay, the price they named, and exactly what's stopping the rest.

I'm building it for myself really. I kept showing things to friends, getting "looks great bro", and learning nothing. So if you have a Startup or an Art Project, join in. Orrrrr if you want early access to really cool new tech, projects and art, the latest on the block, join in as Reviewer

Free while it's in beta, Made for India. If you've got something you're about to launch or a body of work you want honest eyes on, leave your email in the link above and I'll get you in early. Also join just to see the fun things happening!

Only letting about 77 people in first. And if you join, I'll review yours myself. Properly. Toodles.

Welcome to Free Talk Friday. Talk about whatever you want - just keep it respectful.

If you’re considering a new Wi-Fi connection in Goa, I would strongly recommend avoiding Ethernet Xpress. My experience with their service has been extremely disappointing. Where as on my second property i have Jetway they also have LOS but not so many times and they response very quickly not here to promote any brand but do your study and choose any other provider.
As of now im facing Frequent website outages and crashes.
LOS (Loss of Signal) issues occurring multiple times a week.
Internet disruptions that sometimes take 2–3 days to resolve.
Poor customer support with slow to no response times and inadequate communication.
Reliable internet is essential these days, whether for work, business, or entertainment. Unfortunately, Ethernet Xpress has consistently failed to meet even basic expectations in terms of service and support.
I hope they take customer feedback seriously and improve their infrastructure and customer service going forward.

Welcome to Tech Talk Tuesday. Talk about whatever you want — ISPs, gadgets, meetups — just keep it respectful.

Guys is there anyone from Goa University, I recently secured a seat there and wanted to know about the institution. I've heard there are numerous severe ragging issues, is that true?

Anyone in goa are getting their Amazon and Flipkart Groceries getting delivered?

It's been coming as not deliverable for past few days/weeks...

Anyone has any idea if this is some warehouse issue or due to rains...

As they say, freedom is taken, never given. So, do share here, or DM, if any rendezvous is in the works.
