If you can, plan surprise deliveries—like food, flowers, or small gifts. It doesn’t have to be expensive; even something simple that reminds them of you shows effort. Also, making future plans together (like “next time we meet, let’s do XYZ”) keeps excitement alive. It gives both of you something to look forward to, which is huge in long-distance relationships.

From a slightly different perspective, don't underestimate the power of future planning. Talk about your goals and dreams together beyond the long-distance phase. This builds a sense of a shared future and makes the current separation feel temporary and purposeful. Also, establish rituals that are unique to you two, like a "goodnight" selfie every night or playing the same online game together. These rituals create a sense of normalcy and shared experience that bridges the physical gap.

Communication is key, but it's about quality, not just quantity. Instead of just texting "good morning," send a voice note describing what you see or how you feel. Use an app like Couple to create a shared journal. Most importantly, always have a plan for the next visit. Having a date on the calendar to look forward to makes the distance so much more manageable. It gives you both a shared goal to work towards. Trust and patience are your best friends here.

Been in a LDR for three years, and it's all about the little things! Scheduled video calls are great, but surprise calls just to say "I'm thinking of you" are even better. We also watch movies together using Teleparty (formerly Netflix Party) and hit play at the same time. Sending physical mail is a game-changer—a handwritten letter or a small care package with their favorite snacks makes a huge impact. It's about making your partner feel present in your daily life, even when they're miles away.

If you want to close or delete your QuickBooks Online account, you’ll need to log in from a web browser, not the mobile app. Once signed in, click the ⚙️ Gear icon > Account and Settings > Billing & Subscription. There you’ll find the option to cancel your subscription. After canceling, QuickBooks will keep your data for a year in case you want to re-activate, but after that, it’s gone permanently. Be sure to download or export your reports before you close it if you want a copy for your records.

Hey there! I went through this process last month and it's a bit of a pain, but totally doable. QuickBooks doesn't make it super obvious, so here's the step-by-step I followed. First, you absolutely MUST download all your reports and data—transaction history, chart of accounts, everything—because once the account is closed, it's gone for good. Then, you need to go to your account settings, look for "Delete Company," and follow the prompts. They'll try to get you to stay with offers, but just be persistent. A heads-up, you might need to call their support to finalize it. I found this official guide from Intuit super helpful: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/account-management/close-quickbooks-online-company-file/L7pdqVk6U_US_en_US

Welcome to the amazing world of Kaggle! It's simpler than it seems. First, just head over to kaggle.com and create a free account. Then, click on the "Competitions" tab at the top. You'll see a list of active competitions. For a beginner, I highly starting with a "Getting Started" or "Playground" competition—these are usually simpler and have more beginner-friendly tutorials in the discussion forums. You'll download the dataset, build a model using whatever tool you like (Python with scikit-learn is a great start), and then submit your predictions as a CSV file. The key is to learn from the kernels and discussions. Don't be shy, the community is very helpful!

To join Kaggle competitions, first create a free account on Kaggle.com. Once logged in, go to the “Competitions” tab and you’ll see both beginner and advanced challenges. Each competition page has details about the problem, the dataset, evaluation metric, and prizes if any. You download the dataset, work on it locally (Python, R, Jupyter notebooks etc.), then submit predictions through Kaggle’s interface. They also have “Getting Started” competitions like Titanic and House Prices that are perfect if you’re new.

I just helped my cousin with this for Tamil Nadu. The process is now mostly online through the e-Sevai portal. You need to go to the Tamil Nadu e-District website (https://tnedistrict.tn.gov.in/). You have to register for an account first. Then, look for the "Community Certificate" service under the "Revenue Department" services. You'll need scanned copies of your Aadhaar card, a ration card or your parent's certificate, and a passport-sized photo. Fill out the form carefully, upload the documents, and submit. You'll get an application number to track the status. It took about two weeks for his certificate to be approved and available for download.
