How's your day going?🙂

@BJWhittingham @VisionaryVoid 👌🏽🤣

@VisionaryVoid This weather pattern persists to the present day in England.

The Two-Million-Year Rainstorm That Transformed Earth. Approximately 234 to 232 million years ago, during the late Triassic period, Earth experienced an unprecedented climatic event. For an astonishing two million years, the planet was subjected to nearly continuous, non-stop rainfall, profoundly reshaping its geology and biology. This geological phenomenon, known as the Carnian Pluvial Event, dramatically altered the global landscape. Scientists believe it was triggered by massive volcanic eruptions that released vast quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, leading to extreme global warming and intense monsoons. The persistent downpours led to widespread flooding, creating vast new inland seas and lakes. The continuous rainfall weathered down mountains and transported immense amounts of sediment across continents, fundamentally changing the Earth's surface. Despite the relentless deluge, this period of extreme wetness also spurred a significant evolutionary shift. The new, wetter environments facilitated the rapid diversification of plant life and led to the rise of dinosaurs, which thrived in the changed ecosystems. The Carnian Pluvial Event demonstrates Earth's profound geological and biological resilience, highlighting how even prolonged extreme weather can drive massive planetary transformations over deep time.

One cannot help but admire the exquisite irony, dear Madam Rao: there you stand, a distinguished relic of that genteel diplomatic old guard whose exquisite restraint and “civilisational balance” left India perpetually prostrate before a neighbour that repaid every olive branch with the dagger of terrorism and diplomatic treachery. For decades your fraternity calibrated, nuanced, and above all silenced, until the body count in Mumbai, Pulwama and beyond rendered such refinement rather costly. Yet now, with the current dispensation finally dispensing with the scented handkerchief of ambiguity and speaking in plain, unapologetic terms, you emerge to lecture us on the moral imperative of not being silent. How very droll. The very mindset that once kept India weak now presumes to tutor the strong. One might suggest, with the politest brutality, that the world has moved on; perhaps it is time the lecture circuit did likewise. And by the way, ask teenagers around you on how to write post using ChatGPT without getting caught. That post of yours is a crime scene.

@DanBurmawy 3/ In the Mahabharata, there's a story where Bhishma says, "Dharma is the foundation of the universe; Dharma is the protector of all beings" (Anushasana Parva, 108.10). This reflects the idea that Dharma (or justice/righteousness) is a higher principle that guides even rulers.

@DanBurmawy 2/ that's above human-made laws or rulers. The concept of Dharma is rooted in texts like the Vedas and Upanishads, which pre-date the Old Testament. Dharma is seen as an eternal, unchanging truth that governs the universe, and even kings or rulers are expected to uphold it. ..

In 2 Samuel 12, the prophet Nathan confronts King David after he took Bathsheba and arranged the death of her husband, Uriah. Nathan walks directly into the palace and says, “You are the man,” delivering a public and divine rebuke. David doesn’t silence him. He repents. And he is punished. In a time when kings were seen as divine, biblical Israel introduced a different standard. Kings could be judged. Prophets could hold rulers accountable. Justice was not derived from the throne, it stood above it. This is the foundation from which modern constitutional government emerged. The idea that rulers must answer to a higher authority, whether divine or legal, didn’t come from pagan empires. It didn’t come from Greek democracy, which excluded most of the population and protected no universal rights. It came from the biblical tradition, which declared that all people are made in the image of God, that justice must be impartial, and that power must serve the vulnerable: the widow, the orphan, and the stranger. Western civilization was built on this foundation. The rule of law, checks and balances, and human rights are not secular inventions. They are fruits of a moral worldview that sees every person as inherently valuable and every ruler as morally accountable. The French Revolution produced mass executions. Communist states led to the deaths of over 100 million people. Why? Because without transcendent moral limits, power becomes its own justification. Remove the biblical roots, and there is no reason why the strong shouldn’t dominate the weak. Without those roots, justice becomes subjective, and human life becomes negotiable.

Shared some initial reflections on the discourse around Chiraiya and what it reveals about the changing moral vocabulary of marriage, intimacy, duty, and coercion in contemporary society. This is a social and cultural reading, not a legal one. Link in replies

I know Sushant Sareen won't like but let me say it with honesty and complete humility that while his reply to Nirupama Rao is emotionally satisfying and directionally correct but he completely missed the deeper game at play. And this is a problem with even the best of our foreign policy commentariat on the nationalist side. Yes he is right to point out that the moralising brigade did preside over decades of inaction while Pakistan attacked India with impunity. His 'shut up and sit down, you failed' resonates with larger audience rightly frustrated with decades of diplomatic passivity but treating Rao's tweet as just another instance of the old moralist school preaching restraint is like wrapper to faad diya but uske andar suitcase to khola hi nahi. Rao's tweet is not just moralising on Iran; she is using it as a carefully constructed bridge FROM a seemingly sounding legitimate critique using India's strategic silence on Iran TO a specific policy proposal (reopening India-Pakistan engagement through 'parallel tracks' in the Gulf). Khar's reply is the connector that makes that bridge seem natural. And Rao's final response is the actual payload: a 'women's caucus,' Gulf cooperation frameworks, parallel tracks that bypass the terrorism accountability question entirely. In my quoted thread, I tried going ahead of the 'sit down’ thing and tried showing you exactly what is inside the suitcase, and why it is dangerous.' Actually it is the only response that actually neutralises this dangerous tango of Khar and Rao…… Do read the thread and also the old threads at the end, if you so want to!

@nxt888 You write really well!🙂👍🏼

I’m actually writing this from the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, in sovereign, thriving Vietnam. So yes, John, I am living it. The difference is that the Vietnam Dream was built from the ashes your "liberators" left behind. It’s a dream of self-reliance and dignity that doesn't require a global network of 800 military bases to sustain. The American Dream is a hallucination that only exists because the rest of the world is forced to endure the American Nightmare. Your "prosperity" is a debt-fueled luxury suite built on the backs of countries you’ve spent a century trying to break. You don't have a "dream." You have a global protection racket. We were supposed to be the "example" of failure. Instead, we are the prophecy of your decline. You're still obsessed with being "invincible," but we’re the ones who proved you aren't. While you’re busy drowning in your own "regime changes" and internal rot, we’re just busy being free. The Vietnam Dream is real because it belongs to us. Yours only exists as long as you can keep the rest of us under your boot. And as 1975 proved, your boots aren't as heavy as you think.

@LeonardVolner @daniel_mac8 That's helpful. Thanks 🙂.

@KnowledgeNewfie @daniel_mac8 Example- User says they have no children and no plans for them, the "goal ontology mapper" shuts off all further lines of questioning related to child-rearing goals. E.g. don't ask the user if they plan to save for child's college or house or business fund.

This is amazing. Do this.

@LeonardVolner @daniel_mac8 @LeonardVolner Could you share a little more details please?

I used to do this but context rot and "confidence interval theater" is a real problem. So I built a tool that has an "elicitation engine" that picks questions to ask, an "atomic fact table" that appends facts to the table continuously, and then a "goal ontology mapper" that tells the "elicitation engine" which topic areas need more Q&A and which are mapped sufficiently. Then the model serves up a list of elucidate/articulate goals based on the conversation history. Based on user slider feedback on "does thisn oal resonate with you 0-5", the model either cements the goal or it takes the lower resonance scores and uses that as feedback for another iteration.

@TalosDreams @typesfast Hey close the door! The other door! THE OTHER DOOR! 😆

If Tesla makes a car with 3 rows of seats, each with its own pair of doors so nobody has to climb over anybody else to get to their seat, they will create a baby boom the likes of which we haven’t seen in 80 years

@anishmoonka @drgurner That's tough!😅

@drgurner 💯 One of the very few who have been able to meet & exceed Elon’s standards for ~24 years now!

The woman on this TIME cover running a company heading toward the largest IPO in history chose her career because she liked someone’s shoes. As a teenager in suburban Chicago, Gwynne Shotwell thought engineers were, in her words, “nerds, social outcasts, nose pickers.” Her mom dragged her to a Society of Women Engineers event without telling her where they were going, because she knew Gwynne would refuse. Shotwell sat in the audience, bored and annoyed, until a mechanical engineer walked on stage. The engineering didn’t grab her. The woman’s suit did. Her shoes were, as Shotwell later said, “marvelous.” Her bag matched. Shotwell went up after the panel, talked about the outfit first, then the career, and walked out saying she’d be a mechanical engineer. She applied to one college. Just one. Northwestern. Got in. She was one of three women in a class of 36 engineering students. During college, she landed an internship at a heating and cooling company based purely on her resume. Days before she was supposed to start, her new boss called and heard her voice for the first time. “You’re a girl,” he said. “There’s no way you can do this job. There’s heavy lifting involved.” Shotwell, a varsity basketball player who also played lacrosse, told him she could probably kick the butts of every intern he’d hired. He hung up on her. Two decades of career detours followed. Chrysler, a PhD she dropped after nine months when the $12,000 fellowship couldn’t compete with a real salary, and a decade at an aerospace research center. In 2002, a former colleague named Hans Koenigsmann invited her to visit a small startup called SpaceX. She met the founder, a guy mostly known at the time for helping start PayPal. He wanted to sell reusable rockets at the lowest possible price. Shotwell told Musk he needed someone doing business development full-time, but she had zero intention of taking the job herself. Musk called her later that day. She was in the middle of a divorce, raising two kids, and renovating her house. She took the job anyway, becoming employee number seven. That startup is now valued at $800 billion and preparing for what could be the largest IPO ever, targeting $1.5 trillion. SpaceX has completed 630 Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches. Starlink serves over 9 million subscribers across 150+ countries and pulls in roughly $10 billion a year on its own. The seven-person company now employs around 14,000. The woman running all of it picked her career because she liked a stranger’s shoes at an event she tried to skip.

@TashP351 @Jurassic_Liz I agree with Tashy. Distance does make the heart grow fonder provided the separation periods are not too long. It helps both partners grow up independently & along with each other. It's bittersweet. It's fun.🙂

@Jurassic_Liz Oh Liz. It’s just a joke.

My friend’s life changed today in ways she never saw coming. She had the devastating news that after 16 years, her husband has quit offshore work and will now be permanently living at home.

@onu_slim True👍🏼!

If you are 65, and you have a sibling somewhere in this world who is about the same age as you, please listen. Time is no longer something you assume you have. It is something you now understand can quietly slip away, without announcement, without apology. The years behind you are now longer than the years ahead. And yet.… there is still something heavier than age…..unforgiveness. Two children who once shared meals, laughter, secrets, and struggles… now living like strangers because of something that, if we are honest, time has already reduced in importance…..pride kept it alive…..silence fed it….ego protected it. But let me tell you something plainly. There is no victory in carrying resentment into old age. There is no honor in proving who was right when both of you are running out of time to simply be at peace. One phone call can end years of distance. One visit can heal what decades could not. Not because the past changes, but because the heart finally chooses rest over war. You do not need to agree on everything. You do not need to rewrite history….you only need to decide that love is more important than being right. Into the night of life, what matters is not who offended who. What matters is who found the courage to let go. Because when the silence becomes permanent, you will not remember the argument. You will only remember that you had a chance… and you didn’t take it. Forgive…..not because they deserve it. But because you deserve peace before the night fully comes.

@Chulbulpanda420 🤣

Jameel Mamu from Dhurandhar is just like the HOD of our department. He confidently assures you beforehand that he’ll take care of everything in your exam or viva. But on the actual day, right in front of the examiners, he pretends he doesn’t know you: 'Bhai, Aap mere department mein doctor ho kya?' Still, at the end of the day, he’s the one who saves you from failing the post graduate exam.
