@volklub what if the seats leathers are torn in my kushaq style ? should i repair or replace it in service center?

Two things for which my stand will be permanent 1) Avoid getting seat covers for cars with six airbags, considering the poor workmanship in India, both at authorised workshops and outside. Prefer cleaning the seats yourself or getting them dry-cleaned every 6 months. 2) Never get aftermarket alloy wheels, even if they are from reputed brands. Stick to the ones your car comes with, as they are thoroughly tested. I lose a lot of local marketing/collaboration opportunities for this stand but I can't suggest something that I will never do for myself.

@aravind This was a crazy insight! Kudos @aravind

@vice_captain10 The release of Epstein files means there's a high chance of some other distraction soon which could very well be Iran.

💯 agree with him. His analysis is good. I will also add that China's faster rise is because it slept with the west, literally and figuratively. Though it always likes to blame India as doing the things it does. It allied with the US, helped it against the USSR, got rewarded with trade, IP, and WTO. Bribed its way into elite circles of the west, compromised them, made them enable its stealing and copying. And using authoritarianism at home was able to fast forward development with an iron hand selectively. But it never reached that far ahead of India. It is still far behind the US or even a democratic Taiwan, and much behind some advanced European countries. And how long can this last? A section of the west wakes up eventually. A person like Trump comes along. And can end everything by destroying the corrupted elites of the west and forcing the rest of the west to align with the US. This is what is happening. So it doesn't matter the US wins or loses this battle. Eventually China will pay a price and India will pull ahead. And in my view, it's going to happen in 2040s itself, not even in 50 years. And if there's a collapse of the CCP, it may happen in 2030s itself.

@countertype I was wondering about how the performance would be for let's say 20000 nodes of ThreeText in my R3F code rendered at once. Can this be made to work ?

@countertype Hi Jeremy, this is such a fabulous library. I have been reading through the docs to understand this better. Text has always been a part of three.js that has been hard to work with and you have made it so simple and have graciously open sourced it. I thank you for the same.

@theliverdoc Why not milk coffee ?

I think these are the ONLY nutritional supplements worth your time and money (in their recommended situations): - Whey protein isolate - Creatine monohydrate - Black coffee

@aravind @grok explain this

@jsaideepak @ShivAroor @AdityaRajKaul @sushantsareen @UnSubtleDesi @mountain_rats @Manik_M_Jolly @sidhant @Vikspeaks1 @braddy_Codie05 @TheLegateIN @major_pawan @aravind seems to be another great handle for good analysis.

I learnt a lot from these handles (in no particular order) during #OperationSindoor: 1. @ShivAroor 2. @AdityaRajKaul 3. @sushantsareen 3. @UnSubtleDesi 4. @mountain_rats 5. @Manik_M_Jolly 6. @sidhant 7. @Vikspeaks1 8. @braddy_Codie05 9. @TheLegateIN 10. @major_pawan

This is a long post. If you prefer, you can skip to section B. The first part is my assurance, especially for the young 40% of India’s population, who grew up without witnessing a war. Share it among yourselves. A----------A There’s some pessimism and doubt I’m seeing on my timeline. It’s understandable. The adversaries are skilled in infowar and are making many young Indians feel uncertain and fearful. Let me assure you, Pakistan is NOT winning the war it has created. No matter how much it escalates and how many Chinas and Turkeys support it. At most, it will only win a propaganda war for the time being. I’m saying what I stated above with reason, rationality, and not carried away by nationalism. Trust me on this. Pakistan now faces only two options: 1) Take the numerous off-ramps offered by India and back off. 2) Or risk losing the war, incurring heavy losses that could lead to its disintegration. It appears that Pakistan has chosen the latter path. Regardless, it is their decision to self-destruct. India shall support their endeavor. To those posting like “Did we lose this?” “Did we lose that?” “Are we backing off?” “Will they nuke us?” “Are we suffering losses?” “It’s better we de-escalate!” - Understand that your doubts are a result of psyops you’ve been subjected to through social and DS run media. You’re being made to lose hope through the use of fake news and fabricated stories. Don’t be swayed by it. Maintain a strong mind and remain a steadfast supporter of govt and armed forces. Understand this: War inevitably entails losses. Planes and drones can be destroyed, soldiers can be killed, bases can be attacked, and ships can be hit. All of these are possible when fighting a large army like Pakistan, backed by powerful forces. However, it doesn’t immediately mean we feel disillusioned and scared. The end result is what matters. Please read about the 1971 war and the significant losses India incurred to achieve the breakup of Pakistan. And stop asking these silly questions and stop running around like headless chickens - helping Pakistani psyops spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in as many Indians as possible. B----------B Why will Pakistan suffer a severe defeat if it provokes India to declare a war by escalating? Here is what you need to know: India has not yet utilized even 10% of its military capabilities, while Pakistan is already struggling. India has not even declared a war, yet look at the state of Pakistan. It has to blackout media to conceal its losses. The economic and military power differential between India and Pakistan is so immense that even with the assistance of other countries, Pakistan won’t survive a declared war by India. No matter whether it receives a $1 billion or $2 billion bailout, Pakistan cannot survive economically fighting a war if India declares one. China will support Pakistan with intelligence, supplies, and propaganda, but it won’t go to war with India for Pakistan. The same applies to Turkey. Although the US is calling for peace and acting like it’s supporting Pakistan too, the US admin seems to be on India’s side. The anti-India USDS is now weakened and only operates in the media (Ex: CNN) / international orgs (Ex: IMF) domain. It's not a big threat. In my opinion, the US wants India to complete the task of weakening Pakistan militarily, as it has been fully taken over by China. If that's not the case, the US would have intervened already to stop any more escalations. Or it will do so soon. Let's see. In the unlikely scenario that China intervenes fearing Pakistan’s disintegration, the US will also intervene. Trust me on this. India’s missile defense, ammunition stores, and preparations are sufficient for months of war with China. Pakistan cannot dent this much. India possesses resources, capabilities, and partners to replenish itself quite rapidly. So stop worrying about these things. India is always prepared for a two-front war. Therefore, don’t worry about China intensifying its pressure along the LAC, which they may attempt. But we are ready for it. As I mentioned earlier, China will never engage in a full-scale war with India. Its sole objective is to weaken India using proxies or use small conflicts along the LAC to keep us occupied. Pakistan’s nuclear threats have become monotonous and predictable now. While they are indeed a threat, we are well-prepared for them. Even before they launch nukes, we may receive intel and neutralize them. If they do launch, India can still take them out before they hit. In any case, India’s nuclear response will be so overwhelming that Pakistan will cease to exist immediately. So, stop being influenced by subtly planted Pakistani propaganda using Indian handles. Stop being plagued by FUD. Our armed forces have shown remarkable prowess in thwarting thousands of drones, missiles, and PAF attacks on India. This feat is truly exceptional and is under appreciated. The Indian armed forces have also demonstrated deep penetration into Pakistan, inflicting severe blows to their terrorist and military infrastructure. Truly awe-inspiring, but unrecognized by Indians themselves. Remember that all you saw was merely a warning and a display of India’s capabilities. Imagine the consequences if India were to declare a full-fledged war. As I mentioned earlier, Pakistan will panic and de-escalate itself soon. If not, it will lose a war declared by India.

@lalitadvani @aravind Do you have link on tibet as well ?

@aravind She said some tough to this effect about Tibet as well.

"The disappearance of Pakistan is inevitable; this could have already happened, but human ignorance has retarded it." “Again, it won’t be for this time. It won’t be done that way. I’ve seen how. It won’t be done through battle: the different parts of Pakistan will demand separation. There are five of them. And by separating, they will join India – to from a sort of confederation." "That’s how it will be done.” - The Mother, Dec 1971

Guess he didn't tell his generals. All the best to our armed forces. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 #OperationSindoor

Etch this image firmly into your brain for generations. That corpse lying lifeless on the cold ground of Kashyap Mir is the dead spirit of Hindu self-preservation. The woman sitting next to him in shock, helplessness and utter despair is the soul of Bharat bhoomi. We Hindus are responsible for this slaughter of our own self-respect - because we let it happen. There is no greater Sin than forgetting your duty to preserve Sanatan at all costs and allowing Adharma to go Scot free.

@prabhashwori Hi Prahashwori, was looking for a Nutrition coach on PFC club and found your profile. Me and my wife wanted to have an initial call before we enroll. How do we connect?

@Dhilung Thank you @Dhilung . Must have been during mid monsoons when you went there. Was crossing shipton la difficult at that time ?

@MixedRealiTea Hi @MixedRealiTea, so glad to hear! Sorry for the late response... only noticed this today. It was in the August of 2009.

@DasSurma Which model dell monitor do you use? Is it 32 inch 4k ?

I got a DM from @benqlighting_uk where they kindly offered me a free BenQ ScreenBar Halo in exchange for an honest review. Well, count me in! — while Twitter is still a thing… Got a fancy parcel via post. Let the unboxing begin.

Can’t believe AI content generation tools evolved this fast. My belief that being crafty and proficient at a skills like writing, drawing, coding, modeling, editing, etc are pretty much thrown out the window at this point. Not sure what to do with my life now.
