Wandering Mandarin

@pinkcellgirl The first part of your tweet is correct but I'm not sure about the second part because it assumes that humans have descended from a single couple. But any species evolves over a long time and at the population level. There was no Adam or Eve. So likely the mitochondrial dna has

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm. Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man. And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.

@maxfromto @aviationbrk Nope.

@aviationbrk With a high percentage of pilots in India having fake pilots licenses….

On this day, Air India Flight AI171, departed Ahmedabad Airport at 13:38 local time on a scheduled service to London Gatwick, carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members. Just 32 seconds after becoming airborne, the aircraft crashed into a Medical College hostel complex in Ahmedabad's Meghaninagar suburb, approximately 0.9 nautical miles from the runway. The impact scattered wreckage across roughly 37,000 square metres and damaged five buildings. Of the 242 people on board, all but one passenger were killed, while at least 19 people on the ground also lost their lives. The crash was the first fatal hull-loss accident involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner since the aircraft entered commercial service. The AAIB continues its investigation. The central unresolved question is why the fuel control switches moved — whether due to deliberate action, inadvertent input, technical malfunction, a maintenance issue, component failure, or unexpected system behavior. No conclusions have yet been reached. India's Civil Aviation Minister Naidu has stated that the investigation is in its "last stage" and that findings will "mostly" be available within approximately a month. Officials have indicated that, should technical questions remain unresolved, an interim report may be issued rather than a final set of conclusions.

@vasilyaarkhipov It isn't. Stop bullshitting. Just take your Rs 2 and do your shift at IT cell.

Apple Maps may have accidentally revealed something interesting at the IAF Academy, Dundigal 🤯 A stealth-fighter-shaped airframe, closely resembling the AMCA configuration, is visible in satellite imagery. -twin canted tail -diamond wing planform -stealth-oriented shaping 👀 Mockup? Training article? No confirmation yet, but definitely enough to get the community talking like ''AMCA is ready bro''

@business Bloomberg 9/11 headline probably was: Planes flown mistakenly into buildings

@SunusiMinjibir Stupid AI

A big snake showed up, and this cat didn’t run. She stood her ground. Not because she’s stronger. Not because she’s fearless. But because her babies were behind her. In that moment, it wasn’t about survival anymore, it was about protection. That’s what motherhood looks like. No training. No backup. Just instinct and sacrifice. Mothers don’t wait to be ready. They become whatever they need to be. And that’s a kind of strength you can’t teach.
