🚢 Gulf states consider new pipelines to avoid Strait of Hormuz.

Meet Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr. Iran’s new National Security Advisor. He’s so radical that the late Qassem Soleimani threatened to resign from the IRGC if Zolghadr wasn’t removed in the 1990s. Soleimani found him “too extreme”.

Trump: On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem as crowds welcomed him with praise honoring him as king. They call me king now. Can you believe it?

Those who got mails in Oracle, things will be fine in long run. 21 Years back faced the same situation in the same firm. Globally they laid off 6000 due to Peoplesoft merger then, many friends including me lost jobs then. It took some time and eventually things changed for better

SUMMARY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ADDRESS TO THE NATION: 1. The Iran War will last another "two to three weeks" 2. The US will strike Iranian power plants if no deal is reached 3. Core strategic objectives are "close to completion" in Iran 4. The US "will bring Iran back to the stone age" 5. The US will not import oil from the Strait of Hormuz in the future 6. "Iran's navy is gone and their air force is in ruins" US oil prices are surging above $103/barrel after the speech.

@randomvichar Yes. I don't think there is anyway they can force you to respond, but if you went going to college and applying for federal financial aid, I believe you had to have registered. Not sure if that is still the case. 18, was a long time ago for me : )

@dubash haha, interesting. did you get one too?

today, for the first time, ever since I came to US, I saw an ad reminding men that its mandatory to register for draft (selective service)

It's real. 50g dry soya chunks genuinely pack around 25-26g protein, that's not a printing error on the packet. Per 100g it's roughly 52g protein which is higher than chicken breast on a gram-for-gram dry basis. The catch everyone ignores is bioavailability, soya has a DIAAS score of around 84-91% (varies by processing) compared to whey at ~109%, so your body actually absorbs and uses roughly 21g of that 25g. Still it's the single best plant protein source a vegetarian can get at less than 10 rupees for a 50g serving, nothing else even comes close at that price point. Dal gives you maybe 7-9g protein per cooked bowl (but half of that is carbs) and Paneer is solid but costs 5-6x more per gram of protein. Inb4 soya chunks nuke testosterone levels - that's just internet bro-science which has been debunked by studies. For anyone consuming soy protein in moderate quantities daily, it's perfectly fine. You would need to eat soya chunks in unimaginably excessive quantities for them to even marginally disrupt your hormonal profile.

@hydertext Which reminds me the more egregious office holder was SM Krishna as EAM.

@dubash No doubt. The ultimate responsibility is with the EAM and the PM

Nirupama Menon should not be criticized for her actions while she was in service. She was hopefully following the instructions of the administration in power. She should be mocked for suggesting that women to women contact can achieve something the current apparatus cannot.

@hydertext If the current output is indicative of her past interventions, I would still hold those who took the advice accountable : )

@dubash At her level, she would have had massive input into cabinet policy, not to speak of freedom to implement.

@dubash My 2 cents is that a weak political leadership takes its guidance only from babus and considering how weak the entire MMS cabinet was the babus can’t be spared from the responsibility of the decisions of those times

How Moody Gee greet foreign ministers Viral Video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@gopimaliwal yes : ) As the saying goes, America won every battle and North Vietnam won the war.

@dubash Had more resources n lot more dominance in 1960's, no?

The war is not go according to plan. But America has more resources. It's the leadership that is incompetent.

Either they were wrong to hire so much in the first place or AI is truly disrupting this space.

🚨 About 91.28% of PUNJAB Budget will go towards paying interest on loans, salaries of employees, pensions and power subsidy. Let that sink in. In just 3 months, Punjab Govt borrowed: • ₹3,000 crore in January • ₹4,000 crore in February • ₹5,006 crore in March Total: ₹12,006 crore in one quarter. And now the AAP led Punjab Govt has also rolled out monthly assistance of ₹1,000 for women, ₹1500 for SC women, a major poll promise. In all, around 97% of all adult women in Punjab will be eligible under this scheme, which is the highest for any state in India. Even more worrying, Punjab’s growth is slowing: >16% in 2021-22 >8.38% in 2022-23 >11.36% in 2023-24 >9.02% in 2024-25 >And now 7.94%. Punjab is expected to earn around ₹1,26,190 crore, but ₹1,15,185 crore will already be eaten up by liabilities. What remains? Just about ₹11,005 crore for infra and key schemes. This is what a debt trap looks like. The state is expected to borrow nearly ₹39,971 crore this year, taking total debt close to ₹4.5 lakh crore by March 2027. Debt servicing alone will consume ₹42,481 crore, including ₹28,755 crore just in interest payments. That is money not being used to build Punjab, but to survive past borrowing. And despite this crisis, the government continues with expensive giveaways: >₹15,500 crore on free power. >₹9,300 crore on aid to women. >₹600 crore on free travel for women. The freebies bill is now estimated at ₹26,300 crore, which is even higher than the revenue deficit of ₹21,955 crore. So debt is rising, growth is falling, and development is getting squeezed. This is not welfare. This is borrowed politics. Punjab is not being built. It is being run on loans.
